A game that could of turned out so differently if we continued the way we were after our first goal, in my opinion a midfield 4 with Kranjcar in it does not work as he leaves the other central midfielder alone to defend! Positives were Hoilett Traore and Barton all 3 didnt deserve to be on the losing side. Hill won 99% of headers against Pog but left his man for the 2nd, Assou Akotto is prone to errors and clearly does not take critisim well.

Watched the game on a stream. Lively enough for a while but very soon ran out of ideas. No shots on target says it all. Redknapp must know the game is up. He has been found out and it is now blindingly obvious that it was the influence of McLaren which created such false and misplaced optimism. Harry will not find another job in football after this. He has built a team which under his influence has underachieved massively. Poor old Charlie Austin. What has he done? Here's what. He's walked out on automatic promotion with Burnley under a dynamic, progressive coach like Sean Dyche and into a team managed by an out-of-touch, one dimensional manager and his one dimensional coaching staff, and is now staring down the barrel of another season in the Championship. And speaking of proper coaches, what about Uwe Rossler? Wigan are only 7 points behind QPR in 7th and will easily catch them before the end of the season at this rate. Never mind automatic promotion....they're not even going to make the play offs. Then it's goodbye Harry and for my money, let's get Tim Sherwood and Sir Les when Spurs boot them out at the end of the season.

Awful game both sides lack quality. could not understand second half subs......last 10 minutes seemed inevitable they would grab an undeserved winner..... Maiga and Morrison should have scored.. when will we play the same team 2 weeks running..

Firstly, let me say that I've missed only a handful of home games since 1967 and in that time have, with a couple of notable exceptions, always supported our manager and blamed poor performances on the players. But ........
Harry couldn't keep us up last year and, with some justification, blamed the players he inherited but, when you really think about it, he didn't really make any positive impression and we were relegated with precious little fight. He cleared most of the dross out but has brought in another load of big names who well past their best and when you couple this to his illogical tactics I have to ask if we've actually gone backwards or forwards in the past 12 months.
Anyone has a pair of eyes in their head can see that Harry and his seemingly clueless coaching team have completely lost the plot and they clearly don't know what, or who, to try next.
Promotion is clearly off the agenda now and it's clear that if by some quirk of the play-off's we do get promoted, we'll be going up with a worse squad that we have when NW took us up in 2011, this worries me more than having another year, or three, in the Championship.
I suppose Harry will lumber along for the rest of this season and pick up a few wins on the way and he can keep on blaming injuries for what will end up being a dreadful season rather than his awful planning and player selection. Surely he should then go and leave us to start again with a younger and more technically astute manager who will hopefully believe in our youngsters and start building something positive for the future.
A repeat of the recent dismal performances against Leeds and it could get very nasty for Harry ...........
Our supporters and Mr Fernandes deserve better than this !!

Sitting here half an hour into the game, losing 1-0, and there is no change whatsoever to what we have seen these past few weeks. QPR are pedestrian, lacking ideas and creativity, unable to execute. Leeds are pacy, aggressive and direct. We're looking at a heavy defeat...0-3.

A poor start, didn't look like a penalty but seems that Bond says it was.

Overall, thought we were just about the better of two pretty average teams. No outstanding performances, Traore dangerous but gave away free kick, with stupid challenge which led to their goal and missed a chance to put us 2-1 up just after half time. He also picked up an injury near the end which is a concern. Morrison looks promising, if he doesn't go off the rails! Doyle worked hard and looked lively. Jenas had one of his rare decent games. Green saved a penalty but it was a poor effort and he continues to look shaky. Onuoha adds a bit of pace and strong play to the defence. Hughes still hasn't impressed since he arrived. Henry was pretty solid but got a yellow card for a very late challenge when Kebe was going away from goal.

For Leeds, Kebe looks like he has lost his pace since his Reading days and McCormack apart from his free kick, looked pretty ordinary. On this showing, he doesn't look like he has the pace for a higher level.

The five loan limit is a problem as all the fit strikers are on loan and that takes up three of the five. Add in Morrison and it leaves one other space.

Rot stopped. Barton back next week. Hopefully, he can team up with Morrison and we will see an improvement. We need it with four of the next five away!

Again failure to take our chances in front of goal cost us once more. Same story of more than the opposition in possession but nothing to show for all the passing of the ball around.Adam was all class and a sure bet to go to Brazil, we deserved more from this game but sadly we got zip.

Great goal from Jenas -showed flashes of class but was not quite consistent
Leeds looked averge but Wickham and McCormack looked good . Gone are the days when we were guaranteed clean sheets looks like other teams have worked us out or is age begining to tell?
Looked like d apenalty but it ws one of the few mistake Dunne made
Really impressed with Traore and Doyle-like the latters hard work off the ball and won anumber of headers that should not have been his
A second goal ealry in the second half from Traore could have led to all three points but that was the best that it got in the second half
Morrison? Did not show much of the brilliance that I have heard about but we still have a games for him to convince me
Dissapointed -for sure but I still believe in Harry without those long term injuries we would still be in second place
The next few games will be the making of us -play offs look like th ebest option for us

codge got it right. Poor strike force, poor ref, poor substitutions. Not impressed with Lallana's dive in the area, not impressed with Swarez dive over Fonte in the area.
