Comment | Defensive horror show sees QPR crash at West Brom — full match report
at 09:53:53
This was a brilliant piece. Better than any in the papers.
The analysis was top level. Things were brought out that have been said in posts all year. The QPR squad is not being handled correctly and MH is not picking his best 11 day in and day out, nor the best formations. In fact the fans are doing a better job than he is.
-His defense is SO bad he ran out injured players Anton and Jose when they were not ready.
-He failed to address defensive weaknesses untill it was too late...in fact he has been late (coaching wise) in every game. As pointed out Steve Clarke (the #2 to Kenny at Lpool last yr) made a series of changes at key moments in this game to expose QPR, then deflate QPR. Why didnt Onuhu come in at Left back sooner?
-Last yr MH took 10 games to learn his squad, YET is doing the same again!!! He has had to relearn that Adel is a real threat and he needs TWO holding midfielders in front of his defense, and third SWP is not a starter!!
- THIS year (luckily) he has a better & deeper squad but his team selections have to baffle the players.
Onto things we learned from this and the last 3-4 games.
a- We need two holding midfielders: Mbia, Samba, Ali and Park. He has 4 to choose from. Ali and Mbia or Samba actually seems to have potential.
b.-Offense is best defense. Adel, Junior Granero and Zam are the best atacking options (4-2-3-1). Cisse/Jamie can sub for the flankers.

Clive, Superb work!
Agree with everything you said emphatically.
ON BZ; He took a hiding! As a hold up man he was a warrior, he was climbed on more than a kitchen stool, while Cisse and Joey was being sent off. Hopefully he and AJ/HH can share this job next year.
-Ditto on Jamie M. He WAS the player of the year. His runs on the rightside, and his play where what Joey was supposed to do. as is he pushed Joey into a deep role. Hopefully if Samba and Ali link up in midfield, Jamie will get even better. |

Fellow QPR faithfull: This was probably the most gutwrenching season I can remember. But yet rewarding. I am thankfull that QPR have Tony Fernandes and especially Amit Bhatia. without them we'd still be in league one. Thanks to Mark Hughes also!
The anger on this site needs to be shared. Norwich and swansea also great last Sunday, teams that finished BEHIND us last year. While they prepared for the top flight Bernie and Flavio ....who turned Loftus Road into a HUGE joke long before Joey spent nothing on our team until a month of the season was in. In contrast Swansea brought in michel Vorm (?) who single handedly came them in MANY games. Who did we sign....Gabbidon, Anton and Kieron Dyer. We had TWO players of Premier league quality...Ali Faurlin and Adel. And adel was not using his head most of the season.
Despite our evident deficiencies, we were top half at one point! THEN came injuries to Ali and HH. I would argue that if hughes had Ali there would have been less anst. HH was superb in his stint.
So to Joey: I am not a fan of his. but that said did we have other options? No not really. When he was good he was a contributor. his emotions DID get the better of him and his game sufferred. As much as he is castigated for his Man City show, personally I think the Norwich game was as bad. A game we had until he was sent off. SOLUTION:( My opinion) first Joey is not captain, 2nd I dont see him as guaranteed to start. I use Cisse (as Fernandes) has as an example of someone who was excellent but had to learn to keep his head.
Currently We have adel, Samba, Faurlin, and Joey as our midfield. I see Samba and Ali as the defensive pair and probably the best at that slot. Then Adel (left midfield) gets another slot in front of them. I think Mckie probably is the right midfield option. Cisse has already declared himself a Ranger. So then what of Bobby Z? I am not so sure he stays. Yes he did his job quite well, but his goal tally did not reflect his chances. Ditto I expect to see another Centerback (chris samba), another central midfielder, and maybe another forward. I think SWP will again be a sub, as will Armand. I hope Clint stays, but if he does it will be as depth behind Anton and the new CB. Paddy and Derry I see going off to Leeds. So who replaces Paddy? Ben Foster?

QPRski: Good note. I think Adel plays behind Zamora for while.
I heard alot about traore and Taiwo as interchangeable on the left side. but it did not happen. I hope to see those 2 together. Plus as MANY have said JB is a RM. Not a defensive midfielder. Thats were our problems really lie. with him right and derry/Mackie and Akos in the middle I think we might be better. Onuha may have just grabbed the RB slot. We have Fitz and Gabs plus Anton, with better coverage on the left.
Akos is really key. His passing is what was/is missing...not to mention corners, dead balls. |

Cisse hopefully learned from this compare to Craig Bellamy...very similar players.
But the ref had chances to balance the scales but did not. O'Hackra and Johnson should have been sent off. as for Johnson's post game comments ...he makes it sound like he was not remorsefull but he knew what he was doing.

good writing.
-We need some work at the back for sure!! CB & LB.
-but here is an idea...JAMIE in CF Midfield beside Ali (in Derry's old Role)
Then Barton Goes Right, Taarbs centre, Traore on the LF. With Helg leading the line up front. Jamie has played well in defensive roles and can tackle and pass.
