Millwall have had the better chances and Marshall has done well. Millwall had a great chance early but luckily the shot was totally mis hit. Rob Dickie got a yellow right at the end of the half and will need to be careful in the second period.
HT and still 0 - 0 so I guess you would say equal game, but it is obvious that Chair & Willock have been told to focus upon the LHD side; whilst Millwall have (rightly) kept a man tracking Johansen to stop him making anything of the ball, and Dykes is outnumbered. We really do need to push up and try to get a goal! No idea who I would bring on to make a difference...

It was pretty abject from a QPR perspective. Absolutely no spark going forward.
There seems to be too big of a gap between Dykes and anybody else.
Willock and Chair are struggling to get involved - at one point Willock was coming back to get it off the centre backs.
Millwall had a sitter in the first 30 seconds and numerous other decent chances and lots of play in and around the box. We are second best and just look completely off the pace. We look tired and devoid of ideas.

And a major gripe I have tonight is that this is our chance to go 3rd and make a real statement... but where is the urgency and tempo? We should be buzzing and flying around the pitch but we look lethargic.
As far as I can see it our game plan just involves passing it between the defenders.
That first half felt like just waiting for Millwall to score. Massive improvement needed.

To answer myself as to what is needed, what is wrong with switching Chair and Willock over to the right? If nothing else that would keep Jed Wallace starved of service and enable Adomah to get more involved (rather than focusing most balls up the left)...

This is bloody awful. Within the opening seconds of the half Johansen did a terrible pass out to Adomah that had him stretching to keep it in. Just so sloppy and that is setting the standard.
Adomah's marking for the goal is dreadful.
Since the goal we've given it away 3 times in succession.

This is so bad. Willock and Chair guilty this time giving the ball away, again so slack and lazy. They break, Albert is not even in the picture for reasons unknown as they switch it, all too easy and we are looking the worst I've seen this season. This is worse than Barnsley.
