Not what you were saying for most of the game fella. Need to keep your powder dry until the final whistle. The team is showing a depth of character that has been lacking for years. |  | |  |

| QPR v Pissed on knob end match Fred on 17:26 - Sep 19 by stevec | Feels like a loss against one of the worst sides I’ve seen in years. Great comeback, all very exciting, but that first half was off the scale unacceptable. |
That's the 3rd "one of the worst sides we've seen for years" so far this season at Loftus Road. Maybe teams at this level aren't actually that good? |  | |  |
| QPR v Pissed on knob end match Fred on 17:58 - Sep 19 with 1740 views | Wegerles_Stairs | The ref, who looked like Ronald Koeman's idiot brother, should be launched into outer space. We were awful first half but fair play, Stephan got us going in the second. Fantastic atmosphere and if Nico had won it at the death, the stadium would have spontaneously combusted. |  | |  |
| QPR v Pissed on knob end match Fred on 18:01 - Sep 19 with 1693 views | ericgen34 | Great result and second half. We could, should have won that! An encouraging thing is how better some players look, how better the team spirit is and how better we all round play. In years past I think we would have tried to limit the damage. Stephan et al are obviously doing good work On QPR+, never a red card, but as soon as the - weak - ref was surrounded by Preston players all crying wolf, I thought Cirkin would get a card, but I thought a yellow one |  | |  |

| QPR v Pissed on knob end match Fred on 17:05 - Sep 19 by sdm1508 | Played crap first half. Down to 10 men for a lot of the game. Came out and went for it and made people forget that fact. Passion, and fight and a great goal in the last minute to get a well deserved point and could have won it at the end. There's the rub |
Not knocking the 2nd half comeback at all, it was great. But a few were wondering how we didn't win that game (and Bolton come to that). 30 shots and only 2 XG prob explains it, and highlights something we need to work on if we are to turn some of these draws into wins... |  | |  |

Ref bottled it. Honestly an atrocious refereeing performance throughout (both for and against us, but mostly against us). |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

| QPR v Pissed on knob end match Fred on 17:37 - Sep 19 by GaryBannister86 | Feels like a loss? I've been going for 45 years and that was a wonderful second half and a great feeling at the end. Mega scenes in the Loft. Loved it personally. |
Great second half, exciting, I get all that, celebrated the equaliser like we’d won the league, done that many times too. Trouble is, we don’t win any leagues, we win fck all, and if you think that was like a win, then we might us well pack up and vote ourselves 15th place for evermore. The first half is what everyone should be concentrating on, if we’re ever going to compete. |  | |  |

| QPR v Pissed on knob end match Fred on 17:19 - Sep 19 by Match82 | Disagree. Absolute textbook and I'd bet that's exactly what he intended (even if he was probably a bit surprised that it actually came off perfectly. Left foot curving away from the keeper, unstoppable. |

| QPR v Pissed on knob end match Fred on 17:03 - Sep 19 by HAYESBOY | We are definately different this year. That second half was fcking brilliant. So proud of the players. They believed they could get back in the game. How we havent won it I dont know. What a hit by Smyth. Poku Kamara the picj for me. Both so dangerous going forward. Adamson again, fantastic. We should appeal the card. |
We wouldn't win that appeal. Probably a yellow but you can see why it was a red, he was out of control after he lost the ball. Shades of Gazza '90 |  | |  |

I think the 1st half can be explained by the going a goal down after 20s through a mistake, an outrageous red card and a goal conceded after a bit of pinball and a shot accross goal that 9 times out of 10 goes wide or is deflected. It becomes a big hurdle to get over, but they did. Credit to all for regrouping at half time and finding the spirit and the belief to get over it and produce that second half |  | |  |

Have to agree. Everyone is happy at the comeback, but that first half performance was appalling. The worst this season. I hope JS is questioned on it. |  |

At the beginning of the season forwards seemed to be the least of our worries. But with Kone's injuries and form, whatever is happening with Kolli it is now a concern. No sign of Obikwu today either. Hopefully Kone and Kolli will available in three weeks time and of course it's very positive the amount of chances that we create, there is a good chance that things will improve sooner rather than later. |  | |  |
| QPR v Pissed on knob end match Fred on 18:27 - Sep 19 with 1294 views | ManinBlack | I guess I worry too much. Great to see that character today but most of us expected 3 points before kick off. We have played five home league and cup games this season and only won once. If the club have ambitions of being in the top 6 at the business end of the season then we really need to start winning at home. This run of draws has seen Stoke make up 7 points on us to draw level. We are seeing better displays but the end result at home is still disappointing in terms of dropped points as has happened in the past few seasons. |  | |  |

I get it, but for me football isn't just about seasons, competitions, league positions and silverware. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to win something, and I'd love us to finish higher up the league table. But for me football is primarily about matches. That one started badly. It got worse. And then worse again. But we fought back, and we were all over them at the end. We didn't win but we scored twice to not lose, and that feels really really good after being so despondent halfway through the game. |  | |  |
| QPR v Pissed on knob end match Fred on 18:37 - Sep 19 with 1171 views | HammersmithR | Look, I’m delighted we got a point but Preston were there for the taking from the get go. The team selection was appalling. Chucking in a 16 year old when Smyth, Saito and Lloyd were all on the bench. Unfortunate to have Vale get injured in the warm up, but why for the life of me replace him with a defensive midfielder. We are playing a side without a manager and struggling for any form. The game showed once again our inability to convert so many clear cut chances. The ref didn’t help. Gave them so much. The time wasting from their keeper was a joke but somehow was not booked despite giving us a corner at one point! How have the club allowed Kone to come back from pre season so unfit? That appears double standards if Kolli is deemed to be unfit to be in the side. Where was Obikwu today? Played a 10 mins cameo at Charlton and vanished again. That’s 4 games without a win and still only one win at home. I’m afraid this first part of the season we flatter to deceive and mid table it will be. Too many players are just not cut out for the intensity of this league or to last 90 mins. |  | |  |

I'm really not sure that concentrating on the negative is the way to go. That way depression, decline and inevitable mediocrity lie. That was a huge morale boosting second half, concentrate on that, fixate on that, more of that please. Bloody hell enjoy the good stuff while you can. |  | |  |

Ref was weak as hell: Preston have managed to work out you can still massively time waste with a ref like this if he only starts counting down 5 seconds after you’ve spent 45 seconds faffing around before even looking like you might take a goal kic. |  | |  |

Nope, sorry chaps prefer to concentrate on the fact that we showed immense character and performed as a unit for the majority of the second half, after bad mistakes in the first. You win games in your head as much as you do on the pitch. To concentrate on that, best forgotten, first half would be an incredibly ridiculously stupid thing to do, IMHO. |  |

But that's not my job, so I'm focusing on that second half. Guts, togetherness, entertainment. When we equalised most of them immediately ran back to half way to try and win it. Adamson, young lad on the other side of the world, giving everything coming into his own. Paul Smyth, Nico Madsen, Jimmy Dunne, Koki Saito, Ronnie, Alfie, all of them really. All likeable, hardworking, clearly care, pride in the shirt. Same with the manager. Old school noisy, chaos. Reminded me of some of those Rowlands, Cook, Furlong era days. I am generally quite easily pleased, but honestly that will do for me. |  | |  |

Gazza only got a yellow card for his tackle in the SF of 1990.I think Cirkin should’ve got the same but it had shades of Varane’s at Blackburn a couple of seasons ago in that all the opposition players decided to hound the ref until they got what they wanted. |  | |  |

That’s where I am, too. Awful goal to concede - JD is not properly match fit. Then the 2nd goal (really should have been dealt with) and the red card. Half time magic from the boss and we p issed that 2nd half with 10 men. I’m delighted with that reaction. We should have won that, but that was a ballsy performance. |  |
