QPR v Derby 1 - 1 FT

Well what can you say? A football game played in the rain by two teams going for it - great for the neutral to watch but 'edge of seat' viewing for the rest of us! A well-deserved draw that could even have been a sneaky win as we did enough for that, but that ref was amongst the worst I have ever seen.... Does anyone else think this was Eze's best performance? He defended really well and showed far better understanding of positioning himself.

Only concerns are for Bidwell and Cousins. Can only hope they recover well as both seem nasty. Their absence saw Wszolek and Hemed come on, with the former doing a fantastic job in defence. Overall it was a great team performance and it is a real shame that, yet again, we come good as a team just before an international break! Despite the draw, we have slipped to 18th on 14 points; so it is really tight out there...

I am not too worried yet about goals, we are scoring and we are creating changes, we should have had 2 today. Granted I would like to see more but I feel confident that they will come.

I think we were the better team today. Spent the game stalking to Ian Stewart who played for us during the 80's and he agrees that Mclaren isn't the one, we need the long term manager who will grow with the club like Bournemouth and and Burnley have done.

A point is better than nothing.
I hate the fact that we didn't beat Derby.
Especially at home but not a bad week.

We keep saying the goals will come
Well I hope it's bloody soon
A draw against Derby is not a bad result
But we could of been 2-0 up before they scored
We seem to lack confidence in front of goal and I hope eventually we will come good
Crazy league were 3 points of tenth
5 points of the bottom 3
West Brom will win the league
Leeds will be second or thereabouts
After that anyone can go up or down
Lampard is a complete knob he claims we left the grass long to stop his team passing the ball well
We had to play on it too mate

Lampard is talking nonsense when he says Derby deserved to win, both sides had chances, from most accounts a draw was a fair result but either side could have sneaked a win.

The highlights below illustrate this.

They also show how Wells is currently both unlucky (hitting the bar) but also lacking that confidence and killer instinct (see his chance at 1.15):

Overall it was a good point and Wells looked very unlucky not to open his account for us. Whilst our strikers continueto fire blanks the Bidwell injury is a bigger worry because it looked quite serious. Hopefully he is back playing soon.

The injury to Bidwell is thankfully not serious, should be ok for the next game even. Big relief.

Cousins also got injured but nothing major for him too.

Good news.
