    Leeds v Qpr | Match Thread

    Well if tonight is a taster when we get routed by at best a mid table side let's see what leeds do. I think we will park the bus and hope for a 0-0 but it could ve a cricket score. I really salute anyone going there.

    They battered Plymouth on Saturday 3-0 with 23 shots on goal. Plymouth had zero attempts so I presume they "parked the bus"? Leeds play with pace and energy so we are pretty much stuffed you'd think.

    But, football doesn't work like that and maybe some of our development players like Bennie, Kolli, EDB and Lloyd will step up. Maybe our 1st team will finally wake up and stop strolling through games and play with some zip?

    I've got a ticket, it says "restricted view" on it (I believe they all say that cos of stansions). Lets be frank, we were similarly apprehensive before game at Burnley but I quite enjoyed that trip - I therefore feel quite sanguine about Saturday too.

        The trouble is that 0-0 draws are not good enough to keep us up and most if not all the younger players you mention are league two standard at best. I do agree with you about our first team strolling through games with no zip

          I broadly agree, but from the perspective of going into international break and I'll be at the game, I think for this Saturday, a 0-0 would be okay and clearly preferable to an embarrassing walloping. To be honest, if I got offered 0-0 now I'd bite your hand off! Ultimately, we're not in the do-do cos of games with Leeds and Burnley... it's the results with Pompey, Millwall, Plymouth etc that are killing our season.

            It's Ok to have a damage limitation strategy against a team like them, but we've got to start getting points on board.

            If we have the mindset that one point is all we'll get, wouldn't it be better to try out something more adventurous? We might lose, but we might find something we can use against the poorer sides where we might stand a chance of 3 points.

              Good post
              Yes Leeds are a decent side and play a high tempo attacking style but i personally don't want to see QPR playing with 10 men behind the ball , having 2 shots all game and facing 22 shots from Leeds and gaining a 0-0 draw , that is'nt the style that made me a supporter in the 70's . I would rather we play football and try to win the game. Like others have said we are'nt expected to beat teams like Leeds but we need to start playing with a pattern that will gain us results against the lesser sides.

                Knowing QPR we’ll go get a point at Leeds and then get pumped 0-5 at home to Stoke after the international break

                  To avoid duplications I have made this the match thread.
