Bournemouth Match Thread

Our problem is the same as last season.
A Stat late in the game had Rangers ahead on possession, crosses, and attempts on goal.
But both teams were tied on attempts on target, 2 each.
Our attempts on goal was 19 at the time..
We are always open at the back so unless we take some of those chances we will struggle to win a

As said, it is very similar to last season, including playing Dykes alone up front (Willock is not really a striker and Gray could have at least come on to play alongside the former rather than replace him).

I just wonder how often do they practice shooting in training.

My son often watches Youtubers Billy Wingrove and Jeremy Lynch and their shooting skills. I'm sure that they must use lots of retakes, but the QPR coaches could probably do with using some similar props to set up shooting practice for both set pieces and open play.

Players like Ronaldo, Beckham and Bergkamp to name a few got to the top of their game by practising after normal training had finished. If our players want to reach the Premiership then extra effort will be required.

No idea who those YouTubers are BUT..... think of all the 3' putts a professional golfer misses when they're on back nine hunting down first prize and $1millon. They hole them unerringly on the practice green, could hole them one-handed with their eyes closed probably. Introduce a bit of pressure to perform and they soon buckle don't they?
I reckon it's more about mental strength, self-belief and confidence rather than what you can do poncing about for the cameras or on the training pitch.

Agree stan, we need pairs of strikers imo.
Our loan forwards offer no threat and are pretty much spectators on the pitch

If wallace is back against Bristol City I think we will be fine.
