Rovers v Rangers match thread.... on 22:41 - Feb 26 by Wegerles_Stairs
"We spoke about that but the manager was happy with what he had.....that wasn't a position he felt he wanted to add to in terms of his squad."
Happy with what he had yet doesn't play a striker in a crunch game like today, then we sit back and wait for the inevitable to happen. Feel for those who went today - I've only been to one of the poor recent away 'performances' and I didn't have too far to get back; must be particularly galling to go all the way up there for a 12.30 kick-off and watch that dross. Fair play to them all.
As I said, Warburton is not a sacred cow. Plenty of other clubs 'punching above their weight' this season - look at Huddersfield and Luton, for instance. My feeling is he's doing exactly what he did at Brentford - his intransigence regarding transfers is costing us a shot at the play-offs.
As i said, i don’t disagree with your assessment of today necessarily, in fact, neither does MW judging by his comments. But stop saying he refused to sign a player. Its not true, Chemical Wegerle.
Bare bones.

Just a few observations from watching the game last night
Referee was appalling and gave every decision to Blackburn and allowed them to get away with fouls without any punishment.
We started very slowly and probably deserved to be losing before taking control for around 10 minutes around the half hour mark Not easy but missed chances by Albert and Chair
I thought the defence stood up well
Changing keeper at half time was not helpful although Marshall did make a few decent saves.
Should he have saved the goal though? (that was never a foul by McCallum - referee was a shocker)
Johansen misplaced the ball a lot which was disappointing
I though Hendrick played well as did Dunne Dieng did well until he went off - I was surprised he went off as he didn't look injured?
Anyway having more time between games over the next month or so will help - but we need to start going for it again - we (manager and or players) seem to have lost our nerve or teams have found us out.
Let's hope we can bounce back starting this week.
Edit also worried about Willock recently he has not been playing well and his body language is less positive. Not sure what's going on? Maybe he does not like the change in formation - it certainly did not suit him against Blackburn.

It's not just about today, obviously - it's a pattern or poverty we saw against Peterborough, Barnsley, Millwall, the first half v Hull, and for most of today's game. Evidently, sometimes we will lose, deservedly or otherwise. I think you're burying your head in the sand.
Not really, we've been poor.
But conspiracy theories because we lose to teams below us - it happens every week, in every league?
Don't know about my head, but you need to lift yours up and look around you.
Defeat is part of sport, its not exclusive to us!

Wasn't you who said that the club 'didn't want to go up' and that the players had 'lost their bottle' then?

The first part - yes, that was me, engaging in a bit of rhetorical provication if you will. I was talking about your accusation that I somehow feel QPR shouldn't 'do' defeats (which I don't, obviously). Even if I still think the performance at Barnsley and Millwall were unprofessional, shoddy and 'beneath us'.
