Player ratings:

Eastwood: 5 - One good save, but beaten easily for both goals, and should have done more for the first especially. Why does he keep playing no matter how badly he does?

Ruffels: 4 - One good ball in which Winnall wasted but overall again he looks off the pace and lacking in confidence. Why does he keep playing no matter how badly he does?

Long: 4 - At fault for the goal and kept giving the ball away.

Moore: 4 - Lost possession too many times, including dribbling a couple of times where he could have been punished

Clare: 3 - At times in the second half he showed some good play coming forwards including one great cross but overall he was very poor. He can’t defend. He needs to play further forwards or just constantly bomb forwards and not bother defending because he can’t. Why does he keep playing no matter how badly he does?

Gorrin: 8 - Can’t see how much more he could have done, tackled well, should never have been booked.

Sykes: 6 - Worked hard at least. No idea why he came off. Yet another strange decision for Robinson.

Forde: 3 - Unusually poor from him.

Henry: 3 - What did he do? Absolutely nothing. He should be dropped, but I doubt he will be. He should have been subbed, but he wasn’t.

Shodipo: 4 - A game of two halves, a 2/10 first half and a 6/10 second half makes a 4/10 overall. Couldn’t have been worse first half but improved when moved onto the right hand side.

Taylor: 5 - Didn’t have any service. Could easily have scored a couple in the second half with the crosses which were played in.

Subs:

Winnall: 1 - Missed an easy pass, missed headers, then went off injured. Bringing him on was the epitome of dull, uninspired, stupid management. Went off injured which made sure we weren’t getting back into the game.

Obita: 5 - Looked lively but didn’t play any great balls in. Needs to play left back.

McGuane: N/A - not enough time

Karl Robinson: 1 - It’s hard to see how he could reasonably have done worse. No Cooper in the squad - madness. Wrong starting 11 picked. Wrong subs. Awful.
 
Summed it up when clare put in a ball across the box at 0-1 and not an oxford player in sight. Outplayed, outfought by a bog standard league one team. zero creativity, shocking ball control. Some of the players didnt even looked bothered. The worst thing that it is becoming the norm.
 
On that performance I see us going down.
The lack of options for players on the ball is woeful
Tiger won’t do it yet but is Robinsons on borrowed time ?
Looked like Taylor was unhappy at being subbed he brushed past Robinson
You do know he's on a 4 year contract, which yellowsforum were almost universally delighted about, right?
 
"the qpr turd...."

What are you, 12?!

I know that we've got beat again, but the reaction of some of our "fans" is even more embarrassing.
No, the reaction is to an appalling performance. Shodipo was right off the game. The defence were caught out on the left again and again. We conceded two goals, again. Tackling, passing and movement off the ball was poor. That is embarrassing.

Too generous
 
Can’t score, can’t keep a clean sheet then you are in a relegation battle. We looked as bad as against Sunderland in the first home game, just look clueless on what to do when we have the ball. If you are the opposition then we just need patience to play against us, we will give you the ball and let you have an easy goal eventually.

Shouldn’t really panic at this stage of the season but we don’t seem to have a coherent starting 11 out of this squad, we have some decent players but not in positions to put a strong team out. The obsession with wingers has caught up with us by the looks of it.
 
Well that was carnage. ,

Robinson completely outsmarted tactically.Crewe not that good in my view. That’s what made it so shocking.

Henry’s got to be dropped.

Forde in at right back,. Atkinson has to come back, Obita to start at left back,

Criticise if you want but Clare needs to start . But er not at right back. His defensive nouse is
at National League level.

However, he is the fastest player we’ve got and has ability. Needs to start on right wing.

Sykes needs a rocket up his a**e.

Shodipo just so naive.

Only player halfway decent Spanish hatchet.

strewth. Robinson’s running out of excuses.

How is it embarrassing after that s**t show tonight? I wouldn’t call Shodipo a QPR turd as he has played well but he didn’t tonight and he was P**s poor.
 
Something big has gone wrong somewhere. Including the play-off games, we have been plain bad since the re-start.
The only time we look like we know what we are doing is when we pass backwards.
Horribly exposed by a well organised, efficient team tonight.
Totally agree with you. Something needs to be sorted out, yes we still have a game or Two in hand, but the team is way off the mark. Struggled against a mid table team tonight. KR needs to turn this around or he needs to walk. Sorry to say this. The team has to improve otherwise we will be in league 2 next season and that’s a fact. One good thing, Swindon are struggling too. 🙂
