Looking like another game where we'll get hit by a sucker punch and lose 1-0. It's truly incredible how abysmal the current side without BBD is at scoring goals. We've probably never had a collection of players on the field who are this incapable of putting the ball in the net. It's impressive in some respects but intensely frustrating to watch. 

495 minutes without a goal. 495 minutes! And it'd actually be over 500 if you take injury time and such into account.

What's sad is that we're actually doing well at most other aspects of the game (other than set pieces, which have been pathetic as usual). We look good in many respects, but if you can't score it really doesn't mean anything. Dolan has brought some real energy to our front line and shown just how little Buckley was contributing in terms of effort lately (playing poorly out of position I can accept, lack of effort not so much). 

Something needs to go in off an arse or an elbow.

Near perfect half from Rovers.

Ive thought Johnson was finished for a while but he's been brilliant. Dolan superb. Khadra great except his finishing. It's been a really strong performance just without any goals....

Quality ball, just to far for Gally to touch it in, real quality from Khadra. 

But if Gallagher had any proper striker instincts he would have anticipated that

Looking past our inability to finish off our attacks I think we have been the dominating team this half. Keep it up and sooner rather than later we will score. Just worried QPR score a freak goal and Rovers confidence plummets. Still….I believe we will come away from this one with ay least 1 point. COYB!

Leave off?? He is very poor. Can only say what my eyes see. 

People are deluded on him. Ball watching big head who contributes feck all

We really, really needed to sign a striker in January. And it's been a problem ever since Tony said it wasn't.

Just shows you can't expect players to "step up" when they're not natural goalscorers

Khadra's was inexcusable though; Johnson's just laughable

Decent half. Very little to show for it due to the totally predictable lack of goalscoring instinct throughout this team. I don't blame the players, they are what they are. It was the January transfer window total failure that cost us. Cheers Tony and Venkys.

His corner and followup were pretty pathetic. He is scaring them with his pace though...well, he was...they probably feel quite relaxed about him getting in behind them now.

Ball watching?

Only a few minutes ago he was alive to the danger when someone else messed up to close down and block a shot on the edge of our area.

Not sure where big head has come from either?

Struggling to see it. We are the receive-sucker-punch specialists, and QPR are the late-sucker-punch specialists.

Why? That type of ball is never played in by us - he'd have to be psychic to anticipate that.

Dolan has been very good but I want to see him in the box scoring goals

Lots of chances both ends but this could end 0-0 unless QPR nick one late on

He did anticipate it, but he’s not 7ft 6” or he’d have scored.

All top strikers have that anticipation.  Gallagher obviously isn't one
