Report | Queens Park Rangers v Stoke City Your Report added at 11:17:29
Good win in a tricky game. The quality we now have up front makes all the difference even if Nardi looks shaky, Jimmy struggles (I thought he got little help yesterday) and Madsen is Madsen (definitely adding some defensive awareness to his game, but there are moments when Sam or Hayden look the safer bet).
I thought the ref gave in too often to Stoke's rolling around and whingeing.
Koni isn't the quickest and his first touch could be better, but apart from his obvious goal scoring exploits and ability to give the ball a real whack he shows excellent awareness of where his fellow strikers are and gets the ball to them. He also plays a full part when forced to defend
MotM Harvey Vale. |

Mustn't get carried away but some extremely promising signs in our attacking pace, movement and finishing. Burrell outstanding but all the front men did well. Kone took his goal brilliantly, but his lack of mobility was evident sometimes. Vale excellent at linking reverythng together. |

What a difference long balls and a proper CF can make. Rs were much more physical and assertive from the start but then conceded a lot of possession, and in truth were a little lucky in the end. The Charlton goal had been coming. Our subs, esp Koki, made the difference. Far from convinced by Walsh and although Kone did well some of the online comments have been over the top. Madsen is improving and did well to hang on in there in a game he wasn't suited to. My MotM is Varane, but it was a good all round performance. More please! |

We were bad, but were we that bad? 4-1 or 5-1 bad perhaps. A tonking rather than a slaughter?
But that doesn't help at all unless we discover some energy and aggression. Far too timid, rarely won a 50:50 ball or made a tackle. I thought Burrell deserves some credit for trying and Kolli showed some positive signs.
I don't think Walsh could have done much more for most of the goals but think Nardi should get a grip next week |

Report | Queens Park Rangers v Swansea City Your Report added at 20:45:33
After the excitement of two away wins and Lucas' stunning goal at Preston today was crashing to earth. Swansea were much the better team for the first 70 minutes. They dominated possession, pressed energetically and gave Rs few opportunities to get forward. They deserved the 2-0 lead. In the last 20 minutes when our subs were on we looked better, created the goal and had more possession. But Swansea were hungrier, played with more intensity and ran more.
We missed some muscle from Field or Varane to support Colback. He's looked good recently but 2 games in 4 days maybe a lot for ageing legs. Fox was
poor at the back but perhaps had something of an excuse only starting because Varane had a problem in the warm up.
We've had some erratic refs this season but Simpson was one of the worst I've seen. Inconsistencies all the time and in his eyes Rs committed 19 fouls which must be more than we usually concede without doing anything different, indeed without Field or Varane on the pitch. He did at least give us 8 minutes of extra time.
Jimmy Dunne may have been at fault for the second goal, he seemed to leave an awful lot of space behind him in the penalty area for Swansea to exploit but otherwise was probably our best player.

Report | Queens Park Rangers v Bristol City Your Report added at 19:06:52
Very promising signs in the first quarter of how Rangers could play with nippy, mobile forwards ably supported by Madsen who had his best game for us, even showing physical strength at times. Once Bristol City got a grip of midfield it was hard for us but the defence was strong and with better finishing we could have sneaked a win. Considering it injury list and that the Robins are a good team we can be pleased with the performance.
Hard to pick a MotM as it was an all round team display, but think might give it to Madsen, at least partly because he showed great character after numerous abysmal performances and clearly Marti hasn't felt able to trust him into forced by injuries. |

Solid performance, but against a poor team so difficult to judge how good we were. But defence and midfield did pretty much all we could ask for and although the attack was a weak point we scored 3 goals.
I'm particularly impressed with Morrison and don't understand why we've not seen more of him. And as others have said we saw some signs that maybe Madsen could become an ok player for us.
I'd give Colback MotM. Used his experience and footballing brain to help us mostly control the midfield. |
