Another clean sheet goes down the Swannee....

10 mins and a free kick leads to a close in header that an outstretched Kelly is nowhere near... 1-0

and at the death of the first half a corner from the right is passed to an unmarked player on the edge of the box, and in the resulting short passes they get another goal. Poor defending all round!

Such a strange half because if it was 0-0 we'd be saying we are playing great and just need more of the same.

We have played some lovely stuff, BOS should have put us 1-0 up before they scored but Smithies made a great save, Eze hit the post, we've had all of the ball and territory yet we won't be getting anything out of the game because we are so naive. If our final ball was better we could and should be leading the match.

We have given away 2 schoolboy goals. We are showing Cardiff we are scared by taking all of our own set pieces short and trying to do weird stuff with corners. Why is Hugill picking up Flint for the first goal. Crazy.

What was going on for the second goal god only knows. Again I think it comes down to us showing them too much respect at set pieces, it looks like we are overthinking how to take and defend set pieces and just making a mess of things.

Funny thing is we do, we have had 70% plus possession and look really good in open play.

We have just made a colossal mess of two set pieces.

We are so poor at the back.

Warburton has made a big error taking Ball off, he was playing fine and since he went off we are getting ripped apart on the break now.

3-0 when Paterson get's a bit lucky with a strike hitting the ground and going in, then it should be 4-0 from, you guessed it, another header from a set piece. It goes just wide.

Such a strange, strange match. We hit the woodwork twice, had all the play and yet are 3-0 down.

We were always going to be vulnerable to long balls as we pressed forward after conceding two softish goals, but I come back to my previous comment: It is more worrying that the goals have dried up. Whilst hitting the woodwork is bad luck and are good chances, in a game like this I am expecting attackers to make more of their chances. I would also add that when it came to dead balls in threatening areas our strategy seemed to be to avoid high balls in (understandably given their height at the back) but we wasted those balls. Now we have to bounce back, somehow, on Saturday!

We were missing our 2 first choice centre backs tonight in Hall and Barbet so that should be taken into consideration but it was shambolic defending for the first 2 goals that killed our chances. If teams score a 30 yard screamer we can hold our hands up and say well done but we are literally gifting teams goals and giving ourselves mountains to climb.

I also think the sooner Amos is back in the side the better.

I agree the lack of goals in the last 2 games is a bit of a concern but we did create chances tonight. This was a tough run of 2 games against 2 big clubs, the rest of the fixtures this month often us a good chance to turn things around and get moving forwards again.

Have the wheels finally fallen off
2 games 2 losses no goals scored
Bit gutted but it’s only football,not end of the world
Our defence is bad but you still need to score to win games
Cardiff are the most direct team in the league and our poxy defence didn’t stand a chance
We play pretty football but with no end product at the moment
We have to try to turn it round on Saturday or is this the start of our usual bad run we always have

How can a team with only 28% possession and 4 shots on target win 3-0 that’s beyond belief in my opinion
The goals were so soft really really soft,they literally walked one of the goals in,they probably couldn’t believe their luck
Warburton has to sort our defence out big time,the goals will come back as we create chances and we did hit the post twice tonight
But no clean sheets is very worrying indeed and we are getting found out with our schoolboy defending,the West Brom goals were soft too
We are guilty of creating our own problems at the moment

Our defence is slow and not physical enough to make us a top half team,id rather play like Cardiff and win than play fancy football and lose 3-0,when you see Cardiff cruised to 3-0 win in the papers,they didn’t they just took their chances from poor defending
We are wide open at the back and until that is sorted we will have to rely on our goalscorers but they have dried up too now
It almost feels like a smash and grab by Cardiff as we gave them the first 2 goals,if we lose 3 in a row then mid table is all we can hope for as I think the table will start to open up
We’re still only 3 points of third and that shows how poor this league is as I think we could of won one of the games we lost

I disagree with this. We aren't really wide open at the back, we are just defending pathetically at times.

Last night the first 2 goals were set pieces, on Saturday the first was a goalkeeping error, the second a free kick. Against Luton the first was Lumley passing the ball to the striker.

We were wide open for the 3rd last night as we chased the game but overall 6 of the last 8 goals conceded were completely avoidable and not due to the way we are set up.

We aren't wide open, we are just incredibly naive at times and making a lot of individual errors.

Play fantastic football but can’t defend -QPR
Play crap football and can defend - Cardiff

Frustrating because we don’t get outplayed in most games and only team West Brom we were outclassed but nobody else
Fine margins in this league as if we’d of made it 2-1 we’d of got a draw probably

Post Cardiff Stats

The defeat against Cardiff drops us down to 11th, a drop of 6 places in 5 days overall

We have suffered back to back defeats for the second time this season

We have failed to score in 3 of the 10 league games so far

They say you can draw conclusions after 10 games of the season... well after 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats and sitting 11th we look as mid table as they come. We've beaten the teams currently 24th, 19th, 18th, 17th and 9th and lost to the teams sitting 1st, 3rd, 7th and 10th which further emphasises that point. Our only win against a current top half team was Sheffield Wednesday (9th).

Our next 4 games in October are all currently below us in the table.

We still haven't kept a clean sheet in any competition (12 games) and our 17 goals conceded in the 10 league games is only 1 fewer than at this point last season.

Liam Kelly of course made his QPR league debut so Joe Lumley misses a QPR league game for the first time since August 2018, a run of 51 straight league appearances broken.

Suspension meant Barbet also missed his first league match of the season leaving us with just 3 players to have appeared in all 10 games - Manning, Eze and Hugill. Only Manning and Eze have started all 10 league games.

Bright Osayi-Samuel is continuing his miserable win and defeat percentages from last season. He only has 1 win so far this season and we lose 67% of the time when he is on the pitch. Last season he appeared 27 times and we lost 70% of the time, the worst record of any player. Is he a weak link or just incredibly unlucky?
