Comment | Everything but the goal – Report

When Frey is fit I’d really like Marti to play him alongside Celar. Maybe with a bit more confidence from those 2 goals and his 2 good shots on Saturday, Celar and Frey might just bloom together. Wishful thinking |

Comment | Celarbrace drags QPR’s team, fans and striker back from the brink – Report

I’m really pleased for Celar and great to see the support for him by all the players and Marti after the whistle.
But we were dominated by a very poor team and it’s only thanks to Nardi that they didn’t score. I think part of our struggle is because for most of the game we seem to play with only 9 players. Without the ball Celar and Madsen are barely involved. I only wish the coaches could sort this out. |

I feel for you Clive, not just having to sit through this but then relive it to write such brilliant reports.
I couldn’t believe the hiding which was so blatant. But, though I’ve been impressed with Morgan, he was as culpable as Varane and Madsen.
What I don’t get, is that we can see this and the slow play and the backwards passing and the lack of movement and the indecision and not bothering to press, so why can’t the huge back room team who are analysing it?
And someone needs to tell Celar that you can’t win an aerial dual if you’re always looking at the player instead of the ball. |

Agree with all your points Clive. So depressing to see our central midfielders hide week after week.
Two things I’d add that really frustrate me. The poor quality of our shooting compared to every other team who comes here. Our few shots on target are tame and the rest are just wayward. We could have been 2 up before they scored but we just balloon shots into the stand.
And why can’t we take a throw in? This has been going on for ages. We might as well let the opposition take it. It just shows how casual we are about looking after the ball.
Don’t the coaches see any of this? |

I’d love us to have signed Hayden but not at a price, wage and contract length which we’d come to regret. Which I think would have been the case.
I agree with everything you said about the performance. Madsen and Anderson are looking much too soft centred and can’t play together. |

After all the pain you’ve endured and had to write about this season Clive, I’m really pleased we’ve all had the chance to read such a joyous report by you. Summed it all up perfectly.
It was my 65th birthday on Friday, couldn’t ask for a better present, especially under the lights and on Sky. |

Clive, Rayan Kolli’s been unavailable for ages. Has the club said what’s wrong with him and when he’s due back? His last contribution that brilliant cross to the far post for Smyth to score seems a long time ago. |

Saffa if you travelled from the Isle of Wight to watch that, you should have a stand named after you. And if Marti can keep this bunch of players up, without January reinforcements, he’ll be a miracle worker. |

Thanks for another excellent report Clive.
Re the lack of pace, I’d like to see Smyth given a go on the left with Armstrong on the right. From what I’ve seen so far I don’t think Armstrong is a striker, think he’d be more effective as a winger.
Denham is spot on about our one footed players. I think it’s unforgivable that they can get so far as a pro and be incapable of using their weaker foot. If their other foot is that bad they should be paid half as much. |

Thanks Clive yet again for hitting the nail on the head. I find it depressing enough going to all the home games so bow down to all of you putting up with it away week after week.
In the decision to rescind Begovic’s red card, why wasn’t Bamford then awarded a yellow for diving? |

Comment | Rob Dickie’s M4 odyssey — Column

I think your point here is going to be a key problem this summer …
“Given that the train wreck of 22/23 has so far resulted in absolutely no changes to the management, board, recruitment team or business side of the company, it looks like it’s going to be the same people overseeing that massive overhaul.â€
I cannot understand why no-one has either resigned or been sacked. |

Spot on Clive with all your assessments (and for all of your excellent articles throughout the season). You deserve a medal from the club.
I completely agree with this … “ I’m genuinely surprised we haven’t seen some quite significant staff changes and departures at the end of this season. I can’t believe nobody’s resigned.â€
Who is taking responsibility for what’s gone on and what on earth are the board doing about it? |

Clive thanks for explaining the accounts. Our financial position is desperate but, is it any worse than the clubs around us who have similar size grounds and attendances and who don’t have parachute payments? Do they also rely on their owners bailing them out each month? |

“QPR change managers all the time, and nothing ever really improves, because the manager is not the problem.â€
What bugs me most is that under Warburton we did improve and, as I understood it, he didn’t want to leave. I know he also had bad runs but we seemed to be in a much better position before the board pulled the trigger. |

I thought that all those years of being ashamed of our overpaid couldn’t care less players had gone. I was wrong. They may not be paid as much as Bosingwa and co but the attitude most of them showed stank and is completely unacceptable. And that’s without starting on rank incompetence. |

Great article as ever Clive.
No-one’s perfect but it will be a miracle if we get a manager as effective and likeable and as good at improving players as MW. He also made it a joy to watch the team something we’ve sorely missed since Neil Warnock’s promotion team.
I think the board have made a huge error which we’ll all live to regret. |

Good report as always Clive and great to hear such support for MW, I hope the board take notice.
To your list of underused but committed players (Dozzell and Thomas), I’d add Dom Ball whose work rate and desire are second to none. I’d like to see him get some game time in the remaining games. |
