| All A Hard Watch & Struggle on 18:38 - Mar 8 with 2591 views | Wegerles_Stairs | All of the frauds need to go - Hoos, Nourry, Cycling Ben and the clueless c*nt 'managing' us. That was what a decent coach can do for a team. Stephan sat there while the whole crowd was telling him to bring some pace on (Smyth)...and then they scored their second. Frauds the lot of them, getting away with it because our owners run it as a tax loss. |  | |  |

Ah, interesting he was in the studio. How far we have fallen since we had a proper manager in charge! |  | |  |
| All A Hard Watch & Struggle on 19:05 - Mar 8 with 2317 views | EN_Ranger | Was bad today, we didn’t appear to know what to do with the ball when we got it. Not really sure what this manager is, as there aren’t any attacking patterns of play that look coached. Think he might have lost the fans today, the lack of subs until 2-0 and the 70th minute was ridiculous. Thought Varane was actually ok in the first half, but in the second our whole midfield just let runners go off the back of them, which is just not good enough. Whole team look bored, on the beach and with zero confidence, think I’ll toss off the rest of the season with them! |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Watching Stephan's interview on Sky he does not seem bothered to me, just kept talking how technically brilliant Boro were, we know they are better than us, can't see him staying after the end of the season. Another one passing through our club and to be honest don't really care much for him as the manager anyway. |  | |  |

What made it 10 times worse was the Sky commentator basically said its no laughing matter which only highlighted the perception they do not care Saito is way off it this year yet gets the starting spot every game he is fit to play he should be very dissapointed with his performances not laughing it up . We were getting our ass handed to us on the pitch everybody should be angry and upset the way the last 3 games have gone . Sad to see LR empty at full time that should send some message that wages are being spent by fans who could probably use that cash to watch that garbage the least they could do is give a fcuk about playing for QPR |  | |  |

He looks like a broken man who hasn’t been sleeping much. He looked completely resigned to the looming defeat before we’d even kicked off. He’s been QPR’d. |  | |  |

0-9, isn’t it? But also 0-10 since Steve Cook hasn’t played. Also 0-10 since Edwards went to centre half, I believe. Lots of correlations, difficult to argue what the causation is. Either way, it’s dreadful. Realistically, we’ve been in poor form since we beat Leicester at Loftus Rd. Now injuries have worsened and we have no hope of the play offs it looks and feels like the intensity levels have dropped significantly. |  | |  |

I know most will disagree, but Edwards wouldn't be in the team IF we played our best defenders. What is for certain is that a Dunne/Edwards partnership at centre half isn't working. Today was a strange afternoon! The first goal should have been disallowed for handball (laws of the game even though I disagree with the law) & the second came from a corner that should have been a goal kick, but it would be impossible to put that forward as mitigation. Firstly, Whittaker should have scored the first & the headed "clearance" from Dunne at the corner was atrocious. Thirdly, the result was what we deserved. The substitutions then confused/amazed me. Morgan, Vale & Mbengue had created some openings in the second half & why Smyth replaced Morgan instead of Saito was beyond comprehension. Flogging Kone to the end of a game that had long been lost, rather than giving him a little rest was also questionable. |  | |  |

It was 0-1 to Southampton when he had to go off, so 4 against that game, 2 against SU and 4 again today. 10 in total. For me Madsen was doing a huge job holding us together in midfield and we don't have 1 player that can cover him, though we have had tough opposition. I thought Cook made some bad mistakes in his last game, Agree Edwards hasn't showed his form from last winter. |  | |  |

Please. Madsen played against Middlesbrough away, when they tore us a new one and cut us open at will, before declaring after 50 minutes. Ipswich at home, too, To suggest that Madsen would have stemmed the tide against the same opposition today, Sheffield United and Southampton is just fanciful. Some have said that he's Premier League quality. Not a chance. Leave Hayden Hackney aside who is by far and away the best player in this division and will be playing top flight next season and I sincerely hope that it's with Middlesbrough. Madsen is not as good as either Mcgree or Morris from today's opponents. He's done well in a very poor QPR side but to suggest that he's the panacea to all/most of our ills. No chance.

Yes Boro are a good step above us and they play with a lot of confidence and basically played around us, creating space on our tight pitch. We just don't have for want of the words the technically gifted midfield players that teams like Boro have that can deliver through the centre of the park. What is most frustrating is we are now in the worst of both worlds, we are getting done over by bigger more physical teams i.e. Blackburn and Sheff Utd and now the more pacy gifted teams i.e. Boro and Ipswich. Warnock had it right in the Sky studio , QPR lack fight and physicality and are easy to turn over. |  | |  |
| All A Hard Watch & Struggle on 22:12 - Mar 8 with 1391 views | baz_qpr | I thought Edwards was our best midfielder by some distance today when he moved in there and probably our best player overall. Mbengue's head had gone and 3 game ban upcoming so right to hook him. If Varane gets a 1 in Clive's report I would be surprised, at fault for two goals and every half decent move broke down when he received the ball. Saito bent over puffing in the 25 minute after a run. Kone barely able to jog after 40 minutes, though better after half time. The fitness is atrocious and all the goals self inflicted |  | |  |

We can completely forget about the playoffs. This is starting to look like 2017 under Ian Holloway when we got to 50 points with eight games remaining, thought we were safe only to lose the next six and eventually finish one point above Blackburn who went down with 52. We need Cook back in the team. At least with him at the back we are hard to score against. If we keep conceding the way we are we will get pulled into the relegation scrap. |  | |  |

100 per cent this. Looked haunted and grim just before kick off and his comments post match in media room were sad and defeatist. No member of the media asked why Cook didn't play and should have. Have sympathy for him at a basket case of a club but whatever the reason he is 'broken'. |  |

We so desperately need to find a team of badly coached, injured and slow midgets that we can beat to turn things around. |  |

| All A Hard Watch & Struggle on 07:09 - Mar 9 with 798 views | thehat | The last 3 games have been a tactical shambles. Yes we have injuries but how we continue to set up with a back four and Vale and Saito out wide is football suicide. The overall fitness of the players both mentally and physically is shocking not just in stamina but even our short ten yard sprints are half arsed and slow. I'm not calling for the manager to go (yet) but if he were to leave I certainly wouldn't be disappointed. |  | |  |
| All A Hard Watch & Struggle on 07:16 - Mar 9 with 787 views | PlanetHonneywood | That Wrexham (h) loss is looking more and more damaging. We'd have been on 50 points now and had some momentum from it and Hull (a). It's abundantly clear that for now, the back four should be: AM, SC, RD, and RND. The midfield is as weak as piss and devoid of creativity and energy. I'd go five, with three in the middle, and just tell Kone, goal hang to save his legs and get him back to what we signed him to do: notch. Yesterday was embarrassing just how much fitter and faster Boro were compared to us. Our lack of fitness is a joke, BMX Ben and the thinking behind him has to be sent packing and PDQ, so as to allow us to get our act together for pre-season. Yet again for the umpteenth time in the 53 years I've followed the Rangers, we are the authors of our own misfortune! |  |
