Qpr v Portsmouth | Match Thread

[Macca]

We are dog we have brought in some crap players, who they hell suggested these tosspots, play two up front from the start ffs.

Morgan...there is a player there.

The Championship is one of the most competitive leagues in the world. We have a manager from Hammaby in the Swedish league, a squad chock full of utter garbage and a board that are content to let this club limp from season to wretched season like a wounded animal, probably content only to mention that they own QPR at dinner parties. Why be so surprised where we are?

We've got all transfer business wrong. I think it's the guy on recruitment to blame. It is good to bring some players from the continent, however we brought too many in one transfer window, the only positive signings being Dembele and Nardi. Last season we were better because we had Willock, Hayden, Dykes and other British players that know the CC well. Most of the new signings seemed lost and cannot catch up with tge ferocity of this league. Playing like this will take us down.

I really hope Marti doesn't do a post match interview because there is nothing I want to hear after this shower of sh!t.

Why we didn't sign Hayden I don't know, wages high I know but very solid player.

The squad composition is driven by the DOF, which is Nourry. He sets transfer strategy. So it is 100% his decision to sign players from abroad. Not just some players from abroad, but ALL players from abroad. None of whom have championship experience. Why? Because he has NO prior experience as a DOF. And he has been given the keys to the club. Running everything. The mind boggles.

Patience patience Fox let us down today Chair is also not match fit. Colback is coming back and JCS to dont panick the season is long.

[Martinmalta]

Les was poor, but this guy is worse. He may be very good on how to handle the finances. But to recruit players I have big doubts.

[daveshads]

We are repetitively bad, losing or sometimes drawing with pretty poor sides. We don't look like a football team at all. I don't know what Marti's plan A is and there is clearly no plan B.
Whilst we DO have some "duds" we also have some decent players but they regularly do not play well. Watching them is hard and almost never exciting.
Marti was certainly part of why we stayed up last season, but in hindsight this seems to have been down to new manager syndrome rather than brilliance on his part. Let's not forget that when we beat Leeds 4-0, Leeds were absolutely terrible and on a real downer.
The road ahead looks tough. If Marti is managing us by computer/statistics/algorithms as it sometimes seems then we have had it. I am not sure if he should stay or go but his seemingly lack of acceptance of what the Championship requires, is a great worry. He seems to be acting like King Canute.
We have a great deal of time left to save ourselves but tinkering is not going to put this right.

Marti needs to put his big boy pants on and play 2 cf Tuesday celar deserves a run of games

Plan b can’t be same as plan a

[72bus]

We bought show ponies instead of grafters , there lies the problem .

Have to question Marti yesterday' we looked clueless. no system of play too much slow football especially across the back ,he made 5 substitutions and left the 2 worst players on the pitch for 90 minutes Madsen & fox, who were both abysmal and Madsen was as bad v Derby, as for Chairs 2 chances 1st miss is a disgrace trying to be flash and the 2nd just needs to hit it first time instead of trying to check back which he does all the time, i think the only player to come out of yesterday was Frey, the rest were totally inept, once again the fans turn up but the team doesn't, We look like a team who will be relegated most of our player too lightweight, the midfield is very weak we were better off under Ainsworth last season, not that i wanted him to stay we would've definitely got relegated under him, Marti is going to have to use what ever magic he used last year again but very quickly, can.t afford to be down there for too long , but yesterday we looked like a team who'll be relegated
