Sunderland v QPR match thread

[twranger]

Well few teams are going to give us a little fight away as Sunderland did and it's going to take more than a few draws to get us out of this mess. Harsh truth remains that we're fast coming up to halfway in the season without a single win and have taken 5 points from 42. The sort of results we'd be happy with if we were mid-table simply don't cut it. That's not a slight on Harry but he's got a incredibly difficult job ahead of him. One point is better than none but let's not kid ourselves that this was a vintage performance by any measure. We offered little attacking threat and can be thankful that Sunderland were as bad if not worse. If we win against Villa I'll be happy.

Bet you wont - if you cannot take a tiny glimmer of encouragement from tonights result, doubt a win will change anything.

How the hell are people not 'happy' with that?????

Yes but who is in the box to pass it to?

We could have used Zamora today......anyway clean sheet and a point but not the confidence boost we needed for the important run of upcoming fixtures. I must say we looked shaky when off the ball and to me our attack looked coincidental - not much progress to be honest. Then again what can you expect in 2 days.

The fact that SWP came on ahead of Hoilett is worrying to me

Thought SWP did well when he came on.

Dunno about you but in Harry I trust.

A point is good as is the clean sheet. However ... lets no kid ourselves, Sunderland were truly shocking. We should have won that. Passing in the final third really let us down tonight.

I think we will gain great confidence from this result.

I was only able to see the second half because of work but I'm OK with the point! Conditions looked brutal there and I was worried that one defensive mistake might do us in as so often happens! Harry will see how much work he has to do as we really don't do much in the final third but at least a clean sheet away from home brings a bit of hope! Props to all of you R's who made the long journey up there in terrible conditions, your voices were well heard!

we missed Anton

Sunderland missed Anton..... That's our first clean sheet away since Wolves in September 2011......

Overall, we played well, kept a clean sheet, and took a point off Sunderland at their gaff. I would have taken that in spades before kick-off and am fairly pleased.

[Norths]

Happy with that, and well done to the lads who made it up there.Safe journey back!

This.
