SKY stat from last night
at 10:26 23 Oct 2024

At some point in the game SKY put up a stat I hadn't seen before and it blew my mind - can't quite remember the specifics but it basically had us as 2nd or 3rd in the League for shots and chances created and bottom for chance conversion at something like 6% - it summed our season up so far in a very telling way. Woeful.

That said I don't think I've ever seen so many of our shots blocked before - it seems like every game there are at least 5 good shots that end up being blocked and not even deflected - no luck with anything going our way. I've only managed to watch on TV but I've been incredulous at the amount of times tackles and half blocks have fallen incredibly kindly to the opposition in all the games as well.
Feels like the hex is back somehow.

Greg Spires - recruitment blog
at 14:00 1 May 2024

Many of you might have missed the recent blogs from Greg Spires on potential recruitment - I think he does an excellent job and provides real food for thought on our current players' qualities and deficiencies alongside realistic identification of potential players who might/should be looked at.
I've linked to all of his most recent posts below:

https://medium.com/p/d0ce6686922d - Defensive midfielders
https://medium.com/@greg.spires/qpr-recruitment-focus-central-midfielders-19d839
https://medium.com/p/46b26ca2b562 - Right Back
https://medium.com/p/b0172a4db419 - Goalkeepers

I would definitely be interested in checking back on the recommended players at the start of next season to see where they have ended up if they have moved.

Time to finish with the Dunne experiment?
at 18:07 14 Apr 2024

Was there yesterday and I’m afraid Marti got that one wrong 4 centre backs a la Swansea was horribly wrong. They were so mobile and tiny and there weren’t really any crosses to deal with. Desperately needed mobile full backs to close the gaps out wide and get up the pitch to pen them back.
We’ve also stopped utilising the advantages of having Dunne as an outlet at right back and it totally nullified him. Think back to the successes at Blackburn, West Brom, it was all about pushing Jimmy high and winning the knock down against smaller weaker wingers and full backs. We didn’t do that once yesterday.

People being really disingenuous about this. That is an absolutely brilliant cross and a hell of a finish. Suspect we would be saying very different things if we had scored it.

That’s me in the photo with him.
Still can’t get my head around the fact we grew up together, used to stand in The Loft together and now he’s the actual Assistant Manager of our team. It’s bonkers!!

I’m as enamoured as most with our ‘beast’, but has anyone ever seen him actually head a ball? Seems to be a serious facet missing from his game.

91st minute in must win game
at 11:02 17 Apr 2022

It’s the ninety first minute in a must win game, it’s 2-2 and you get a free kick in your half. What do you do?
Lots of good things about Friday’s match but it still boils my piss that they’re in game decisions are still woeful. We ended up passing it back to our keeper and then spent the remaining 5 mins chasing shadows, committing fouls and not impacting the game in any positive way.
I still can’t get my head around it.

Hendrie
at 11:13 30 Nov 2021

Living in the North I have to get the majority of my Rangers fix via SKY. Got to say, Lee Hendrie is sooooo much better as a co-commentator than Goodman or Hinchcliffe or whoever else they regularly get in. Thought he called it really well last night and didn't find myself looking for something to throw at the telly in response to yet another ill informed comment or blatant anti-QPR tosh.

Really nice touch from EA on Ultimate Team at the moment where you can earn a QPR kit with Kiyan Prince sponsor and big picture of Kiyan on a TIIFO (mesh thing behind the goals). That’s worldwide coverage so fair play to Mark. Great stuff.

Just wondered what people's thoughts were on getting him back on loan - obviously wages a problem but if they weren't would he be welcomed back?
Personally I could see his class and can't think of many better tried and tested strikers that might/would be available. I'd give him another season, when he was on it I thought he was excellent although obviously tailed off at the end
I did see a tweet where he said he would love to come back again but probably lip service.

Premier League 100 - Les Ferdinand

On Sky Sports this morning.
30 minutes - all his PL goals (149 of them).
He scored 60+ for Rangers - it was lovely to see them all consecutively - reminded me of great times.
Oh and not one of them was a penalty.

Far as I'm concerned he'll always be a legend and my favourite QPR player.

Not seen enough, just wondering if this was the first time we had played against 3 at the back this season. Potentially one of the reasons we struggled so badly?

Been back a while
at 19:58 4 Feb 2017

Brilliant start, Mackie should have scored. Manning stroking it about, winning the ball back' looked imperious. Then we stopped. Blackburn dropped off and let us have the ball. We couldn't string passes together or unlock the door. Everything went across the back left to right and back again without any real intention. When we did try and force it the passing was inaccurate, Luongo the main culprit.
Their forward from Southamton was very good, big, strong, quick intelligent. Danny Graham looked like he'd eaten Danny Graham!
Second half was much the same. Decisions in the final third really let us down that and the final ball/ cross. Smith came on and won everything, Washington wasn't really anticipating things very well.
The 'goal' that wasn't. Looked well over the line from where I was. Couldn't believe it wasn't given. Not sure how the Lino couldn't see. Washington took it well to be fair.
We needed to get the ball a cross as Smith was winning everything.
We all knew as soon as they broke forward it was gonna be a goal. As soon as the goal wasn't given I could have written the script.

Overall they did okay. Not enough in the final third. Certainly deserved more. I think Luongo and Mackie could have done a lot better. I would have taken Perch off put Goss on and moved Him forward into the midfield.
