I don't have any problems with Mike Beale but don't give me any excuses tonight Mike for not getting a result against Huddersfield.
Salter Peters is not being selected on ability, his first half performance lacked leadership.
Nobody attacking the ball from either of the two Central Defenders?
I think we really fortunate to have a Coach of your quality at the club, but tonight was not god enough. |  | | |  |

Might be a good idea to dig out some old Lee Cook videos of how to unlock deep sitting defence.

i thought he was spot on after the game, dreadful defending from set pieces and they put bodies on the line to stop us and did. So annoying, I've run out of swear words |
I think he was right too. If we'd put our bodies on the line to stop the first goal, the chances are we would have scored a second and kill the game. Several of our players on the line admiring the goalscorer as he has a free shot.
We shouldn't ever have given them the chance to park the several buses they put in front of us.
I think he forgives mistakes but not losing because the other team tries harder. |  | | |

Didn't see this post but you've called it 100% right,
Tonight was not about poor finishing as poster above said but timid u23 academy type football defending in the 1st Half by us and proper Championship defending by them in the 2nd Half.
Although we helped their 2nd Half defending and allowed them to reset their defence and crowd the box by slow build up play and Chair taking too many touches and running head down when in possession (difference between a £3/4m player and a £7/8m player imo but let's not go there today as yet again showed courage and real desire for our team which hopefully rubs off on Clarke Salter). | | | |

Don't think Huddersfield were that poor just had more physicality about them and a very good keeper. We are a good team play some nice football but lack the physicality and clinical ability up front to win games consistently. I thought last night was the opportunity like the Cardiff game to have Sinclair Armstrong, storming at the centre of the Huddersfield defence, not a game for flim flamming about with the ball outside the box. Chair was very frustrating last night trying to beat their whole team by himself and failing to pass the ball at crucial times. |  | | |

you would think that with up to 6 yellow cards for them and none for us we could have nicely capitalised on that, and worn them down purely by getting Udders to foul, or ping the ball in at chest height with maximum speed, as the initial reaction would be to defend yourself by raising your hands.
6-0 on cards last night and we didnt use that advantage. |  |

They should have got more cards. They worked out what we already know that Gavin Ward is a weak, pathetic little man who lost control of the game in the 55th minute.
He waved play on over 20 times last night, did f-all about it and then only added on 5 minutes.
But his pathetic, worthless presence should have been negated by taking that shite team to the sword last night.
Still fuming. |  |

Anyone know why Armstrong wasn’t involved last night?
Can’t be fitness issues as he only played a couple of minutes on Saturday. All a bit strange. |  | | |

I have no real sympathy for QPR's players or management last night. Scoring after 90 seconds, a good team goes on to win that game comfortably. I was reading comparisons with Warnock's great time 6 weeks ago when we were top - well Warnock's team would have dismantled that Huddersfield team with plenty to spare.
Instead, we gift them 2 really really stupid goals, then had no idea how to deal with 10 men sitting behind the ball for the next 60 minutes.
West Brom at the weekend are clearly a better team than a bottom 3 side now they have a proper manager and will/should fly up the league now. Huddersfield were absolute garbage and we still couldn't win.
Lots of talk of "I want to play/coach in the Premier League". Well, talk is cheap, you need to be able to back it up with actions and games and performances like last night won't get you there for sure.
I said when the whole Beale/Wolves saga unfolded that at that point Beale hadn't actually had to deal with any real adversity where performances are bad/crowds are on back/form is bad and show he can deal with that and get things turned. Well, now is his chance to prove what he's got in that regard...
(Don't get me wrong, I am not being fickle enough to start the old "Is Beale all that...?" BUT...this is a new situation he's got to deal with and show he can deal with if he really wants to get to where he says he wants to go.) |  | | |

Me too. I usually get over defeats fairly quickly, but last night is still nagging away at me. Think I'll go for a long walk😉 | | | |

He won't get to the Prem with QPR, we simply do not have the squad or mentality to do it. But like you, I am interested in how he deals with his first set- back. If he can get us knocking on the door of the Play-offs...I think he will have proved himself. The response on Saturday, performance rather than result...will tell me more. | | | |

That’s very harsh on both Chair & Dieng imho. |
At times in that second half, for all the huff and puff, Chair was the only one going past people and making things happen - yes some of those things didn't actually happen but we were relying on him far too much to create something rather than moving as a team.
Huddersfield were camped on the edge of the box and we're just standing there staring at them or recycling it back and round while Ilias tries to get through - it's bound to break down on a regular basis.
Albert I thought did really well constantly looking to put crosses in and be positive. I'd have liked to see more overlap between him and Laird though, who is quicker these days anyway. Earlier in the season Laird getting into the box was a big source of creativity for us but it seems to have dried up last few games along with the goals. |  | | |

Mick Beale
Jake clark-Salter
Frustrating, poor balls into the box, slow build up.
We all knew we would loose to 23rd & 24th. New manager different players same old same old |
Lose not loose.
Hugely frustrating, but solvable. We have a very capable side but we need more aggression and determination when out of possession. We are simply not winning enough first or second contacts.
Teams are scoring too easily against us and then shutting up shop and defending for all their worth.
For the first 10 or so games we had the best record for not conceding in the first 15 minutes. We now look utterly vulnerable in the first 10 minutes and it needs to stop. Chasing games after conceding is not a recipe for success. | | | |

Not a lot you can do when three of their six yellow cards were pointlessly shown after the 89th minute, all for persistent timewasting. Either do it half an hour earlier so they won't do it the rest of the game or don't bother. Typical piss weak performance from Ward the referee. |  |

Fairly clear that we do fine against teams that want to attack us and as a result leave space that we can exploit with our neat passing and speed.
Teams that are physical and want to sit in and defend are a different matter. When the game becomes physical and slow we definitely seem to have trouble breaking them down. |  | | |

Jeez,if we decide to f*ck things up we really do it. When will Dieng decide to stay on his goddam line?That's twice now.
Teams have got us sussed,score early and put 9 behind the ball and rely on breakaways.That decision not to sign a striker in the transfer window has really come to bite us on the ass.
The Blessed Neil always stockpiled strikers.
Fed up now,can't even be bothered to go and pump out the septic tank. |  |

I said at the time that I thought it's actually better for him to stay and experience his ups and downs at QPR rather than jump straight into the Premier League. |  |

Opinions eh.
I though Chair and Andomah were our only viable outlets all game, and taking either of them off would have worsened a already bad situation. Not sure who would have come on for them from the bench tonight.
Willock had a unusually quite game. [Post edited 8 Nov 2022 23:45]

Willock's nowhere near fit IMO. He's running at half-speed, looks like he's playing well within himself, not getting involved in challenges, and fading badly in the game.
Before he got injured he was looking like the second incarnation of Sir Les, holding the ball up and bullying defenders way bigger than him and outpacing everyone.
Hopefully post World Cup he'll be back to his best. |  | | |

I thought he (Salter Clarke) was good tonight 🤷â€â™‚ï¸ [Post edited 8 Nov 2022 23:40]

Salter-Clarke was great, but Clarke-Salter was poor. He offered no resistance or leadership against set pieces and hit quite a few stray passes.
It's all fair and well having a cultured left foot but as a defender you're there to defend first and foremost. Dunne may be a tad more agricultural on the ball than Jake, but QPR looked far more solid defensively when he entered the fray.
The holy grail is a central defender who leads, puts his body on the line, and can bring the ball out of defence. However, if you can't afford a player with all of those qualities than I'd rather sacrifice the latter. Macca had a fine career focussing on defending. [Post edited 9 Nov 2022 13:21]

We lacked three things tonight.
A Clint Hill, a Shaun Derry and a Danny Shittu. |
The team is lacking know-how and mental fortitude. There's currently a lack of determination to win first and second contact when defending set-pieces. When the team does go behind, some players forget the very things that brought success in the first place. Suddenly crosses are being hit from deep, shots are taken from distance, and players attempt to take on teams single-handed.
There's a saying in golf; the most important shot is the one immediately after a bad one. The great golfers recognise that they can't change the past, so they put it behind them and focus on executing the next shot. Similarly, this team needs to understand that sometimes mistakes happen, and things don't go your way. It's how you react to adversity that's key. Stay in the present, maintain your composure, and remember what got you top of the table in the first place. | | | |

If anyone seriously thinks team will be in the top six by the end of the season then you need to give your heads a shake
We have it seems a good manager in the making and a very decent one to eleven but when you have the likes of Amos, Shodipo, Bonne , Dozzell , Nico and Thomas as back up then that where it starts to fall apart |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

firrstly we are playing some good football, attacking at pace but struggle to break down a physical, team defending 8-9 in a back line. we resorted to long shots , sometimes we had 3 players on the same wing? so less in the box.
we needed to be cute, slide the ball to feet into the box and any contact= penalty.
we have lost at home to 2 of the bottom 3, not good ,
but are playing well. goalie stay on your line at set pieces. and take our chances. 20 odd shots on goal FEW on target, | | | |

If you are losing to the bottom team on your own pitch , how do we expect them to play ? instead of coaching sessions ‘playing out ‘ how about some on breaking teams down . It’s ok having a whizz bang coach but adapting in games is part of managing the team and IIMO he has been wanting a few times this season . |
Glad to see you’ve been observing all his coaching sessions! |  |

Good reaction save Mr. James.If he has time to think about things he goes walkabout and lays himself vulnerable to lobs and deflections. | |
