Brum v QPR | Match Thread

[SheepRanger]

We've slowed the game down to take the 2-0 loss

[Darkranger]

Nothing seems to have worked out today(I didn't think the formation helped) ,you have to say that Birmingham have been the better team.

[SheepRanger]

We're a team of lightweights

3-0

[daveshads]

We aren’t built to play teams like this. Same when we play Middlesbrough. If don’t win the physical battles, you don’t get your chance to play the way you want. I thought Birmingham were pretty average but honestly couldn’t deny them the points.
3-0 now……..

[eam1882]

Out of the top eight now.
it was fun while it lasted.

[Fraggy]

Kone was tackled by the grass and is now injured.

Were we good in those first 10 fixtures or were they just good fixtures?

Performance

I could watch vale all day long and never be convinced he’s much more than L1/2 player

Kone fair enough game 2-0 but at least try not sure if he’s fell out with anyone but if JS wants to pull up kolli gotta do the same with him not fit overweight and lack of interest cut out loss and flog him in Jan

bad day out looked knackered from midweek but carrying too many not good enough imo to finish top 8

Waste of space

[Romford Hoop]

Think a 3 game week and a mountain of injuries caught up with us today. Lloyd and Madsen injured ? Plus Chair, Burrell, Mbengue,Lamptey, Dembele, missing Cirkin, just too much for our squad.
The 4 upfront today were hopeless and many others were playing poorly.

Writing today off as a bad day at the office, next 2 games will show where we really are.

Bunch of lightweight players.

A great display away to West Ham & home to Derby and doom....

Bunch of fair weather players without any real bite.

How many years have we needed a central midfield enforcer. Lets mot discuss Adamdon's schoolboy defending...but when I was a schoolboy player we'd never bunch that close to the CBs. Crazy positional play!

Too harsh, a bad performance with individual errors, still been a decent start to the season, need a fit squad and we will be fine, highly unlikely I know.

The opening 7 fixtures were very benign, said it in July when they came out. Aside from Boro, we played sides from last season's bottom 6ish.
This current set of fixtures are clearly much stiffer and it was always likely we'd slip down the table.
Teams like Boro and Brum seem to have a promotion "attitude" and don't mind getting their elbows out and scrapping in every game: every point is precious to them. I'm not entirely convinced we've shaken off our plucky little QPR with the little budget mentality though? It's not a disaster today - main thing is to show a reaction and put it right in the next game.

We were poor all over the pitch , got bullied off the ball , messed about with it at the back.....too many players had a off day

[QPRFCJIM]

First away game I've managed to get to this season, we were way off it but we've got a week now to recharge before Swansea. Any injured players on cusp of returning?
