In fairness we have always been rubbish at closing out matches. How many nerve-wracking final few minutes have we all sat thru over the yrs at Loftus Rd?

Keep the ball, slow tempo and play down the sides or if you have to go long, put it out for a throw. We as fans will take care of the ball for 10 or 20 seconds for the team to push up and box them in but no....
All we do is show naivety and try being clever, take players on or lump it straight to the keeper, while not moving a yard up the pitch.
Don't be embarrassed to run in the corner, yet it seems we are!

The lack of confidence on the ball is one of the reasons that we give it away so often. This leads to increased pressure on our defence.
Personally, I think our back four and Green have done remarkably well considering the pressure that they have had to deal with. In the game today we allowed Swansea 25 shots at goal. We were lucky that Bony wasn't on the pitch from the start. Most teams would punish us for that. All the talk of late substitutions and tactics etc. are all well and good but don't really address what is a fundamental problem for us IMO.

I also take issue with you suggesting people on here don't care about the club. We may all bicker when things go wrong with some being positive and some being negative and that is natural, but please never question Anyone on here's commitment to the club.
