Portsmouth v QPR | Match Thread

[WeAreQPR12]

I just think it's good to back a manager that clearly is talented and not want him sacked. Tops and abs were all for us sacking Marti which would have been a disasterous move. Just seeing the derby fans walking out when Millwall got given a penalty and then walking back in the ground when they missed. Muggy fans and attitude similar to how Topps and abs present themselves.

That was a hard watch !!

Bladdy hell- that was shocking. It's that perennial problem we have of coming down to the level of our opponents it seems...

Portsmouth are clearly an awful team but we have allowed them to "set the tone" instead of taking the iniative ourselves.

Varane's got to come off, he can't cope with these bitty low-quality games and keeps giving the ball away and making dumb fouls in stupid unnecessary areas. Frey on a booking and wandering offside too much probably needs hooking sooner rather than later.

Only positive is I reckon thats as good as Pompey get so if we pull our finger out in 2nd half we should be able to score a couple... I wonder if Marti can do a frothing at the mouth pep talk, it feels like we need it....

Queue people complaining about playing it around at the back.

It really just been in sloppy mode again

Make some substitutions now!!

[Abseits]

Jeez! I can't remember such a collective shambles - we have no player who deserves more than 4/10 at the mo'.

[Darkranger]

Jimmy Dunne10/10.

Portsmouth just tough and workmanlike. We have made them look more than that. Not out if this yet but we should be. Something lacking in the way we approach games, particularly the early part. I feel we have much better players than Portsmouth so I am confused we often don't make that count

[Qpstranger]

7 mins IT - can we nick a point?

[Sleeping Giants]

Same old QPR, can stand toe to toe with the best in league but drop 6 points to Portsmouth. We struggle against poor teams for some reason. Maybe because they are more defensive minded but we really need to learn how to play the weaker teams.

[LoftusRoadLad]

No bottle today.

[daveshads]

Nah, didn't deserve to really. Sometimes we look so dumb. We don't seem to be able to solve the riddle of playing teams like Portsmouth. Seemed like the Millwall, Plymouth games today all over again and probably many others. Of course, Marti has worked wonders but he has not solved 3 things for me...
1) How to start games fast and well,
2) A clear and definite plan B and
3) How to play tough, talentless teams.

I rest my case. Onwards......

Gonna take that loss out on Sheff U
