On the pitch yesterday's match continued to expose the major flaws in this QPR team and they have been there for several seasons.
We lack any real leaders on the pitch.
Our central defenders lack any pace.
We don't have a goal scorer.
Off the pitch we are years behind Brentford, TF does a lot of talking about a new stadium whereas the Brentford owners have put their money where their mouth is and are actually building a new stadium.
It's the same with team development, Brentford have bought in players like Lasse Vibe, Chris Mepham, Harley Dean, Jota etc., and then developed them before selling for big profits. Even in their current squad they have players like Watkins, Maupay and Benrahma who have been bought cheaply in the last couple of seasons and are now worth millions. We wait for Spurs to discard members of their youth team and then hope that Spurs were wrong and we can turn them into a diamond. The difference is that Brentford are recruiting the majority of their young players with some League experience and then polishing them before selling.
It's enough of an issue when we have to compete with Chelsea and Fulham for young fans but when we are also falling behind Brentford it shows just how poorly the club is now managed.
