NOTTINGHAM FOREST V QPR 4-0 FT

As the curiousity killed the cat song says
Straight back down to earth
When we're crap we are really crap
Thankfully we pulled 2 surprise results off in our previous 2 games
What the hell happened today
That bloody ground we are truly cursed

Next season let's just give forest the 3 points
and not bother going to their ground
It's always the way just when you think we've turned a corner we go back to square one again
You now wonder the next game how are we going to line up,will the defence have got over today's kick in the teeth

Both halves went the same way: we started brightly and had a couple of chances, they get in to it and score 1 then dominate for the rest of the half without scoring, we settle before conceding another one late on. The second half was an exact replica of the first.

Diabolical defending for all 4 goals and just a very bad day at the office but the last few games have shown that we’re heading in the right direction. Today was an off day. We go again after the International break and get back on track

Not very hard to give everyone a zero

I take full responsibility. I had a really positive feeling about this one and thought that this would be the time at last. Don't worry, it won't happen again!

Having returned from a weekend away from technology I logged on with anticipation and watched the video highlights with resignation... Bad enough to get 4 goals scored against us, but we could not even score one goal !
So what was the difference? Without seeing (read 'endured') the full 90+ mins I can only offer the following possibilities (all of which may apply of course):
 a) We beat the Blades and Wolves because they were those rare games where all the team played at their best, with a high energy level; whereas it looks like against Notts Forest we were jaded and too many players had an 'off day'
 b) We were playing the previously successful 3-5-2 formation against Forest's 4-4-2 and it looks as if we could not cope with their wide players. This is something we have seen before as other teams have exploited the wings to destroy our Back 3. Ollie needs to develop a strategy (quickly) for dealing with teams that exploit the wings and make fast breaks.
 c) Ollie had set up the team to win. As team confidence was high he must have felt this winning formation and tested players would do the business. Sadly I think Mark Warburton tinkered and came out better on the day...
 d) Ollie had made some bold and inspired substitutions in previous games but not yesterday in my opinion. When Ollie saw the Back 3 being caught with their shorts down so often why did he not bring on Furlong (to go to a Back 4) and introduce Manning for Wheeler?

If we'd not beaten wolves or sheff united
I think Ollie would of got a whole load of stick from the fans
We got 6 points out of 9 in a week
So can't really complain too much although we were dire
