Fulham 2 QPR 2 **Match Thread**

[1973 ranger]

Liked the change in system but still did not get Manning starting on right side and Pawel on the left? Thought we made them look quite average once we pressed them high up the pitch. Like Cousins in the middle with Mas as he covers ground and closes down quickly. Holloway needs to look at how he fits Freeman in if at all as do not know how he got motm from Sky!

Ok I will try and translate - Smith and Eze played really well in midweek, 2 games so close is tough, (both for the old man and the young kid). The work required today was slightly different to Tuesday given the different styles of play but how could he drop either? Then, he was spot on that we didn't press in the right areas in the first half, let them have the ball and dropped deep.

He quietly and nicely () pointed these things out at half time and it worked. We defended 20 yards further up the pitch, chased every cause rather than just some and when we had the ball we were far enough advanced to make it worth while. We had two very tight offside calls and on another day we might have got one of those go our way. The lads that came on made a difference too because the way they pressed meant the fools were on the back foot rather than putting us under pressure

Oh, and the last bit, how the fark did we not win it, because we deserved to in the end

Harsh chaps. Smith, Smyth and Bidwell all had easier chances today - Washy had a half chance but was too slow

[1973 ranger]

Smiths was the worst miss of the lot as his poor first touch makes it easy for their keeper to smother the chance.

Really wish he could do the business. Nice fella. But.....

[Joe90]

Really happy with today's result. Ranger's did everything I'd hoped and in the end we really should have won it. Great performance today and a cracking atmosphere in the away end. Fulham fans were awful, no noise and don't get me started on those clapper things...

he should of put his foot right thru it

Inverted wingers. It allows them to cut in on their stronger foot. It's all the rage these days apparently.

He went straight up tunnel when whistle went

And the moan from away end when they announced he was coming on was audible

[1973 ranger]

Stanley. I understand that but cannot recall Manning, Pawel or Freeman doing it while in that position. I would look at Pawel playing as a centre forward from now to the end of the season. He showed willingness and composure with his goal which is something none of our other strikers have.

As opposed to perverted wingers who just molest fullbacks!!

Id of certainly had manning & freeman swapped around, have to say 73 im with youre opinion from a couple of months back of freeman now as i thought he was poor yesterday and even the game against villa, he kept losing the ball, & he should of picked up there man yesterday for one of there goals.
