QPR v Aston Villa Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

They are poor, but we need at least two goals because our defence has been pretty bad.

Good value at 1-0.

At 1-1 we just turned into headless chickens.

Slightly the better of it after the re-start from M'Bias injury.

Lichaj is getting roasted. Gabby should play left side to help him out and also get at Boswinga.

Have to give credit where it's due to Mackie for the R's. He's far from their best, or most reputed player but he's worked his bollocks off so far. Seems like his hearts in it far more than a lot of his team mates have been this season.

QPR look like Stoke though. Whether that's a permanent shift this season by Arry I don't know, but certainly, we're struggling against the aerial bombardment.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

From the little I've seen, it looks a good game.

Personally, in January, if we have any money available, I'd be looking to buy players to play in the Weimann/Gabby positions.

The rule there is pretty plain. It's in the site rules and has been all season. People can of course watch streams, they can say they are watching a stream, they can't however post a link to the game, or name a streaming site.

Thanks to those who helped out a fellow supporter.  You know who you are.  And aren't, in one miserable case.

Funny how the only time I can recall you being pleasant to me was when you wanted something that was against site rules.

We have to take our chances, it's really important we're not so wasteful. We've place nice stuff, but our defence isn't up to it.

Or offered you one of my movies.  But there you go.  This is obviously the kind of guy you are.

Benteke, Lowton, Westwood, Guzan all good. Rest, with the exception of Lichaj, all a bit in and out. Lichaj is just crap.

Both defences are frightening for the respective fans. It's not good. Saying that, we can at least blame inexperience. If we don't sit Herd in front to just hold then we may as well just take him off because he's anonymous. Put on Bent and go for it.

I think we need to win this by attacking. Same for Rangers. Neither side can try to defend and hope to nick it. Both defences are shite. I think this will open up 2nd half. We'll see who edges it. I think there's a goal in Benteke today though. Fancy Gabby could score too.

You need to change your name to PeterWithesWibble, trust me it will bring you luck...

Sorry, second time. My mistake. But hey, site rules obviously don't apply to you do they. Again, they are in place for a reason, part of that reason we saw with VS vanishing.

Chill, brethren.

[Dan England]

We should win this. They look really poor.

I bet QPR are saying the same. Both teams have been positive going forward but both also look suspect at the back.

[David_Nab]

Big call now for PL.They look dodgy at the back so does he risk Ireland or /and Bent to get a winner..the problem being we don't exactly look solid ourselfs at the back

For me Lichaj struggles at left back. He's not great at right back either. I think he'd suit centre half a lot more because he's not quick enough or good enough on the ball for fullback. That said he'd be a back up centre half at this level. Unfortunately that's what we've got at the minute. There's no one else.

From the offical FB page.

QPR 1-1 Villa - HT: Enthralling first-half of football. Both sides on the offensive. Villa have looked a real handful in the final third with Christian Benteke, Gabby Agbonlahor and Brett Holman causing all kinds of issues. Villa's trio of centre-halves - Chris Herd, Nathan Baker, Ciaran Clark - all coping excellently with QPR's threat. Should be an intriguing second period.
