We’re a bit stodgy in midfield, neither Field or Madsen getting on the ball effectively and efficiently enough. Colback’s willingness to walk around and create angles is a miss. Effecting our capacity to get Dembele the ball in spaces off of their midfield players. Will be even harder to achieve now they’ve got 10. Mumba muting Smyth’s pace a bit and Saito not really in the game, Kolli for him after 60-65.
Impressed with Cissoko down their left. Can’t understand why they’re playing in a Jamaica kit though.

That’s alright We will sign another 6 players next week And then we’re sorted On a serious note Marti needs to get the team to gel quickly and also start winning soon and also scoring more goals I still think this season is going to be a struggle And we have some good players now too Until we find a way of scoring without chair it will be a hard season

I hate to be greedy but, I still think we need a pacey striker who can finish. Frey and Celar are quite similar, old fashioned centre forward types. We need someone who can react quickly and take their chance, even if it's the only one they get all game.

Totally agree Frey and celar are very similar We need a little pacey forward A Nahki Wells type striker would be perfect

A frustrating game to watch if you were supporting QPR - less so if supporting Plymouth Time-wasters! Each of the new signings looks good. The problem is that they are not finishing tackles or passes or goal attempts well.... We did indeed need to dominate and be clinical in our finishing. It says everything when I say Dunne was our best forward!
Martí blinked too early. Taking Saito off made us predictable with two strikers we were always going to hit. Never did enough despite creating chances. Draw was a fair result. Red card came at an ideal time for us, because if it hadn’t I think they could’ve taken it away from us with the control they had at that point. I did say a week ago in the fun bus that we wouldn’t win a game before the international break.
Last season Plymouth had a man sent off just as they were taking control and following that red card had plenty of chances but couldn't score despite creating chances. Same today.
Dembele has hit the ground running and looks very good
Saito looked a bit shaken up by the robust tackles from the Plymouth midfield and might need to spend a bit more time in the gym
Madsen looked decent and once he adapts to Marti tactics and gets used to his team mates we will hopefully, see a quality player
Varane only came on for 10 minutes but still managed to get booked. Needs to adjust his tackling technique or he will be suspended more than Colback.
Celar had two good chances but lacked the composure to finish either. Has good movement but like some of our other newbies the physicality of the Championship will take some getting used to.
Whatever happens with Chair and Dykes over the next few days it remains clear that we need to bring in a proven striker who can finish.
