No way we are making the play offs. Our form and confidence has fallen off a cliff. |  |

We are so-so a mid table team, honestly we really are. |  |

It's been deeply frustrating the last month or so. We've gone from a team with real intent to one content to just rack up 70% possession without offering any threat. It's really hard to put your finger on any one reason why the form has collapsed which makes Warburton's task of arresting the slide very difficult. The warning signs were there in January when we were winning matches we didn't deserve to win but, still, the difference between this team and the one that finished the second half of last season so strongly is significant.

The wheels seemed to fall off with our January “addition “
Don’t know if this coincidence or what.
But no denying that since the Reading game we have been extremely lucky to have earned the points we have.
Our form has fallen off a cliff. Watching all the games (albeit on tv) every team seems to want the ball more than us. Are stronger than us and want to win more than us. It’s like QPR think that the tippy tappy mostly sideways possession will on it’s own make us winners. It doesn’t. |  | | |

The form seems to have slid since players 'came back' from AFCON and perhaps us a little bit too much rotation. Plus we have had some lengthy injuries and the introduction of Hendricks, as good as he may be, seems to have put the team's nose out of joint. Amos simply needs to play. Losing Charlie, Dykes and Johansen again with such regularity seems to have taken its toll. Shame, they had worked so hard to get into the top 6 and they are really looking like they will fall away. Warburton perhaps needs to see if he can stick to an 11 for a few games and dig a few results out. Again, a shame after producing such a good team for the first two thirds of the season. We had countless chances to cement this and blown them all so far. |  |

Agree. Hendricks has added zilch to what we already had. Sick-note Dykes and a completely shot Austin have finally caught up with us. A real attacking, dangerous player would have given the rest of the players and supporters a real lift. Even Chair and Willock seem to have realised this. They have carried the strikers for too long and have probably had enough. | | | |

Call a spade a spade, Bosh. Only two players went to AFCON and one was a keeper who has nothing to do with our forward play, and whose understudy was here whilst he was away when we won 5 from 6.
Our form drop coincides with one player’s return. He’s a talented player, but it’s no longer just a correlation; the sample is too big and trend too stark. |  | | |

Sadly this season does seem to now being the reverse of last season bad then good and now God then bad. Just feels like it is fizzling out which seems to afflict us once we reach 50 points. I just can't see us winning many more matches looking at who we have left especially away to current form sides Huddersfield, Sheffield, Forest and Luton, all the proverbial 6 pointer games. Quite honestly I can see us losing at home to Peterborough if we don't get out of this malaise. |  | | |

Blimey. I've always thought Chair was a bit over-rated from what I've seen of him...but never suspected he was the main culprit in our decline. Would MW drop him? For a team so lacking a cutting - edge, that would be a huge gamble. Play Thomas instead for a few games and see if anything changes maybe? Glad I don't have to make these decisions 🤔 | | | |

You're going to keep peddling this nonsense after every poor result, aren't you? Do we need to get the finger puppets out?
It. Is. Costing. The. Owners. Over. £1m. A. Month. A. Month. Every. Month. To. Stay. In. The. Championship.
They want us to get promoted. Understand that and move on.
It's natural for you and all of us to be upset at this ongoing poor run though. |  |

Not sure we can blame the teams recent form on one player - several of the team seemed to have gone off the boil recently |  |

I think you are misunderstanding what I meant or more likely I didn't articulate it very well. Like others I can't really put my finger on it. I'm not blaming Chair or Hendricks or anyone. For some reason the confidence and belief seems to have ebbed away over the last 4+ weeks. The team has changed players for various reasons from what was a fairly settled set up. Now it feels disjointed and the belief has (at the moment) gone. The lack of real fire power threat seems to be a real issue now. Dykes has a lot of injuries, Charlie seems to really not be himself after the loss of his grandmother and perhaps Gray doesn't have enough minutes and perhaps also thinks, well I'll be out at the end of the season anyway. Too much, as someone else has said, is being put on Chair and Willock. It's been a very tough time and they don't as it stands look like they can lift themselves to grind matches out. | |

I'm not. It was Hunter who suggested results have nose-dived since his return - which is something which hadn't crossed my mind. Hunter is only making an observation though. We are all looking for reasons for this reversal of form. I think are problems are more than to do with one player mind you. Win together, lose together. | | | |

Gifted the game to a team who had nothing to play for.
My take on Hendrick is a player who could make 100 passes with 100% accuracy and not a single one of his passes would make a blind bit of difference to the game.
Warburton wanted more time on the training field, he might as well take them down the pub. No drive, no risk taking, only intention was to pass our way from side to side and hold on to a 1-0 win.
What was it, 4th against 19th? Abysmal. |  | | |

Thought Cardiff's No 27 Rubin Collwill looks a very good player, lovely free kick to score their winner. Shame we dont have anyone to score one like that, another Barbet blaster again to injure the crowd in last minute |  | | |

Ok but I think you'd agree it's not Chair's fault. If he is part of the decline it's how he's been used and the pattern of play that we've dropped in to on his return.
I did think he came back in a bit automatically to a winning team having hardly played for 6 weeks, which could have caused problems, but that may be bordering on Heat magazine stuff.
Either way Ilias isn't the problem, he's a gifted player we're lucky to have, it's how he's being used if anything. | | | |

Again, that boils down to character and leadership. When QPR win free kicks around the penalty area, Chair and one or two others have to have the minerals to tell Barbet "Monter votre vélo". | | | |
