I think that you deserved the win last night, but those last twenty minutes should steel you for life under Parker. Anyone who has watched QPR over this calendar year will know sitting back is not a good plan. The way we play we will be open constantly at the back and when you were on the front foot, you had a good chance of scoring. But, taking off strikers for defensive midfielders like Goblin Boy Pearson, bringing on lifelong R Charlie Mepham and just sitting in was a little embarrassing for a team at home expecting to challenge.
But, hey ho, you were generally stronger than us across the pitch, had a little more quality and a hell of a lot more of the dark arts - you know what I mean - timewasting shithousery like most teams in the Championship when they go ahead.
I read some of the comments in your match thread tonight and am amazed what I read about everyone's favourite dwarf who looks up even to Illias Chair, Lord Farqaad himself Keef Stroud.
You appear to think that he was bias against you - REALLY? OK, Willock could / should have walked for his kick out, but he was provoked into that by constant, regular fouling whenever he got near the ball including in the prelude to the kick. Keef was, as he always is, **************** to everyone. I mean if we hadn't scored, he'd already made it clear that he wasn't going to give a pen for the great goalkeeping your defender showed defending the cross.
The following extract from Loft for Words, the best written club website around, had it spot on:
"Let’s rattle through some of the others in vaguely chronological order… David Brooks deliberately, tactically, pulls back Chris Willock on 25 minutes as he accelerates away into dangerous space down the left – no yellow card. McCallum is fouled down the left on the stroke of half time, but it’s ok because the ball has run through to Willock and the attack is continuing – except it’s not, we’re coming back for the free kick, and players who would have been chasing to get involved in the move are now fighting, resulting in yellows for Brooks and Johansen entirely of the referee’s making. Andre Gray brings the ball down on his chest on the edge of the box, but isn’t then allowed to reach it because Kelly has got hold of his shirt with two hands – no free kick, assistant referee not doing a lot of assisting there looking straight across at it. Chris Willock is fouled, but then in going to retrieve the ball kicks out at Smith for a pretty obvious red card – yellow. The handball in the build up to the McCallum goal is a laughably terrible decision. Adam Smith, a succession of tactical fouls, injury feigning, time wasting and aggro, including the Willock incident, all the way through the final 20 minutes, but enjoying the sort of immunity we usually reserve in this country for the dipshit wives of American diplomats. Then he eventually got booked in stoppage time for some nonsense or other with Yoann Barbet, which was the absolute least of his many offences. Mark Travers blatantly clock running for all of the final half an hour, repeatedly warned with a typically big, dramatic, flouncy wave of the hands and point at the watch, but no card, and therefore no change."
There's more of that at https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/footb...eback-falls-just-short-at-bournemouth--report if you are interested and I thoroughly recommend it.
Anyway, I saw enough last night to believe that we may be back here in May, so 'til then, good luck.
