It creates space for others to play and allows for the "diagonal" balls into the box that, on their day, have been v effective for us. Sometimes yes it leaves a space but the idea is one of the other players takes up that space, in theory anway ...

Yawn.

Ok NA wasnt perfect and its easy to wax lyrical in his absence but, yes or no, do you think we would have been better off points wise if he'd stayed? I know thats all very crystal ball but a gut feeling?

True and Im not writing either off. Imagine others are the same. However everyone agreed we needed a cb to come in and compete for a starting spot in our shaky defence and, I know you can legislate for freak injuries, but a player with no match fitness doesn't seem to be the answer. Would love him to come back from injury and play a few blinders and shut me up, genuinely!

Agree with the sentiment from you and Clarke. Just like to add my two cents worth. To be fair MP deserves more then six games to be judged ability wise BUT the decision to bring him in when we did will be judged come the end of the season.

Charming. Our current form is relegation form. This isn't a "we lost once" the world is over reaction from most. We were not good enough today, imo have not been good enough since NA left and something has to change quickly. Yes we dont do things easily but wouldnt it be rather nice if we did!

That would explain it

To be fair shaw didn't look 100% fit. Not sure he should've been on the bench. Is Richardson fit?

True we often rely on Lambert but we have had good games without him on form. Either way I had/have more faith that NA could've turned todays result around then MP. Sure QPR were effective at what they did and Samba should've meant us playing a different game ... either way cant help but feel we've gone backwards.

The Forren one is a mystery to me. After Yosh had a poor one today should he get a game? If not now then when?!?

Start of the season, true. But we had looked to have turned a corner (for the most part!) before NA was sacked, agreed? Lambert drifted and interchanged well with Punch and Al to create space with clyne and shaw getting beyond defenders.

Spot on. Priority number one is survival and our squad should be good enough to do that. It does not have to be pretty.

Bore off.

Ok im not going to go overboard but it seems like the manager has no plan b. Im not saying he wont eventually come up with one and his managerial talent may be wonderful but look how long it took NA to start getting the tactical balance right for the opposition? Surely today is the kind of thing that points out the terrible timing of replacing the manager at such a crucial point of the season? I know it's very easy to talk in hypatheticals but, in my opinion, we would have been better off points wise with NA still in charge. If he wasnt going to be NC's man going forward post season would've been the time, give Poch time to deal with this kind of stuff.

We seem to be losing more then we're winning since nc wielded the axe ...

On what evidence? They've scored two in six before this. They have taken chances well but lets not overhype them!

Get yourself a pop up blocker. Basically anything you click on other then close and play will take you elsewhere.

This. Mr consistant. Honestly hard pushed to think of a better playing dm in the premiership right now.

Cracking jay rod, little flash of brilliance from ramirez, more of the same please!!!

Fox was at fault but boruc could've done better and there was no pressure on the ball.

Leadership needed on the pitch. Time for players to stand up and be counted, we need to calm down, tighten up and keep the ball!

Link two on first row pretty decent, one was poor quality.

I 200% disagree.

Boring boring wind up merchant. Always posting something negative. Get your reaction elsewhere.

Long shot but does anybody know when the tickets are likely to be on general sale for this one? Thanks
