Bristol City Vs QPR

not to mention, we had reasonable chances to score more than one.

It could be the last bit of excitement and the last game to look forward to this session so let's enjoy the build up.

Our league form makes us massive underdogs so as you say singlespeed the pressure is on them.

The penalty was one of those decisions that you only get when you are playing at home. However, the issue for me was how we couldn't combat the change made at half time by Bristol. They brought on a winger called Elliason who proceeded to give Bidwell a torrid time down our left. It was clear to me that we needed to double up on him but for some reason neither the manager or the players seemed to be able to react. As a result Elliason seemed to get plenty of the ball and was putting in dangerous crosses for a pastime. Leistner was working overtime trying to head those crosses away.

At this stage I thought that McClaren would have changed things and given Bidwell some support but he didn't and for me it was then only a matter of time before they scored.

The penalty decision was disappointing but that shouldn't cloud the fact that McClaren is not tactically astute and didnt make the obvious changes that were needed in the 2nd half.

Many of you guys would have watched the game and it would be good to hear your thoughts on McClarens tactics. Am I being too harsh or do you think my observation is fair?

There’s a fine line in this league of winning and losing
When we had that good run we shut up shop and with players like Rangel and Cameron we were able to do that
We are simply making life hard for ourselves,coming back from 4-0 against a team who couldn’t even beat Bolton at home last night
Were playing awful at home and conceding far more goals than away at the moment
The championship is a league there’s not much in it between any team,I watched Norwich v Ipswich and a top v bottom clash and I actually thought at times who was top and who was bottom,Ipswich played some decent football,but Norwich with the few chances they had converted them
Nobody is that good in the championship like wolves were last season and proving their worth in the premier league then again they spent 10 million on one player last season

I agree with your comments and there really isn't a lot between the teams at the top and those at the bottom. Most seasons in the Championship there is a standout team but for whatever reason this year we haven't seen one. For me there have been quality moments but there isn't a quality team.

Well it must have been a contentious finish to the game (yet to see the 90 mins video) for so many bookings! Totally agree though in regard to good substitutions on Saturday and not last night; and Bidwell being left exposed (McClaren has enough coaches on the bench to point this out to him if unaware) so Manning was the ideal sub. As you might expect, the Championship games on Tuesday & Wednesday have shown that the form guide is not to be trusted, and this will make for an exciting (and nervy) finish for many teams this season (but probably not QPR)!
