Somebody could do with gripping Cantwell and telling him this is the last chance saloon. I expect him to come on and take ownership of the ball in these games. Awful game.

He's off it but im not being funny, he's never going to change a game like that.

[Cherry Blue]

Players were tame. Is it travel that causes fatigue. Dolan may have scored but in first half he he was wandering. 

Poor performance all round. 

[Torgeir]

Squeezed almost 90 minutes out of Hedges in that one. Ffs

Cantwell is Buckley mark 2. And that's being kind.

[onlyonejackwalker]

I think for one of the first times this season Eustace got it badly wrong. We weren't threatened in the 2nd half until he made his substitutions. Cantwell and ACD contributed absolutely nothing.

It can't be travel, we've got the most luxurious coach in the land 

[roversfan99]

Got what we deserved, nothing.

Hedges, Dolan, Buckley, we know they arent good enough.

Pears in recent weeks has reverted back to an absolute liability and our defence in general has stopped being solid and now can have rings run around it by average players.

It very much feels like a season destined to fizzle out. Another loss nudges us right back into a big pack of teams.

[speeeeeeedie]

That was disappointing. QPR are poor. A long ball team with no pace. 

Nobody played well but the usual suspects of Dolan, Hedges, and Pears were very poor today. Gueye couldn't trap a bag of sand either. 

I thought Beck was way off it. 

The pitch was awful, but no excuse for the loss.

Kargbo showing exactly what we've been missing with that knock and run in the 93rd minute.

How the fuck are we in the play offs with Dolan and Hedges? 

Dolan had a shot brilliantly saved, put the penalty away and we never got near their goal after he went off. Hedges on the other hand, as well as half the others might as well have not bothered.

Why you would come out with that comment after watching that match, I've no idea.

I haven't seen him turn up for weeks!

[DackDackGoose]

We were awful except, qpr looked ok, ref awful again. Surely he saw that handball. Should of signed a cm.

Eustace had the chance to adjust but he didn’t show up tonight either. 

[joey_big_nose]

Well we definitely deserved to lose that one. Not that many games this season where you can say that decisively but we were definitely the worse team today...

Kargbo looked pacy in his few minutes which is good. Hard to really pick out any Rovers player who had a good game, I feel like we were beaten tactically, QPR owned the middle of the park and we couldn't get our way of playing together. Buckley and Travis owned the midfield against Preston but they had no grip at all today. 

[RevidgeBlue]

Really poor performance. Looked more like a relegation outfit than a play off side.

Cant be stressed often enough but the transfer business was done far too late. Realistically we played ourselves out of contention in late December and January when out lack of depth and quality found us out.

[neophox]

A very bad result tonight.... very demoralising against an mediocre team. Very disappointed with the effort.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

And the fade away continues, miles away from where we could be. Second best all night, I reiterate I hate our owners.

[roversinmyblood]

Dolan, Hedges, Gueye, Buckley, Cantwell and Weiman all extremely poor tonight. No quality on display tonight including the manager who, I thought, got his substitutions all wrong.

[Michael123458]

Not our night tonight. Kargbo injection of pace going forward on that wing what we need. Safe travels home everyone. Wolves in cup play the new signings for at least 45 RTID

not a good enough to get at least a point but twice poor marking let us down. Mark your man. 

onto the Wolves game and start Dennis, Karbgo and Ribeiro in that game   

We are STILL in this playoff picture and with the additions of Dennis, Woodrow and Karbgo will hopeful help us get that playoff pace

We can see Karbgo has pace and we need to used it

We’ll be out of the play off places pretty quickly. That’s another example of why the transfer business needed to be done earlier. It’s another 3 points thrown away as even after the window has closed we’ve not been able to field 2 new signings.

I really don't think we're in the playoff picture, our form since New Year has been horrendous, we will be outside the playoffs when we next play in the league and if/when Albion beat us that will open a gap and that will be it...

[neophox]

You can see how massively we miss Tronstad as a machine in the middle of the park.

[LDRover]

As far as shit sub appearances go, that from Cantwell has to be right up there. 

[DanielMB]

Maybe if we had done our business before the last day we could have made some attacking subs today.

Totally agree. Sheer incompetence by the senior management who are responsible for securing new recruits. 

[Danny O.Brien]

I don't want to see Buckley or hedges star again this season. At best they are fringe players who add absolutely nothing.
