Reply | QPR v Fat Frank's Lady Godìva first eleven match thread
at 02:09 12 Feb 2025
I'm loathe to call out individuals as we were unable to, or prevented from, organising any co-ordinated pressure in their end. Chair, Saito and Smyth never pressed as a unit as they had against Blackburn. Consequently Frey, who essentially is an "inside the box" striker, had very little to work with. Similarly our back line and DMs never seemed as comfortable as they did last week. In short it was a team loss. We need to learn from it. |

A knock-on of having Chair in the middle is that it enables Saito to track back and support Paal on defence, which he did really well in the first half (not so well in the second when he gave away the pen!) Still that's something Chair never seemed comfortable with, consequently Paal seemed a better player last night than in recent matches. |

I just don't get why Madsen has seemed so unwilling to do what it takes. He's really blown a chance here, because if you look at where we are despite our appalling start to the season you can see that thee's plenty of potential here but he's p*ssed away the chance to be the main man in this side.
I doubt he's "unwilling," he just doesn't play the game that way, and probably can't. The Championship is pretty high tempo, as upper level European leagues go. A player like, for example, Smyth does well with a relatively minimal skill-set, but likely wouldn't crack on in the Portuguese or Dutch leagues for example. Madsen is the opposite. |
