A really bad performance against a really poor side.
Started well and played some lovely football for the 1st 10-15 mins, maybe overplayed a bit for the perfect goal, but unfortunately it is a 90mins games and the rest was poor.
All the goals came from mistakes and poor goals to let in.
Saito, Dunne, very poor, with Bennie looking maybe unfairly out of his depth, but the injury crisis dictates the options and the line up and the changes as the bench looked weak today.
Ending up with a midfield 4 of Vale, Smyth, Morgan, Saito is not going to win you games but it is what it is.
Surprised Stephen did not change it earlier, by bringing in Kolli earlier and go for 2 up to top.
Smyth needs to stop giving away cheap fouls.
Another strange one today was against Coventry when they had a corner we kept 3 up, but when we went 3-1 down we brought everybody back which baffled me a bit
In summary poor performance and a missed opportunity to push for the play offs against a really poor side.
Hope Madsen injury is not serious as that will be a massive miss as most good things go through him.
MOM …can’t honestly pick one.

Apart from his welcome interview I haven't watched a single Julien interview, just can't face it, not sure why. |  | | |

I'm a bit surprised that Sam Field's absence is doing so much in people's minds to limit us.
Field is a useful utility player who can come on and work hard, plug some gaps and put a tackle in (for which he will receive a yellow card) in the right circumstances. But in possession he slows us down and for me is the least progressive central midfield option we have.
Letting him go on loan may have been an error because we're so light in the position overall but assuming the deal is he moves to Norwich permanently should they stay up and we receive a reasonable fee for him then it seems good business with a view to giving the likes of Morgan, Isak and others game time. |
Should Norwich stay up! Under Clement, their form is that of a team with aspirations of making the play-off zone. 7 wins, 3 draws & 4 defeats. By the end of the month, they'll in all likelihood be ahead of us.
A team that is now very well managed and plays a possession-based style of football with purpose, which I wish we could replicate. And all that with sideways Sam playing his part in their team!
Please enlighten me on this eye-catching and progressive free-flowing football of ours that was clearly on display on Saturday and the week before against Charlton, now that Field is no more. [Post edited 16 Feb 13:31]

Would be lovely to know why everyone expects this season. We aren’t going up, we aren’t going down (finally) - we are riddled with injured to our midfield and attack. Today was bad but the manager got experience for a young player and two of the experiences CBs had a bad game whilst BBurn were clinical. Go with Kolli next game sure, but this isn’t the end of the world |
Well we lost so everyone comes out the woodwork to stick their oar in.
So much quieter on here when we win.
I don't think the manager is doing any better than Cifuentes but he's not helped when most of his best players are injured and the pitch is in poor condition (not as bad as at Grimsby, mind). Hopefully he's given time and the resources needed, Mr Nourry.
Inevitably we all hope that next season will be better but I've been doing that for ten years and no change, feels like we are stuck here forever 
And yet for all of that we're still only four points off the playoffs. |  |

I loved Warburton, he spoke very clearly and there was never any ambiguity with what he said, but don't forget his last season when he had his big push for playoffs left us with some large contracts with Austin and Johanson that killed the budget for the next couple of years.
In truth I think it was his attitude towards the development squad that did for him. He blocked pathways to the first team because he didn't think anyone was good enough.
-- I think time has vindicated this, and it would be interesting to see him in that position again, where his ethos might match the CEO.
Keeping >21 year olds around just in case doesn't happen anymore at HQ and thats probably a good thing |  | | |

No, instead we sign them at the age of over 21. Kealey Adamson being a case in point for a just in case signing who is nowhere near Championship calibre. | | | |

Norwich always were in a false position but yes, they are very much on an upward trajectory. At least we don't have to play them again this season. | | | |

Probably need some perspective here.
Kealy Adamson is probably on about £3k a week, so is a very low risk signing. If it works it could be great, but its probably not the type of expensive we need to lose any sleep over. It's not the same as signing Asmir Begovic on a long contract... | | | |

How is Field a “journeyman”? He’d only been at West Brom (1 or 2 loan spells when he was young), and then us for 4 and a half seasons. And in those seasons he won Players’ Player of the Year, and Fans’ Player of the Year, as well as runner up in both, in separate seasons. He’s the opposite of a journeyman. Over 4 seasons he proved he is effective at this level.
Last two starts for Norwich, they’ve had 60% possession and thoroughly outplayed their oppo with him at the heart of central midfield.
There is a strange narrative that has built up online by those who don’t rate him which simply isn’t based on reality. Yes, he’s been poor this season, but he’s barely had any minutes, and when he has played it’s been at left back. Anyone would struggle to get into a rhythm and play well. The prior 4 seasons he was very good for us and picked repeatedly by every manager we had.
When he went to Norwich, they were something like 9 points behind us. If they are ahead of us at the end of the season, with him starting in central midfield, will people consider that perhaps he was good enough for still? Sadly, I think it already looks likely Norwich will want him permanently in the summer and that will be that.
Again, I personally think you need a few “lifers” like him, Chair, Dunne, in your sides to set the standards and also make the team more than just a waiting room before you move onto other things. If every player is part of the player trading model, who is there who really cares about the club? Who will really stand up when things get tough? Who will put their body on the line if they could be sold in a few months? [Post edited 16 Feb 10:03]

Yeah. Bad choice of word on my part. I meant "journeyman within the squad." I see him as a important defensive player, but not tied to a specific position. And not a player who regularly brings the ball out of defense upfield to feed the forwards. Doesn't mean he can't do that, but he hasn't shown it since I've been watching him.
As a sidebar "Journeyman" through usage has apparently become pejorative. It didn't used to be that way. It meant some one who was well qualified in their craft, and had the ability to "journey" from place to place in order to practice it. | | | |

"But in possession..."
The value of what a team does out of possession should not be overlooked, it is a crucially important part of the game.
Every team needs a clutch of midfielders who excel at tackling, marking and generally screening the defence. |  |

Millwall have been doing a lot right for a good while now.
Despite that they spent most of the 2023-24 season hovering just above the relegation places and only a strong finish bumped them up to 13th and 59 points.
If you remember that was the season Rowett left and they appointed the hot young talent Joe Edwards to take them to the next level. That bombed so badly they had to bring back Neil Harris to steady the ship.
So even clubs that are doing it right and steadily progressing will make the odd mis-step, and the Championship is so unforgiving that one wrong appointment can cause everything to unravel. |
But the timeline's important:
Gallen was appointed DOF in May 24, after Rowett and Edwards had left, while Neil Harris was manager. Bit like Cifuentes, Harris was doing a decent job, had steadied the ship, got them up to 11th, was obviously popular - but there was a personality clash between him and DOF. But instead of whispering campaigns and gardening leave, he left in December.
Gallen then appointed Alex Neil, who got them up to 8th first season. Sold and invested well in the summer window, now they're 3rd. So nothing appears to be unravelling since he joined them.
I don't know Steve Gallen personally. But it remains insane to me that he wasn't appointed at QPR. Here was a guy who'd worked throughout the youth set-up at QPR. Left and was made DOF at Charlton in league below for seven years, did his apprenticeship. Learnt his craft. Made for QPR, his club. And at that moment in 23/24, was between jobs, so free.
But we went with the guy who has a hack. I personally don't think QPR need a "sporting CEO" who answers every question for the fans, whether it be about about pie service, pitch drainage, youth recruitment or game models.
I think we need a proper DOF and a CEO working together, not a ceremonial chairman. But QPR looked at that fork in the road and chose to go down this one - and we've spent a lot of money this year going further down that road. Big couple of months coming up for everyone driving that. | | | |

Can I just add that I used to know Stephen Gallen very well back in the 90's, and he's also a thoughtful, decent and respectful person. Ethos. |  |

Spot on.
It was a Hoos call.Well, certainly one he advised the majority owner on, and it was Hoos who selected the very inexperienced Sporting CEO.
He will need to hold accountable or be held accountable IF things go south, or lauded if we progress similarly to Millwall, |  | | |

I agree with some of what you say but not everything.
Hoos as Chairman is a curious one.
Normally a company chairman does a lot of their work in the boardroom, and to a certain extent a lot of what they do is protecting shareholders interests and making sure their objectives are being properly implemented.
QPR is slightly unusual in that the board and the owners are the same thing (apart from those fans who have held onto very small shareholdings). And I believe Ruben now holds over 75% of the shares and can do almost anything he wants.
So what is the point of Hoos as Chairman?
I assumed he was kept on in that role to act as a mentor to Nourry, keep an eye open to make sure he didn't do anything reckless with the club, and as a last resort step back in if junior didn't prove up to the job
So I think there's more to Hoos than just window dressing - but I could be wrong.
With respect to Millwall I think they have been doing a lot right for a long time, and were moving in the right direction even before Steve Gallen was appointed. Joe Edwards was a mis-step on their part but this isn't a Wawll forum so we don't need to pick the bones out of that, or the friction between Harris and Gallen.
But Gallen has been doing good things for a long time. He came to Millwall from Charlton which isn't an easy sell but he has settled in and Wawll seem to be benefitting from it.
I would love to have seen Gallen as our DoF.
I don't like this combined CEO/DoF role. I would prefer a CEO who looked after the overall running of the club and left someone with a solid background within football to look after that side of things.
It has been said by others on this forum but Nourry came into this dual role with no experience in either capacity. It was a huge gamble.
Whether Nourry is a success or a failure he is going to leave at some point, and he is going to leave two positions open. Are we going to stick with the combined role or bring in two experienced specialists? I know what I would prefer. | | | |

My theory on why we have Bould is the same with Hoos.
Both are insurance policies should the Head Coach or CEO require replacing, even if it’s an interim role.
Unfortunately, they are expensive policies and in the case of Bould, clearly not helping on the pitch based on Saturday’s evidence.
There was no mitigation of a three game week, no travel and plenty of time to prepare. We were playing a team in transition, in the bottom three - at home.
Despite that, we still made the wrong selections and waited too long to make subs, the first three of which should probably have started the game.
Even if we had changed or reorganised at halftime, we would have had a better chance of a result, correcting the clear issues from the first half.
Can’t really say I’m surprised or annoyed, just becoming detached a little more, game by game as we can’t adapt, spot issues or seemingly understand what the opposition are doing and at least counter/negate it.
I know standards are mentioned regularly but IMO, this was more a case of gross incompetency with the added bonus of trying to kill two of our better players to death in the process. |  |

It's interesting how little we've seen and heard of Bould since the summer when his appointment was held up as a great triumph, and we were getting mic'd up training sessions etc. I can't even remember the last time I saw him in a pic or a training video. | | | |

Indeed - I guess if you don’t work Saturdays you can’t change anything in the game, which we probably should have done earlier this weekend.
At one point preseason, Nourry spent the majority of the game that he attended, just talking 121 with Bould on the sidelines. It was notable in duration and the isolation from the other coaching staff. Then as you say, the ‘master class’ - can’t remember if that was that before or after the 7:1 Cov debacle but suspect it was before.
He probably values his views and experience but you can’t have someone like that in the mix, just stalking the head coach but not being available to help adapt in a game.
All the money and flexibility, no responsibility ultimately.
Bould should have been interviewed post Saturday’s game - if he’s really doing the job. The goals were down to us being wide open or leaving a massive gap between two CDs. | |

i dont see that sorry, the owners have been around for years now , they have been hoodwinked many times in every way possible , if u have two cvs on the table one which is prob two pages at most , and one which has got reams of history , experience and has also worked for the club before , you would be thinking lets go with experience. the owners would go with recomendations id say and thats likely to have come from Hoos . working i recruitment if i stuck a cv with little to no relevance to the role im trying to fill id be laughed at by the client , why have u sent me this cv hes got nothing that we are looking for.
but hang on hes got a theory , its the same thory as we have had for years but hes using better longer words , whats the theory to make the club self sustanable , wow why havent we tried that before , well we have been trying but hes got a brillaint way of doing things hes got a laptop and know a bloke in australia.
as part of the package hes got a fitness guy who will bugger off for a year bugger up an amercain basketball team and work for us part time but thats ok as we can hoodwink the fans by saying our injuires are down becuase we can include the under 9s as part of the stats . ive also heard he can help with the pitch as well .

Probably need some perspective here.
Kealy Adamson is probably on about £3k a week, so is a very low risk signing. If it works it could be great, but its probably not the type of expensive we need to lose any sleep over. It's not the same as signing Asmir Begovic on a long contract... |
None of us obviously have a clue about what players are and aren't paid, but this just highlights the madness of the footballing world.
If it were correct, another way to put it is Kealey Adamson is paid £156,000 a year to be a player in our development squad and occasionally turn up for a bench appearance in the first team.
Madness. I hope he is paid absolutely nowhere near that. That is more than executive directors will be paid, without their bonuses mind, in companies that are bigger than QPR FC when we take company size metrics into account. And we all wonder why football clubs are money blackholes? |  | | |
