QPR v Millwall - League Cup Match Thread

[Abseits]

I'm thinking Charles should take one of the pens...

[Sleeping Giants]

How bad are we at pens with Madsen and Kone out of the picture? All 4 saved!!!

[Abseits]

That has to be one of the poxiest series of pens ANY team has turned in.

[daveshads]

Anyone in the crowd fancy taking one?

[eam1882]

Fukin shi t pens
absolute disgrace.

Quite possibly the worst penalty shootout ever!

6 of 8 penalties missed.

Might get bashed for this but i feel this is an excellent result for us. 1-1 against Millwall lose to them on penalties. With our injury record it is enough to concentrate on the leauge and eventually the FA cup. I just hope we can keep an injury free squad and aim for the playoffs!

Appalling Crap

Tend to agree with this. Our priority has to be top 8 which adds a fantastic opportunity for sides around our level. We unfortunately have the worst right back in the league in mbengue. His awareness is so shocking that he tends to look around but forgets to check where the ball is which isn't near his feet, most semi pro footballers would be shocked how bad he is.

Never watched a team having 4 penalties saved. But with the R's ... everthing is possible. Not having Kone, Madsen and Burell on the pitch was always going to be a big question mark who will take the penalties.

I suppose we technically broke our run of four successive defeats so that's good.

Played some good stuff,
but can't score a goal when it matters.
Drives me crazy.
No better than last season.
I know it's only the cup
But I expected more.
Really disappointed,
Another Saturday with the hump.

I felt the same but Wall are one of the top sides in this division. I did expect a lot more chances

[daveshads]

Yes, begrudgingly you have to admire Millwall. They are really tough and we haven’t worked out how to play sides like them. Our standard performance will rarely do it.
I like Mbengue’s whole hearted attitude and his energy but he can be really rash. Unless he sorts this out, he should never start.
Far too early to come up with broad statements but one that came up several times last season remains (I think) true. When we start with Chair, we have to play a certain way. We have seemed more fluid without him at times last season (wonderful servant that he has been). This needs consideration.
Early days, quite hopeful. Always hated penalty shoot outs!!
Forgive our GK - he looks very good!

Specifically, they should have asked some of the young kids that take them occasionally during the half time interval to take them.
