Onouha slams Tottenham performance

NEDUM ONUOHA says the whole of QPR – from the players to the boardroom – have to stand up and take responsibility for the side’s abject capitulation at White Hart Lane on Sunday.

Nedum Onuoha believes QPR must stay positive despite two defeats in the league

Fingers are being pointed at the failed 3-5-2 formation which was abandoned at half-time of the 4-0 defeat which leaves QPR bottom of the early-season table.

But Onuoha insists that such talk is just making excuses and feels each individual has to hold his hands up – right through the club.

“I don’t know if it was a formation thing – I just think we weren’t at it, from one to 11 and the whole club in general,” he said. “And Tottenham is the type of place where you need to be at it 110 per cent.

“I don’t know why that was the case. It is certainly not like us. But when you start poorly and go a couple goals down it is difficult to recover."

We’ve got to remain positive and carry on

He added: “We managed to do better in the second half but by then the damage was done.

“There were a few individual mistakes and we need to learn as individuals that you can’t make those type of mistakes.

“I don’t know if it’s a wake-up call. It’s still only August. We’ve got to remain positive and carry on.

“Our fans are realistic. They know this season will have ups and downs. It was the same last year. We started the season really well and fell away a bit before coming back.”

Honest talk at least. Not quite sure why the board have to put their hands up though? It's not like they've been tight with the money is it?

 

Why why why why why is this guy not in the bloody team?

I love Dunne- most of us probably do- but he won't be suited to the left of a three as long as I have a hole in my arse. Hill would be better suited there too.

 

Poor ned, he doesn't understand our fans very well does he? Realistic he says?! I'd say we have some of the biggest whinging, deluded bunch of moaners of any club in the country at the moment. The result didn't dent my confidence yesterday, but the reactions from some if our fans has left me feeling very depressed.

I guess it comes from 10 years of incredible highs, mixed with the abyssal lows that has left some of our fans with scrambled memories and prone to unrealistic tendencies. But I still can't believe some of the **** I'm reading. We hail the signings we make one week only to rip them apart a week later after one bad performance.

I know this attitude doesn't count for everyone, but even the staunchest of fans seem to have become arm chair managers. Last week after we lost it seemed pretty unanimous that 3-5-2 was the way to go cause it looked so good, again one performance and Harry's a useless twat who got it wrong. No consistency from our fans, fickle, spoilt and unrealistic.

Whinge over, for now. I just wish people would look at things with a clear head and put some perspective on things instead if panicking after 2 bloody games.

 

I think messageboards are a very poor representation of the general support.

I think the matchgoing fans are some of the most patient in the country. Disaster after disaster we've laughed through and attendances haven't fluctuated a lot as we've drifted between sixth and sixtieth in the football league. We are actually very easily pleased IMO- just want to see a bit of pride in the shirt.

 

spot on, mate!

 

Ned talks about last year - good at the outset then tailing off. The thing is that we were not that good at the outset, but results went in our favour. All through the year we didn't perform that well against teams at the top.

I would prefer we got our bad spell out of the way now. Yesterday will (hopefully) have been a real kick up the Rs. Rather now than in February. With a little time I believe this could turn into a decent team, but they have to learn to play together first ... and learn bloddy quickly!
