QPR v Watford FA Cup 5th(!) Rnd 0 - 0

Well we've started okay, we may look a bit defensive but that's to be expected against higher league opposition

We've had the chances, just need to be more clinical!

In some ways, this game could show that we're not ready for the Premier League IF we were to go on some mad run and get back in to play-off territory. Hopefully we can push on in the league and try and get some good form again!

We were incredibly unlucky to lose that game. Argh!!!

How the f%&k did Leistner not score?

Oh my god!!! So frustrating.

We played well which is all we could really ask but that match was there for the taking. Watford were no great shakes tonight, we could have done something special and the margins were so fine.

I still feel Lumley should have done better with their goal and some of our players were just dead on their feet by the end. Hemed for Wells was a poor change for me because I felt if anybody was going to score for us it would be Wells.

Cousins was brilliant and moving him to try and accommodate Eze didn't help in the last 20 minutes.

Atmosphere before and at the start was brilliant and the game seemed to be over in a flash. Freeman was top class in the first half but faded in the 2nd half. Cousins seemed possessed and looked very good tonight.

If only we had a Charlie Austin to finish one of the many chances we created. As far as I can remember I think we seemed to have loads of chances but only one shot was on target.

MacClaren as always loses the plot and seems to make changes for changes sake that not only seem to confuse the crowd but also seem to upset our play.

Overall the team played well but if you can't finish and you concede soft goals then you certainly don't want to be playing a team that has already hit you for 7 anytime soon.

Just back. Good performance but rubbish finishing. We had enough chances to win but didn’t take them. And they got a lucky goal. That’s it really.
The subs didn’t help. We may have done better not to make any subs as we were playing well but Steve would have got stick for that too.
Great atmosphere - Loftus Riad is fantastic on nights like this.

That is my feeling: QPR are playing well enough (given their capabilities and strength of depth in the squad) but of late are losing through a combination of bad luck/referee and poor finishing. I would add that there is no doubting the team's desire to win and disappointment at losing (see reaction to Well's missed penalty and the end of game fracas to show how much they care). Are we the lowest scoring side in the Championship? We need to turn the corner, utilise Hemed/Smith as alternatives up front with Wells, and stop trying to fit in Eze for games that require different skills. [exits stage left to ring Steve...]
