    If , as others have said SR are calling the shots on how we play , it won’t matter who is the manager if they can’t get the players playing how they want them to ?

    I doubt he will switch the keepers back (mainly because we won). But I personally didn't see it necessary to recall both Bazunu and Stephens. I don't think either justified it.

    With the way we were hanging on I imagine it was very easy to get caught up in it. Had we just won 2-0 and controlled the game like a semi-competent team then I doubt they'd be reacting like that.

    Well that was a horrible watch. Two lovely goals and cruising until Bazunu… I don’t even know what he was doing.

    And then we decided to basically sit so, so deep, and just let QPR cut in and shoot or cross at will.

    That is not the way to see out games ffs. Maybe against top opposition, but not weak teams like this.

    Oh and of course Damion Downs the invisible man comes on again. Completely lose our press. Have some mercy on us long-suffering fans, please.

    We’ve got some talented players but just completely lack any organisation.

    And the sooner we have Charles and Romeu in midfield, the better.

    We only went and ****ing won <party>

    Just as I was thinking how nice it was to have a goal for the first time in 14 months they got one back and made it nervy as ****. They must have had about 7/8 corners after their goal.

    Rode our luck a fair bit but don't even care. Azaz was horrific, Wood completely lost it with him on multiple occasions.

    Absolute worldy from Leo, even from the other end I knew it was in.

    That'll ****ing do! SR out.

    Still not impressed by Azaz or Fellows. Jander is so-so and Leo is mega. So many other players are just not pulling their weight or are not good enough. Good result, not good performance.

    Wasn't a fan of the over the top celebrations at the end. Think we'd won promotion rather than our first game in 6 weeks.

    Probably being a bit harsh given how tense it was at the end but it just annoyed me the players wanting to act like heroes when they've been pathetic for weeks.

    Reasons to be cheerful, Leo, J-Rob, Jander, Oriol.
    Baz and Jack should not be in the starting XI and 3 CBs will never exploit our players in the best way.
    New manager in asap.

    I'm still happier with Baz in goal than McCarthy. McCarthy would have punched at those high balls in the 6 yard box - Baz claimed them. Yes he has his flaws but I saw nothing from McCarthy in the spell he had to tell me he's a better keeper.

    Thought Jack was excellent tbh mate. Annoyed me when he started arguing with the ref and home fans unnecessarily though.

    Azaz fair enough he has been abysmal and has had quite a few chances now.

    But Fellows hasnt had a chance to play in his actual position yet.

    Not for me.

    Baz is one of the worst keepers I have ever seen. He’s the Damion Downs of goalkeepers.

    Thought we were abysmal tonight. We just had a lot more luck than recent weeks. But hopefully we can build on a win and grow from here…

    Also, I hope Scienza’s injury isn’t too bad as we are genuinely relegation candidates without him.

    You can argue that Azaz hasn't played as a 10 in a 4-2-3-1 yet. We have always been light in central midfield.
