Left 15 mins early. Never done that before but towards the end of that 1st half I had what alcoholics refer to as a moment of clarity. Why am I sitting here with all this leg room when the two blokes either side of me have quite sensibly decided not to bother?
For all our decent effort and fragile positivity in the first 20 minutes all it took was for them to push their right back up on Illy and we were done. At that point you've got the wrong formation with the wrong players flailing about against a team that's not interested but may as well beat us because it's that easy. And Rob Dickie wasn't even the problem.
442 with no pace on the right (but he's staying), good bloke-but-supersub at best Chris Martin lumbering around up front, Amos holding the fort beside Field - in what universe is Amos one of a 2 in a 442? Did you agree to this Dobo?
Not much chat between players, quite a lot of arguments. Lowe when he came on didn't track his marker, didn't beat his marker, but watch him in the training video and he thinks he's the dogs bollocks.
The one bit of proper quality I saw in the second half was 'JCS' dummying the ball very nicely and slipping it to Willock who flicked it effortlessly with the outside of his boot to the left wing - and they can both fcuk off and stay fcuked off after this season as far as I'm concerned.
Anyway |  | | |  |

Season ticket holder for many years.
I left two minutes from the end as I chose not to clap the players and staff because it would have been hypocritical.
I am personally not renewing my season ticket next season.
Am going spend more time with my good lady and may pop down the local rugby club also and basically enjoy my weekends etc.
I will go to a few games here and there but not enough to warrant a season ticket.
And with the economy in free fall, I can't justify the outlay to get up London so often.
If by some miracle at Christmas we are doing well, I will buy a half season ticket.
But with the style of play, the lack of effort, and a need for wholesale changes we can't afford, it looks like more of the same.
If you have Dixon Bonner on the bench at least give him a few minutes on the pitch. Decisions by Ainsworth have been questionable.
We have been very lucky indeed not to be relegated.
Not a great time to be a Rangers fan. |  |

I stayed as did quite a lot in the SB stand but very few in SAR. Applauded them because (a) I think there are a few like Field and Dykes who deserve it for their effort, even if the results have been poor (b) we probably won’t see many of them again and the likes of Chair and Willock have given us some great moments over their QPR careers |  | | |

It's true but Willock can bvgger off. Ainsworth shouting at him to close a Bristol defender down, there's no way he couldn't have not heard but just ignored him. That's why he's become a bench warmer |  |

Been bringing my son for the last 7 years or so, ST holders in upper loft. When my 15 yr old lad says we shouldn’t bother renewing I think that’s about us done for a while. I suspect quite a few will be doing the same, I’m sure we’ll end up going to games every now and then but this season has really done it for us both. | | | |

Thank gawd It's over and by over I mean the season that's all, It's now that the hard work starts wholesale changes can be a disaster and not always the answer but someone (I'm not sure who) need to get the necessary people around the table PDQ and get a plan of action up and running as a minimum and get on It now not next f ucking week.
The football we are being served up Is not acceptable , on the odd occasion I can put up with the shithousery as and when needs must, I'm watching players who sometimes dont look like they know what's expected of them either that or they are bloody thick or just plain and simple useless after all.
We are either gonna see huge changes at the club In the coming weeks or unless I'm mistaken we are going to be In serious trouble next season which Is almost stating the bloody obvious.
I'll pin my flag to the mast without hesitation and say that Ainsworth Is not the Man for the job, nobody would be happier than me to be proved wrong but that's how I see It. |  |

I agree - he has been worse than useless in recent games and I will be glad to see him go if we can get almost any amount of money for him. | | | |

Yes agree it was very poor today surprised no changes fir the game. Once the first went in heads dropped. Second goal terrible defending. Thought decent shout for a pen on Dickie think we still would have lost. Zero shots on target tells a story. Thank god the seasons over | | | |

I haven't seen a lot of the football since GA arrived, but I am starting to hear a few alarm bells now. I just hope it is these players that are the problem, so that is a boil you can be lanced. Next season won't be pretty for sure...but just being harder to beat would be a start. Massive summer ahead. | | | |

Thing is we are not even remotely competitive , yes a lot of blame for the players but jeeze that set up, yes we were ok for a bit in the first half but truth be told we never actually ever seemed in control of the football, half chances at best. Thanks Gareth for getting us over the line but really no thanks if this is what I am watching next year.
I think we can all see the crash coming at us, unless he’s off to a flyer we will have a dozen new players and a new manager which does not want them by October |  | | |

As it was only our third game of the season decided to hang around just, if anything, for my boy to see the players a bit more close up.
If I had have to seen a whole season of that I’d have fked off right on the final whistle.
Sat in the lower school end just behind the goal and the second didn’t look like a corner to them and potentially offside for the goal but no hiding how poor we were.
Highlights of the day…. my boy having a good hour or so in the powerleague site before the game, the applause on 14 minutes, seeing a Bristol flag being pulled down from above, Millwall naffing it up at home on the last day and the whole Reading 6 point thing put to bed as it’s Cardiff that benefited, embarrassingly, in the end.
Roll on next season.

Like others and want Ainsworth to work and today was the day to try a different set up and see if some of our more skilful players could indeed work in a more attacking formation.
But nothing so GA has already alienated several players who could have been attacking threats for us if he was less rigid in our systems.
The praising of Albert, Martin and Johansen, suggesting all would be kept on for their leadership qualities. Unfortunately with all three father time has greatly reduced their abilities to a level below the championship.
But the not bringing on Dixon Bonner, that was criminal as far as I am concerned. Would have wound the lad up no end and was dreadful management skills. If he had him on the bench, don't bring Dozzell on, give the lad his moment. That decision alone was shocking and with this crap system if okay in a dead rubber again, that's massively poor vision and management.
Today was an opportunity not taken. [Post edited 8 May 2023 22:46]

Sick of this team and the whole lot can go no exceptions. Just because we stayed up doesn't mask how terrible we have been. The home record is a disgrace and today was the same old garbage. So soft and delicate with barely any resistance and attacking prowess on a par of a gnat facing a herd of rhinos. All hope lost thanks to this mob. |  | | |

Accurate summary! Disappointed with line-up. Wasted opportunity. Dixon-Bonner has looked good on few occasions I've sen him for B team or as sub. Why not give him a go. Pointless bringing on Dozzell and Johansen. | | | |

I never leave before the end. Just like to see the full 90 whatever.
But I do normally stay for a friendly clap off the pitch, but not today.
Last week at Stoke the fans gave everything- but today the players etc did not.
I'm already worried about next season. | | | |

I also can't understand this. Dixon-Bonner has have been a sub for close to 8 games & has probably not had as much as 15 minutes on the pitch.
It may be that he isn't good enough, but how will we know unless he is on the pitch. We've seen more than enough of Dozzell & Johansen to know that they are not good enough either!
I thought we had a 5 minute period in the first half where we looked better, but that was it. The rest of the game we were every bit as bad as against Birmingham, Wigan etc.
Now I'm looking forward to the excitement of finding out how much they are charging me to renew my ST. I will do this, but only because of meeting friends that I've made through watching my club. It certainly won't be because of the football on display. [Post edited 8 May 2023 20:26]

To be honest I wasn’t paying a great deal of attention to the game (brought a friend along to support me through the last 90 mins of the season) and thought it can’t really get much worse than this…Obviously it could and it did when GA brought on Dozzell. For me he is another level of sh1t. Not purposely crap or underperforming like some of the others, who retain a glimmer of hope, but a player that embodies the absence of hope. It’s all gone when he comes on. If there’s ever a time to leave a game it’s when he comes on. You may as well be playing with 10 men. I can’t think of player in recent times that has brought so little to the team, who has such little impact on the game to the extent you actually forget he’s on the pitch. I would love to see him go. I mean literally see him back his bags and walk out the door. Watch it with my own two eyes. Actually watch him do something. If I don’t see it happen for all I know he could be on the pitch next season again and again I might not notice. [Post edited 8 May 2023 20:56]
