Morgan has his moment but home win continues to elude QPR - Report
at 13:04:04

Clearly a very disappointing result but after our woeful first half performance it was a decent point that I couldn't see us getting at half time.
In my 55 years of watching R's I've seen some dismal centre forwards but, oh my God, I can't recall ever seeing a more inept and disinterested performance than that from Celar. It was shamefully awful.

Colback's grand arrival not enough to prevent latest QPR defeat - Report
at 11:01:11

Great report Mr Paddox, very close to the legendary standards set by CW.
Much improved performances of late but, to state the bleeding obvious, we need points not "we worked hard and deserved more" stories. Will we have a player whose goal tally reached double figures - doesn't look like it at the moment.
Let's give a shout out to Kakay, he may get caught out a bit too often (as does the otherwise impressive Smyth) but he never gives up and always puts in a really good shift. He's one of ours and I hope he continues to learn and improve,.
Also like the look of Kolli and love his brillo pad in a body scanner hair. Hope he moves his game forward over the coming months.

We've got our Rangers back.
So pleased for Drewe and to see Kakay playing so well is really satisfying. What a great performance from Sam Field.
A pal of mine's father died last month. His name was William Temby, he scored for the R's when we beat Watford 4-2 at Vicarage Road on 23rd February 1957. He'd have enjoyed this game.

The only god thing about recent months is the quality of your match reports. Certainly look forward to them more than actually watching the game.
Given our (ex) manager is a one of only 14 EUFA Elite coaches he doesn't seem to comprehend our weaknesses and find an alternative system to play to our (limited) strengths.
Many years ago I used a transport company called Elite Coaches - maybe NC got his qualification there.

It's way too easy to pick on one or two players in a dodgy bunch but Dozzell has been a huge disappointment. He's had plenty of chances to show what he can do but simply hasn't made the step up from League 1 to Championship. Useless.
Tim Iroegbunam looked a good prospect but his recent performances has been pathetic.
Who will be next throuh the revolving door ?.
Gaz would be mad to leave an improving WW. Wilder has been mentioned but, hey, look how it went for him at Middlesborough.
I reckon Derry would at least fire them up.
Please God not Nathan f......g Jones !!

Last second heartbreak for vastly improved QPR - Report
at 10:27:00

Loved "flapping around like Christ in a crucifix shop".
Gutted at the late equaliser but hugely encouraged by a vastly improved team performance.
Plenty of good performances but it was great to see Ossie Kakay play so well, he's an ex Acadamy player and has been with us for not far short of ten years, he's our player and whilst he struggles a bit at times he showed tremendous spirit and good ability, was really pleased for him.
Sam Field continues to be the understated star of this team.

Rangers stumble and fall to poor Baggies loss - Report
at 08:59:57

Certainly was a miserable afternoon. We expect so much of Illy and Willy and when they get blocked out we have next to no creativity. The bench was utterly underwhelming.
A quick check reveals that so far this season Dykes has been on the pitch for 1322 minutes and (excluding penalties) scored three goals ie. a goal every 440 minutes. Whether that's because he simply isn't very good at being in the right place at the right time or the crap service he gets is open to debate but goes a long way to explain why we're so toothless in attack.

Another great report that perfectly summed up the game. The season is picking up nicely and Beale is impressing me more as time goes on.
Can anyone tell me why Jimmy Dunner took off his black armband and chucked it on the floor halfway through the first half, hope it wasn't an anti-monarchy thing.

A joyous result. One swallow doesn't make a Summer but this new team are beginning to move solidly in the right direction.
Illy and Will were superb but, as you say, so were many others.
Ily is such a clever player, even the great Stanley Bowles wouldn't have seen the keeper on one side of the goal and aimed for Sieralta's back.

Insipid QPR, out with barely a whimper — Report
at 18:48:01

OK, I didn't attend the game but after well over 1000 games in 55 years I feel I've seen plenty of situations to give me a feeling for where we are now.
In the s..t just about sums it up.
To be so ineffective and clueless as we were at the 365 when there was the outside chance of a play-off - God forbid. The failure to get even one shot on target is simply abysmal. the players and Warbs should be ashamed of their performances over the past couple of months.
Warbs keeps warbling on about fine margins, youngsters (what youngsters ?) small squad, injuries blah blah but absolutely nothing changes. We got lucky against Blackpool and Derby and it only papered over the very obvious cracks.
I really, honestly, want Warbs to succeed but if he stays then what is going to change ?. We clearly can't splash big cash.
The forward line doesn't get much service but no-one will convince me that Dykes, Austin and Gray are anywhere near good enough for Championship level. It's painful to watch them. And don't get me started on Kendrick and Sanderson.
Sadly I am fast running out of patience with Warbs and many of the players turning up these days. Even when we were being hammered in our three season in the Prem we weren't as pathetic as we are now.
This season is thankfully nearly over, just start premature worrying about next season !!.

But she just smiled and turned away — Report

As all other posts say, there's no real shame in being beaten by a clearly better team. Fulham pass the ball forward with speed and precision, we pass sideways and backwards and painfully slowly.
Despite only being one goal up, Fulham were cruising and whilst we we technically still in the game with a shout it was hard to see where a goal was going to come from. It was a very harsh pen but, as someone else said, we'd have been ranting if we'd been denied a pen in that situation. Warbs's rant was understandable but what went on in the previous 80 minutes cost us the game.
The biggest disappointment for me is the remarkable downturn of Johannson. He's a shadow of his former self.
It grieves me to say it but Charlie is a complete nonentity. Way past his best, it's quite sad to watch him trying to run these days.
Absolutely no point is sacking Warbs. Whether he, and the board, can recover the situation next season remains to be seen. I hope so as I for one still hold him in high regard.
Will we beat last seasons total of 68 points, on recent form it looks unlikely but, hey, lets try and retain a bit of positivity.

Imagine if we won - Report

Barbet gets bludgeoned after 60 mins. You can only wonder what he said to Warbs when it was, as no doubt it was, suggested that he'd be subbed for Ball. No way was he having any of that. A truly magnificent 90 mins from Barbet and a great comparison to Gorkks and Macca. Dunne also superb, like his namesake he's a heroic warrior.
OK, so Charlie isn't close to being as effective as hew was a few years ago but he does strike fear to any defender inside the box. When it went in it took me back to Jamie Mackie v Liverpool. Fantastic.
Yes, the crowd has been a bit quiet recently but the ground really came to life. What an atmosphere.
Great game, great performance, great report.

Archer save moves QPR into fourth round... and a keeper crisis - Report
at 08:09:20

Oh how we miss the skill and threat posed by Willock and Chair. Their absence seems to put too much load on to Johannson and his natural game is being stifled.
I really don't like picking on individuals but Gray is slow, his first touch is poor and he just doesn't look anywhere near good or consistent enough. His finish at Derby shows what he can do but he just doesn't seem able to pose a threat.
And whilst it pains me to say it Charlie really is looking well past his best these days. I love him but we have to look beyond him.
Still, we didn't play at all well but scraped a win.
Another trip to Peterborough, a nice local game for me. Surely we'll be better than the recent defeat up there in the league game.

Familiar refereeing complaints struggle to mask QPR shortcomings — Report
at 08:12:13

Agree totally with Myke. Stroud was awful but not the reason we lost this game.
Fields booking was harsh but not the reason they scored. The failure of four tall defenders to mark a 6'2" striker who has already scored 17 goals this season was the reason they scored, not because we conceded a free lick. If Dykes had scored that goal (as if .....) it would have bee regarded as stunner.
Barbet's aggression to the Bournemouth bloke lying on the floor fully deserved a yellow as did Dozzell's (second) yellow for steaming in. Didn't make any difference to the result as the game was lost by then.
No shortage of effort from R's, just a (pre Albert) lack of creativity and attacking threat. Two shots on target says it all. Cahill was excellent.
Bournemouth looked good in every area of the pitch and deserved their win.
Onwards and upwards, R's will regroup and move on.

A tremendous interview with MW full of passion, common sense and honesty. I don't think us fans fully appreciate how good MW is for our club. Together with Les, Lee and Reuben etc. we have a fantastic up front and back of house team. Players will come and go and results may not always be what we want them to be but these guys are the real backbone of our club and.
The interviews with players and staff are superb, many thanks to all the LFW mob for their efforts.

Nothing wrong with a bit of "shithousery and game management", we can do it as well as anyone else up to a point but Knob Ends approach was pathetic.
The four minutes added at the end of the game should have been at least six but obviously rather glad it wasn't.
To state the bleeding obvious, the goals against tally is worrying.
Is it me or has Warbs has lost a bit of his much stated love for Ossie Kakay.
Nevertheless, this was one of those days when in awful wet conditions our much loved KPR really came to life.
The drive back up the A1 was for once enjoyable.

Kane's miss was bad but we lsot the game because we were really ineffective in everything we did for 90 mins. The shots on/off target don't lie.
Austin and Johansson were really poor, maybe we've psushed them too hard too soon. Trouble is that if we drop Charlie we're back down to Dykes and Bone and everyone (except Warbs) knows what that will bring us !!.
The result was bad enough but the dire performance was a real the big worry.
Can only hope for a Bristol City type performance against Waaahhhllll on Wednesday.

Rangers run ragged by rampant Tykes — Report
at 08:06:09

The recent run was great while it lasted but inevitably had to hit the rocks at some time but I didn't expect it to be against Brum. It's easy to overlook the performances of 'lil 'ol Barnsley but whenever I've seen them they always looked very impressive and this was always going to be a tough game. And so it was !!.
They outfought, outran and outplayed us in every department. Fair lay to them, they deserved the win.
I was pissed off with a very poor performance against Brum but lets not beat ourselves up over losing to Barnsley who are a very good and well organised team.
We ran out of ideas and the lack of goals really is becoming a problem. Dykes and Bonne were bought in to score goals but let's be honest, their record in that department is abysmal. I desperately want them to be successful but let's be honest the signs aren't good. We have no choice but to persevere with them and I really hope it turns round for them but the there's scant grounds for optimism.
It's right that Warbs defends our players in public but I just can't accept that deep down he's not concerned about the clear limitations of some of our squad. I'm damn sure that Les is very aware of their limitatons !!.
I continue to support Warbs but wish he'd should stop his "three games in eight days is tough" line after very game. Yes, it is tough but it's tough for everyone including Barnsley who didn't seem to have a problem despite having a small squad.

Thank God we picked up loads of excellent points last month or we really would be in big trouble .
Keep the faith !!

QPR head to Wembley after Birmingham semi - History
at 11:09:35

The Birmingham semi final was memorable for me.
I first went to Loftus Road in 1961 but wasn't really into football so don't really remember that momentous occasion.
My old mate Bob Izzard (are you still out there Bob ?) suggested we go to the Birmingham semi final and of course the Wembley final.
50+ years and 1000 home games later and I'm still there.

We rode our luck against a very good Blackburn. We weren't great but every one of our guys fought and battled so well. I'm no expert of formations but the 3-5-2 really does seem to work well for us. Let's give a good word for Wallace who played well and looks a better option that Hamalainen .
Travis clutching his face when he was hit in the chest by Charlie was truly pathetic and certainly worthy of a yellow.
