Coventry Vs QPR

I thought their second was onside, we can have no complaints.

We were better in the second half, but the second killed us off.

In fairness we still didn't really look scoring. Apart from a Dickie shot we had no threat at all.

I think Beale needs to consider how we don't get enough bodies in the box. Dykes was by himself time after time. Unless we put in a world class ball that gets to him and not their 3 centre backs how can we score?

We have literally imploded. 1 point from 15. Jeez.

Long 4 weeks now to stew on this run of form. Only Burnley up next...

I have sympathy for Beale because when we are without key players he has to choose from some very average replacements. Trying to replace Leon Balogun, Stefan Johansen, Kenneth Paal and Tim Iroegbunam from our squad is an impossible task.

JCS is never a left back, Dozzell isn't good enough, Dickie has to be the slowest player we've ever had and when you have subs like Thomas, Shodipo, Hamalianen and Kakay as your change options it shows our limitations.

Where I do believe Beale has made a mistake is bringing in Richards and Roberts who are both sick notes and even when they do play they add nothing.

At the start of the season if someone had said Beale would have us in 7th as we go into the World Cup break I'd have taken that. I still believe that with our squad he's done a brilliant job to get us in the top 10.

Exactly. You could put Haaland on the pitch today and he wouldn't score. We created nothing. Literally nothing.

I want Beale to watch that match back with the players and freeze frame the match on the many, many occasions when we had the ball but Dykes is in the box with no QPR players anywhere near him. They really need to think of a different plan of attack.

Only QPR could go top and then score 1 goal and get 1 point from the next 5 games.

I'm sure he is as exacerbated as the rest of us. Yesterday isn't really the issue. If we'd picked up the points that we should have at home against the bottom 2 we'd be fine.

In his defence I would add:

Assuming Beale's preferred/strongest QPR line up is:

Dieng
Laird Balogun JCS Paal
Iroegbunam Field Johansen
Willock Dykes Chair

...this team has yet to start together this season

Even if you change Dykes for Roberts and that is still only 1 start for his favoured 11 (Bristol City away)

Injuries are hurting us. We have no decent options off the bench to try and change a game once injuries hit. When everybody is fit it means we have the likes of Amos and Roberts to come off the bench, who can impact a game. Otherwise it is the likes of Shodipo, who is simply not good enough.
