QPR v WEST BROM

#qpr @tonyfernandes @amit_Bhatia99 I know we have lost six in a row.But honestly the team has played v well & I don’t know what else can be changed. It is what it is. We need to get to 45 points ASAP.

Relegation slight worry from Tony

We did not deserve to lose that game. I was behind time watching it and can only echo some of the updates posted throughout the match.

We were poor at the start and stupid at the end to sit sooooo deep but in between we were worthy of a point. It was end to end stuff and although we were poor defensively (and they seemed to get in down the flanks all night as stoatey said) we were creating chances ourselves and looked threatening. If our final ball was better we could have created even more chances.

Wells should have scored when he was through on goal only to call himself offside only to realise he was onside then start playing again!

It was demosarlising to lose at the end but a bit like after Watford the players just have to keep believing that they are so close to a result against good teams and that the tide will turn. We are not performing horrifically (Lynch aside).

Which brings me on to Lynch. What can you say about him? What are the managers and staff seeing that we aren't? Do they turn away and miss his errors or something? How can we be horrified that he is back in the team but the management team pick him time after time?

Tonight Bidwell was both shouting to Lynch that he had time and literally motioning that he had time with his arms and yet Lynch still can't handle a basic footballing situation.

He is without doubt one of the worst defenders in the history of QPR. I've never known a defender to give away so many goals. He literally seems incapable of getting through 90 minutes without a total balls up. He doesn't just make small errors, he makes catastrophic errors that lead to goals time and time again. Waste. of. space.

As both stoatey and kingfisher said during the match I'd rather Furlong play at centre back and literally anybody play at right back. Put Ingram at right back if it means Lynch is nowhere near the pitch. I'll get my Mum to travel down if need be, she'll still perform better than Lynch!

If he get's a new contract I'm shutting down this website!

Last 4 Championship games:
Wigan 2-1 QPR: 94th min handball - penalty not given for QPR.
QPR 3-4 Birmingham: 95th min penalty missed by Wells.
Bristol City 2-1 QPR: Ludicrous 94th min penalty given to BC.
QPR 2-3 West Brom: 94th min winner for WBA.

We’ve simply got to beat the teams around us from now on and try to nick draws at the teams near the top
Problem is we are struggling to beat teams like Preston and Birmingham who are around us too
We are in a battle if the lower 4 or 5 start winning games and we don’t
A win doesn’t look likely against boro and Leeds and that’s worrying because what could be a comfortable end to the season could turn into squeaky bum time

I would caution forum readers to not get too despondent. Firstly, we are not going to get relegated - no way! Secondly, our run of bad luck (and it is) has reached a point where we are playing the top teams; and under normal circumstances we would not be expecting to win anyway! (Bear in mind that QPR have spent nothing in transfer fees this season, whereas the top sides and others have spent a small fortune! For example, a single Watford sub in the game was worth more than our entire team!!) As northwesthoop pointed out, we have bottom sides to play still and should focus upon winning those and those of teams currently around us. If you remove Lynch from the equation, our performances are not shocking but rather the opposite - they are hard-fought and usually entertaining. So 'Keep Calm & Continue To Support QPR'!

Yes, lots of positives in the performances but ridiculous levels of bad luck. We may have lost 5 matches in February (with 2 very difficult ones still to come) but we shouldn't have lost any of them. I've never seen a run like it. I just hope that it doesn't kill morale (it doesn't seem to have so far) and that Freeman is fit again soon.
