You can't build a team in one window. Add to that Chair, Colback, JCS, Paal all being out or unfit / carrying for a large part of the season. If that was last season regardless of Marti we would have gone down. Squad has been well short for a number of years now. |

Morrison has done alright when he has been fit, Varane's been ok, Dembele started great. I think Madsen is a decent player (appreciate I'm out on a limb here) if played in the right position with the right people around him. For me Celar and Santos are the really poor ones, but they look particularly poor because of the lack of alternative. Saito I do really like, his leap for the header at the end was extraordinary like a 5ft 4 Les Ferdinand Salmon style leap |

New manager is not going to achieve anything. I don't place accountability with him for where we are. This is the result of a number of years failure in the recruitment space. And tbh I'm even willing to cut Nourry some slack he is learning on the job, he's made some good decisions and some poor ones and sometimes things will get worse before they get better and in any job in life you learn more from your mistakes. Is the overall strategy wrong probably not we need to recruit to sell to progress the club. We dont know if the Dykes sale was to fund something else, or because we had FFP issues still The Cannon situation was a gamble that went wrong from last year.
If we are looking at accountability and our issues are fitness and recruitment. Then surely the heads of recruitment and performance have to be the ones that are accountable. But the problem with this club over the last decade has been the constant seeking of the "magic bullet" and their aint one this will take years to turn and every time we reach for the bullet and change it all again we go back to square 1. |

Lol I know Gazza hates stats but they match the eye test, if you look at all of them we are up there for shots, shots on goal, inside and outside of the box, on target etc. But they are saveable or blocked. What also correlates between the stats and eye test is that we are amongst the lowest for tackles, interceptions and yellow cards. But highest for clearances, headed clearances, middling for saves etc. Defending from the front and in midfield and scoring goals are the problem |

That's the point with the platform it's decentralised anyone can build an algorithm , or their own version of it. Jack Dorsey the original creator of Twitter set it up for those purposes but left because he disagreed with the introduction of moderation and safety tools as like Musk he has become a free speech absolutist |

Did Marti get booked just after the Pen? |

Smyth did not move for him though, so had some culpability - They were both very poor yesterday |

Dunne and Smyth gave the ball away more than anyone Ashby was 5th highest completion for all the QPR starters. Ashby played well IMHO |

Disagree
Made a number of incisive passes that opened them up especially first half. Tackled and won the ball, at least once, made a good professional foul for which he should have been carded. Pressed well. According to who scored highest pass success, of all starters, joint top key passes with 4 2nd half faded a bit. But Morgan was poor in the 10, we lost control for a while which was why Anderson was brought on |

Steiner was decent, scored goals and plenty of one on ones, career ruined by injury, should certainly not be in that list |

I thought it was unsaveable right in the top corner. |

If we were sitting mid table, we would have walked away from that and said good game both teams denied by good saves and could have gone either way.
I think we played alright but we can't finish.
However the Penalty. Now Celar took the ball off Madsen. That is putting the individual ahead of the team and Steve Cook has to take responsibility, he is the captain on the pitch and it should have intervened. Madsen was having a very good game too at 10 (even made a tackle and a foul).
Celar needs to be taken out of the team. He's had his opportunity, let Lloyd have the games until Frey is fit.
I thought Ashby played well at left back and better than Paal who was well off it when he came on.
Dunne is playing at right back like the Dunne at Centre Back. Last season a number of big mistakes. I thought Morrison did really well too.
Smyth drives me to insanity 50% fantastic 50% terrible his decision making is terrible.
I think its also apparent we still have major fitness issues, with too many player who cannot sustain 90 minutes. Saito had another good game but could barely stand after 75 minutes. Smyth and Madsen can't last a full game either. |

None of our issues are the outcome of a single transfer window they are cumulative over a 3 year period. The striker issue has been going on for years and for years a bog standard 10 goal a season striker will set you back the best part of £5m and the academies in this country are not developing strikers just hoards of 10s our FFP position makes it nigh impossible to pay for a striker and everything has to be a gamble either on an unknown or a career resurrection. |

Chair does defend though, the problem was that he was crocked for both of their goals. tbh The only alternative option was to play Morrison which clearly they thought was a risk and move Field out to left back. I'm pretty sure at the start of the season they would have thought well if Paal gets injured we can play Colback there or we could play Field there or at a push we could play Ashby there so we are probably at option 5 with Santos.
The reality is and we can talk about recruitment etc but we can barely cope with 3 or 4 injuries let alone 8 or 9. We have to be asking serious questions about the perfomance team as most of these are muscle not impact, its like 2022 and all the Hamstring injuries |

Not used X for a few days, got a notification on my phone (notifications were turned off for X so something turned it back on. It was some nasty tweet by nobody I follow about Sadiq Khan. And that is exactly why I've gone, even if you try and keep to your "following" feed it is peppering me with just hate filled stuff. I dont need it, I dont want it.
I work in Digital, I walked away from Facebook 10 years ago because I knew it was tracking me right across my digital footprint, every site I visited, my emails, down to where I was going. Here let me recommend the mother of another child in your kids class. Never asked for it, never would. Absolute liberty.
I know about the psychological cues and tricks Insta, Tik Tok, X and YouTube use the ever escalating extremeness of the algorithm. Someone above says they went on For You and it was all good and clean. Yes it would be if you dont use it, it's designed that way. Maybe you think its good and use it some more, and each time it will start to ramp up, and when it does something will catch your eye, you'll pause watch in disbelief as that is human nature and then it ramps it up again and again. That is what they are designed to do. Make you angry, desensitise and escalate because it keeps you engaged.
Musk has taken this and turned it into a propaganda weapon. I dont want it, I dont want to scroll through all the crap to get to the good.
Social media has made everyone more angry, more conspiratorial, more detached from reality. Blokes have to look like a 1980's body builder to be normal. Woman are injecting all kinds of crap into themselves to look like a filter photo. People have lost sense of what is reality, what is truth. When you step back and look at it, it's nuts!
So what I like about BSky is its Twitter pre Algorithm, you can. have algorithms 1000's of them and if someone wants to go and create one that just does QPR and championship club fan posts they can if they have the skillset. The whole point of it being federated is not to be under the control of the whims of the new oligarchs |
