We normally stat pad with half a dozen passes between the defence and Nardi before one of them has to wallop it anyway. It’s more a measure of directness than how good we are with the ball.
Last time I saw the R's play against Charlton Athletic, Nov 23rd, 2013, Ben Hamer only succumbed to that Charlie Austin 40th min rocket.
A disappointing afternoon En route to Manchester Airport now Have to seriously consider the wisdom of coming back for the Hull game
Alledgedly Kolli has been to **** off by a qpr coach due to his attitude and overall fitness . Anyway that is what is circulating on the twittersphere. No idea if true
Just back from yet another dismal game. 3 positives. We had a keeper who doesn't **** himself when the ball goes in the box, Burrell works his socks off and we didn't lose. It was a game with two average teams (at best) each hoping for a win rather than trying to get one. Sheff utd probably wanting it more to be fair. We seemed to be under instructions, when they got the ball then every player had to get back in our half. There was little to no pressing them in their half. Mbengue as much as a fan favourite, is a liability at times. Varanes first and often only thought is to pass it backwards. It was piss poor
Yes, you're right, faffing around at the back would flatter the passing accuracy percentage but, come on, 61% tells us a little bit more than we had a direct style of play. I watched the game and our passing (and ball control generally) left a lot to be desired; it was like pinball at times.
Don’t know l keep waking up on a Sunday morning & looking at the match report. I guess a draw isn’t pointless.
Based purely on today he should be our No. 1 choice for the rest of the season. Hope this doesn't put the mockers on him.
He was excellent. Commanded his area as a Championship goalkeeper should and the save he tipped over the bar was particularly good. But he’ll be 38 when we play the next game. He wasn’t a particularly brilliant keeper at his peak. He won’t play like this every time. But for now he should keep the shirt simply because he isn’t Nardi. I hope they’re strongly considering giving Murphy a chance from January. Man of the match for Barnsley today.
How many times today did we make a misplaced pass to an opposition player? Felt like 2,384 times today Yet again my lad asked me why we put ourselves through this week after week So far he's seen the Watford and Blades games - it's any wonder we have younger supporters other than father's punishing their sons
We've broken one young goalkeeper this season already. However much I want us to have a good keeper, I hope we can allow Murphy develop and introduce him when he's ready.
Nah break him now. He’ll have about 100 pro games under his belt by Jan. Let’s destroy him now rather than wait until August.
But then we can't play him during a pre-season friendly against Harrow Under 12's, decide he's our saviour, print a million T-shirts with his face on, then boo him when he delivers a poor goal kick 3 minutes into the start of the season.
I note the 'Julien Stephane Blue & White Army' chant persisted almost non-stop second half by a small group of the yoof behind me - not universally accepted by all, especially the old bloke beside me who shouted Never Trust The French!
Strange Bob that u pick Mbengue, one of our better players in my opinion, in fact 1st name i would have on team sheet.
I don't disagree with you, I just said he's a bit of a liability at times. I get the impression that Julien still doesn't know his strongest team which is a tad worrying at this stage.
Mbengue is class, but also bonkers and always susceptible to a brain fart. I'd still pick him every week.
