Match Day Thread Brentford vs QPR

McLaren’s transfers need to be questioned too.

Wells has been ok. Hemed has been crap. Signing old players was always a risk so while Cameron and Rangel were great for a bit they can’t be considered successes and no doubt all four are on very good money.

 

Brentford are the perfect example of good scouting via the Moneyball system, they've sold a number of decent players yet always seem to find replacements, mainly from abroad, that fit their system. There's definitely joined-up thinking that maintains a decent level there. To be honest we're not really showing any great enterprise in our recruitment and we don't seem to have a real playing ethos to follow, we're generally crap to watch...

 

3 - bloody 0.
We are a really strange outfit. Granted we beat Leeds on Tuesday, good job they weren't in the mood like they were last night against west Brom. Then get beat to our rivals. We just dont seem to make sense as a team.

 

Jesus 3-0 just got in 4G range
Day ruined and that after catching some big carp

 

Funny, the team today was looking pretty carp too.

 

it's the 2nd March and I cant wait for this season to be over.

 

Shocking performance - nothing else to add...

 

It was a poor performance. Didn't feel or look like a team.... No linking up... No threat .... No reaction. Can't argue about losing though 3 was harsh.

Think l'm at a stage on a Sunday morning where l refuse to get upset having lost.
The wheels have fallen off and it seems, SM mojo is all but gone.
We certainly have been getting smacked, lately.

As mentioned by others, it seems Brentford have a real system in place and they probably have only a fraction of the coaching / management staff that we have.
Probably no DoF either. Just shows, if you have the right people in place, you need less of them.

Very disappointing indeed.

 

You're right of course, they have no DoF, but they also have no FPP.

 

God those goals were frustrating. Never a pen, if anything Hall was fouled. Not sure what Lumley was doing charging off his at full pelt, he's an odd keeper capable of brilliance and calamity. And obviously we get a deflected goal to finish us off.

 

Please expand on last paragraph since that is news to me!

As to the game and our position, we are a perverse bunch! FFP (Well actually the folly of Fernandes and Co) has killed any prospect of decent footie for at least another season or two. I'm just grateful for the points we do have but we can't go on another six run losing streak!!

 

You don’t need to spend loads of money to not play like that. That was horrendous. No attacking intent at all apart from hoping for the best at set pieces.

However I’ve just seen the penalty again and that really is as bad a decision as you’ll ever see and we’ve had some absolute whoppers this season. And all from a big lump over the top too. Until then we were crap but in the game without them looking up to much either.

 

Missed this game as I was flying, but it's strange we seem to have been so bad after doing as well as we did against Leeds.

 

The Leeds game will have taken a fair bit out of them but Brentford lost rather limply up north so can’t really blame that.

It was a tactical clusterfuck along with several well below par individual performances. Even with that we were sufficiently sucking the life out of the game until the Keith Stroud show got going.

 

not surprised really, it's what we do

 

I thought we were in for a tough time when Stroud was named as ref, you wonder how half-wits like him are still on the roster...
