Unbeaten away, struggling at home 12:56 - Oct 10 with 1398 views

Struggling to assess where we are.

We are unbeaten away because that defensive nucleus of Dunne, JCS and Ronnie in front of Prince Charles must be as good as any in the league. Really superb, and in turn protected by Madsen and Kamara who is a revelation in being able to get us up the pitch.

Smyth is also an unsung hero at just driving us forward and relieving pressure.

If we can get draws at the likes of WH and WBA with the occasional 3 points away at teams we get on the break that is more than good enough in terms of away form.

But I honestly don’t know where we will pick up enough wins if we can’t beat those “lesser” teams at home when we have more than 50% possession.

Will enough goals come at home?

We are creating chances but maybe our strikers just not clinical enough?

Can Madsen recapture a bit of that sparkle from last season and really boss a game?

If Chair comes back and Poku continues to grow, might we be OK?

At around the 10 game mark am cautiously optimistic, even excited, but I can’t honestly predict where we finish with even vague accuracy.

Yeah it’s definitely becoming an issue. Major hype over the dramatic comeback over Preston, but in the cold light of day , two points dropped. Ditto Bolton . Give us those four points and it’s a different perspective on our home form entirely. Yes, you can argue that West Ham is a point clawed back that we didn’t expect and possibly WBA too. But most successful teams have a strong home record so we need to improve that quite urgently - beginning with Derby hopefully

I think the goals will come at home if we keep creating the chances we have so far.

Though a bit of an exaggeration to say Wednesday is a crucial game... it is though a very important one.

Only one win in 6 games with 4 draws .... we are really in need of a win Wednesday

The injuries certainly are not helping, but even with the injuries our play should be getting us wins rather than draws.

I'm really hoping that finally we click against Derby and get the goals our football deserves. Anything short of a win and I think the confidence may just start to falter a little

No win in five but there’s a weird positivity around the place.

One day we’ll find a reincarnation of the goal machine Andy Thompson
If we had a striker in hot form this first quarter of the season we’d be top; sadly we lack some finishing guile.

Need it on Wednesday

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

Does seem like a pivotal game. Another misfire and we'll be back in mid table. We're not really doing as well as 6th might imply.

Poll:

QPR to finish 7th or Brentford to drop out of the top 6?

Yes, I'm hoping we can make the stretch for a new striker in January even if it means we have to sell to finance it. Unfortunately injuries are also beginning to make us look short in both senses on the wings.

As QPR crises go, this is surely the best one we've had in years! Totally agree with you David: keep on creating chances and the goals will come.

LR is a small ground, easier for teams to park the bus, so yes, we need to figure that out. But let's hope nappy wetting fans don't manifest their angst by getting on the team's back when it's not warranted.


Poll:	Who should do the Birmingham Frederick?

This is a very good point on the tightness of our pitch, we do at the moment seem better away from home on more expansive pitches. Much more space to play in, whereas at QPR you have to move the ball quickly when in attack as the narrowness allows players to get back quickly and squeeze the play more. Although to be honest other than against Cardiff we have not yet got that valuable goal ahead which is so important to us kicking on at home.

The pitch has nothing to do with the results.....it is our own inabilities.
