Beat Stoke 6-0 and if Ipswich don’t get more than a draw we might only need to beat Leeds 5-0 😳 Two goals since then so beat Stoke 5-0 tomorrow then take it easy with a 4-0 at Ellend Road to clinch promotion 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Excellent performance from QPR. They worked very hard right from the start, to close down Leeds' preferred passing options from the back. Where we are very comfortable creating passing angles, Leeds a bit less so. So, they were doing a lot of straight passes from deep, to break the QPR line. Practically none of them came off. With Chair running things, QPR had a match winner on the park. He was key to a lot of their efforts. It would be nice to have a player capable of that. Early impact Fraser was about as close as we got. That opening spell did for a lot of Leeds' efforts. They couldn't match the work rate. Gnonto was huffing about after that, and Summerville kept very quiet. Leeds also tried to get a lot of the ball to Firpo. I remember one right across to where Banford would be on the end of it. Except, he was injured and sitting in the stand. The rest of the time QPR were very switched on to this tactic, and watched and marshalled (not Scott, obviously) the runners really well. Leeds folded in set pieces in the second half too. They left plenty of space to straightforward crosses, that were both guided in well. Simple, after a lot of work in the training ground. If it wasn't for the fact we'll do what we always set up to do, there would be things we could learn ahead of our match against them. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only a month ago people were saying Leeds were unstoppable and they couldn't see them losing again all season. One international break later, with promotion in their grasp, they get zero points from Blackburn and QPR. Anything can happen in the playoffs, in fact WBA could still bottle them entirely, their only win in the last six was Rotherham at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Well done to Leicester. They were the best side for half the season and despite letting a healthy lead in the League slip, then kept plugging away. They have largely gone back up on the base of still having some Prem players despite losing 3 or 4 and some decent recruitment. I'm hugely surprised at the Leeds result, they have the best attack in the Championship by miles - but the ball is definitely now in Ipswich's court. Leeds in the play-offs will be a disaster though as even if we get to the final it will likely be them we face - and I don't fancy us against them at all. Still, interesting few weeks ahead. That promotion feeling would really make the summer amazing. Hot sun, beer gardens, cold booze and the Euros. Noice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds rolled over themselves yesterday. Nothing in that performance suggests they are remotely fussed about promotion. It was probably worse than us against Leicester because at least Leicester have a load of good players whereas QPR are highly ordinary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabrone Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Fair play to Leicester and Ipswich who have overall been the best 2 teams in the champ. As for the playoffs my money would be on Norwich who have entered them on a decent run whereas Saints\Leeds\WBA look jaded. I just hope we avoid them.

washsaint Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 What a s*****w the Prem is. Anthony Taylor with a howler decision. GK drops the ball down, Gakpo comes in to tap it in and Taylor blows his whistle. Then goes over to the keeper who collapses like a sack of spuds to feign injury. ANd at no point prior to the keeper dropping the ball was the whistle blown.
