1 - Our decision making generally has not been good over the past 3 or 4 games.
2 - In attacking situation we must take on 1 v 1 situation more often & better.
3 - We need to get to the by-line and cross, it makes it much more difficult to defend.
4 - Our overall quality needs to improve, quantity is good but quality is better.
5 - Recent goals conceded have been poor and defenders need to get into better defensive positions and attack the ball plus be 'touch tight' with the opposition players. |  | |  |

That is fascinating analysis, we are lucky to get that level of insight, it makes the "experts" on the television look like a bunch of clueless lightweights.
Great work, thanks to all concerned  |  |
| "Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1." |

I have not read this yet but, I think you are spot on with that. However, the biggest problem that causes most of your five is slowness of attack or even transition into attack. I look at other teams and they nearly always have more space than our players when in attack. Simple, they get the ball there quicker. Yes, we can cross a ball or put one in for a player to go one-on-one, but if the opposition have had enough time to set themselves up to defend then the cross goes into a crowded box where there are one or two of ours v five or six of them and one-on-ones become one-on-fours. I am not trying to defend Dykes, but given how slowly the ball comes to him when we are attacking from the back, surely we can understand he cannot help but struggle to do something constructive. Look at his recent goals and almost all have come from quick attacks - the cross from Willock in the 1st minute or that from Ozzy. Get the ball there quickly before the defence can get their act together.
That is, we need to get the ball forward so much faster. |  | | |

Another very interesting read from Dan Lambert. Many thanks to him for taking the time to write this for LfW.
One thing I'd have liked to have read is Dan's thoughts on why our attacking play has rather screeched to a halt after being effective earlier in the season. Have sides really 'worked us out' post Luton as many have said or is something else wrong? |  | | |

There could be a job of Assistant Coach available for Dan soon - in Glasgow. | | | |

Look forward to reading tonight and happy to be proved wrong, but for me, same as drop off last year, the answer is a fully-fit Chris Willock,
Our attack is overly reliant on a fully match-fit Chris Willock, who is our only attacker who has high quality end product,
Willock can beat a man either side, can give & go, can play an early pass or cross or get his head-up and hold until he has an option, and manages to consistently pick the right one of these options, and when he chooses to take it on himself, his shooting accuracy is something else, lad is a level above. | | | |

Also thanks Dan Lambert. And, I'm old enough to remember Dave Thomas with socks rolled down. It's been said before on this board - we need pace, pace and more pace! | | | |

That's great stuff. Decision making and tactical strategy both at fault is what I'm gleaning. |  |

Watching England last night was like watching us in recent home games with seemingly no clue how to breakdown the opposition. They could have still been playing this morning and not scored.
Great article btw | |

I dunno, I'm just looking at at the accompanying picture of Dykes and Bonne. | | | |
