On my way home | QPR 0 WBA 2

[QPRFCJIM]

They were by far the better team, and in Ferguson had the best player on the pitch.
That boy handled everything we had.
Our mf was totally outplayed/bullied.
We barely got any possession, they strangled us.
Men v Boys.
Let's hope our other opponents don't have the players to do what they did to us

And yet we still could have realistically drawn playing fairly poorly, we're gonna be alright this season - top 10.

Other teams don't, fortunately.
I would be surprised if they aren't automatically promoted.

It was his mistake that gave them the lead, but I was blaming the defence and midfield that just backed off and gave him a free shot at goal (I said to the fan i was sitting next to that he was going to shoot and he did). However, Lumley made a number of good saves to keep the score down. Yes. his distribution is poor, but why do they keep playing the ball back to him?

But let's not just blame Lumley because the whole team except perhaps Chair and Leistner, had awful games from the off.

Eze had what looked to be a good chance to run at goal and shoot just before half time but messed it up.

Kane misplaced so many passes, hardly got a cross into the box and on a number of occasions had the ball in open spaces and failed to take on the full back ( I thought after seeeing his cameo appearance in the opening game that he had pace to burn, so where was it today)?

Hugill and Wells failed to get into positions to score or make runs to stretch the WBA defence, never mind get an attempt on target.

Manning too, struggled to do anything useful in attack.
Cameron was poor, as was Barbet for much of the game.

Ball didn't do too well either.

I thought BOS should have replaced Kane, and I would have put him on the left instead to put some pressure on Furlong.

I do agree that the officials had a poor game too and seemed to let some fouls go against QPR whilst perhaps giving too many to WBA and might also have missed a few offsides.

All in all though, I think the better team won. It may be that QPR had a poor game, but also perhaps credit to WBA for closing QPR down better and in general bossing the game - I did sort of expect that given the squad they have, but that's not to say QPR should have made it so easy for them.

agree - everyone was off their game today - apart from Chair and Leistner as you say - WBA had done their homework on us an gave us absolutely no time the ball and we panicked - so many miss placed passes. we never had any rhythm for the whole game

[stanistheman]

absolutely i have been to every game this season and that was completely lumley's fault no keeper is going to go through the season mistake free....Frances world cup winning goalkeeper seems to be making them on a regular basis ..allison for liverpool ...the sheff utd keeper today ...it is a hazard of the job....but it appears that many on here have written him off ...so lets get kelly in let him #### up then get deing in ...and so on and so on

Allison has been injured since the opening day?

[stanistheman]

Stil can’t see that - was at the game and don’t see it as a Lumley mistake watched it back and he was left woefully exposed by a non existent left side

his 6 other saves seem to be ignored

Didn't think there was that much between the two teams except they had a bit more snap, precision and accuracy to their play. Too many of our passes were inches/feet off where they needed to be and consequently the receiving player needed an extra second to control the ball or needed to check their run and our possession then lacked crispness/incision.
Their first goal was ludicrous to concede, that's the sort of goal that makes me look down the bottom of the table to check what sort of gap we have..... A complete failure on behalf of half our players to let their left back amble 60 yds and have a pot-shot which Lumley should have scooped up with no trouble whatsoever.

we are only 3 points off the top!

Nah sorry mate. All keepers make mistakes, it's the regularity that Lumley has been making them that will probably lead to him getting dropped for a spell.

guess we need to agree to disagree- if lumley should be dropped for his performances then so should Barbet ..oh and hugill hasn't scored for a few games either missing 3 absolute sitters along the way ..so lets drop him as well while we are at it

Was you at the Luton game ? Who’s fault was that ?

Sorry chap, that is utter guff.

Yeh we should've done more as a team to close the bloke down, but you can't go a whole game without the opposition getting within 30 yards of your goalkeeper - are you mad?

We were in a decent position, defence in place and the bloke should have to hit a worldy from there to beat a top keeper. It was nowhere near a top class shot, and any keeper worth their salt saves that easily.

i guess we have to disagree. defence were not in place they were back peddling like crazy

[bakes8]

why can't you acknowledge the long list of mistakes that led to the player being in the position to make the shot in the first place?

no one is slating - Wells for letting him brush pass him , Kane for not closing him down - eze for being nowhere- cameron for running backwards waving his hands- but hey
