QPR vs Saints - Wednesday 1945

[Lighthouse]

Well f*ck me, here we go again. I reckon we’d probably lose to a team of actual park rangers from Sandringham Estate, so not holding out much hope of anything.

[saintant]

3 centre backs anybody?

[Saint NL]

Lallanas lions will roar on to victory. 

 

[Turkish]

I got a feeling this is when our season starts. Damion Downs WILL score 

[Toadhall Saint]

Must we? It’s soooo fucking tiring 

[LGTL]

Can we have Downs as manager and Still as Striker? I genuinely don’t believe we would be any worse off. 

[ErwinK1961]

If Still is gone for this one, then wouldn’t be surprised to see an upturn in effort - but we’ll still lose.

[Dr Who?]

No, I cannot be arsed. This is the lowest I have felt since losing 0-2 at home to Rochdale in League One. The away game was not much better, but at least we got a point and we were heading upwards.

We are doomed! Rat boy has less about him than passionless Still 

[Osvaldorama]

I think even a Sunday league team could beat us currently. 
 

So QPR will cope with us very easily. 2-0 home win. 

[miltonroad]

Edwards will be incentivised for this one and may actually complete a pass or win a header. Useless twat. It’s a low bar for our defenders but a hair band doesn’t exonerate absolute dross. 

[Football Special]

Best bet of a result is if our fans spend 90 mins breaking off the seats and lobbing them on the pitch to get the game abandoned 

[sfc4prem]

Bring a load of lettuces and lob them on the pitch as it tips down with rain. The soaked lettuces would blend in nicely with our bunch and might stand a better chance of preventing the other team from scoring

[Saint NL]

Did everyone see the Norwich protest earlier today, at a certain time in the game (19:05 or something) they were supposed to throw tennis balls onto the pitch as protest.

Four balls were thrown. 

Surely we can do better than that

Who remembers Ajax' tribute to Stefan Postma a few years back? (I'm NOT suggesting we do it.)

 

[AlexLaw76]

I fully expect 3/5 at the back, fully expect a 30-ish min purple patch, fully expect to be wide open in the middle of the park, and fully expect a non-style of play other than hope Scienza can produce a it of magic

 

Surely...SURELY Still will not be manager...if by some strange situation he is, surely he will play HIS system that he apparently prefers?

 

Their manager came from Ligue 1 also this summer....

Even though there wasn't a massive improvement we did look better today when Robinson and Fellows came on. Thought they both made some sort of difference.

What today showed yet again is that Adam Armstrong is absolutely pathetic upfront. A total non entity.

but we just do not play to his strength. Slow getting the ball forward, if we do not lump it up there.

There was a free kick taken by our defenders in the 2nd half. It was lumped up to Armstrong...when he had a CB tight on him, and another attacking the ball.

Even in the 2nd half when we were spending my time in their half, it was still lots of sideways passing which allowed them to set 2 lines of a 5 and a 4....No wonder we never look like scoring outside of a moment of individual brilliance or a defensive howler.

Tennis anyone for QPR, Charlton, Millwall. 

[Willo of Whiteley]

Four CBs just to be sure.

[die Mannyschaft]

QPR 3-0 Saints. Until Saints change the tactics to basic football its a loss each game.

XG 0.79

Passes 483

Shots 7

Shots on target 2

Corners 4 all wasted by stupid short pass.

I'd say our fanbase is actually very similar to Norwich,  talk a good game and like to moan about our circumstances but actually soft as shite when it comes to actually doing anything about it

Please stop criticising Armstrong, I very much doubt even he rates himself in that role , always done well alongside a more physically capable forward who can hold the ball up, make space and bring others into play, Armstrong on his own is destined to fail (as is Archer) we all knew that before the season started so surely the decision makers did within the club (don't @ me with Loch Ness Cripple and Downs )

Asked my QPR mate for his thoughts. He said they weren't great today with heavy home defeat but have shown some decent stuff recently and expect at least a point against us....

Teams are genuinely pleased to be facing us at the moment, "at least we only have Southampton on Wednesday" 

That's where we are. 

More than covered my expenses today backing Preston at 4/1 , will.have to check out QPR odds 

Shame on Sports Republic
