Digested listen: we matched them for endeavour and didn't deserve to lose 0-3, we played well and got into good areas, but we didn't get the rub of the green, crosses didn't fall for us (and sometimes weren't good enough), but he's not disappointed by the spirit shown. He say s (correctly, I suppose) Seny diodn't have a lot to do, but then conveniently overlooks we had a pathetic ONE shot on target all game.
If thsat's us doing our best, and achieving so ltitle, God help us. We'll be in the bottom three by March.
About the only thing he said I could make sense of was our not doing the basics in either box, and therefore losing. Why didn't he just leave it there and stop trying to polish a turd? Then I rembebered - this is pro football and LR is a citadel of lies, weasel words and half truths.
But apart from that - seriously? Sincerely? We've supposed to take encouragement from that. I mean, f*ck off already!
My bad evening just got even worse! Only at QPR! [Post edited 29 Dec 2022 21:44]

Quite! What counts is to go one step further, examine our complicity in these sickening insults to our intelligence, and demand something different. If the players can't hack the truth about their failings, and somehow expect to be treated (like a few seem to think here) as if football were fundamentally a more unaccountable workplace than any other in the real world, they can and should be exposed and/or offloaded. To quote John Sitton, good players want to be good players all the time - they don't play half-decently one game and like c*nts for the next three!
The problem, as I see it, is how little self-respect modern fans have, and how willing so many are to collude with cynicism and media spin of the most abject order. I don't want a genial woodwork teacher managing QPR. I want an ego-busting, angry, passionate enforcer of standards and sporting aspirations, who, broadly, watches the same game as I do while having half an idea how to handle the defects, which is what he's paid for. If any of this makes me 'old-fashioned', I thank god I am, and pity the rest. [Post edited 29 Dec 2022 22:07]
