Charlton Vs QPR

If you needed any proof that BOS is looking to be elsewhere next season see his performance today.



I have to take Kelly out of the positives kingfisher because he should have saved the goal. He made a meal out of that.

Re Kelly, possibly he should have saved that one but his quick thinking and positioning saved the day on two other occasions. We are examining the wrong third of the pitch though. Hugill got nowhere today and that is largely because the service from BOS, Chair & Eze at the beginning was poor. Hugill did hold up the ball at times, only to find nobody there to assist. Our problems are magnified by the lack of scoring, not defensive errors, in my opinion.
Re BOS' performance, he has not exactly showcased his skills these last two games, so I do not feel he has done his prospects any good at all. 

Player Rankings given by WLS:

Liam Kelly: 6 Darren Pratley’s header for the goal was a pretty good one and the keeper was rarely called into action after that. Turned Macauley Bonne’s strike behind for a corner later on.

Angel Rangel: 6 The veteran was matched up with a younger Albie Morgan, who is 20, but was not challenged one-on-one too much. Made the occasional foray forward.

Conor Masterson: 7 He had to contend with high-pressing forwards and wingers, and maybe took a little too long to decide at times. Still finding his feet but did okay.

Yoann Barbet: 5 Following a solid performance against Barnsley last week, this one was a little less assured. His passing left a lot to be desired at times but he improved somewhat as the game progressed.

Ryan Manning: 6 While the left-back got forward more during the second half, as QPR searched for an equaliser, Charlton dealt with his attacks well.

Dominic Ball: 6 Held in midfield with his tackling and covering for Geoff Cameron’s runs before trying to get involved himself. Did have a half-chance at one point but it did not come to anything.

Geoff Cameron: 6 Made a noticeable difference in midfield after returning from a one-match suspension, although his forward runs often went to waste.

Bright Osayi-Samuel: 5 Not his best performance. His opposite number Deji Oshilaja, who is not a natural left-back, did well to keep him quiet.

Ilias Chair: 5 Tried to find what little pockets he could behind Charlton’s midfield but opportunities were limited. A little guilty of not making the right pass sooner when it matter.

Ebere Eze: 5 Got on the ball early and often but his shots were often wayward and did not work the goalkeeper enough.

Jordan Hugill: 5 Often looked frustrated by the lack of good service into him, and quite rightly. Little appeared to change from last week’s defeat at Barnsley. Had very few chances to test the Charlton back four.

Olamide Shodipo: 6 Stretched the opposition defence with his speed and width but the end product was lacking.

Aramide Oteh: 6 Played as a second striker behind Hugill after coming on but barely affected the game.

Luke Amos: 6 He brought a bit of energy defensively for QPR when the opposition looked to be making inroads for a second goal.

Todd Kane: 6 The right-back replaced Rangel and helped force the issue for QPR as they desperately sought an equaliser. It proved to not be enough, though.

Faysal Bettache: 6 A 13-minute cameo for the teenager, who replaced Ball.

Those WLS ratings are dubious at best, laughable at worse.
If Kane - who made a string of mistakes and whose forward passing accuracy was 33% - gets a 6, and Hugill - the less said the better for a peaceful night's sleep - gets a 5, what on earth do you have to do to get a 4 or 3?
WLS = Was Looking Somewhere-else? Wantonly Losing Sanity?

Warburton and the players think the season is over already,it isn’t 
that 7-1 from Chelsea has really hit us hard 
if we don’t win another game we will be very near to going down or league one next season is a certainty 
can this year get any worse,well let’s say it could

At 2.30 last Saturday before kick off a large section of our fans thought with a few more positive results we were a good outside bet for the play offs.

By 2.30 this week we are now heading for League 1.

The life of a QPR fan!

As always your comments are spot on kingfisher. 

I haven't seen the Warburton interview yet but I'm off to have a look!
