Queens Park Rangers v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[hawkeye]

Lucky to be drawing at H-T. Unlucky to be drawing at F-T.

They had all the first half, we had the first 25 of the second half, then we decided to hang on for a 1 0 win.

[TopDeck113]

Bonus for me , I think Ireland will come good .

I'd agree with that, at least based on today's second half performance.

[villadelph]

Thought Neil Warnocks comments were about right

What did he say.

Slagged the ref.

[JUAN PABLO]

And Marc should have squared to Weimann when on the break near the end .

[Somniloquism]

Ahh Warnock. Collins and the No 10 whoever he was should have been sent off as well.

As for the no Villa fans behind the goal appealing for it. We don't have x ray vision so we can't see the shirt tug through Gabby. Then for Sideways Ray to say Gabby went down easy seemed very unkind. And Hutton never moved his arm towards the ball. If anything he was trying to move it out of the way.

Given - solid.

Hutton - I'm really worried about him. He looks like some bloke just rolled out of the pub and onto the pitch. All over the shop.
Dunne - unlucky at the end, solid performance.
Collins - did very well, i thought.
Warnock - alternated between competent and frightening.

Delph - the game passed him by. Admittedly, in the first half, he didn't have much choice as the ball sailed over his head, but in the second didn't really improve.
Bannan - I'm impressed. Had a tough time along with the rest of the midfield in the first half, but kept plugging away, very coolly taken penalty. Must start next time.
Ireland - did ok, but again, couldn't get involved in the first half.
Petrov - unremarkable in both negative and positive senses.
N'Zogbia - better than previous performances, but still not what we were expecting. needs time.

Gabby - chased scraps, worked very hard.

truly awful performance 1st half, Better 2nd but even with all the luck going our way 2nd half we still couldn't hold on. Delpth is just pointless, he makes NRC seem creative. Still a point away from home is something

This. Lack of creativity is a worry .

How many goals and points do we lose in the last couple of minutes?
QPR however deserved a point at least , defensively we have improved but we lack creativity n midfield , lets hope jenas will provide some.

A fully fit Bent in the second half and we would have won it

[Villanation]

We were better in 2nd half - BUT that first half was atrocious.

Thats it - I have given up on this season. Make me eat my words in May - and I will be happy. But below 15th. Don't give a shit about "unbeaten". we have 8 of 18 possible (makes 50 points end of season, but we have played the worst sides so far. Meaning we will be lucky to hit 40)

Petrov, Collins, Dunne (no chance with goal), and Bannan were okey. Ireland was the best he has been - and still shit poor.

Agree, but I do think Ireland merits another start and I would say Wigan is nailed on for him, you have to give him that opportunity to come back, I think 2nd half, that's the best I've seen from him for a very long time...

[olaftab]

Unlucky today. The win that should have been was well crafted but you can not count for roll of the dice that got QPR a draw.

I think the problem is going to come at home, he is clearly setting us out to be a pseudo counter attacking side, great when your away, hopeless at home when you have to break teams down.

[Holtenderinthesky]

At least we didn't lose.  As I thought we would. 

[mrfuse]

Warnock can fuck off, he's stupidly biased and he fucking hates reffs. Every week he has a pop at the referee. Maybe it was a soft penalty, but why did he have his shirt in his hands? They were lucky to have only had 2 bookings all game

To be fair he is always going to be biased but he didnt rant about the ref

[timeoutbigbar]

Thought Hutton was shocking.  Could have given away two penalties with carelessly waving arms, and then is horribly out of position leaving us exposed for the equaliser.  I thought he was of similar ability to Luke Young when he came.  He isn't.

Spot on.
