The reaction from the fans in general to this game is very unfair on both certain players and manager. We’ve played four games and arguably been the better team for 80% of the minutes we’ve played, we’ve just lacked that edge and experience in front of goal to get our just-rewards.
I can’t help but think the removal of Apter in these games is a ploy to get a budget increase to secure another option before the deadline on Monday.
Campbell’s inexperience at the level is telling, especially in his final decision making, gets himself into great spots, but that knack to go down with a nudge in the back or getting off a shot earlier etc could be the difference between bang and bust for all 3 points.
Overall, we look good on and off the ball, a bit sloppy to start the game today, but we were the team that looked like we’d get the three points in my opinion. Of course 4/12 points is tough to take but it could’ve easily been us with 9/12 points going into the break. Definitely not all doom and gloom.
He won the ball for the second right? If TC just falls over it’s a foul… some really worrying things heard from the away end… really close to crossing the line from where I was… always has to be one or two idiots. Not getting anything off officials currently
Agree Callum. I wasn’t at the game today but any dissatisfaction shown to players is just irrational in my opinion. Losing always hurts, it doesn’t need the abuse to the team, take the frustration out in a debate with a mate or something.
Could’ve easily been 3 points today, it makes it harder to take after the loss last week when we deserved the 3 points.
Of course it was just a few idiots… criticism is ok, I criticise all the time! But man some of the stuff about his hair and different things was really quite inappropriate, it really came close to crossing the line.
Hearing people talking about dropping kaminsky for Mannion.. which is utterly laughable to me, but football is subjective. Amazingly no one wants to change jones or Ramsey who looked like Sunday leaguers after a night out this afternoon. Both are excellent players but were awful today as was Josh Edwards.
Unfortunately the joys of football. Many fickle fans who are happy to criticise irrationally and then turn into the players cheerleaders when it’s going well for them. I can’t imagine how players/clubs deal with stuff like that. Not sure how they’d find motivation to play for fans when they get that abuse, I guess they play for the manager/team-mates aswell their own careers, but yeah, it’s classless and does nobody any help.
Firstly, really grateful to you, Rich, for all the work you do. I’m sure my good mate Kevin Nolan would be proud of what you’re doing. 🙏🏻
I have been fortunate to be at all the games so far and in my humble opinion, we always seem to start slowly, then when we get to grips with it, get opportunities to score and just can’t make them count. As with any league, if you don’t take advantage, it can be difficult. In the Championship it is vital. Hopefully Matty Godden will soon be fit. He is someone that can find space and can be clinical. That is what we miss.

Yeah, fair few players had off days at QPR.

Thanks very much for the kind words!
Godden being back and able to play minutes would be a major plus after the international break.
