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. |  | | |  |

We lack a hard bast#@d who isn't afraid to not only put his body on the line but also grab his team mates and tell them it ain't good enough. The sort of bloke I dont want my daughter to marry. |
So not Sam Field?... | | | |

Exactly. We are too nice.
Absolutely, no intelligence on the pitch last night, no-one at the ref demanding he deal with the time-wasting, playing for yellow cards against the oppo, making them make mistakes, playing for free-kicks or a pen.
After 50 yrs of watching last night was it for me - I'm done! A nice club going absolutely nowhere. |  | | |

Sam Field seems to do a great job beside someone like that (currently Stef I suppose if/when fit) but he's not at the stage of being that type of player yet I don't think.
Not to say he won't be in the future. |  | | |

I too found that one of the most infuriating and frustrating experiences in my 30 years of support. There have of course been worse performances, results, defeats, moments. But the combination of our attitude, the sheer stupidity of so much of our play, and that snivelling little cnt with the whistle, has flicked a fcking switch in my head as well. Bring on the World Cup break. |  | | |

A good player who I'm sure would get excellent grades in his Accountancy degree, and I would happily let my daughter marry him but.......
I want a Roy Keane, Steve McMahon or a Viera. They are called winners and absolutely hated losing.
This past month we have watched teams bully us (including Wigan), and they look like losing doesn't hurt. Oh well, never mind always next week attitude.
I expect a player in Blue and White hoops to go out and die for that shirt, not this shambles.
This is Beales team, his backline and he is coaching them. Let's see if he is now as good as he says he is. Post World Cup could be interesting as it could go toxic quickly. If you talk the talk you better walk the walk. I still think he will, but a major clear out in January is needed, past the 12 or 13 first steamers the rest are League 1 at best.
Rant over. Yet I'm still bloody annoyed with last night. | | | |

We’re 6th in the league in November. Granted we’ve had a couple of poor results recently but I suspect most of us would have taken 6th at this stage if offered at the start of the season?
I agree that last night was frustrating but let’s try to keep it in perspective. Hopefully the players will use the frustration to give the loyal R’s travelling to Coventry another away win to remember ahead of the World Cup break. |  | | |

Aside our current inability to defend set pieces, the concern I came away with was the lack of quality and creativity to unlock Huddersfield's defence.
In the second half in particular we seemed to have just two approaches, crossing from out wide or cutting in to shoot from outside the box. That's okay but the quality of the crosses and shots was lacking. And, we did not capitalise on the few balls that did get through the melee of bodies.
Could the players not see we needed to do something else? I guess Richards provided something different but still it was to no avail.
I think Beale's list of things to fix got longer after last night. |  | | |

And how would this "major clear out" work?
Who / where are the willing buyers for those we deem not fit for purpose?
Do we just rip up and pay off contracts? |  |

Think as always we missed Stef not only for his dictating of play and set piece ability but for his in the refs ear chirping as it was noticeable last night as Huddersfield were shithousing their way through the second half with the ref palpably doing nothing to stop them not one Rangers player was talking to the ref to point out just how long they were taking over every restart of play. Now it may have made no difference to when the ref finally decided to caution for time wasting but think without Stef and Charlie QPR are back to a bunch of very nice lads who cause few ripples and make things easy for refs. | | | |

The perspective is...we lost at home to the bottom club. We have been doing it for years now as well. Losing winnable games at home, puts pressure on the away trips. I would have been disappointed with two points from the last two matches, but to get nothing... is a kick in the teeth. Only one goal as well. | | | |

Fair enough it’s a poor run of results and last night was frustrating but imo it’s not time to panic. Overall it’s been a good start to the season.
Sheff Utd lost at home to Rotherham last night after beating Burnley 5-2 on Saturday. It’s an unpredictable league and has been for years.
Our position in the league table is a better benchmark of progress than one or two results. [Post edited 9 Nov 2022 18:35]

I'm not in a great place at the moment and can't be bothered to get angry, but even so, I'm a bit taken aback by some of the vitriol on here: 'shambles' 'most frustrated in 30 years' 'they should die for the shirt' (really?), hints that they don't care. Maybe they were just acting when several collapsed in utter despair at the final whistle.
Essentially, we lost because of poor defending. That allowed Hudd to have two solid lines of 5 and 4 on the edge of their box. At any level, that can be very hard to break down - we did something similar at Norwich, albeit defending higher up the pitch. It's incredibly annoying we lost these last two, I thought we'd probabkly lose to Albion, they're a sound side who now have a proper manager, but thought we'd win last night. Which, despite everything, we should have done comfortable. Almost the entire game was played in their half. It was frustrating, we should have won, but a shambles? Or 'woeful' I heard on my way out? That's losing 6-0 to Newcastle in a game you weren't in. Or losing on pens to Vauxhall Motors. Or getting gubbed by Fulham (again).
Let's try not to lose our sh!t, eh? |  |

Lets not forget, at Birmingham, Dickie got booked for complaining about a foul from the Brum player who should have had a 2nd yellow.
I also seem to remember the same ref booking Seny for time-wasting in about the 70th minute in a game last season (can't remember which game though) |  |

As always Clive, you have captured the feeling far better that I. I almost had an Arthur from Eastenders moment last night - honestly!
Now that my blood pressure has returned from the solar system, I am some what clearer in my deductions. That performance was so fecking STUPID. I've seen Beale's post game interview and he looked peeved. Hopefully the whole squad got both barrell's this morning. | | | |

Agree. If anything we were trying too hard. 36 shots is ridiculous. We needed to show some patience and savvy. There is a distinct lack of experience in this group, in both age and games played at this level. We have good players, many of whom are still very much on the development curve, but as a team they will learn a great deal from this chastening experience, as will Beale.
It wouldn’t surprise me if we go and win at Coventry, as we have the ability to do it.
It was seriously frustrating last night and like everyone else I went to bed seething, but it’s gone now and we move on. There is still much to like about this team and I genuinely believe we will bring in a couple of reinforcements in January and push on.
The Richards cameo bodes well and was the highlight of a now forgotten aberration.

All of this and what Antti said too.
I don't really get why people were so angry. Disappointed, yes, and maybe frustrated. But I reserve fuming for the Assou Ekottus of this world who don't care and don't try. We should cut some slack for a side like our current one who lack a bit of guile and nastiness but mostly try their hearts out.
36 shots is not the sign of a group of players that don't care.
I do worry a bit about the set pieces though. We lost on those at both ends. Why were they not primed to attack the ball for both first contact and second ball? Why did we put in such lame corners and free kicks, and lack any movement in the box? I think Beale has to take some responsibility as the opposition manager clearly had got his side organised on this. They knew exactly what they had to do, and then sit back and stand in front of us for the next seventy minutes. I'm not sure if maybe against this kind of team we don't need elaborate tactics, which might confuse things. Stick to two or three messages. Oh and don't ever resort to head tennis which only ever plays into the oppos hands. |  | | |

a number of championship teams have a large physical presence. We have the centre backs, Field and Dykes, which gives us an immediate problem at set pieces, imho. But the failure to react to the second ball goes beyond that. There were a few things Tim did, and didn't do, on Tuesday which showed how young and inexperienced he is, but we know that. I think picking Albert, or keeping him on for so long, was a mistake, he wasn't bad but his main target was monstered in the box. I think, with Stefan injured,we needed to go to a back 3, give us another body for set pieces, push the wing backs up and give the centre backs more confidence to step forward with the ball. | | | |

Most sensible and compassionate thing that's been written about this week's debacle for me. We tried too hard, if anything, where we should have been working the spaces and margins with more intelligence and devilry. Spot on re the set pieces, but we also need a warrior in the middle of the park and a central defence that can/will (i) put its head in and (ii) bring the ball out. (Apparently, we haven't had a competent striker for about 28 years (let alone, god forbid, play with two at home) as (i) FFP rules that out and (ii) there's no one out there.) |  |

Well I agree with this, and Antti's post (sorry things are sht for you atm mate), even though I'm probably one of the 'vitriol' posters on this thread.
There are a few reasons that all came together at once to make Tuesday feel more frustrating than normal - and I say this while agreeing with you that they're certainly trying, in fact a couple of them are trying too hard if anything, so you can forgive a lot.
1 The refereeing was a big part of it, and the fact that having been 1-0 up and then conceded two off set pieces we left ourselves open to them and him doing that.
2 The missed opportunity. Huddersfield, this Huddersfield, at home with a one goal head start, how do you like them?
3 Huddersfield were/are crap. They were wide open. West Brom fair enough I thought they looked decent and are in a false position, Huddersfield are dire. They lost their best players in the summer, they had 10 others injured, they conceded after the first minute. I just cannot get my head around how you lose from there.
4 The stupidity of some of the stuff we did. The amount of times Chair, Willock or Albert held on and held on and held on, tried to dribble around three, four, five opponents, trying to shoot themselves, shooting from every greater distance out. The one in the first half where we cut a ball back from the byline into a prime shooting place and there was nobody there, then in the second half we do the same thing and Chair and Tim tackle each other.
5 The little 1% bits. The chance in the first minute they had is from Chair trying a fancy, no look, flick pass in his own half to begin the game. That's poor. I like Ilias but stuff like that doesn't impress me at all, oh it's only Huddersfield we'll be alright. Tim walking after that ball second half as it drifted out for a Hudds corner, presumably he thought it was a goal kick, which of course they nearly scored from because it's a bloody corner. You've got to be more switched on and concentrated than that, and we weren't.
I'm not saying it's the worst defeat ever, worst performance, not trying, don't care, because I don't believe any of that. But I was annoyed, more annoyed than usual, afterwards and I don't blame other people for feeling that way. People can trot out "no easy games in the Championship" if they like but that's as easy as they do come, and if we'd played properly, if we'd played as we did against another crap side in Cardiff, we'd have won 3-0, 4-0. | | | |

Agree with all of that yeah. Paal seems to have been able to continue to get forward but Laird less so. I noticed MB said that he doesn't want to change formation because it only takes him to lose one player and he'll have to change it back again - I think he was referring to 3 at the back.
Am sure there's more to it but that doesn't quite seem like enough of a reason for a team with our resources - if you can do it and it will help give it a go shirley? Not that 3 at the back is the magic bullet but just the reasoning seemed a bit odd. | | | |

No panic from me. We are a tough gig, and I expect MB to be given plenty of time to make us harder to beat. My concern, and it is only mild, is that some of the old bad habits are starting to re-appear. It is so hard to be upwardly mobile as a club, if you are so inconsistent. This is mostly Mick's team now, but he needs a proven striker like MW did before him. Until then I reserve any judgement on his tenure. | | | |

Fair enough it’s a poor run of results and last night was frustrating but imo it’s not time to panic. Overall it’s been a good start to the season.
Sheff Utd lost at home to Rotherham last night after beating Burnley 5-2 on Saturday. It’s an unpredictable league and has been for years.
Our position in the league table is a better benchmark of progress than one or two results. [Post edited 9 Nov 2022 18:35]

That Sheff Utd result was truly bizarre. Think a lot of teams(us included) underestimate Rotherham. They are having a good season...so far. | | | |
