      Disagree 73. The problem yesterday was the system and how Ollie set the team up, not so much the players. The reason Freeman was nullified was because when he had the ball he had no outlet for it due to the total lack of width in the team and because of the totally ineffective Mackie in front of him. Therefore Freeman, as the only creative outlet in the team, probably felt under more pressure to retain the ball for longer in order to try and create something alone.

      The person most to blame yesterday was the manager for being completely out-manoeuvred by Bruce. Yes, technically they have better players, but on a tactical level we hadn't the game to them on a plate, thereby making it one hell of a lot easier for them.

      how long is he going to carry on with this 352 farce..... playing midfielders, fullbacks and wingers as wingbacks.

      he signed for wingers in the summer transfer window, and along with a polish international, but yet he plays a system with no wingers.

      if you want to keep the three midfielders in the team then play 451.

      otherwise play 442 with woslek on the right and wheeler or lualua on the left.

      To be perfectly honest mate I can totally understand why he elected to not pass it to Mackie, knowing how likely the chance would have been wasted. If it had been Sylla or even Conor I bet he'd have made the pass.

      I agree though that Freeman was below par yesterday but saying that, so was the entire team - which again comes back to the manager for getting tactically outclassed by Bruce, who saw us over-running his team for the first half hour, so he changed it and the game was theirs from that point onwards because Ollie had zero plan B.
      I've got to agree with your assumption the pass was declined to Mackie as he's a waste of space. I said to my mate early in the game the players seemed not to have any faith in Mackie's selection and wondered if they thought Sylla would have been a better option. Whatever, how uninspiring an attack of Mackie/Smith was. I bet Bruce told his defence to have the afternoon off

      Worry not, Olly will get to hear our advice at some point and the formation will change, he knows we’re right.

    MARK Warburton says that his QPR squad will be fit and firing for Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship clash away at promotion favourites Leeds United.

    The R’s suffered their first defeat in four games on Monday night, losing out to Brentford in W12, but the boss insists that there will be no sign of a hangover when they walk out at Elland Road.

    “It’s a demanding league; the games come thick and fast so you can’t be sitting there and feeling sorry...

    “We have got to set the highest possible standards for ourselves. We gave away a really sloppy goal against Blackburn. From 4-1 and cruising, we survived a warning shot and we were loose and we have got to recognise that and be better.

    “It was a good win going into the break; four goals, four different scorers and more goals for our front two. It was great for Brighty and Ebs [to score] too but we were loose on too many occasions.”

    AS MARK Warburton readies his troops for Blackburn this weekend, he has called on his players to “deliver a performance” in west London.

    The R’s suffered a 3-0 loss at Cardiff City on Wednesday night and the R’s boss admits his post-match speech to the players was one that needed to be carefully considered.

    “It was important we got the message right to the players,” Warburton explained.

    Final match before the annoying international break, both sides not in the best of RECENT form heading into this one. We failed to beat Luton and Forest at HOME, but from our point of view, I am hoping our AWAY DAYS are much more lucky.

    Been impressed with QPR's start to the season, as I was worried about the amount of new faces coming in. However they have hit the ground running and are scoring plenty or goals and have been in amongst the top end of the table for the most part of...

    “The fact of the matter is we have lost a game of football and it hurts. If it doesn’t hurt then you shouldn’t be in the game. The good thing is we have a very swift chance to make amends.”

    MARK Warburton admits he and his squad are hurting following Saturday’s defeat – but they welcome the early opportunity to “make amends” when they visit Cardiff City on Wednesday night.
