QPR v Milwall 18JUL20 4 - 3 FT [57pts/14th]

Great result > our first EVER league double over Millwall. And we stop them making the play offs in the process.

Today kind of embodies this current QPR team - on its day it can outscore anybody.

But we cannot defend, and will not progress until we can do the basics.

Teams like Preston who have similar budgets are more consistent because they do the basics first and then build upon that.

Positive:

With 65 goals scored we've made it our 4th best scoring season in the last 25 years

Negative:

If we concede 2 goals against West Brom it will be our worst season defensively since 1969. Even conceding 1 will equal 75 from our relegation season in 2001.

Post Millwall Stats


The win against Millwall moves us up 2 places to 14th

We can still finish 13th but can now only finish as low as 16th.

Making it 16 wins in a season is now the most we've won in a season since the 2013/14 play off winning season

Another positive is that in reaching 57 points we've got our best points total in the past 4 seasons (beating the 51, 56 and 53 achieved in the last 3).

If (big if) we can beat West Brom on the final day we'll equal our best total since relegation of 60

With 65 goals scored we've made it our 4th best scoring season in the last 25 years

If we concede 2 goals against West Brom it will be our worst season defensively since 1969. Even conceding 1 will equal 75 from our relegation season in 2001 which is currently the worst season we had defensively in that half century.



After Dominic Ball opened his QPR goal scoring account in midweek both Conor Masterson and Todd Kane achieved the same feat against Millwall

Ebere Eze has started 45 games out of 45 and is now odds on to become only the 3rd QPR player in 12 years to start every game of the season.

Bright Osayi-Samuel missed his first league match since 22 November (Fulham away)

Shodipo tasted victory for the first time since the opening day of the season - his first win in his last 10 appearances.

As I've done more stats over the years it's made then easier to come up with some new ones as they all link together in the end! I also post them on twitter and facebook and it's helping the site to get some traction on social media which in turn should help us get some new regular members.


I have to say thanks to everyone myself for the amount of recent posts we've had on site. Some of the recent matchdays have set records for the amount of posts in 1 day and again this helps the site grow! All positive stuff.

Most of the time anyway :-)

I can't see us looking to bring in Mousinho as he is 34 and we already have Geoff Cameron as our experienced defensive midfielder in the squad. I think they would be too similar.

Sorry to hear you are in hospital singlespeed but keep your spirits up. 

Always good to see your views on QPR and whilst it's going to be difficult against the Baggies it won't be long until we can build up our expectations for next season.
