Match Day Thread QPR vs Nottingham Forest

[ELLERS]

I actually think I'm becoming embarrassed for him. He is a nice guy but just so basic and tactically inept.

The first time around I liked Hollow. The club/supporters seemed united due to our predicament. It was a blast! but the longer he stayed and after we got promoted his limitations were evident. I was glad when we got rid.

This time has been a disaster from day one. He is even more inept than before and now a stubbornness has taken over. We were told that the team were all behind him, yet it is evident that they are not. He is just turning fans like me away. The bloke is f22king clueless and I hope he goes so I can come back and watch my team that isn't managed by a fraud.

Shameful.

Shameful.

by the way what is the real film?

I thought Scowen was poor again Saturday. He was off the pace of the game, his passing was bad sending the ball to the opposition in very dangerous areas, and he provided little protection to the back 3 which is his job - the other 2 in central midfield did at least create some chances and Luongo's many runs into their box got us a goal.

I thought Pav was our best player, really working up and down the right, defended well especially early and with Freeman created most of our chances with his link play and crosses into their box. Eze looked good again.

True, Pav played well and got forward for some good crossed and passes.

However the team too often lost the ball and then he was out if position for the very fast counter attack long balls which were often played down the channel.

During the first goal he was stranded by the oppositions corner flag.

No doubt there will be a defensive focus drilled in this week resulting in Pav being more defensive for the next matches.

Clive Whittingham's match report ...

QPR suffer horrible déjà vu as Forest run riot again - Report

Monday, 26th Feb 2018 09:46 by Clive Whittingham

QPR were thrashed by Nottingham Forest for the second time this season on Saturday afternoon, losing 5-2 at Loftus Road to go with the 4-0 loss at the City Ground in November.

‘Revenge’ was the watchword in the pre-match build up to this one, as Queens Park Rangers eyed a chance to pay back Nottingham Forest for a 4-0 defeat inflicted at the City Ground in November – a result which derailed a promising start to QPR’s season and set the tone for a difficult winter from which Rangers are yet to emerge. Win here, banish that ghost, and with winnable home games to come between now and May a reasonable end to the campaign could possibly still be salvaged.

Well, lol, as the kids say. Far from avenging anything, Rangers actually doubled down on their earlier humiliation, this time shipping five goals on their own patch to a Forest side which sat below them in the table at the start of play, arrived at Loftus Road without a win in six games, and had only scored three times in their previous eight matches. This was an absolutely appalling performance from Ian Holloway’s side, and a richly deserved thrashing. Forest made to look like Arsenal’s Invincibles of 2002, QPR more like the Disney Pixar version.

3. When I came to @qpr everyone talked about a poor academy . We are now producing players on a regular basis. We are close to our academy. Buts it’s not bricks and mortars it’s about having the right people and that we have.

I understand your views Ellers, and agree about our management team, but that is distasteful in my humble opinion. I hope that Holloway is able to leave with some form of respect if that is the way it all goes at the end of the season.

Sorry, am I missing something? It is a poster that has been all over social media and I re-posted it. It just says clueless how is it disrespectful? My own views are far worse.

 

[SW Ranger]

Not really wanting to get in a OP debate really. You re-posted it, so it was your choice. I wouldn’t have, so it was only my humble opinion.
As far as your own opinions on the management team, as you know I tend to agree with most of them Ellers.

Football is crazy
We cannot play against Forest who were set up strange themselves
The two styles don’t mix and Forest have us sussed
They will be well beaten by others imo yet we may go on and beat Villa
Who knows we are all clueless

Forest had way too much space to play in but their finishing was excellent.

QPR suffer horrible déjà vu as Forest run riot again - Report

QPR were thrashed by Nottingham Forest for the second time this season ........

Clive is so right. I wish Ollie would read this report. Clive strikes me as knowing more than Ollie, though I'm sure neither of them would agree with me on that. I'm not one for calling for managers to be sacked and can't recall ever having done so but this sort of performance is depressing. Of course, my mates know I support QPR and getting beaten by Nottingham Forest who hadn't won in six games, who had only scored 3 in 8 and to whom QPR have gifted 9 goals in their total of 41 for the entire season, is the very definition of embarrassing. Any team that can't score, any team that can't win, come along to Loftus Road and play the team that just keeps on giving....

The season is far from over, we have some difficult games coming up and I am not confident that we will avoid dropping into League 1. If that happens, my 5.5 hour round trip to Loftus Road may become a thing of the past. Certainly, I'm going to start weaning myself off the habit by skipping the Derby game.
