Well done to MK Dons. Today was an opportunity missed by Holloway to give a few of our younger players a try. We know that the majority of this team are not Championship standard and so it has been proved today.
Hopeless. Our FA Cup record is really starting to gripe with me. There is just nothing to get excited about this season (or the last few seasons) and i just really wanted something to get going about.

MK dons are struggling in league one We shouldn't lose to them at home with a nearly full strength side,it's not good enough,our cup record is shambolic If we lose to Burton next week I want Holloway out The board must be getting sick of our cup form and opportunity to make extra income seems to come to nothing Good old QPR out of the cup again
Whilst we were the better team today the problem continues to be our lack of a clinical finisher and a leader. As a result we play too many high balls into Smith hoping he can get on the end of one. Once opposing teams see Smith on the team sheet they set up to stop him. It's too predictable and because it's more hit and hope the opposing defenders manage to stop many of the crosses becoming dangerous. As we have seen in previous games Smith is more of an impact player who you can bring on late to rescue the game.
We shouldn't expect to lose in the cup I don't take it on the chin like others seem to do I didn't bother to check the score to be honest during the game,as I stated it had cup upset written all over it Look at it this way we are out of the cups and could go down Holloway you've done a smashing job
QPR 0 MK DONS 1 QPR now have the worst FA Cup 3rd Round record in the country with 49 defeats in the 3rd Round. QPR haven't won a 3rd Round tie without the need of a replay for 22 years. QPR have just 4 wins in the FA Cup in 20 years. @fcbusiness @facupfactfile
Twitter comments Cheers Hollie, I’ll match the Bitcoin phenomena, 14-1 Qpr to be relegated is a fantastic way to retire earlier than expected, #QPR.
So many times over the years I've seen #QPR fans put things down to a manager's style of play, as if he controls them on a joystick and doesn't want them to attack more or pass the ball more. But today, now *that* was an example of a manager's style of play being the issue.
Today's result was disappointing, but what was worse was Ollie instructing the team to pump it up to Smith when Freeman, Chair and Scowen were looking to get it down and play. Going route one is predictable and easy to defend against, hence why most avoid doing it! #QPR
I've said it so many times I'm not a fan of Smith as he tempts us to play long ball and he isn't actually a good target man. He attacks crosses well but his hold up game is mostly poor for his size.
Even against Cardiff we got back in the game from a long throw Smith headed in. Ideally we shouldn't need that. Against Brentford the unlikely 2-2 draw came from set pieces to Smith.
We are a laughing stock And the cup stats prove it No excuses for yesterday MK dons are struggling in league one and we had a nearly full strength side out on the pitch Rumours have it sylla and Washington are out of favour and Holloway wants them out We so need a decent striker or two and stop playing hoof ball and start playing football on the floor It looks like you only need to score one goal against us and it's game over
According to Ollie there were 6 reasons we lost on Saturday:
1. We missed Mass 2.The Scowen/Hall mistake 3 A lack of intensity 4.A possible lack of belief 5.Refereeing decisions 6.The Ellersie Road Stand was closed.
He forgot to mention that the manager also needs to take some of the blame!
