Queens Park Rangers v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

I just hope AM puts delph out to pasture. Does nothing IMO. Another transfer masterclass from MON - 6m on a guy not much more effective than osbourne.

It just isn't a thread without a Greg Nash dig at Martin O'Neill.

He has a point.

not sure what Delph does or is good at, not a defensive midfielder, not a winger, not great at tackling not an attacking midfielder, he does cover ground

[Rigadon]

Really heartening to see some positivity on here tonight. 

[Phil from the upper holte]

I went today at half time I was tempted to go back to the coach, it was worse than Tuesday, second half was much better, Collins apart from the goal was brilliant, it may have helped if he had a bit of help from Hutton!!

I thought Delph did ok today not brilliant but much better than everton. Ireland did well 2nd half should have taken our chances, Albrighton bit greedy at the end and should have been a corner before they scored but hey. Overall probably a fair result but need to start winning some games

[Somniloquism]

Whilst him losing the ball was an issue, I thought Delph getting forward with Petrov sitting was at the heart of some of our better plays, especially when linking with Bazza and Ireland.

Well he's awful. 600k maybe but 6m?!

I went today ....

Why didn't you claim for the Penalty against Gabs because according to Colin Wanker and Wilkins, because you didn't claim for it, it wasn't a penalty.

[Lowendbehold]

Ignoring the important bit, the match for a minute, we got rolled over in the post match analysis.

Our pen was a pen.  If you pull someones shirt a little bit, whether the players goes down or not in the box, it's a pen.  Cynical pros say it goes on all the time.  Doesn't matter, it was a pen.

Their claims for pens were wrong.  Even the pundits said first one was ball to hand.  Their main claim was the shot on goal that hit Hutton.  However before the ball hit Hutton, even the pundits accepted Batrton was fouling Given, as had been at all the set pieces.  Therefore free kick to us.

Their goal, even Wilkins accepted it should have earlier been a corner to us not a goal kick.

AM didn't see the replays before he did his interviews.  Warnock after his, did and went back and did another.  All neutrals now think QPR were robbed.  Rubbish we lost the post match.

It would not be expensive to have someone reviewing the TV and briefing our manager before he gives his interviews.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think we'd have won had we had Jenas on the bench to help close it out.

[barrysleftfoot]

  Bannan and Ireland need to be given more games together.Delph does some good things, but makes to many mistakes atm.Still have high hopes for him, but when Jenas is fit, i would give him a rest for a while.

  I might be on my own, but i thought Warnock had a reasonable game today, as for me did N'Zog.

  2nd half for me was quite encouraging, as was Ray Wilkins words.Top 8 for me.

Depth is good player.  By the end of this season we will regard him as our future.  Except N'ash of course.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

I was actually a bit reassured by AM's post match words: he mentioned tackling, passing, attacking and 2 or 3 of the players not playing as well as they should, and he had to tell them to do these things at half time. What the f*** do our boys think they go out there for in the first half? (or the whole game on Tuesday!!!)
When we moved up 20/25 yards in the 2nd half and actually started doing a bit of that running around thing and passing to each other thing we took the pressure off ourselves and looked good.

Dear Team,
please start playing from the beginning of games, like most teams do.
Yours sincerely,
ST Holder (worried)

[taylorsworkrate]

I think that Delph is a decent enough player.  Not the superstar that some predicted, but by no means terrible.

He's probably a lower midtable midfielder.

[Irish villain]

Delph and N'Zogbia are worries still. Barry Bannan will probably be our star player by the end of the season. We need to supply our forwards throughout the game. If you set up to defend in the hope you will nick a goal, you run the risk of seeing your hard work come to nought if a scrappy goal is given away in injury time. Always thought we needed the cushion of a second goal but we didn't really seek one in the final twenty minutes.

Jury's out. We're solid and hard to beat but we don't look like winning many games which is major worry. We need to improve in the final third.
