Ainsworth post-match 18:24 - Sep 16 with 1290 views | stainrods_elbow | https://www.qpr.co.uk/videos/0_s1v4hvar Predictable, manic, and straw-clutching for me. If 25%-odd possession at home, two shots on target, and no corners, whether with 11 men or 10, is 'improving', I only wish I could be at the fans' forum as I'd gladly have the argument all day he's offering. Talking about how Armstrong isn't getting a fair deal from refs is dismal and will do little other than play into the player's petulance and immaturity that he showed today, which made me fear for a second red after his stupid yellow. Here's a thought, Gareth - try getting Smyth to cross a ball to him occasionally, or get another player within 40 yards of him. Sunderland were the better side - well, he got that right at least. It's going to be a different story on Tuesday, he promises, against Swansea who've yet to win a game - gulp! I'm glad he's confident! [Post edited 16 Sep 2023 18:51]

Ainsworth post-match on 08:16 - Sep 17 with 907 views | Monkey_Roots | I don’t think it’s enough just to say ‘whether with 10 or 11 men’… that extra man is so important to any team, and it’s Colback, who is so important to us. It was early, so you forfeit all that possession and chances. It’s disingenuous just to say ‘look at the stats’ without making any kind of allowances for the red card. Did he get the tactics wrong after the red card? Maybe, yes. Is he a hard watch after a win, draw or loss, definitely. Just don’t keep glossing over the facts to suit your chosen narrative. Things have been more positive of late, but even that doesn’t change the fact that before a ball was kicked, we were fighting the drop this season. If we go down, we go down fighting and working hard, which they very much did today. Obviously it’s not where we want to be, but we are. | | | |
