Watching from it now, decent quality.

We're not though, under the pump. Field maximum effort to keep that out. Lacking any clinical passing or movement anywhere on the pitch at the moment

Armstrong looks tired, Smyth our most lively player.

[Sleeping Giants]

Jay Stansfield is a quality player, I wish we'd been in for him.

[Fraggy]

Field getting a yellow.

Field getting a yellow.

Good ref so far

[Fraggy]

We need to come out on the front foot in the second half.

Can't keep going with this last ditch defending from inside the 6 yard box and not concede.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Hard work watching this !!!

C Grade first half.

Can't fault our hustle off the ball and we are holding our shape well, closing down quickly.

In possession our movement needs something, players running toward the ball, no runs being made to make space, needed if we are going to play this way.

Dead ball delivery as bad as it's ever been.

Chair very quiet, but he has been all season. Smyth always trying to make something happen. Dykes needs to drop deep to get the ball and try to support Sinclair, tough gig. Full backs too busy in defence to be effective going forward.

Paal all over the shop against Stansfield he looks a prospect. Can't fault our effort but we lack creativity

Chair neither helping Paal or forwards. Final ball is pi$$ poor

As for watching it with this stadium a building site dunno if its me but its hard to pick Rs players out on the construction side

[Abseits]

Very cagey but quite satisfactory thus far.

[Sleeping Giants]

Great save from Begovic

[Sleeping Giants]

Great save from Ruddy

[222lepo]

We are falling to deep back.....cant string 2-3 passes togther. Now Adomah on .

[topperharley]

Why has our most 'effective' player been taken off?

I would've had Dozzell off personally, or Chair for Willock like for like.

[Macca]

Don't understand that substitution.
