Mr Popodopolous Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Good win- albeit away to a very poor side who seem to have badly regressed on last season. However Weimann is doing great, very happy for Taylor getting a goal there, of course winning at a ground we haven't gone to and win at since 1970 odd has to be a bit alright? Still much to do, much to improve on- but this will undoubtedly boost confidence. The team and LJ did what was necessary, at a time like this especially. They made sure we found a way to win.

But the reaction to 3 games (of which we lost 1, to one of the division's true heavyweights) has been so enormously over the top. I think it was the lack of presence in either box in all three games that was worrying and against boro it was embarrassing. Having watched that tonight , I’m obviously very please with the win but let’s be honest. QPR are terrible but could of easily been 2 up early on. The lack of any plan from us was worrying. Lumping it up to two small strikers seemed a strange decision . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstart Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Didn't think QPR were any worse than Bolton were last year - yet we beat QPR with key players missing for us tonight and remember we lost to Bolton when we had a strong team. Grinding out these wins will make a hell of a difference to where we finish this year - great 3 points tonight. COYR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a new squad and we all know that when several new signings arrive it can take several games for the real style of play to develop. We are just four games in and it’s way too early to be making assessments until we are at least 10 - 12 games in. To me it’s a case so far so good. Like I said, I expect the selections to be sensible and I expect us to have a style of play and a game plan. Over the course of the season I expect us to improve a bit on the last one results wise. We keep hearing about how scientific our recruitment is and how we're selecting players from databases to fit the style we already want to play so no, I don't think it's ok for us to not be recognisable from last time and it is concerning that the style doesn't look like arriving of it's own accord after some magical mythical gelling time. I'm not jumping to any conclusions yet but anybody happy with the season so far isn't paying proper attention. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 6 minutes ago, Alessandro said: Which ones are we talking about - because I can think of two really all game? One in the first half when ?Washington? picked it up left side of the box, cut in and the Maaenpaa saved. One in the second half when Maaenpaa had the rush of blood, forward probably took an unneeded extra touch and 2 defenders got back well to cover. I'm surprised how many people expect us to go away from home, completely dominate the game and not concede chances in a game of football? The bottom line is a '0' in the goals conceded column and I think we deserved that, just. In the first half we backed off far too much not tackling, that changed in the 2nd half and resulted in the one gift of a chance that you mention. In the first because of our backing off tactic QPR had 4 shots on goal from inside the area and 4 from the edge of the area, our first goal could not have come at a better time, it literally killed the game. It was a much needed win but up until our goal we rode our luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Got to enjoy the win but long way to go. Let’s be honest we will probably get beaten Saturday and then the knives will be out again. First goal was important - luckily they were a shambles at the back. And remember it should have been 2-1 but for them missing an open goal. Weimann looks good and Kelly looks better and better with each game. Maenpaa looked assured with crosses but made a horrible error that we got away with. I’m still not sold on Hunt, Webster or Watkins. And clearly Pisano isn’t a centre back or left back. The good news is that once Bailey Fammy and Baker come back it should improve but Korey will be a big miss. Hoping for at least 2 loan signings.

My point is that our record over the last few years against them means absolutely nothing in respect of the gulf - nay, chasm - of class between the respective playing squads. You’re talking about a team where pretty much every single first teamer walks into ours. A team who’s front two cost what we spend in 2 or 3 windows let alone on 2 or 3 players. They are a very very strong side and have inflicted our only defeat of the season. I stand firmly behind my statement that the reaction to the opening 3 games has been ludicrously over the top. Am I saying we’re a great team? Absolutely not. I think we look every bit a mid table side. But as a mid table wage payer, with a mid table squad and a mid table manager that’s pretty much in line with my expectations!

samo II Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 We were very poor first half, and that goal basically saved us.

Jerseybean Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 43 minutes ago, cityexile said: It’s odd that in some ways football wise I think that was our worst effort so far today. We seemed to change our style entirely and up to the first goal the game was tragic. If Fammy is out at all, we have to have a Plan B up front. QPR created more chances than a clean sheet warrants, but the mood would have been toxic if we had lost. Buys us a bit of time, which we certainly need! I agree, while being delighted that we registered a 3-0 away win, it was a shocking game of football. Both teams were poor and if QPR had anything about them they would have scored at least once and probably more. We lacked any style or composure, too often lofting a hopeful ball into the air rather than playing much football on the ground. Suspect any neutral would likely have given up watching long before the final whistle! A night when the result was far better than the performance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 12 minutes ago, Jerseybean said: I agree, while being delighted that we registered a 3-0 away win, it was a shocking game of football. Both teams were poor and if QPR had anything about them they would have scored at least once and probably more. We lacked any style or composure, too often lofting a hopeful ball into the air rather than playing much football on the ground.

It was Plan B - knock it into the wide channels instead of heavy possession percentage. Ugly but ultimately it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there and thoroughly enjoyed it after number of games I’ve seen down there without a win. Kids got a photo with Joe Bryan who was also there supporting the team, so good night all round! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case I've missed something these past 50 odd years the first question a fan asks is how did we get on, not how did we play? We won. We kept a clean sheet. We had a few brighter performances, Kelly for the second game running. We've still major problems but tonight, when it mattered, WeeLee reverted to tactics suited to the limited ability players at our disposal. Long may he continue to do so if it brings results. Cardiff finished bottom of the Championship ratings on every single positive passing and possession stat last year. Didn't see their fans complaining too much about their performances though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oggysouthwest Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 when we were 2 nil up, should of brought on Eisa and Dasilva, give them a chance to show what they can do., but as per normal johnson dont make changes till last 10 minutes,, brings on Eisa on 90th minute, could of rested couple of players, can never understand johnson, he needs to try these players out. i did not think we played that well. QPR were really weak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPR were really weak 2-0 in a dangerous score line and with a new and unfamiliar back line I’m sure LJ didn’t want to risk conceding. QPR were piss poor, as they were last season at AG under Holloway but you can only beat what’s in front of you. Swansea will be a much tougher challenge on Saturday.
