So glad their result has helped us out of this pit of misery.
Saturday is massive now, we can’t keep writing off games as only so many we have a chance of winning in this league. Buckingham has to figure out a way to make us more of a force going forward, at the moment we have no threat.
We are not down yet, not even in the relegation zone so no one should be giving up on it, but we can’t keep doing the same stuff that has been completely figured out, need to freshen it up.

It’s certainly a result/performance to sleep on but right now things aren’t looking good and is Des the man for a relegation fight?
Des is a lovely man but where the hell did he see "good moments " as per his RO interview?
Des - Saturday 4 4 2 .

Where did we sign Placheta from? Was it Cheshunt, or Dorking?
I know many want Des to say what we're all thinking, but I'm happy he doesn't resort to publicly throwing players under the bus like KR did

I think that before tonight Kioso has been one of our best players this season.
He has looked Championship level- if you ignore today- his worst performance some distance

He’s been a woeful addition. We’re told he’s quick, although I haven’t really seen this raw pace. And the simple fact is he’s just not a very good footballer.
Did they step up or....did we step down?
A note on some of the fans today too.
Cheering when Placheta was subbed and singing the ‘we’ve got the ball chant’.
Support the team or don’t come to games.

4 4 2? Really?

I put mine to bed at half time and apologised to him that it was so boring. Would have taken an equally boring second half in hindsight.

That was pretty grim. QPR are a poor team at this level. But second half, they just walked through us. Afraid I just can't see how we'll stay up. Just lack the quality. Giving away cheap possession, lack of pace, out muscled on nearly every 50/50. I worry about the Leeds match. A heavy defeat (6-0 +) and confidence will be really shot. I can just about stomach Sheffield United pulling us to pieces, as they'll probably be in the PL next season. But QPR were so poor. I'd like to think of something positive to say about the way we played tonight, but I just can't.

Well it's clear as day our current formation isn't working.

He isn't going to is he-he isn't a Rooney who calls his players out but not making a comment on how he feels says it all.
Blissfully home already as I live in central London.
The only silver lining out of a horrible evening. Away pubs s**t. Ground not even that fun because we’ve done it recently. And a performance that I’m still trying to decide whether or not merits the worst I’ve seen in my recent memory. Runs Gas at home under KR in 2023 close.

He’s smart enough to know that if he does that once, we won’t win again. He has to help the players find belief.

And here was I thinking today was meant to be one of our target games ffs.
It's absolutely time for DB to throw some f*cks about and get the players on his side because it looks to me that some are having a easy peasy ride out there.
I think this could be the Bolton moment.

Agree…
I’m proper pissed off, but this sort of behaviour toward players is totally unacceptable, regardless of how we feel.
I know some people will look at the result and say it was rubbish and everything. It is and there’s no getting away from that.
However, for large portions of that game, we were in control. The whole first half was Oxford playing it around QPR. Phillips got in good positions, Goodrham did too, Brannagan had time to turn and play the right pass and the defence had nothing to worry about. That wasn’t the crap bit.
The crap bit was in creating anything meaningful to worry QPR. A couple of errors and that was it. Game was done.
He was poor to start with, then great for a few games and then he’s been in and out since he started playing for DRC.
Not as consistent for me as the five I mentioned, and on balance, he’s a borderline Championship player…..
……I’d actually like to see more of Ter Avest. He had half an hour against Hull where he was absolutely quality in both directions and basically won us that game.

The only positive is I decided not to go tonight - one of the nearest clubs. Small consolation and would have loved to have been proved wrong.
When he said we were in control of the game until the 57th minute
I haven’t listened to Radio Oxford as I watched on Sky but were Will Goodwin and Sam Long just not selected for the 18 or injured tonight.
His rating above is too high tonight, he was utter dross too.
