1-1. Happiness never lasts for long for QPR does it!
Gaps at the back.
The match so far sums up our season - we are a good team who can match the best teams for long periods. However until we learn to defend and become 'game smart' like keeping it tight to go in 1-0 at half time we will never be able to progress.
Couldn't the Baggies have just waited until after half-time? I was enjoying the moment!!

We shoot ourselves in the foot time after time.... we had worked out way into the game, deserved to score when we did, we were continuing on the front foot playing nice stuff then out of nowhere we concede and now West Brom have their verve back.
Robinson just volleyed wide after having a goal ruled out for a tight but probably correct offside.
The amount of twists that have already been in play tonight at both ends..the Championship truly is the best league in England!
I can't wait to see how this all pans out in the second half. I'm watching both our game and the Brentford game, and neither side really deserves anything at the moment!

2-1 West Brom
A shambolic example of our defending once again.
1) We shouldn't let the player through my the touchline, we had 2 against 1 and should at the very least get it out for a throw or pull the man back once he breaks free (again we aren't 'game smart' - take the yellow)
2) How on earth is a striker that free in our box? The gap between Barbet and Manning was embarrassing. Literally embarrassing.

I cannot see the game (don't ask) so relying on you lot, but is it a case of Barbet being sucked over to compensate for Manning's inability to deal with players on the wing?

I actually went back to watch it a few times. For the whole move Robinson is free between Barbet and Manning. Barbet needs come over to the near side and visibly calls and points to Manning to pick up Robinson. Manning does not respond at all, the ball comes over and Robinson is in acres. So, so easy but so, so avoidable. Manning instantly panics and calls for offside once the ball hits the net.
Manning. Cannot. Defend.
It is well worth watching the whole move for that goal a few times to see how poor Manning's defensive nous is.
Despite all of that....
EZE MAKES IT 2-2. WHAT A GOAL. A BEAUTIFUL FINISH.
