Nourry answers questions
at 20:08 16 Feb 2026

Eze was a once in a generation talent. Bright & Manning walked out on free transfers because the club dicked them about. Great planning.

Nourry has been here 2 and a bit years and to get this club actually being near playoff contention this season is pretty impressive.
Yes, we'll probably drop away now.

But I'm going to ask everyone on here who slags him off this regardless. If we hadn't had the injuries where do you think we would be in the league right now?
I'd say top 6 comfortably.

Uh oh, you've only gone and spoken out against the greatest centre midfielder QPR have had in the past 30 years. Not that I rate either Varane or Hayden either as they're all cut from the same cloth.

Totally agree with you, though.

3 of them preferably. That can actually pass, no Field, Varane, Hayden clones.

Well JS has backed himself into a corner now. All those games gone where he could of brought Morgan & Kolli on to get them more minutes, and rest others have been wasted.

He now needs these two, yet they have barely kicked a ball all season.

We're at home against a struggling Blackburn, surely it was the game to put Ronnie to CB and get Mbengue back in at RB to support Bennie?

JS seems to be going full negative Marti mode. At least put out your best players.

You can only hold the ball up if the out ball is an actual accurate pass/clearance.
Too many times clearances are just hoofed aimlessly up the pitch with no thought about playing some one through or giving those up top an actual chance to bring the ball down.

I don't understand that if you are going long, why would you not play Ronnie at CB? Why put your best passing CB at RB?

Anyone?

There were big gaps all over the pitch that perhaps aren't evident on TV. There were a couple of times, before the first Blackburn goal, that they could of slipped the ball through between RND and Cook, but took the wrong option.

Blackburn definitely targeted our left hand side.

And drop Cook? But he can head and kick it.
Why would you want to play a ball playing CB who can break the press and get us moving forward?

I think it's a lack of bravery from JS to drop Cook. If he did Edwards would move inside and Mbengue could take RB again, adding more pace, power and hopefully controlled aggression.
Bennie was hung out to dry yesterday. You can't start a 19yo and have the RB consistently 20 yards behind him offering zero support. At least Mbengue gets up and down, offering overlapping.

Really poor from JS. He got everything wrong yesterday.

Is that because of the young age of the squad?

This ties into the thread about Nourry. We have the DS playing possesion based football, yet the 1st team has regressed to almost Ainsworth levels of hoof ball. How do the youngsters transition from one to the other? How can possesion based football be played without players who can pass?
We were told it would be 4-3-3, yet when everyone is fit We play 4-4-2.

It was awful to watch, but it has been getting worse the longer the season has gone on.

They played a mobile ST against our two immobile CBs with the inevitable result. Some on here have been calling for Edwards to be played as CB and were accused of being disrespectful to Cook. Yeah, OK.
There was one point in the 1st half when Edwards broke the line and played it inside to Cook who duely hoofed it 30 yards to them. Its just brain dead football.

Saito is not strong enough for the Championship and should never have been signed. I thought Blackburn did a number on him today.

For the first time I thought JS got everything wrong today. The starting lineup and the subs were both poor. Pressure building on him now.

The lack of retaining possession is not new, that's why after 7-1 against Coventry JS changed it. He saw QPR do not have the players to play through CM and so by-passed it with hoof ball.

This all goes back to the summer recruitment. We have lots of shiny baubles, but nothing to hang them on, yet this team is a centre midfield away from a serious promotion push. Look at Boro.

They were much the better side and we were a yard off it from the 1st minute. The lack of intensity and desire reeked of arrogance, just turn up and we'll win.
And with Madsen out we have zero CM who can actually pass a ball forward.

The football today was as bad as under Ainsworth. Hoof and hope, but that happens if you can't pass through the thirds.

It's the CM that's the problem, and has been all season. It's going to get a lot worse without Madsen.

No brain power out there.

Have a pop, he has been shocking. I can feel the crowd here turn on him if doesn't sort it out.
He got the goal, but he really has been poor. Pushed off the ball, losing it and generally offering little.

I'd have Kolli on at HT, but JS won't.
