Report | Queens Park Rangers v Luton Town Your Report added by Geoff78 at 10:02:03
A difficult game to sum up. Chances for both teams, Rs edged the first half but conceded too much space in the second. They seemed to lose confidence after the equaliser although Luton had caused problems before then. We gave the ball away too much and stopped making tackles.
We were lucky to get the win, although with better finishing we could have scored 4 or 5. Frey's goal via a handball (I haven't seen the replay yet) and a freakish second suggest the football gods were on our side for once. Luton had 18 shots to our 15. Once we lost control of midfield Marti was slow with the substitutes. It was crying out for more energy and mobility up front once Frey tired and more aggression in midfield. Colback's experience was useful though he was some way off match fit. Lloyd was excellent. I'd have considered bringing him on against Watford ahead of Kolli as he has more physical presence and runs at defenders with strength, although Kolli may be more skillful.
This wasn't one of our dreadful performances but not as good as the Watford game. The ref let a lot go though I thought he did for both teams so maybe even handed, but there were some incidents I'd like to see again.
Hard to pick a MotM, maybe Morgan deserved it from Sky, or Dunne. |

Well that game showed us why big Les,Onuachu Sulemana etc were not selected regularly by Martin Not one Saints player came out of it with any credit
As for our tactics.Can anyone tell me what formation we played or what plan A or B was
Ivan Juric I have found out is Italian for Nathan Jones At least under RM you could see the we were trying to play Now we just play get the ball away from me football with no interest as to where it goes or to who |

Embarrassing seems to be the word for the day and I can't better it for a description of that performance.
Much has been said about RM but today proves that he isn't the only culprit for this fiasco of a season. Our transfer dealings in the summer were abysmal - the ownership seems to have thought that we could survive with a second division quality squad. Until we have owners who are less clueless I would suggest we might as well stay in the second division. |

Brentford won at a canter and didn't even need to get out of 2nd gear.
Faster, Stronger, Better Set Up, Better Organised and wanted it more.
We didn't turn up for the 1st half hour, but still managed to gift them the opener with a sloppy pass and after that it was just a question of how many.
Piss poor defending throughout and nothing up front. My daughter said she could have played in goal for Brentford today and kept a clean sheet.
Sugawara off the bench to gift the opposition a goal once again FFS.
Don't know where we go from here, especially when you hear THB telling the Solent listeners that we were set up to win the game today !! |

We don't have the personnel to compete in the EPL, and today it was made worse by the obviousness of our being in between two managerial systems. We didn't look like much of anything—save for cannon fodder. |

Embarrassing indeed! Other than perhaps Ramsdale and Dibling, no one showed up for work today. Very worrying - the lack of on field leadership and any new manager bounce. Getting worried now that we will “beat” that Derby Co. record …
