Match Day Thread QPR vs Norwich

He played well.

 

Problem is “if” we stay up GA keeps his job “as he kept us up”. Then he starts to build his side around this **** football. Big lumps up front with balls banging up to them.
If we get relegated then he keeps his job as he knows L1 and he starts to build his side around this **** football.
See the problem

 

I'm going to say it and I've always had this niggling thought.......


I actually think Ainsworth is a bit thick.
There I've said it!
Some of the utter crap he comes out with just sounds dumb and don't even get me started on that ****ing Haka!
No wonder there's mutiny about.
Great player for us, but a terrible, terrible coach.

 

Someone please put the link up to Clive's report when it's available.
I just want to read about Stroud.

 

What do you think of him? Interestingly the Norwich board was moaning about him to

 

Blimey … get your running shoes on Rodders. You’ll get chased out of here with sticks and stones!

 

He's the worst referee I've ever seen in my life and always seems to be against us.
How he missed the challenge on Drew I'll never know.

 

It was a nasty and dangerous challenge that deserved red but then I actually thought Dykes' high challenge on their player that hammered him into the hoardings was worse. And if I'm honest I didn't think the Lowe incident was a penalty - even though I was shouting for it. Desperate times and all that.
Don't get me wrong, I still think Stroud's a thunderc*ck.

 

I’m not one for moaning about refs, but I have to say that the standard overall in the Championship this season has been dire. Stroud is a poor ref, but I don’t think he or any of the others that I’ve seen are biased, just crap. Is it next year that the Championship gets VAR lite? I’m against this simply because it will make games even longer and I have a train to catch. I reckon it will be heavily used as refs seek to protect themselves by opting out of decisions. However, might not be an issue for us…..

Loftus Road is also one of the most unpleasant grounds to be a lino in, angry fans right in your face for 95 minutes. Wouldn’t make me want to do us any favours.

 

Bang on the money

 

He's very generic and repetitive with his interviews there's rarely any substance. His weird obsession with being coy about who's injured is really irritating me as well. He's really not the right fit but we're probably stuck with him.

 

If we had a set piece routine (that worked) we would have earned 3-6 more points this season.
Life can be that simple, sometimes.
Like many, I have now lost all confidence in GA.

 

Was watching Paul Merson talking about QPR on Sky before the match. He said, when he watched the video of the Haka and seeing the players' expressions, he knew immediately they weren't buying into it and there were problems in the camp. And even if GA thought Haka therapy was positive, why film it? What was the purpose? To show to fans he was doing something?

I suppose we should be grateful it was the Haka he thought worth imposing on the squad and publishing for the world. It could have been colonic irrigation

 

I mean you don't have to be a body language expert to see that. The worry for me was GA genuinely seemed to think they bought into it.

Why couldn't they have just gone go-karting or 10 pin bowling.

 

I wish I didn't agree with you and @rangercol on this, but I do.

At the end of this season we need to clear out as much of this squad as we can and rebuild. I fear that we'll do that with this manager, who plays a certain style, and then be stuck with that style for the 2/3 year length of the contracts those players signed. Groan.

 

We all know GA was put in place as to appease the fans and take the heat off Les Ferdinand et al..lovely fella but not up to the task..they basically threw him under the bus imo,and will be sacked at the end of this **** season

 

Apologies if already mentioned but in the post match comments, GA said he didn't bring Willock on becuase he wasn't fit enough. In that case, why was he on the bench?

We all acknowledge that, relegated or not, we are in deep trouble. It seems to me the most important question is what the owners are planning after taking a long and very hard look at themselves in the proverbial mirror.

 

We get that all over the pitch at present...

 

Giannoulis was off the field & got smashed into the wall behind him banging the back of his head & got concussion, the linesman originally called a QPR throw in .

Horrendous referee for both sides & lost control of the game.

 

He's played consistently well since his return. Only he and Field from this rabble deserve any credit for their performances.
