If Cousins is a decent footballer I’m the pope. He lacks any presence whatsoever. I’ve cut him a lot of slack for being injured and not given a chance, but that performance just tops it for me. He doesn’t even look like he has a footballing brain in his head. |  | | |  |

I agree - he just hasn't got it. Bring back Manning. |  | | |

He is a footballer who has lost confidence and the will to play. I think he can play but I have never thought at this level. For me there is so much more bite to Manning's whole game. I tend to think Steve sent the wrong man on loan, but begrudgingly I think he will give Cousins a run. Steve has made us hard to beat though so perhaps one day we will see a better Cousins. Part of me would love to see him do that but I just don't think that player is there. Or perhaps was ever there. Come on Jordan, do something to prove us wrong. [Post edited 29 Dec 2018 18:13]

Jordan had a big chance today to say to McLaren 'pick me'. He did not take that chance but he is not the reason we failed to win today, the team as a whole put in a poor performance, Lumley and Scowen aside. |  | | |

Cousins is very poor. Almost lost us the game in the last minute giving the ball away on the half way line. Never been impressed by him and I suspect I never will. Rather have seen Chair partnering Scowen in midfield than Cousins. | |

I was quite excited when we signed him. I think I got him mixed up with Lookman |  |

Cousins is a good footballer, but hes a limited footballer.
He can win the ball, cover ground, win headers and otherwise defend. His close control is crap. He can only pass sideways and backwards. He didn't play a single successful ball forward (other than a randomly beautiful diagonal ball to left wing in the second half).
When you partner him with a player like Freeman, Cameron or Luongo in a midfield 2 who will assume the dribbling and passing responsibilities, he can excel as a defensive midfielder
however, when you pair him with a player like scowen who is also limited and doesn't show for the ball, its not going to be pretty. which is what we all unfortunately saw today
I don't think he lacks a football "brain". hes just not good with the ball [Post edited 29 Dec 2018 18:35]

SM will give him an extended run while Mass is at the Asian cup think this is make or break time for Jordan do well and prove yourself do badlly and think chance lost. Would be good if Manning is recalled as cover in case needed. | | | |

Oh come on, mate. Cousins was dreadful today. Call a spade a spade and all that. |  | | |

Isn't this a case for him not being a very good footballer?

Bar Lumley, they all were but I understand it is traditional to have a scapegoat. |  |

You’re utterly boring. I saw a poor performance from a player who too often hasn’t been good enough, and I commented on it. Are we not entitled to discuss player performances? There’s been plenty of positive posts about players over the past few weeks too.
Bore off. | | | |

Straw Man argument alert.
No scapegoat nonsense. He had a dreadful game. More so, by a long way, than his underperforming colleagues. Everyone saw it. Everyone in the pub in agreement on it. He was dreadful. It’s allowed to be said on a QPR forum when discussing the game. | | | |

Freeman was good, ran himself into the ground, good passing, just wasn’t able to find that cutting edge. |  |

yep, in addition to Lumley and freeman, I also thought the entire back 4 was good. they absorbed a lot of pressure and kept a clean sheet
there were some subpar performances, but cousins was the only one who really had a stinker. his passing accuracy was 48.1% today, which is pretty hard to do considering how many times he passed sideways to furlong
the team played poorly as a collective unit. but I don't think many individual players were that crap on the day | | | |

Very much this. I’m sure he’s a nice bloke and loves his mum but he almost never looks like a Championship midfielder and today was worse than average. Boro was sadly the exception to the rule.
The foul he got booked for was a really dangerous position and the miskick at the end was Sunday league. There was another total air shot on the edge of our box first half.
We desperately need him, a senior player, to step up. I fear the worst though. | | | |

They will play Cousins until the end of the Jan window to try and offload him for whatever they can get for him.
If that does not work, then Mas will be back and he will be dropped as his contract runs out at the end of the year. At which point just before the window closes they may also hopefully bring Manning back. I wish they would, but I suspect some disappointment in that.
Also, two Rotherham players got sent off today so, Manning may be back in that team, hopefully for a few games to keep the fakes in the relegation zone.

He’s barely played for three years. He certainly hasn’t had a run of games. He looked rusty but I don’t think you can really judge him until he’s had a run of 15-20 games. [Post edited 29 Dec 2018 20:37]

He’s played in 17 games this season somehow. I’d honestly have guessed it was more like six.
No player can honestly expect a run of games if they show no promise at all. Every time he comes in he looks poor and loses his place or gets injured. He’s 24 now- this is about as good as it will get. | | | |

I’m surprised that people are confident that Manning can do a job for us when he can’t get in the Rotherham team. |  | | |

He came in when Cameron got injured and did pretty well I thought. He then filled in at RB when Lynch was out and did well there as well I think. It meant a recall for Scowen who’s done well so he’s then dropped to the bench when Lynch came back. Today he was poor, but he’s been out a long time so he’s bound to take some time to get some consistency. He might turn out to be a turkey but, given his injuries, I think he needs a run of games before we’ll really know. | |

Also considering he's 4th or arguably 5th choice if you count Hall (lol) in that position, it's a bit unfair to criticise him too much. Cameron had a number of poor games in that position imo before it started to click. [Post edited 29 Dec 2018 21:02]
