[SaintBobby]

No space anywhere really. QPR are set up well.

Live table has us 7 points off 3rd, but 9 points ahead of 5th.

 

Computer says no. Live Table has us level on points with 3rd.

[Wade Garrett]

Very sloppy start to the second half.

[Saint Matty 76]

Worst I've seen us play since the 4 game loss-streak. 

[Mr X]

Jesus we're lucky there! 

[bpsaint]

The usual post HT wobble, hopefully we can see it out for a change and the kill the game off

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Mostly QPR here.

Stu has shown some real awareness in trying to swtich quickly to an attack. But we've not been able to get out. They get to use that space, even when we're a bit further back, at full back to get a ball across. We set up to expect that out ball from them thankfully. Always looks worse than it turns out to be.

AA and Stu agian linking up well at the other end. We're looking to pounce on any space we get there.

[markr27]

Manning doing his usual crossfield runs into no-man's-land, leaving his flank exposed.

[Andrew Watson]

Seems like we have scored against the run of play,need to up the pace in the second half. Would take Chair off them in january.

 

[Farmer Saint]

QPR are quite decent ATM, they are on form, so anything out of this game would be acceptable.

Heard he misses a few sitters

[Block41 Saint]

Downes off?! 

[adrian lord]

Che on for Smallbone

[Mr X]

Manning so bad 

[Wade Garrett]

Fucking ridiculous taking Downes and Smallbone off.

[Saint Matty 76]

Downes hurt? Always look far worse without him

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Goal machine Adams on from Smallbone.
Downeds off for Charles.
Fraser on for Edozie

Interesting, as that weakens our midfield.

[obelisk]

The triple substitution can't really make us any worse I suppose.

[tdmickey3]

Lots of subs, hope it serves us well

Up the tempo

With other results today,  we must win

[Holmes_and_Watson]

That was a quickly taken freekick. Offisde, so didn;t catch up out.

Hopefully, we'll be a bit more focused with Adams there to receive and link up with the others.

Didn't we make a bunch of subs against either Coventry or Watford and then immediately look completely disorganised and end up drawing?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Exciting stuff this!

From their excellent switch of play as we pinned them right on their bye line to us linking up, super KWP dribbling.

[Block41 Saint]

Fucking wank corner. Straight up the other end for a QPR corner. 

[Suhari]

Great defence Shay.

Games really hotted up.

[Saint_clark]

Couple of absolutely terrible balls from KWP there.

[farawaysaint]

I miss the days when for some reason everyone posted nun tits at moments like this.

Now all I get is anxiety without the benefit of boobs. 

[DT]

Has a 1-1 feel about it

[Saint Matty 76]

Well played Shea but absolutely stupidity setting up like that 1-0 up from our own corner

Get it together RM we should've learned from that earlier this year

[obelisk]

QPR leave an attacker up field. They get a corner.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Stu waiting,... and waiting... and waiting for that cut back... and when it arrives it's too hard. KWP looking focused and excellent at dribbling. But there have been a couple of better options.

QPR quick to get it right up the park. They know we take risks there, so are just waiting for one of them to pay off.

Outr own break, doesn;t really get going and stright to their keeper. That's one are where we could be better. We focus so much in passing our way through teams, that sometimes our passing when there's clear space lets us down.

Baz makes a save. Not on his danger side.

[adrian lord]

We need a second to kill em off. 

[Block41 Saint]

Stop giving the ball away FFS

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Charles gets another yellow for his collection.

[macca155]

This is going to be a tough watch for the next 20 mins or so. QPR are playing well.

[obelisk]

Now Stu giving the ball away.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Another loose pass though getting it out. We do give it away cheaply at times. Free Kick.....

[saintant]

One shot on target is poor.

[Saint_clark]

Made very early subs and now a few that he left on are looking shattered, giving the ball away repeatedly. 

Downes and Smallbone are very good at keeping the ball and they both came off...

[adrian lord]

Sloppy passing worries me.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Adams gets a yellow just to prove he was at the game.

[Block41 Saint]

KWP's decision making in the final 3rd has been poor

[Saint Matty 76]

Charles gotta score

[Saint_clark]

Che Adams showing the kind of composure and discipline that we need when he's coming on to defend a 1-0.

If we dont score soon we know they will

[OttawaSaint]

Got draw or defeat written all over it. Players look tired and we are racking up yellows. Surprised if we end up finishing with 11 at this rate.

[adrian lord]

How did we not score there?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Freser's direct run gives us a chance. But it's cut back to Charles. He gets it on target. But that's where you'd want Adams to be.

Another effort, but straight to the keeper from Stu. Still, getting some chances.

[obelisk]

Still unable to get that second goal.

[Bad Wolf]

Their Armstrong coming on - He tortured us at St Mary's if I remember rightly.

[saintant]

Need to push them back and go for that second goal which will clinch it.
