Harsh but more than fair.
Agree on MOTM as well, thought Clarke Salter had a decent game | | |  |

Clarke-Salter as we know is decent if he can stay available for any length of time. The lack of goal threat will kill us though. | | | |

Don't know how you do it, Clive. And there's two for the price of one in there.
1. I don't know how you manage to religously drag yourself up and down the country following this Band of Merry Men (I started typing Brothers but then realised they couldn't be any more opposite than them) at the moment*.
2. I don't know how you continue to write such high quality (again the complete opposite from them) reports on such a consistent basis. To be fair, the team and manager are providing you with some great material, at the moment*.
*at the moment, is effectively the last 25 years, give or take a season or two.
I'm still shitting myself that you're going to transfer to Sunderland. Although, with their form at the moment, you'd have nothing worth writing home about.
Stat attack:Paal is our highest goal scorer and highest foul thrower, so far this season.
It's anyones guess as to which one of those stats, if any, will be overtaken this season. [Post edited 6 Oct 2023 2:28]

Depressingly accurate. | |

I’m a bit disappointed that the throw ins weren’t on the highlights. | | | |

I think that's all very fair.

Thanks Clive.
I'm with you in not understanding the system that we are attempting to play! The more I look at it, I can't decide whether Kakay is meant to be the right side central defender in a back three, or right back in a back four.
I'm considering the possibility that we've re-invented the position so that the same player is meant to occupy both places. Especially as Dunne looked to be given the same role.
Can somebody please enlighten me? | | | |

Huge respect to the travelling R's and to Clive for the report, what an absolute dire trip to watch that dross. I wasn't even able to catch the stream.

Having not seen the game I’m hankering after an Rs throw-in masterclass montage too. Maybe an extended edit stretching to 3 mins 37 seconds and set to Herbie Hancock’s Rockit. Top report as ever Clive. | | | |

On the whole he did but for the goal he got caught ball watching when he should have been tighter to goal scorer. | |

1st Half performance yet again raises serious questions regards Ainsworth's tactics.
Playing out from the back against a quick and athletic recently relegated premier league team would not be my Plan A.
Doing so via Ossie Kakay would not be a Plan B or C or a few of the following letters of the alphabet.
Playing Armstrong as a lone striker instead of Dykes in that role is beyond comprehension.
Starting two forwards in Dykes and Armstrong and trying to play out from the back in that 1st Half takes some explaining. | | | |

If Blackburn score early Saturday. We kinda know what’s coming . Huff and puff and little else. Can’t remember the last time we put in a sustained 45 min onslaught into the loft end.
Seems like years ago.
Depressing really. Like watching a film 20 times over with the same ending . Usually a hammer horror.
Still we go again. | | | |

It’d be great if the club could do a ‘Really bad throw in of the month’ competition and on its 10th anniversary, invite all the seasons winners back to compete in a grand finale against Lyndon Dykes. | | | |

Thankfully I didn't mange to catch the stream as I was working (there is a God!) so this is a superb read. Just like being there (without the utter despondent ballache of traipsing around the broken country and having to sit through the latest 90 minutes of slop).
Definitely think I get the better end of that particular deal.. | |

Penalty shootout against Dykes you mean? Hope so, could be onto a winner here. | | | |

Brilliant Clive.
The Adamoh throw in debacle had the wife and I in stitches.
Because it’s true!
I agree with the sentiment at the end. We all knew it would be bad. We all knew we would be so under equipped, but there are certain things you do expect the management and the players to be able to do whether we win games or not.
As you say, it’s very bleak indeed.
To emphasis this I had a choice of Blackburn tomorrow or taking the family on the Jack The Ripper tour tomorrow…guess which one I chose ?

Being poor at taking and defending set pieces seems to have been a problem for us for years now, but if I could ask Ainsworth and his team one question it would be about the hell we are so woeful in that respect, oh, and have they ever heard of a footballer called Joe Jacobson*?
When sports psychologists talk about controlling the controllables, your own free kicks are a perfect example. You are handed the ball so you can do something productive with it. Our set pieces are more threatening to our own team than the opposition. Perhaps we work on that in training. Who the hell knows? Grimly awful 
* No, I am not advocating signing him. | |

It's so sad but predictable, currently on holiday in Canada so will not have to suffer the predictable defeat to Blackburn on Saturday from my upper loft seat. Been to a couple of League 1 games at Northampton Town this season, believe me this QPR team would struggle to do anything in that division. | | | |

It makes me cringe and want to go and hide.
It’s a tiny microcosm of everything we are from the owners to the manager to the players.
Embarrassing really | | | |
