QPR v Sheff Weds 10APR21 4 - 1 FT 11th/56pts

A fair score at half time. We look like a team with little to play for. You can see in the tempo of some of our play and body language of the players that it doesn't really matter.

I have to say Kakay is just not good enough. I'm sorry but he offers little going forward and is verging on being a liability as a wing back. He is the right back equivalent of Hamalainen i.e. just not good enough for this level.

Wednesday know that and are constantly trying to get in behind him. They tempt him to push forward and then knock it behind him. They did it for the goal and have nearly got more down that side a few times with a couple of half chances.

People always criticise Kane's crossing but at least he offers a constant attacking threat.

2-1 - Johansen strikes from 25 yards at little pace, takes a deflection...the goalkeeper has an absolute nightmare. He should save it despite the deflection 999 times out of 1000

3-1! Dykes with the double - our first double of the season!!

Terrible defending from a Wednesday perspective. Good cross from Dickie pushing forward, Willock wins the header knocking it back across goal and Dykes heads it back across goal the other way again and it drops in easy as you like

the fourth goal was a combination between Thomas on the left crossing and Willcok cleanly slotting in!

FT Stats:

51/49 possession
5/10 shots
4/2 shots on target
1/1 corners [unusually low]
4/7 fouls [low for us]

Yes Willock is showing his class and it was a good performance. I have to admit though I was urging him to move more though. He is definitely in the 'Eze living' camp!

for me it was the consolation goal at 3-0 down against forest which was the key for me Dykes scoring that goal versus Forest has breathed a confidence into young Lyndon now lets hope this brace hes scored today can put his misfortune to bed

the team all played well with no standout performances from anyone i had no idea Lyndon had scored 9 times this season (lets face it for a first season in championship thats a real good effort)

big shout out to MW putting Albert on for longer today who showed us the glimpses of what hes got in his locker he really does have a good cross in him and he needs to play more

the team didnt miss Charlie at all today either (did anyone notice that he wasnt playing today?)

my marks for todays team

Dieng 6 didnt really have to do much
Dickie 7 great cross to set up the header to Dykes for his 2nd
De Wijs 7 didnt put a foot wrong looks menacing
Barbet 7 superb cross for Dykes first
Kakay 6 just a body on the pitch i dont think hes upto much tbh think hes only playing cos Kane has thrown a wobbly or something
Field 6 didnt notice him much today not as good as other games
Johansen 7 lucky goal just got on with things (IMO should be captain)
Wallace 6 not his best game didnt do anything wrong
Willock 7 played very well all game delighted for him gettin on scoresheet
Dykes 8 just because he got 2 goals he gets my MOTM seems more confident and better on the ball
Chair 7 better first half than 2nd

rub a dubs

Adomah 6 (almost a 7 hope he gets a start soon and at least one more goal for us....MW has to find a spot in the team for this guy as he has real ability
Thomas 6 great pace and pass to set up Willock looked keen to impress (have a feeling he may be released at end of season though)
Bettache 6 first time ive really seen him and he has something about him (altho looks lightweight)
Ball 5 didnt notice him when he came on


My team for Rotherham

3-4-3
