Warnock signs off with typical smash and grab raid – report

Friday, 4th Dec 2015 18:02 by Clive Whittingham

Neil Warnock’s second spell at QPR came to a close with a last-minute 1-0 win at Reading in a dreary match on Thursday evening.

A late winner, on a wet and windy night in Reading, live on Sky, scored in front of the QPR fans… it was already hard enough to fight off the déjà vu without Neil Warnock coming onto the pitch punching the air to celebrate with the players and supporters.

In truth, this was a long way away from that glorious night when Ale Faurlin made light work of a tricky surface and playing a glorious through ball that allowed Wayne Routledge to streak clear and bury a fine winning goal four seasons ago. Faurlin, revitalised by his old boss, got the assist here as well but the respective quality of the goals summed up the difference between the matches.

"There was also a bizarre moment in the second half when a foul by Faurlin set Reading’s top scorer Nick Blackman up for a free kick from the thick end of 30 yards. He met it sweetly, beating the wall easily, but with the ball flying right down the middle of the goal, directly above Robert Green who had a completely clear view of it, it seemed rather odd for the goalkeeper to stand perfectly still and let it cannon back into play off the face of the crossbar. Green didn’t even lift an arm to it. It was like he didn’t even know it had happened. Perhaps we should start using a ball with a bell in it. Or maybe he thought Blackman’s vision was based on movement, like a t-rex."

It's quite bizarre that in two games where we have not conceded a goal, Green has been our worst player.

Brilliant!
Green is awful at times.

I think that's harsh. Are you basing this on a couple of moments when he's come out of the box and this? What about all the other work he's done?
