They started well, and we found it difficult to deal with. I’ll argue that with our best out there, that we are a match for anyone in this division. We were so short of our ideal line up, that our chances were horribly limited today. It’ll be ok, but we need a full squad and plenty on the bench, which may or not happen in terms of who we are allowed to bring in. Something I don’t understand.
Anyway, hats off to the Coventry fans today. That was fantastic support.
Great grin on the fun bus, despite the result.

yeah Coventry fans superb, they don't seem to like us do they, never heard so many anti qpr songs at a game since we played Brentford
Thought we made it far too easy for them inh the first half, got better as game went on but never really looked like scoring
Second goal was clear handball though in the build up |  | | |

Yes, thought blatant handball right in front of Stroud,
Dickie had almost equalised just prior and we had been on top for whole of 2nd Half prior to that,
JCS seemed at fault on both goals (including Laird for 1st), small margins with a fit and tenacious Paal and Tim providing energy and running absent with Dozell and that would have been a different game. |  | | |

Wasn't Stroud. Some other geezer who was a late sub. | | | |

Embarrassing today
Don't care about losing but ducking tackles and barely bothering to run is a disgrace only Dykes, Chair, Dunne and Dickie got above 5 today
Laird, Dozzell and Clarke-Salter need to have a hard look at themsleves | | | |

Clarke-Salter was clearly injured at some point leading up to their second goal. I thought he did OK prior to that, especially as he was playing out of position.
I'm not big on second-guessing the coach though the subs did seem late. Kakay and Shodipo did seem up for it, and might have made something happen with a bit more time. | | | |

Hopefully the WC break now allows us to get everyone fit, regroup, and get going again in Dec with a home win v Burnley first up! | | | |

A very QPR away performance, for me lacked any real conviction, all seemed to be going through the motions, except Jimmy Dunne. Credit to Coventry looked very good and deserved their win. |  | | |

For the first goal, JCS looks to be more worried about a potential run behind him then the actual threat, which is probably what you get with a centre back playing out of position.
The lack of leadership without Jojo - Warbs reasons for bringing in Hendrick suddenly become clearer. | | | |

I thought Dozell had a decent game. I agree with another poster that Shodipo and Kakay had good cameos as well. Teams were fairly even on most stats, just shots and clearances where Coventry were much better than us. | | | |

Dozzell was fine, he ended up spending a lot of time sitting deep on the left to support Clarke-Salter which limited his impact on the game but showed that he’s willing to sacrifice his game for the teams benefit. I suspect he’s better in a 2 than a 3 in CM. |  |

Agree. Their defence was able to stop our attacks before we got a shot away, ours wasn't! | | | |

No. We were second best all over the pitch. They dominated the game and were well worth the win. We look a shadow of the side we were just a few weeks ago. [Post edited 13 Nov 2022 15:53]

They dominated first 35, we controlled last 10 in 1st half and first 30 minutes in 2nd Half until great save from their keeper to keep at 1-0, quick counter-attack, blatant handball not given in move and Clarke Salter out of position, ridiculously late and unco-ordinated substitutions and game-over.
Difference being they had more players joining the attack when they dominated, playing in 3's and 4's, we had set pieces / corners in the 2nd half where we had 4 players in defensive positions covering 1 attacker, with Lairds pace this should be a maximum 2 on 1 allowing Dunne etc to push up for set pieces,
Too cautious, missed Tim breaking the line (as opposed to Dozell sauntering across it) and Paal's tenacity, as opposed to Clarke Salter's casual approach (Kakay showed more intent and did more attacking in last 10 than CS all game) with Paal we maybe don't concede definitely the 2nd and imo the 1st goal too.
Fine margins but thats one's on Beale, as if Clarke Salter was struggling with injury / whatever, should have been switched earlier so we dont concede such a poor 2nd goal, as Balogun was taken off the other week. | | | |

Should have started Kakay as replacement for Paal rather than Clarke- Salter. Beale did the same with Balagun at Luton and Kakay came on. Kakay is much more in tune with playing wide defensive roles and he is a real tryer, personally think he gets a bit of a rough deal and deputises very well when called upon. | | | |

Think that actually the problem though, he rather play better players out of position, I have read people saying left it too late with subs but come on imagine standing there wondering how to change it and you look round and see Thomas , Nico , shopido , and Kakay , and wonder how those four will change anything . I mean poor old Nico a left back is sitting there watching a CB plod along get injured then brings a right back out of position. The only two out the 6 was Albert and Armstrong let’s be fair both are not gonna do much , ones in my opinion struggling and the other a naive kid who needs a lower league loan . So really what can he do . | | | |

Agree.That is a very realistic and thoughtful analysis of the situation MB finds himself in. Been like that before him as well. Not an easy gig managing QPR these days for sure. | | | |

I get your point, but 0-2 with 10 to play, would you not:
1) Go two up top and ask Sinclair to play off Dykes shoulder as no-one had picked up any of his knock-downs up to that point
2) Risk bringing Nico on as poor as he is defensively he can travel with the ball and cross, which was needed on what seemed a big pitch, then asking Field to sit in with 2 CB's so Nico and Laird could push up and help Adomah target Bidwells lack of pace
3) Bring Albert (or Mido) on for a tiring Willock (or Chair) so keeping the shape as close to possible (4-4-2ish / 4-2-2-2) and trying to exploit the flanks for near post crosses for Dykes (which he attacked in the 1st Half so why all the crosses again well past the back post!) or the quick through ball for Sinclair
Just seems we got stuck between two ideas / formations in last 10 where we got behind them better but had no-one in the box to get on the end of it. | | | |

I watched it on the stream I actually think he thought you know what take the lost get Willock , chair , dykes and richards off without further injury and regroup after the World Cup
Could be wrong but he took off those 4 players off to protect them . | | | |

You could be right as those changes don't make sense to me otherwise,
But we played far worse at Sunderland for 85 minutes and got a draw from the 85th minute,
So disappointing he did'nt at least leave Dykes on to help Sinclair, as playing Sinclair as your lone striker given his limited game time and experience to date is not fair on the lad imo. | | | |
