Well......what an embarrassing pile of crap that was. As soon as I saw the line up I said that Reading would boss the midfield. If I can see it, what the hell are Harry and the other dinosaurs on the coaching staff looking at? Playing the God-awful Kranjcar in the centre of a two man central midfield was suicidal. The young, athletic Reading midfielders must have thought it was Christmas! The commentators were banging on about how we'd kept possession so well in the first part of the season. That's because we played 3 central midfield players in a 4-2-3-1. Thus we controlled the games and managed to sneak a lot of them. Now we've lost Charlie, Harry has decided that we need two up front to try to replace his goal scoring threat. A fair assessment imo, but he keeps on playing it without a holding midfielder...........today was the result, as was Burnley. 6 goals conceded in the last two home games. FFS Harry, it isn't rocket science. Trouble is, Harry rates Kranjcar and will just keep on picking him, even though the set up doesn't suit him. Same goes for Zamora, who looked so slow when he came on, but Harry rates him!! Our ageing, slow centre backs are being badly exposed by a lack of cover and their resulting collapse in confidence is also now making us look like conceding at every set piece. Today, Hill lost his man for the 2nd and Green could have come for the cross. For the 1st, Barton was just jogging back and never tried to fill in in the centre. To be fair, Dunne had a better game, but BAE just jogs around. He never once tried to stop his man crossing the ball and he didn't try to make a challenge before that thunderbolt 3rd. Kranjcar was absolutely awful today and he shouldn't play again in a two man central midfield. In fact, he just shouldn't play.......except ol' clueless rates him! Hoilett and Traore were good at times and Keen looks a good player. Doyle, although he scored, was awful too. I can see no difference between how clueless Harry looks and how clueless Hughes was. Both completely useless and both just think the only way to get a good team is to buy "names", regardless of whether those players will actually give their all. We have made the same mistakes with this team as we did under Hughes. Also, Harry said he doesn't like too many loanees....really? Could have fooled me!! The only way to get our season back on track, taking into account that we're stuck with all these journeymen and loan players, is to go back to playing 4-2-3-1 and try to control games and hope to nick enough wins. I have nothing against Harry as a person, as I believe some on here have, but he is really ****ing this up!! There are also rumours coming out from contacts at Spurs that he never really wanted to come here and doesn't feel he belongs. All in all, a right old pile of cack!!
He wants Scott Parker, the 32 yo who's legs have gone, that will fix things! I've said for months that has worse than Hughes, at least Hughes had PL opposition and redknapp makes up play like crap against everyone including yeovil and Donny. There's so many faults that I can't list them, well done for you having a go though.
What absolutely amazed me today was r's fans throwing punches at each other over zamora, apparently a gent and his 17 year old son slated zamora when he came only to be confronted by a gent who disagreed and it kicked off.
I haven't agreed with everything you've been saying and I still feel that you've been overly negative at times. But I for one am prepared to say that, in the main, you've been right in your assessment of the direction the club has taken.
Well that's me sold! Here we have a bloke who wanted rid of COLIN, rid of Hughes, rid of Redknapp and rid of Fernandes to boot. Ever since he's been on here he's said everything and everyone is sh*t. Every player, every coach..................everything. Not once in the three years he's been on this Site have I heard him utter one single word of positivity. If you complain morning, noon and night for three years then sooner or later you're going to come across a scenario where you can say you've been proved right. Its the law of averages. You can be wrong 99 times but when you inadvertently stumble across the truth at the 100th attempt, it doesn't mean you were right all along. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Flyer has consistently hedged his bets this season. When we lost it was because of Redknapp. Yet when we won it was because Redknapp had done what he suggested. Before today's game Uber pulled him up on his bullshi*ting, as he was at his usual sh*t-slinging but, as ever, wasn't putting forward an alternative option. That way he can claim to be some sort of expert at the end, regardless of how the games go. Remember, this is the expert who declared that "Goalkeepers should have bouncier stances" and "our players should play more diagonal balls". Now all of sudden, when things are beginning to go tits up, he's being treated as some sort of sage. How some people are falling for this tripe is beyond me. Its grotesque, unbelievable, bizarre and unprecedented.
I just don't like to see the club go down the crapper especially as I could have avoided it if I'd been TFs advisor, Hughes and redknapp would have got nowhere near loftus road if I had my way. So PM me Tony if you're reading! This summer will be absolutely massive. Quite possibly the most important in our history.
See what I mean? His head will explode if you give him any more acclaim. He actually believes he should be advising the Chairman He's a joke. Nothing more
This was right next to me. The 'gent' who was booing Zamora (along with everyone else like he seems to do every week) was the one who threw the first punch after someone finally stood up and took exception to his booing.
At first I thought there was a reading supporter in our bit, bet he's never had people fighting over him before
It take me 30 match to realise you were right bully boy. Harrys time has gone. He is truly clueless and todays performance was total digrace to all of QPR family.
Good sum up Col, it is pretty dire at the moment isn't it, well it has been all season! I have lost all faith in HR. It seems we are just getting worse now instead of better as the season goes on. Very very lucky to be 3rd.
No not really, I'm always up the back nearer the away fans, a steward who was stood next to me ran over to it and I asked him when he got back. Could see punches flying but that was about it.
Harry looks like he's trying to stumble on the right formula. I sincerely apologise for repeating myself but PLAYING A 4-4-2 WITHOUT A DCM IS SUICIDE. FFFFFFFFFFFS
Cheer up guys. At the start of the season many thought we were going down. We're third ffs. We've been unlucky with injuries. Today was a bad day. Every team has them. What's important is that we don't let it become a bad run of form. Win the next game and everything will be fine.
Flyer's never been right. He simply moans from start to finish of every season and says "I told you so" as soon as things go wrong. I may as well say everything's brilliant all the time, and say "I told you so" when we win a game. We were doing a good job earlier in the season, and everything was fine and dandy.
