    Yes, it's gutting but, we lost 1-0 away from home to the second best team in the league.

    We are in a very good place and with only losing 1 game in our last 7, there is plenty to be happy about.

    After 3 years of utter shyte, we have now a club to be proud of.

    You r'ssssssss
    Literally couldn't agree more. Top post Hits.

    Definitely not convinced by this Scowen / Cousins partnership. Yesterday brought home how much Cameron and Luongo are now being missed.

    As for Wells, his supply line was virtually nullified the entire game, so he was pretty much isolated. Plus as I said in the other thread:

    Agree with that. I reckon though we'll be play off contenders for the rest of the season but never quite deliver. Whenever we get close we'll falter and drop back again. Its the Rangers way, but we are miles better this season than for many years.

    Bad day at the office and in recent months they have been rare so a little bit of slack should be given as this team have done great especially when you consider the players that are not available

There was just enough ball involved for the opponent to escape a booking or it was made to look like a bit of a two way bundle for the ball. Then, for example, Cousins upends a player miles from goal, no threat, going nowhere and gets himself booked so he can't then knock someone over later in the game who needs to come down. We get knocked off the ball too easily. We're not Man City, passing teams to death, so we have to mix it. Great to watch pure football but Leeds and Sheff Utd are where they are because they play a tough game not because they are particularly good. Not sure I've seen a really good team this season that I'd pay to watch if I wasn't QPR.
    , I think I know what you mean. And I would actually like us to buy a few players with great physical strenght before next season`s campaign. Not sure who; but today Duffy and McGoldrick impressed me immensly. The ran rings around us at times. Another thing Is how poor we are when we miss the easiest of passes. Hemed, Rangel and Cameron are also like I stated before sorely misses as all three of them are excellent at using their strength and routine when needed...

    Very sensible observation. Thought the game proved how close we are to being proper contenders - next season could be very interesting, but this one’s all about the cup I reckon.

    And try to attack leading to maybe scoring a goal, today was rubbish as far as attacking wise & something thats a worry that we create hardly anything, but a good job our defence is solid.

    Wells has been playing with a leg injury hence why he was rested in the Cup match, he took a few knocks today as well, maybe he should have been subbed off, it's a tough call though because a player like that can come out of nowhere with a moment of quality, I thought he should have been subbed after he got stomped on!

I also think the gaffer got the subs wrong today. After Oteh's performance last week, I'd have probably found a way to get him on at half time.
