Jimmy Says re PNE

[LoftusRoadLad]

Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Hasselbaink admitted his side just didn’t get going, commenting: “It's a really disappointing result – our performance just wasn't there today.

“We weren't anywhere near our best. We looked flat and we deserved to lose the game.

“Preston set their stall out and had a way of playing that we found difficult to respond to. Credit to them.

“There was a lack of energy in our performance.

“We were second best throughout the game.

“We didn't create chances because we weren't calm enough on the ball. We were very nervous for some reason. We lacked patience.”

After back-to-back league wins at the start of the season, the R’s have now suffered back-to-back defeats and Hasselbaink is demanding a response against Rochdale in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night.

“The players know the last two performances haven't been good enough,” he said.

“Conceding five goals in two games isn't good enough and we need to make sure we respond to this.

[Rangers77]

Your team was too narrow, Jimmy. You set it up all wrong.

[Olly]

Yes, they got wide balls very easily.

Every team that comes to Loftus Road now, will be coming for the 3 points. They know our defence is leaky and we won't score many. I can't see us pick up many points on the road the way in which we play.

Jimmy... what did we do in the first two games that we're not doing now?

As 77 says, we were narrow all over the pitch. Defending with full backs, we tried to make the pitch narrow but that didn't work, they just lumped it wide and created chances and with the rain, our full backs were slipping trying to recover. In attack, Cousins was never in the right position and Yeni was waiting for the ball to reach him instead of moving to the ball.

Terry Cinzano has just tweted that JFH says he wants to bring in two attacking players. Do it please

Fair enough, let's see how we do next fixture?

Don't mean to be patronising but that's your best and most sensible post in ages,very true

[Awin]

You would think a certain % of our support prefer us to fail (on and off the pitch), regardless of their reasons I feel it's venomous, destructive and effing lame!

[Harryboy]

I would say we was hoofing the ball up to no mans land most off the game,

[knocker]

don't believe any real supporter ever wants us to lose.

What rubbish. I think some just overreact about losing a game because they're frustrated. Others are just better at dealing with it.
