[TheKitGuy]

Perfect game for Dolan at some point.. their defence won't be able to handle him

[chaddyrovers]

Playing so good stuff today when tempo is high

What happened to Kaminski's good distribution?

Bankruptcy?

Buckley has offered so much more and Been far better than Evans

QPR don't convince the commentators defensively at all apparently. But that was only the second time we have actually troubled the keeper I believe, and it was straight at him.

Third time - he's made two really good saves.

He's a much better fit in the Holtby role - he should be his understudy. 

[Miker]

This is as good a performance as we've had this season IMO, but no goals to show for it.

We are so much better with the spine of our team back in Kaminski, Johnson, Rothwell and Armstrong. 

Can't fault any players' performance so far (other than Evans for the 2 minutes he was on). Arma a bit greedy, but given his scoring record you can forgive him.

+ some crap finishing from Armstrong

[yellowsubmarine]

Good half from us, just needed a goal. Rothwell, Elliot, JRC, Wharton, Nyambe all very good this half. Armstrong a little greedy, could have passed the ball to BB on a couple of occasions but choose to shoot.

Their keeper and defenders made a few good blocks too.

Maybe because he has 9 in 10 and Brero has 1 in 10 ?

If no one passed to him he wouldn't be!

Buckley should have started anyway. Rothwell turns defence into attack far quicker than any other player we have. Should be in front.

Has Armstrong been coach to ignore every other teammate when he gets the ball? Attacks break down as soon as they get to him. I'm all for strikers being greedy, but not when there's not even much of a chance on...

[WacoRover]

Some excellent scoring opportunities that half, need to finish in the 2nd half, because I believe we will get more

Wharton seems like a talker in the back line as well. He captained for periods in his loan clubs, did he not?

[RoverDom]

If you couldn't imagine Evans getting injured you're completely devoid of any creative talent. The only way to couldnt make it up is if you were a vegetable.

[Paul Mellelieu]

Grew into a good half, against a limited looking QPR team.  More and we will.

[simongarnerisgod]

good performance so far,just hope the goal comes,only tony`s half time team talk to negotiate and i`me sure we`ll bag one in the 2nd half

[Ossydave]

Almost a flip reversal of Tuesday so far. Boro were scratching their heads as to how they didn't score then, now its our turn.

This is much much better though and hopefully we find the breakthrough.

Wharton needs to calm down a bit before trying to pick a pass he's been a bit erratic thus far.

Only remembering one, from the Wharton header. When was the other?

[Exiled_Rover]

I maintain, whoever's running the tannoy music at half time is having a ball.

Bit of Joy Division today. Lovely stuff.

He has hardly touched the ball to demonstrate ??

[dingles staying down 4ever]

Worry is that dominance hasn't resulted in goals. We've seen it so many times they'll have one shot and it goes in. We need to be more clinical.

Two long punts up to QPR defenders with none of our players anywhere near. On the first one, Elliott was on for a nice easy throw and break.

Maybe if he controlled the ball better he wouldn’t have had to stretch trying to recover his position!

[philipl]

We have the beating of QPR but when we are in advanced positions the movement by players off the ball stops instead of speeding up the way you see Prem League teams play. We don't hurt teams by pushing on when in possession well inside the final third which means we are playing in front of defenders instead of behind them. At the very least there is a sending off to be had if we gamble a bit more.

Has the feeling of Dieng having a man of the match performance. 

We are not being clinical again.
