QPR v Birmingham 18Mar23 0 - 1 FT 2t0h/42pts

We deserved to lose.

We only looked mildly threatening when we send long balls over the top towards Armstrong at the end.

Martin was totally anonymous.

Jeez I still struggle every week to get my head around how we have descended to this level.

So Birmingham are safe... That must be nice for them and their fans

Wigan drew with Watford AWAY, so they will be feeling good, and Huddersfield beat Millwall AWAY! We still have points in the bank, but we are wasting so many opportunities to turn losses into draws and draws into wins!!

With hindsight, it seems news that Paal & Chair would be available was just hype. You could equally ask where was Taylor Richards (who should have been working on his match fitness)? Ainsworth needs these players available - yesterday!

She who must be obeyed had me putting up new curtain rails and new curtains so I missed the first half. I have now managed to watch the game and I'm struggling to find anything positive apart from saying we didn't capitulate after again conceding a sloppy early goal.

We haven't scored twice in a game since playing Reading in January so watching Albert make a half hearted attempt at a challenge that resulted in us going behind after 3 minutes turned my hopes of a win into maybe we could get a draw.

I suppose I should have known we weren't going to get anything from the game when Lyndon took a throw in that he promptly threw straight out for a goal kick. Dickie continues to frighten the life out of me every time the ball is in our half. How bad must Gubbins be that he can't get into this team.

We are a team that can't defend and creates next to nothing. Albert and Dickie do not deserve a place in the first team and should only be on the bench as a last resort. I can accept the younger players like Drewe, Armstrong and Dixon Bonner making mistakes because they will learn from them. The issue I have is with the supposed experienced players who are letting the club and the fans down by making the same mistakes game after game or just hiding in the treatment room.

The manager also has to take some of the blame because if our captain and most experienced midfielder is fit enough for the bench then he's fit enough to start especially if he continues to play Field in defence.

The owners are a shambles and at every level below them the rest of the club is also a shambles. Staying in the Championship remains in our own hands but listening to Ainsworth he's basing his entire hope on the return of Balogun, Chair etc., It seems that our new manager now accepts that the set of players he currently has available are not good enough to compete at this level.

When TF and RG took over the club we were debt free and we had guaranteed income of many tens of millions . By the end of this season the achievements of these owners will be to have wasted all that income, got us a FFP fine, managed to get us relegated from the Premiership twice and they now look likely to get us relegated into League One.

I agree
This team deserves no more than relegation
