I have hardly hid that I'm not convinced at all by this manager, but, surely, people will agree this interview is just so deflating. Just repeats his 'we have to learn' mantra, without giving any insight at all into WHAT we - and as importantly HE - is learning. His inability to even acknowledge the collapsed 2nd half and self-defeating backfootedness that in the end handed Wrexham the game is seriously worrying. He just looks in a comfort zone to me and speaks in the same cliches again and again.
We'll see what Coventry brings next time out, but 'I think it will be difficult for the players' is hardly fighting talk, is it? How does that rally anyone? I wouldn't back him to 'find a solution' right now if a memo reading 'this is the solution' were taped to his head!
Meanwhile, I've given up asking for standards because this coach, and this club, just don't show me any.
Hope everyone goes out tonight and does lots of enjoyable non-QPR things. [Post edited 24 Jan 18:56]

Great post. He's the Emperor's New Clothes for me. People keep saying we have loads of injuries but we didn't have them at half-time against Leicester. The sensible thing would be to take some players (like Burrell) off when you're 4-0 up and they might not have got injured further down the line. Rather than building on that game, he p*ssed away all the momentum with his tombola selections over Christmas and here we are. Going nowhere once again, playing awful football most of the time and still as soft-centred as ever.
The suggestion was that he was a yes man from the Plymouth game and that's still what I'm seeing. He can't be blamed for the incompetence of the performance guru or the cluster f*ck of the goalkeeper situation this season (sorry, however much people might want it, Walsh is not Championship quality) but he's complicit as he's dependent on Nourry for his position. I can't see us getting anything from the Coventry game which will make that Charlton match very interesting indeed... |
I feel his in game management is so poor. So many subs he makes are pre-meditated. I could have told you at 3pm for example that Morgan would be hooked at 60 mins for Hayden. See how the game is developing and then make subs for Smyth and Mbengue who were looking red cards with this ref. Hook Kone earlier because the bloke can’t run. He looks very unfit to me, but that’s another story. I know Frey is not everyone’s cup of tea but with Burrell out injured he would have been a nuisance in the last few games. Now he’s not even on the bench which makes no sense. Bennie does not look ready for this level. Kolli is so inconsistent. We sign that lad in the week and he’s not even on the bench with our injury list. We then have the Edwards situation. How is a bloke supposed to to get match fit if you don’t play him? He’s not going to get fit running up and down the touchline of the pitch. It’s so frustrating we are going into the Coventry game with so many injuries to key players. Few weeks I would have fancied us against them. Next week could be another 4 or 5 with the players available unless 3 or 4 bodies come in this week? |  | | |

Mentioned this in the other thread, but we used up all of our windows so couldn't make any subs at that point. You get 3 windows which we used at 64, 74, 82. |
Thanks for this - I have to admit I'm not getting to many games this season so I've 'missed the memo' on this. What are these substitution windows and how do they work?
Would be good if someone could explain because fans are clearly raging about not subbing on Edwards on 89 mins? We should be told etc.. | | | |

I think MadBen’s yellow was in the first half, so Edwards could have come on in any of the windows - theoretically. |  |

Maybe I’m not up to speed with the changes but how does this account for, at best, making a sub for unforeseen tactical reasons (such as player already on a yellow and starting to lose their schit, or one given a yellow and you want to pull them off, a sending off or scoring/conceding a goal) or at worst, a player injury? |  | | |

Perhaps we can pay someone to pull Madben off before every game so he can relax a little more.
I’m not sure what the going rate is anymore, but I’d imagine £50 a go would be money well spent. | |

Which is what I mean: We never learn what he's learning - or, indeed, if he's even learning anything.
It would be lovely to have a club interviewer who actually asks the manager how he's getting better and how he assesses his own performance, but I guess it's more important to feed him leading questions like 'is it now very important to clear our heads and look ahead to Coventry?' that let everyone off the hook!
And then people wonder why we're so inept/mediocre, week after damn week! |

So what to say about this abject surrender.
Dembelle is not good enough and lazy
Morgan is way out of form
M Bengue is thick as shit
Julien needs to take some of the blame as he keeps playing players who are not up to it. How he didn’t take Morgan off after 20 mins baffles me and Dembelle should have gone with him.
Where were the older experienced pros at the end to take control
I would rather we put out some of the younger players than some of our current team.
Positives, Madsen
Ref definetley favoured Wrexham with decisions and did affect the out come of this game. I will save you trouble of scoring him Clive, he was a 2
How you can allow their right back to audition for WWE time and time again and consistently foul Smyth and not even book him I will never know. Still he got the result he wanted so all good.
Thanks QPR for farming up another Saturday | | | |

Yeah, JS boxed himself into a corner there. Game 3 of the week so surely you manage the 3 windows to use all 5 subs and leave yourself the option of using the 5th late in the game. | | | |

I'm not sure what you want him to say after a game like that. I thought he was right in what he said, we were excellent first half, not good enough second half but did well to get back in front then last 4 minutes was idiotic. |  | | |

Disagree his analysis of the game was spot on to me.Rangers edged the game till the last ten minutes in a tight game.Wrexham have a way of playing when a goal behind in the last few minutes .Everyone forward in a game of dare.It meant they controlled possession he edge of the box .We had ten men-spaces opened up.
They executed it well, they have spent well.But do not over react.
Injuries are the issue really….. | | | |

In response to Loftus also, you can only make 3 stoppages for substitutions, only exclusions would be half time and concussion sub that wouldnt count towards the sub windows.
If you used all 3 and had a player get a leg injury for example, you're down to 10 men
We planned around this in the Wednesday game for example as we had to make an early sub for Burrell which meant we were at 1/3 windows used. We then made a double sub at half time which meant we still had 2 windows for the 2nd half. Yesterday's game I don't think they were planned as well at all | | | |

I've kinda got out of the habit of listening to manager's pre and post match interviews.
Stopped when Gareth was the gaffer and tried a couple of times with Marti and Julien, but the shite they come out with sometimes is just too much. |  | | |

Make your mind up. You want the older pros on or you would rather have the young players.
The older, experienced heads were on at the end. Ultimately there was a mix of both, which is as is should be given our squad make up and injury list.
We didn’t defend as a team and paid the price. | | | |

....but you've missed mine, which is, if you know that, then why the need to comment and come over all emotive, when the questions and answers that you desire are not forthcoming?
Surely, you must realise it's highly unlikely to change. | | | |

Because, let me spell this out, (i) he's our manager who articulates the culture of the playing side (i) it needs calling out by people of passion who refuse BS, and (iii) I'm old-fashioned and don't like being treated like an idiot.
Would you like me to come up with some more reasons? | |

He's another phoney. Blow me, we've been suckered by another smooth handsome charming dark haired bloke who talks a good fight but ultimately does not understand what it takes to successfully negotiate a Championship season.
He's never going to succeed in the EFL, sooner he's gone the better. I guess that'll be summer but maybe sooner if the current form goes deep into February.
It's bloody galling cos this is the weakest Championship we've seen in years and a massive opportunity to finish in the playoffs has been missed.
Yesterday was an absolute masterclass in how to lose a game of football, ticked every box needed. BUT, that was just the cherry on the cake in terms of a dire 10-game period that contains several right stinkers of games. | | | |

Lose on Saturday (which is pretty likely) and that Charlton game starts to loom very large. Friday night on Sky, big away support for a London derby, Kelman and Dykes with something to prove, Nathan Jones being Nathan Jones. I wouldn't want to be putting in another crappy away performance.

The Edwards thing is starting to be a bit of a worry .
Spoke to a mate yesterday who said “well, he just can’t be ready”
I just don’t buy that . You can’t be on the bench for 3 matches and not be ready to play .
If we don't see any sign of him on Saturday with Mbengue missing , it will become a real possibility that he wasn’t wanted by JS and he is leaving him out in some sort of of deliberate stubbornness.
For the record I think he will play Saturday . He has to, surely ? |  | | |
