What's fundamentally wrong with QPR
at 16:08 1 Mar 2013

I've been trying to work out what is wrong with QPR
How can we be one of the few teams that need players right in front of the central defence or we get ripped apart (Liverpool at home)
How can we go through 3 transfer windows spending huge amount and buy loads of players only to get to the 4th window and Harry declares he needs 3 or 4 players (And Norwich don't have anything like this problem)
How can players like Routledge and Puncheon look amazing in their teams but look awful in ours, similarly how can we turn someone who played for Real Madrid into someone who looks Championship material at the moment
It just can't be about the Players (even if we do still lack strikers)

I think some obvious things are starting to show, the half time Sky analysis of Norwich at home, overwhelmingly saying where are the QPR players, the ball comes into the box and it's 1 against 4.
Then again the Match of the Day Man Utd analysis showing Adel time and time again giving the ball and not moving forward, not driving into space.
No penetration, no runners into the box, Faurlin and Granero aren't particularly those players, Adel wants to stay outside and curl it into the top corner, we buy Jenas, possibly can arrive late but now too old to have the pace to do it effectively.
We see Lampard do it, Brunt and Morrison can do it, even Gomez showed a masterclass of it in one match, a hat trick for Wigan against Reading.
Over the last 3 games Townsend seems to be the only spark we have, against Man Utd he had 1 player in the box to aim for, how about Zamora, Remy, one runner from central Midfielder and the also the opposing Winger coming in at the far post, someone might pick up the second ball even!
Ah yes, but our fragile team will be counter attacked you say. Haven't we got the discipline to cope with that, the wing backs pushing up, the other central holding midfielder, the colussus that is Samba and perhaps even when we run into the box it will drag their team back into their own box negating the threat of the counter.
Just a thought on why it is going so horribly wrong or shall we just continue to be bottom of the 20 teams on the FFStat page at 2 shots on goal per game, get the odd 0-0 against a top side and slide into the Championship.
