De wijs will be the weak link this year. Zero pace and blowing out of his #### today.

[Martinmalta]

these last three games we scored five goals and only one coming from a striker!

That's typical QPR ,we will lose games we are expected to win ,and win games we are expected to lose .I have never thought we were a top 6 win so not overly surprised by what is happening now

I think that is part of the problem, our expectations were raised with the way we finished last term and the signings we made but if you look at it there are holes all over this squad, it's a long season but matches like today do nothing to suggest we are going to be in the play off mix!

[Dono77]

2 goals conceded on the break. Any side with qui j strikers will do well against us. It was the same against Coventry at home. They should have been 2 up by ht and they targeted dickie and de wijs. Sane again today. We have no pace at cb. A defender's first job is ti be able to defend. We seem obsessed with watching them knocking 25 yard passes along the backline and playing pretty triangles. Put them in a foot race and they are ####ed. Give Dunne a chance and maybe tell some of our lads they are allowed to shoot from the edge of the box instead of walking it in. Lots to work on for the coaching team.

Today is the first time we have scored in 21 consecutive games since 1959; we're second in the championship goalscoring stats table, scoring over 2 goals a game on average.

I trust Warbuton and the team will work hard at switching to a useful defensive unit when we lose the ball. Chins up.

[Dono77]

Unfortunately the defence hasn't improved at all since he's been at the club. All other aspects have in terms of the way we play, the attacking options, our shape, our resilience and togetherness but we still concede shocking goals and despite all the defenders he has signed, it's still our achilles heel. Sort that and we will go places. We need a few clean sheets but it's our first choice back 5 and we are being picked apart very easily.

[Riverwild]

This is a major problem even this early in the season.

Warburton must stop the team from bleeding too many goals. This pattern is like his first season with us. This needs to be addressed asap or it will cost us this season.

We should not be conceding this many goals playing 5 at the back.

Unbelievable result, but it’s all about taking chances & we didn’t again, ok goalkeeper was outstanding but that is what he’s paid to do but we shouldn’t have given him a chance to save them

Exactly plus My cold Beer still gonna taste good, would of tasted better with the Win but such is life, more than one way to Skin a Cat and Saturday it still is, have the best evening you can one and all.

As the saying goes put it in the right place you score.

Really worried thougt Reading was a give away and its getting worse. No excuse for today 3 points losts and Warburton has to fix this quickly.

[MINCER]

Either the personnel at C/Back need to be freshened up or a radical change in formation allowing other players in.

Its no secret that the C/Backs and the current players in M/F have no answer to teams playing on the counter attack and with pace.

[Shania]

Had a horrible feeling that was going to happen. Need to start games stronger and be tighter at the back.

This. Hence I was hoping for one point today. We seem to be far too naive tactically naive in my opinion. We get stretced far too easily...

[gator]

We can blame tactics all we want and I do have some questions but if the players finish their chances as they are paid to do we win this match by 2 or 3 goals and no one is discussing this!

Time to find a place for dunne , gray didn't stop.moaning , Austin what's happened???? and dykes needs some composure in front of goal
I walked away today not knowing how we didn't win , honestly I'd have been annoyed with a draw . Need a good showing against wba
