QPR vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Taylor]

Wish we'd got Tierry.

Fancy football is fine but there's no steel. Too weak and "girly". Need to break some legs.

Girly?

Yes this Post Match thread has moved back to 1984.

Thanks for confirmation, Olaftab.

Now the team looks cool, hope Deano’s got some crucial moves to pass on.

[Villafirst]

Why are the likes of Bree and Callum O'Hare discarded?  Bree should play at RB instead of Hutton. I'd stick Hutton back at left back and drop Taylor.

[jwarry]

Deano is not being helped by the fact that Chester’s form has dropped off a cliff.

I'm not convinced he's good enough on the ball to play in this system. I think long term he might be replaced.

Yep, which is why he’s never held down a position in a pl team

[myf]

back to reality after a fun Saturday. if only we'd sacked Bruce in the summer.

we were resilient last year but now we've reverted to our first yr in this division.

I enjoy international breaks

Just one of those days, they were jammy as fuck. We will batter more teams than we lose to if we keep going at teams like that.

That wet look lippy does not suit you Lou.   Too Cruella de Ville,  or should that be Cruella de Villa. 

[Loxton01]

So frustrating to watch that tonight. One defensive howler every game is killing us. Chester has cost us twice in a week

Tuesday a point wouldn’t of flattered us and today we should have won. We are playing better and I am convinced the coaching will improve us.

The players need to play with much greater desire. Good players find ways to win and at the moment we have a soft underbelly

Abraham kodija Grealish need to stop being champagne Charlie’s and take responsibility and perform.

Big week to get some coaching and hard work into them. We will improve but it will be too late I’m afraid

Always jam tomorrow isn't it though

[cdbearsfan]

Wish we'd got Tierry.

Yes, the point he has gained from his opening two games shows what fools we were not to give the most important job at the club to a bloke with precisely zero experience.

[PeterWithesShin]

We're not going to go from the shit Bruce football was serving up to where we and Smith want us to be after about 4 full training sessions. Last 2 results have been frustrating but performance wise there was a small step in the right direction tonight imo.

[rougegorge]

Just on the train coming back.

We were the better team generally and the second half was better until about 75 mins but there was no real end product and it's a first league game without scoring.  Tammy loses the ball too easily and was wasteful.

We certainly don't have the players to play out from the back so I'm not sure why we are doing it all the time. The defence is shaky and I'd put Hutton back at left back and Elmo at right back for now.

Smith hasn't instilled any noticeable team spirit yet as there were several occasions tonight where players were gesticulating or berating each other. 

[Vegas]

It’s Bruce’s fault we’ve got the squad we’ve got.

But so far Deano has not got a magic wand, and he’s not getting anything more out of them than Bruce did.

This is going to be a long haul

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Why are the likes of Bree and Callum O'Hare discarded?  Bree should play at RB instead of Hutton. I'd stick Hutton back at left back and drop Taylor.

Apart from the last 5-10 minutes I thought Taylor had a decent game. Hutton made 3 mistakes in 2 minutes in the first half but other than that worked well. Their big problem is neither ever look to cross the ball and understandably so as neither can deliver a decent cross. Defensively they coped well. Based on tonight's performance we have much bigger problems to worry about, our awkward strikers being the main one. None of them actually looked like strikers tonight.

Pre-match Abraham said his favourite position is out wide on the left. I'd like to see him switch positions with Kodja and see how they get on as again tonight neither looked a real threat.

[jwarry]

It’s just sickening to hear McClaren talking about how proud he was of his team when we fucking dominated them.  When will this stop
