Match Day Thread QPR v Forest

Green's head seems to be in a bad place after his transfer was turned down on the last day of the window. Unnecessary and sloppy play

 

I like Hall, should have started with him. Sandro and Fer and Ale to come back in should improve the link up play between midfield and attack

 

Thanks Rob Green, although overall the team performance was well-below par that result is pretty much down to your now very well-rehearsed Clownish ineptitude.

Oh well.

Onwards and upwards you rrrrrrr'ssssssssss

 

Ned can't pass and Green can't kick, otherwise we looked boring and capable of winning 1-0, shame we did it again.

 

Well that's that, got to blame Green for this we were under no pressure at one up.

 

Well on the bright side Everton just went 3-1 up against Chelsea.

 

Well, that's bought us all back down to earth after all the optimism after transfer window.

 

Like at Wolves you mean. Swings and Roundabouts.

 

That's a very quick assessment - are you reporting directly from the match?

 

We are gonna lose a few during the season, its the manner of the defeat that pisses me off.

 

oh well never mind. this is why the Champs is such a good league. anyone can beat anyone!
lets look forward to Blackburn.

 

With Smithies in goal, I'm not at all impressed by him.

 

of course. we won't win every game. at least we lost with ten men though. it could have been more dire had we had a full team out there and still lost.

 

Are they all minus figures! That makes green the top rated player!

 

hard to tell killy after half a half today. best give him more time.

 

It's a disappointing result but we were poor for 70% of the match. Forest were pressing us and quicker to the ball in the first half. We spent too much time standing off in the 10 yards outside or box which was inviting them to shoot. Basically, Freedman got his game plan spot-on and responded to changes much better than Ramsey did.

Even down to 10 men we should have been more compact and right in their faces every ball, a 1-1 would have been a bonus considering our overall play but we couldn't even re-organise to see the game out.

Ramsey needs to seriously consider bringing in a loan striker to complement Charlie as he is struggling as a single striker the way we're playing...

 

That was pretty dire. We got rid of the wrong Keeper. Only one of the new players who I thought did well enough today was Konchesky.

 

My mate used to be the GK for Huddersfield and is still very associated with them. When we signed Smithies he said he would be worth a few points this season...................to the opposition.

 

Ramsey's decision making under pressure was poor. Luongo should never have come off. Toszer or Henry instead.

Then JET on instead of Gladwin

Reason we never got going is down to Toszer and Henry.

If Henry never wears a QPR shirt again i'll be a happy man. He handicaps the team. Sick of him. He limits us from the off. In that position he should have more touches than any man on the pitch. But he is a coward and a passenger

 

We need a super sub on our bench too.

Everton 3-1 Chelsea

Naismith's in good company

Wondering who the other players are to have scored a hat-trick in the Premier League after coming on as a sub? Wonder no more - they are Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (v Forest), Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink (v Wolves), Robert Earnshaw (v Charlton), Emmanuel Adebayor (v Derby) and Romelu Lukaku (v Man Utd).

Is it just me, or is Earnshaw in an answer to every football trivia question ever?

Everton 3-1 Chelsea
Steven Naismith (hat-trick) 82 mins

Steven Naismith could not have imagined this ending in his wildest dreams. He started on the bench and now he'll walk down the tunnel at the end of the game with the matchball tucked under his arm. His treble is complete when he is played in by Ross Barkley and slides the ball past Asmir Begovic from an acute angle.

Got him in your fantasy football team? Ka-ching.
