I think Joe Bryan is a good player but I wish he’d prioritise his defensive duties ahead of his attacking. When he gets caught way upfield we are so open down the left when countered.

Bryan needs dropping, too many mistakes at this level, his crosses and passing are shocking, too nonchalant and once again from being in a good position he loses the ball and we get punished QPR were not in the game until then.
 
H-T 1-1.

QPR offering nothing apart from Saito who is proving a handful.

Frey a lump but took his goal well. Undone by a breakaway when Cooper and Tanga were up against Frey and Dembele and lost. And before Bryan’s fan club blame him for being out of position, he had just reached their byline and laid the ball back. When he goes forward the team must cover him better.

Some excellent passing lead to several excursions into their box but poor final passes and lack of composure meant we’ve only Watmore’s goal to show.

Langstaff movement excellent and they look vulnerable down the channels. Very right-footed ala Gregory and Bradshaw that will limit his chances in the Championship.

Esse looks like he could waltz through them, like to see him try his luck towards the centre.

Much the better team and our pressing has caused them problems but when the legs start to go in the 2nd half it might end up a backs to the wall exercise.

Very much a rerun of last season’s game here and I fear the outcome could be the same 😞

On a positive note: more of the same in the 2nd half and we should win it but I’m bracing myself for a tense 45 minutes!

Don’t blame Bryan, he reached the byline and nearly created another goal scoring opportunity. He should have been better covered and Cooper and Tanga should have done better!
