We've not done enough but we've had no luck either. That ball would have hit the post and gone in nine times out of ten.

Agreed, we hit the post and the crossbar today.
We haven't utilised balls over the top or mixed up our approach play, combined with 3 or 4 or even sometimes 5 touch football you are going to get very few chances compared to your possession percentage. We haven't looked to isolate wingers vs full backs and are flinging wide deep crosses in when we have no real aerial presence.

Trundle nailing it about our lack of urgency. Passing it around the box without any attempt to get the ball into the box. We’ve come a poor second today

Spot on

Dire. Another shocking performance. They appear hell bent on a relegation battle

If you have a problem - play the Swans.

QPR haven't won on an Easter Monday in 31 years!!

We were unlucky not to get a lucky equaliser. Doesn't disguise the inherent crapness of that display. The last few minutes of injury time were ridiculous. We have no real idea of how we might score a goal.

 

[Ringwood]

We won't go down.. too much rubbish below us. However, we have more dead wood than a shipwreck.

But it was lucky to be anywhere near the post. It was just a crap cross.

 

[MrSwerve]

Comfortably in the 'meh' category. On a different day it could have been 1-1, 2-1, 0-2, 2-0...just one of those days.

Two poor teams.

We didn't notice they had a 6' 6" goalkeeper !!

 

[NWJack]

We may be safe but clocking out early after serving up the season they have to us is an absolute piss take.

Yes to all of this. It happens so much of the time, it must be either how they are being told to play, or they are ignoring how they are being told to play. take your choice. Neither is pleasant.

We always lose games where neither side really deserve to win. It happens too often with this group of players. It's a mentality deficiency that runs through the entire side.

I wouldn't keep one player in our squad this summer apart from the keeper. Realistically that isn't going to happen, of course. But none of the outfield players make even approaching a compelling case for why they deserve to be at the club long term. The most stale, uninspiring and fundamentally lacking squad we've had since the Nick Cusack era.

7 points clear of Hudds with 6 games left and better GD. I dont see us going down but this has been a truly awful season.

Yes you can never say never but for a while I've been saying we will stay up as there will be 3 teams worse than us
