I watched on in bewilderment (as did we all) on Saturday as we routinely failed to control the ball again and again. I have complete faith in this manager but we are watching some utterly bizarre performances out there. Some players look like they are in complete shock at the intensity of the league while others look like they are devoid of focus, playing experience and aggression. For me, Chair controlled the ball more efficiently and productively in 25 minutes than some players have done across 5-6 entire games. Chair is a must start against Portsmouth. Thanks for the excellent content as always.
Frankly yet again, we were slow, clueless, lacking any intelligence, loads of pointless running back and forwards like 13 year old school teams. Powderpuff tackling, loads of back turning, falling over and simply failing the most basis of basics! Now, either the PLAYERS are not good enough or the MANAGER is not good enough. For me, it's MC, with a lack of appreciation of the players we have, no plan B or C, lack of any tactical nous and worse than everything, he seems unable to change anything. Sorry but he needs to go asap, or we will be relegated by Xmas.
It is amazing given some of the height in the team why we can't be more physical? Dunne is 6 foot 4, Madsen is 6 foot 4 (but projects 4 foot 6), Clark Salter when he comes back is 6 foot 2, Sam Field is 6 foot 2, Fox is 6 foot 1, Varane is 6 foot 3, Mich Frey is 6 foot 3 and Celar is apparently 6 foot 2 and not 6 foot 1. Even Anderson is 6 foot 1. There really should be the base to build a strong physical side but it's just not there this season. The problem is that for some reason Field just isn't imposing himself, Madsen looks like a motorboat in a lake of speedboats, Anderson looks like he needs a sit down quite often and we haven't seen enough of Varane to know yet but he needed to learn this season off someone like Colback or Hayden. It really is baffling. Colback, although a one man red card really does add steel to the midfield but as we have said before how much of a false economy has it be to not bring Hayden back for a few seasons? A man to bring through a player like Varane and even muscle up Madsen. It's kind of like we've declared that QPR has to be tippy tappy west London Barcelona this season when the robust, tough, deep sitting, big defending and fast breaking QPR of the second half of last season is what started to make us look unplayable. That has been consigned to the bin? It's all very odd and I hope Marti takes a few days sitting atop a mountain top and thinks... we just need to be hard bastards to play against and physically use the height in the team to far more effect, allowing the likes of Dembele, Saito and others to use pace on the break. But we are mere fans so what do we know?
madsen and andersen have done sod all this season and we miss hayden badly. we look bad in defense and the forward line are massivly underperforming.......
I agree your analysis. As the great grandson of the team who became QPR - Christchurch - I cannot believe the lack of confidence, flair, nouse and creativity that this team is showing. I do wonder what strategies are being worked on on the lavish training ground - his to defend - his to finish - lack of midfield ability. I do hope the lessons of “back to basics” we saw last season and nurtured at Hammerby are seen very quickly. Thanks Hoopsa!
Ive been going to loftus road since 86 when i was a kid but what I'm watching right now is really bad.I don't like to criticise my team,But this is painful to watch😢.
I cant believe we've looked so poor since the Luton win, it feels like a slog to go to Loftus Road at the moment, first time ive bought a season ticket is this season too, first time since a kid, we've looked woeful in a league where there isn't many weak teams this season.
It's really frustrating, it's like they're doing their best job to tear up the good will built up at the end of last season as quickly as possible. Loftus Road is silent on match days, in part due to most of our home games being 12:30 kick offs, but mostly because the football has been rubbish!
Summed up perfectly again,I’m not going to comment as it all feels like Groundhog Day,no wonder so many youngsters no longer want to come to HQ,same shit,different season.
We look absolutely hopeless at the moment. if we keep playing like this name me one side in the league that we beat?...because I can't think of one. If we can't get 3 points at home against a very poor Portsmouth side then god help us
im not suprised we are struggling when we are so light in the strker department....should have at least 4 1st team strikers, we have 2 and 1 of them in celar is utterly useless, i can still remember poulter/smith/mackie/washington 4 strikers and we still struggled that season or when we had austin/dykes/gray/bonne.....we have no striker options...we didnt replace dykes, completely agree aswell the midfield is weak...id even include sam field in that...he is overated massively he usually trips over his own feet and usually passes backwards sidwards,,,as for anderson and madson...both stealing a wage utter tripe....what pisses me off the most season after season its the same shite...whilst fulham and brentford would utterly ruin us if we played them....when will lessons ever be learned
Really enjoy your match synopsises. Went to both Hull and Derby games and at least there were flashes of a good team at the Hull game. Derby was so disappointing. Madsen is like a Danish Dozzell unfortunately. Keeping everything crossed that Marti changes things up during this break
I still think we've been lucky this season so far with the draws, Nardi has saved us a good few losses with some good saves in succession. One positive I took from Derby was with two forwards on Frey looked a little more comfortable, relying on him to chase and win long balls alone has been rather painful to watch, especially when he isn't far enough up to shoot which often ends up with us passing the ball back. Maybe I'm seeing it all wrong, correct me if I am please I'd like to feel optimistic!
I agree on the Frey point, I think we’ll get better out of both forwards with the pair on the pitch. Whether Martí will ever start them together is a seperate question though!
Lack of pace in midfield, Anderson and madsen running around in quick sand creating nothing and couldn't put a tackle in if there lives depended on it!! Paal gave up at the start of the season, can't get dembela into the game to effect it!! Good job we have a great keeper by far the player of the season so far!! I think we'd be lucky if we've had played 3 half's of OK football this season!!
Hi Hoopsa. Great review. Where do we start. We'll, if any qpr fan thinks the team is going to get better after the international break, (it didn't in the last) Sorry , its not going to happen. Qpr have 4 home games out of 5, up next. If we don't get some wins, we will be at this stage cast adrift, worrying times.
Went to Derby game, so dissapointing. Hate being so negative but we look awful, Madsen is so weak, Anderson isnt anywhere near consistant enough. I thought Ashby would be a good replacement for Santos but he was just as bad giving the ball away numerous times. Apart from Dunne, Saito and Frey the rest of the side look uninterested and heads drop so quickly. Even Cook looks like he doesnt want to be here, its a bad situation that we deperetely miss Colback as much as we do!
Would be ideal, if your erudite criticism was answered by Cifuentes. Your analysis,as always is one of exactitude . Paal lost the ball so easily, it was embarrassing to watch. What do we do in this phase of a team not fit for purpose ?. NEW STRATEGY ? NEW PLAYERS? NEW MANAGER? As it stands it's Div 1 Here We Come.....no joking...
It makes the decision for Cifuentes not to be at the Fan's Forum this time last week (the first time that's happened in 10+ years) even more questionable.
@@HoopsaRUclips Yes, I totally agree. It presently appears that Cifuentes is treading a fine line as a diplomat. Wouldn't surprise me if Chair will be sold shortly and the whole team could be dismantled in accordance with financial Board restraints .The longer this negativity ensues the likelier the suspicion. I think that's partly why Warburton left. MC may be left picking up the pieces in Div 1. I hope I'm wrong....in that we kickstart with a better performance in the next game.🤞🤞🤞
Great points as always Hoopy. Here's Mr Darren Harris take: Santos is not a right back. Dunne is a right back. Paal cannot play left back. Fox should replace Paal. Andersen is a sub at best. Madsen needs time. Field has not been with it recently. Celar needs time. The Formation of 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 is not working & MC is not the first manager to persist with it. The others lost their job ! Is it the right time to play 3 at the back - 2 wing back's - 3 in the middle & 2 up top.
It sent me into a depressive spiral... I'm not joking... looked in the mirror and was like... life sucks, hate job, hate the rent and QPR can't even beat Derby who let's face it were also super turd.
Good video. I have stayed away from QPR - too depressing. My observations from afar though are, you cannot bring in 9-10 new faces & hope they gel. Secondly, most if not all have no Championship experience, most coming from weaker leagues ; as does Marti etc.. The players` & staff have never been to these grounds. Lastly, I felt from the summer that QPR do not intend on challenging, so just survive - they only just do enough! - sad, boring.

The weird thing though is even if we’ve decided we want to play tippy tappy - we’re not even good at that really!
Who else gets rewarded for doing a crap job? Ainsworth must be wondering why he didn't get a contract extension!

We can fix the season by convincing the First Team that it is really April and we need points to stay up. That works every year!

Should have lost the Luton game they peppered us. Now I see where they are sitting in the table, all is clear.
This team is far too slow to compete in this division. As always, the Jan transfer window will rescue our season.
Yeah I think you’re right mate.
Danish pastries in the middle - got to find some steel from somewhere

Says it all right...

Horrible to be in this position already. Can't see where the points are coming right now unless we just suddenly snap out of it.
we couldnt beat 9 man plymouth so not much hope, and pompey look crap...bet we make them look world class

So true on the number of strikers. It’s criminal we haven’t sorted out the lack of goals really.
