| QPR pay a heavy penalty against Millwall as cup woes continue – Report on 18:17 - Aug 9 with 7426 views | Wilkinswatercarrier | Can't argue with any of that. Just a split second quicker across the pitch and a lot of teams will struggle against us, and you could see we were trying to move Millwall around. Quite a few players, not only Burrell, seemed to be playing within themselves as they return from injury. Madsen and Poku definitely. And Charles makes a huge difference, just got to catch it. |  |

| QPR pay a heavy penalty against Millwall as cup woes continue – Report on 18:50 - Aug 9 with 7248 views | Wegerles_Stairs | Let's see. Big game next week; a team who we expect to be down the bottom of the league but also one with a fanatical home support and who will be very physical. I thought Dunne, Edwards and Kemper were our best players yesterday and they will have plenty to do next week. I'd love this new play-off-chasing QPR to get the season off to the perfect start with an away win in front of a large travelling support but yesterday makes me fearful of deja vu. A physical side getting on top of us and sending crosses down the throat of our diminutive keeper. Like I said, big game to set the tone of the season. |  | |  |

Got to agree on Kemper, got something about him. Loved his roar for a simple shepherding out and got in their faces at corners etc. That's the attitude we need more of. |  | |  |

| QPR pay a heavy penalty against Millwall as cup woes continue – Report on 19:42 - Aug 9 with 6934 views | JamesB1979 | I was reasonably positive yesterday despite getting knocked out of the cup. Millwall were missing some players but that was still a strong side. Kemper will not face many better and did well. Kone and Burrell are clearly 2 of our big strength for the season but that doesn’t mean we have to play both every game. Against the better sides, I think 1 up front and we don’t need to make Burrell play in an unfamiliar position. He’ll have plenty of opportunities. That’s why I’m pleased we seem to be signing a big strong winger who can create more from out wide. Question is Stephan going to just play one of them against some of the stronger sides? |  | |  |

Gave me Mark Dennis vibes. Just without the two footed challenges. I like him. Got a bit of a mouth on him as well as he didn't just roar at the Lower Loft, Azeez got an earful as well. |  |

| QPR pay a heavy penalty against Millwall as cup woes continue – Report on 19:50 - Aug 9 with 6895 views | ArvoSturm | Think Alfie Lloyd is being hard done by here. He did more in 20 mins than Kone did in 70. Lloyd's pace and strength single-handedly won us the corner from which we scored, bouncing one of their Big Dog CBs off him and nearly the other. Yet you dedicate a critical flourish to him. Unfair, I reckon. |  | |  |

Yeah. He looked lively, as he always did, but seems to have added a little more focus and discipline to his undoubted energy. |  | |  |

Am I right in thinking your reference to us "signing a big strong winger" refers to the Wimbledon lad, Junior Nkeng? If so I'd be very surprised if he went straight into the first team. At 19, he's only had one season with Wimbledon in L1. If he is signed, I'd expect him to play in the Dev squad. |  | |  |

I completely agree with your score for Chair, who I love by the way. And he’s been out for the best part of two seasons so we need to cut him some slack. However he cost us that game. Goals change games. Before the keeper howler a guilt edged chance and he butchered a five yard pass to Kone. Then one on one with the keeper and no defender and he doesn’t score. Then a truly awful pen to set the tone in the shoot out. Poor. |  | |  |

He's only in the team or even still at QPR due to the ongoing issues with Kolli and Obikwu. Nice lad though. |  |

I’m more inclined to think that Kone was too slow to get to the pass. That guy simply cannot sprint. Lloyd gave us some much needed pace and power up front that Kone simply doesn’t possess. And Kone’s first touch is hopeless. I know I’m in the minority, but I just don’t rate him. Will probably get another 10 goals this season because he can finish, but watching him lumbering around fouling everyone he comes into contact with, frustrates the shit out of me. Chair didn’t have his best game, but he was still better than Vale. Vale’s set pieces were shocking and his propensity to disappear for large sections of the game is very Dozzell like. |  | |  |

Our 'deminutive' keeper is 6'1''. At 5'8" I'd love to be that 'small' |  | |  |

I agree, gave us a lot more energy at the top end of the pitch and certainly occupied yhe Millwall defenders a lot more than Kone. His persistence earned the corner too which led to the equaliser |  | |  |

'We need to cut him some slack but he cost us the game' - interesting interpretation of cutting him some slack. Chair didn't 'cost us the game' any more than Charles did - in fact he salvaged it and can add yet another assist to his collection. His penalty was poor, no question and he is undoubtedly rusty after 2 injury ravaged seasons. But he us still our most influential player and once he gets a run of games, will play a significant role in our season. |  | |  |

| QPR pay a heavy penalty against Millwall as cup woes continue – Report on 08:14 - Aug 10 with 5116 views | thehat | Thank you Clive - Bang on the money as usual and a great write up. Quite funny that I also described our performance as "All foreplay and no penetration" on our Group WhatsApp after the game. Kone and Burrell need to share the one up top position if that is how we are going to play. Kone does 60 minutes then Burrell comes on and vise versa. Don't want to see either of them in any other position this season. And as much as I love Chair he continues to frustrate and could become a problem child in this squad. |  | |  |

100% agree, don’t think he will get much gametime but if he does then I.m fine with that. O.O.O.O. |  |
