Ratings & Reactions: QPR v Villa

[Nigel]

Just popped over to a QPR fans forum (here) 

Funny thing a few say is that they got beat by an 80 odd million side, funny how we are viewed.

That side cost no more than 15 million by my simple calculations.

Very pleased, far far more positive approach from Bruce, once we got going. There was energy and purpose there today, and a decent bit of ability.

Can't watch it in Leeds!

We scored, and kept looking to score, which romantically nourished me.

As it stands I’d give everyone, including Bruce 10/10. Thought that was a great all round performance.

That performance from Davis was unreal. Forget the rest (apart from Chester and Hourihane who were brilliant). 

Seriously enjoyable match. Fantastic. Davis - Brilliant. 

Adomah?

He makes the team better. I don't want to sound like I'm bashing kodjia, but the way Bruce sets us up Davis is a much better option for the team. There is a huge gap between midfield and attack and Davis hold up play bridges that much better than kodjia. 

I don't want to big the kid up too much because he is still very raw and don't think he will ever be a prolific goalscorer, but under Bruce i think he is absolutely perfect. 

[Rodders]

really pleasantly surprised to see we won having gone a goal behind, that's the kind of result we've been needing to show we can do to consolidate in the top quarter. With no kodja or terry that's a good old result. Now, we need to consolidate this good win by beating Sunderland Tuesday

[Supervillan78]

Great result. Could have won by more. Adomah MOM IMO.

Long may that positive approach continue.

Haha. I didn't even know we had scored in the first half courtesy of being off the forum for a while and Radio WM's incompetence. 

I thought Albert's second half goal was an equiliser so was baffled but delighted it gave us the lead. 

Second match in a row where we have scored a goal I was not aware of. Bizarre.

As well as that, there are times when he makes something out of nothing,  which is great to see.

Great energy.

We hustled them non stop after they went ahead.

Totally deserved victory, probably the best showing yet.

Well done lads!

Will you congratulate the manager @Grasshopper?

Despite all the bollox you write in your replies to my posts

eat this

A GK mistake to go behind - I hope that doesn‘t effect SJ‘s confidence as he has done a great job at proving his worth.

Great stuff that we came from behind to win especially away from home against a team with a good home record.

I‘ve said ALL ALONG we have the players to play front foot attacking football.

Today we had 60+ mins of attacking intent which is what I‘ve wanted all along.

The players can do it, the manager has to get this negative lark out of his instructions/set up.

I‘ll only be convinced that he has changed his spots if this approach continues.

We have nothing and no-one to fear in this league - even with so many injuries.

No excuses

I want wins over a sustained period of time and want to see us 2nd in the table.

Till then Bruce is ONLY buying time.

Whatever it was today, was great. But 1x 3pts is not the answer to all my doubts and lack of confidence in Bruce.

Get us 2nd, keep us there, and get us promoted.

Thats what we need

PS. I bet after our next dropped points you will NOT show the honesty that I have shown now.

3pts = well done AV the players and yes Bruce too.

But!

no more false dawns. I want 2nd. no playoff lottery. Today proved at can be made possible.

@ Bruce - Grow some and stop F***** around with the clubs future - Get us up

It looked to me like he set them up more or less the same way he did against Fulham.  QPR as the away team had to try to break us down and couldn't. We pressed in numbers and we counter attacked in numbers with the catalyst being superb hold up play by Davis. 

This is how Bruce has always wanted them to play they just executed it well today as they have done in other away games against weaker teams.When this approach isn't exectuted correctly (I.e.ball is not held up or counter attack resorts to giving the ball away time after time ) it looks terrible and negative.

Bruce hasn't changed anything about his style In my opinion. The players just played well. 

This whole negative management from Bruce holding us back is a myth in my opinion. The problem with the management is we can't break teams down when they are set up to defend or we struggle against teams that hold the ball well. As we saw against Sheff Wed. This will continue against certain teams because the movement still isn't there when the emphasis is on us to attack.

Well Bruce himself has stated directly that he set us up “ not to lose rather than to Win “ last season, and it was only 6 weeks ago or so he said “ we are now ready to go after teams” ( words to that effect) and that statement coincides almost dir3ctly with our change in style, performances, and results,

So I disagree it’s a myth.

Another away win. Yawn.
