Before we set off today, many were indicating that teams below us in the league had realised they were in a relegation dogfight and the QPR players had taken the foot off the pedal, somehow believing we were safe from the drop.
After today, make no mistake the players need to realise we need a win and a draw to be safe, any thoughts of a nice summer holiday need to be put on the back burner, the players need to step up to the plate.
The first half today we matched a Leicester city side gunning for the play offs, really not much between us, we played some nice stuff but all players should realise that its okay to play the pretty stuff, but when it comes to gettting stuck in, we are pretty woeful and I am totally disgusted with some of the players, especially in the second half.
Gorkss..Stop ball watching and stay in your postion, you are your former self. Being out muscled and couldn't tackle of a burglar to the floor at the moment
Leigterwood..Stay an extra hour every training this week, pass a ball to a palyer that is 5 foot away, because this basic cretaria of being a midfielder you have forgotten.
Stewart..You have great physical presence, use it. Never seen you barged off the ball, like you have in the last few games.
Hill..You need to grow a few inches
Cook..Okay, not your rightful position, but would like to see you to put in a tackle. Made one good one in the first half, but that was it.
Tarrabt..If things are not going right for you, don;t drop you shoulders and give the impression you don;t give a s.hit. You have great natural ability, incredibly frustrating to watch sometimes, but keep doing the things you are good at.
Hogan..Move and find space , as today you ran like a headless chicken without using your natural ability, you rightfully got the nod over Cook recently but you seem to have gone back into your shell after two poor perfromances
The only player who comes out with any credit in making tackles is Leigterwood, shame he cannot pass a ball to a QPR player. A captain has to lead by example, but if you cannot pass the ball 5 yards you have big problems and today he couldn't. In normal seasons our captain would be close to getting the Player Of The Year. He has much chance of winning, the POTY as I have of getting a call up by Warnock to making the starting 11 for next Saturday's game against Crystal Palace.
Warnock surprisingly dropped Priskin and played Cook on the right wing? I do not know the fascination in playing Cook on the right and playing Hogan on the left. The only time Hogan moved to the right, was when Cook was substiuted!!
Back to the first half, Gorkss got caught for the first goal, though Stewart got outmuscled as well for the goal. The second goal on half time, was an unjustice, as we did not deserve to go in 2-0 down. Ikeme should have just whacked the ball out of play or up field, but passed it almost directly to Martyn Waghorn who only had hit the ball straight into the goal for the 2nd.
If we were unlucky to go in 2-0 down, no excuses can be given for a totally inept second half performance. I am totally bemused why Warnock would put Damion Stewart up front !! He will point to not having a target man, which makes it all the more bemusing why he does not sacrifice a loan player for Bent or play to our strengths and play the ball on the ground. Why the need to kick the ball from goal up 10 miles in the air, is beyond me.
Gorkss is going missing and its a big worry, that one of our major players this season is starting to look vulernable to pace and and anyone who jumps in the air with him, Stewart is not much better, but , with him acting as a striker on the instructions of Warnock, we have major worries and concerns for the remaining games of the season. Fair to say Jay Simpson looks unfit or disinterested, hard to know which. He has been very poor in the last 2 games.
Lets not forget we beat WBA 3-1 at home pretty much with the same set of players and this is not a time to be tinkering or finding new formations! Our defence today looked shaky and rocky and it comes to something if yet again we are saying that Ramage was out best defender. In midfield Legiterwood, who I have backed all season, was woeful. He has trouble with the basic skill of passing, have no problem with him tackling and running back, but he is slowly turning inot a older and mature Marcus Bean.
Two players yet again probably are to good for this team in Faurlin and Tarrabt, though the latter was at fault for the 3rd goal. He tried to walk the ball into the Leicester goal and was easily tackled which led to a quick breakaway and a great finish again cfrom Waghorn. Gorkss was again outjumped by Howard for the 4th goal. Having struggled against a similar player in Parkin against Preston, his all round game is taking a battering. Hill is not totally blameless and the more he plays, I just cannot see the point in bringing in Tosic !!
I am so peed off that so many QPR fans made the effort to spend again, take time out again, leave their families in many cases to see such a woeful performance, especially in the second half. Okay, the players can be apportioned blame and rightly so, but Warnock got this tactically wrong. He has great experience at this level and will come good, but make no mistake we are in big danger at the moment. This team are low on confidence and we are tinkering at the wrong time and not playing to our strengths..
