Plainly our inability to create chances is the main problem, but I certainly didn't think we were outplayed by Villa. Apparently Chery has created 60-odd chances this season, but I can't recall many in recent games. I heard that Bidwell apologised to the team at half-time for his poor crossing - I hope Chery did too.

Chery's form has slumped recently - there were some shocking examples yesterday, but we know what he's capable of.

We may be pushing the ball around a bit better under Holloway, but there's no threat in front of goal, no creativity to do something special to break through, no real plan for the offensive. Holloway is saying he just wants a goal and doesn't care if it comes off someone's ear. It suggests he's leaving it to chance rather than training in specific moves. That seems to be what we're lacking, adding to the problem that we have a striker, Washington, who works hard but has little quality and rarely hits the back of the net.
 
Get someone else in to score some goals or we're going down. Teams know they only have to score one goal against us and they'll win.
We should look to tempt one of the Premier relegation threatended teams with Sandro and use the money to get an out of favour but named striker.
 
I would not be surprise (and rather pleased) if we get a new striker in the January window.

Haha this is brilliant - "tempt them?" I reckon it's more likely we'd have to pay them to take the useless, unfit, sick-note off our hands... I am genuinely tickled by this... apologies... I'm not looking to start a flame war, but it just goes to show how differently we all see the game...
 
That was a load of **** and I wished I hadn't bothered going. No attempts on target in a home game! No goals in four! No quality on the pitch! I haven't felt this angry after a game for a while. I couldn't even go for a pint with my mates after as I couldn't bear to even try and discuss that R's performance.

I thought we were impotent last season and that it couldn't get any worse. Silly me.

Am I better off staying away 9s?
 
I think it's almost certain we will bring in two or three players on loan, TF is unlikely to splash the cash in January so it is more sensible and less costly to go down that route. Whoever comes in will have to be substantially better than what we have or it's curtains for Ollie...
 
Is it time for Chery to sit out a game or two? Can't see what he's offering at the moment and his set pieces are worse than Barton's. On reflection I still think our overall performance was OK yesterday but we do look toothless, if only you could gum teams into submission.

As long as he doesn't pull this sort of stunt again:-

Tjarron Chery apologises to QPR faithful after strop during derby defeat by Fulham
  • Queens Park Rangers lost 4-0 to Fulham at Craven Cottage on Friday night
  • Tjaronn Chery headed straight to the dressing room after being substituted
  • Chery has apologised to his team-mates, the manager and the club's fans
By Simon Peach, Press Association Sport

Tjaronn Chery has apologised to QPR manager Chris Ramsey, his team-mates and the fans for his petulant display in the derby defeat by Fulham.

Friday's encounter in west London ended in a comprehensive 4-0 win for the hosts at Craven Cottage, with summer signing Chery hauled off when the Rs were three behind after 35 minutes.

It was a decision that Chery did not take well and he headed straight to the dressing room after his substitution - behaviour the Dutch attacking midfielder knows was unacceptable.

Tjaronn Chery has apologised to his QPR team-mates and fans for his petulant display in the defeat by Fulham

'I want to say sorry for this,' he told the club's official website. 'My reaction was not good.

'I shouldn't have done this and I want to apologise to the manager and my team- mates for this, and the supporters also.

'I was frustrated to come off after 30 minutes but I should not have left the pitch, and I will not do this again. I have spoken with the manager about this and everything is fine now.

'It was not something I did against the manager or against my team-mates, it was a little bit of frustration with the game and to be taken off.'

Am I better off staying away 9s?

Yes. Stay away, there's nothing to see here. It's hard enough dragging myself the 14 miles that I do to get angry and frustrated let alone travel from the emerald isle.
 
I was at a party this evening and my mate Steve who sits in Ellerslie Road W block ( or thereabouts) said that there's a bloke who sits behind him and has a booming voice. He often shouts/encourages the players and has done so all season. In the last few games he has taken his ire out on Nedum Onuoha and his captaincy. From what I gathered some of these booming requests were ...

''Nedum we can't hear you.''

''Nedum show some leadership.'' etc

He also calls out the other players if he feels that they aren't putting a shift in. Perch and Ngbakoto were two other recipients today and whoever else happens to be playing on that side of the pitch when they're not.

At the end of today's game Onuoha went over and asked who was the person who keeps shouting? My mate turns around and said to the bloke I think he means you mate. This bloke who has a walking stick went down to speak to Nedum.

Nedum grabbed his hands and said to him ... ''Can you stop shouting at us you're not helping the team.''

The conversation was more prolonged and I'm not sure what else was said but the sentence above would've been the main gist of it I'd imagine.

Weird or what?


It looks like the bloke who Nedum confronted after the game was Paul Moore also known as 'The Wig' who has followed the Rangers for years.
