QPR v Barnsley 0 - 1 Full Time 20JUN2020

Reasonable and logical choice but I have to ask: Why Manning over Wallace at LB? Is it because you expect him to provide extra width down the left going forward - better than Wallace would? being cynical, if we are going to sell Manning on then I would be tempted to play him to showcase him..... 

BBC R5 commentator has just mentioned how good it was to see flags provided by the fans appearing in the stands, and also how good the crowd sound was!

On another note, I see Clarke is included in the subs, along with Bettache/Oteh/Shodipo/Wallace/Kane/Lumley. Come on Clarke and dazzle! 

5 mins gone and (no surprise) Manning is being targeted down their right. We are on the back foot so far.

Woeful start, not put a pass together and 1-0 down.

BOS goes down too easily, Amos didn't track his man, Barbet and Masterson miles apart and split with a simple pass, neat finish.

Ffs 10 mins late to the game 1nd already were down

HT 0-1 The number of corners against us clearly indicates the pressure that Barnsley are imposing upon us in the first half. As you might expect, a good few of the Rs look rusty in terms of accurate passing.... Manning and BOS never get the ball without 2 of their players descending on them. Better performance and better tactics from Barnsley, so perhaps their prep was better?

Agree that Manning started badly but, in his defence, he is being shut down as much as BOS. Closing down the options is forcing Kelly to kick out, and that allows the better heading Barnsley to dominate. Out of interest, we had an amazing 61% possession but managed only 2 shots - neither of which was on target! Barnsley will now slow this game down to throttle it.
