Watford v QPR | Match Thread

[72bus]

Just back a game of 2 halves .
We were lucky to get back in it .
Came out after the break and we're the better team .
Madsen is such a poor player how JS can't see this is beyond me .....
The man is stealing a living from us .
I don't like digging out players but will when they don't put in 100%
Fitness and strength Watford were head and shoulders above us 1st half ....
Needs to vastly improve at cov.

Who you talking about?

Madsen. Not sure i could be describing any other qpr player although a few of them had shockers in the first 45.

Totally agree with some of these comments.No way Walsh should be No 1.Put a left back in the left back role not on the suns bench and our best cm at right back..Madeson is absolutely awful.We rely on Chair too much ,Not sure he’s that great.Dembele falls to the floor expecting a foul and never chases back.Id have hooked him at half time.Cook far to slow.His running back for the second goal was horrible to watch..Field started the season not great but when you got Madesin next to you your doing double the work.All in all not sure this manager is picking the teams to our strengths.In the second half when we changed it the balance everything looked right.Dont drop Kone to a deeper role needs to be the top man up the pitch,knows where the goal is .Stop playing players out of position .It pisses me off that if he would have started the team from the second half we may have had half a chance.We can’t keep chasing results by giving the ball away time after time and conceding goals,sloppy ones from our own corners.Varane if fit should have started just to get a foothold in the game.Madeson wouldn’t be anywhere near my first 11,nor Dembele if he wants to defend like that.We need a midfielder who plays with left and right foot who can drive through the middle at pace and set the forwards up.We need to stop pussyfooting around with these goal kicks.It does not work for us .We just get closed down.2/3 years doing it and we are no better.Put the other team on the back foot and pressure them for a change.

Watford just sat on our defence the 1st half whenever we had a goal kick , Walsh just didn't know what to do with it.
Hopefully JS will address this , this week in training.

I'm not sure what nardi has done wrong. Personally I have an issue when my goalkeeper can only kick a moving ball and brings in defenders to kick a standing ball, at this level surely that should be a basic requirement.

[WeAreQPR12]

Also when we talk about players playing out of position I think Madsen is another case of that. You can't play him as a centre midfielder. He must be playing in a free role. Varane is very much needed in the middle, big strong lad who can carry the ball and takes allot of pressure away from our centre Half's who can be quite static

[QPRDave]

Explain to me how we can bring in a coach for the defence who was part of the meanest defence in top flight history but still concede ridiculously easy goals
Explain to me why after the preseason we have injuries and players with no Idea wtf is going on.
Explain to me how after one of the best close seasons for recruitment we are worse than last.

[daveshads]

I'm sure many of us will share your feelings QPRdave.
But it's still very early days and our squad looks decent.
Things to get right...
Play players in their correct positions
Try a system that doesn't revolve around Ilias
Sign a HARD midfielder
Pick Nardi
These would be a good start.

Agree we are and have been for a long time an easy team to play against. Never been a fan of has beens on the pitch or off it.

[Martinmalta]

Against Preston ... played first half only.
Against Watford ... played second half only.
Against Plymouth ... we did not play all game.
We are due a full 90 minutes, plus injury time!

Don't play madsen full stop.

I agree Don however we've unfortunately lost Poku who will be a massive player for us but I'd rather bring in Varane and move the Dane further forward. He certainly isn't a centre midfielder and at least play him in a position where he can actually play to his strengths. I get your frustration don but he can pick a pass and we saw that late last season

Im sure he technically good enough but you can't hide in this league. His stats from sat i believe was 1 tackle in his 60 mins on the pitch. He just won't bother running around and if you are playing midfield that is criminal. I just don't think he has the heart/guts/desire whatever you want to call to succeed in this league.

He's a luxury we cant afford.
