Lord Snooty Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 First time I haven't been to Loftus Road in a long, long time. Full player ratings and performance descriptions please, chaps. Give me a full flavour of the match, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyonedavidhirst Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Just checked into hotel after watching today. Thought first half we dominated and only danger came down Palmers side. Palmer looked off the pace. Hooper and Reach were best 2 in first half for my money. 2nd half QPR came out strong and we never got a stranglehold. Then when Semedo came on our centre midfield conceded territory and we were left with occasional counter attacks. I voted for Pudil as he was steady throughout, he scored and he did well considering his recent time out then 3 games in a short space of time. Reach was less effective 2nd half, as was Hooper.

Highbury Owl Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Scrappy second half and sat back too much. Not good for the nerves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Westwood 7 even when in the lead Westwood is always looking to get it to the forwards straight away. Great distribution. We certainly aren't a time wasting team. Pudil 8 Great to have the old Pudil back. Full of energy and wants to score goals. Positive performance Palmer 7 Good defensive job. Good passing. Good movement even though he doesn't dribble as well as Hunt he is a good deputy. Lees 7 Nothing stood out just usual dependable self. Loovens 7 Same as Lees Jones 7 One if those players you just don't notice much. Kept it ticking over nicely though. Bannan 7 He's never afraid of the ball but I wish he would practice those long shots a bit more. Every time it sails a yard over. Reach 7 Excellent first half. Tired and mistakes in the second. He never goes missing though. Looks like Waddle but without the panache in the ball. Wallace 8 Dead ball master. Such a confident lad. Great player to have in the run in. Hooper 7 So strong. Doesn't give a throw how many defenders are around him. Robust and skillful. Rhodes 6 Plenty of willing but not the type of game for him to shine in. Would like to see that partnership given time to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think tank Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Semedo came on quite early? Carlos does seem to try and shut up shop quite early in games when we are 1 goal ahead. Risky strategy, thankfully it paid off today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A number of forward runs with a pass to relieve pressure. He isnt as unskillful as my memory tells me he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the short highlights Rhodes does well in the lead up to the first goal and it's a good header from him leading to the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at such a low angle and it was at the opposite end of the pitch. Hard to see the goals. Only that they went in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Owl Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hooper should get it just for the way he dumped their defender on his arse with a good old school shoulder barge, he didn't know what hit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelswfc Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Westwood 7 - Perhaps could have done better for the goal and a couple of kicks went straight out of play. Other than that, one superb save and his kicking is a very valuable asset... usually. Palmer 7 - Not on the same level as Hunt recently, but not particularly poor. Barely got forward, let Wallace play in front of him and Reach in the second half. Lees 8 - Rock. Absolute rock. Loves to head it and some vital interceptions. A joy to watch. Loovens 7 - Very dependable as always. Distribution a bit off today, but hard to complain after his battling performance. Pudil 8 - Great awareness for his goal and some superb crossing. Great to have last year's Pudil back. Probably should have scored in the second half with a free header from a corner. Wallace 8 - Every single dead ball superb. Always looking to get forward in open play. Helped Palmer out. Bannan 7 - Worked very hard. Some great balls but a bit too much hopeful punting for me. Love his sliding tackles. Jones 7 - Easy to see why he was so important to Burnley but he doesn't quite have he lets anymore. Good interceptions and fantastic in the transition phases. Instantly looks to play short passes forwards or to the creative outlets. Reach 7 - Fantastic first half, disappointing second. On the counter he is a superb weapon, but seems to struggle when having more time on the ball. Dealing with the pressure on his shoulders form the massive fee very well. I like him, and will definitely improve. Hooper 8 - Incredible first half, QPR couldn't get the ball off him. Clearly tired in the second half. Rhodes 7 - Still not quite working for him, but did play key roles in both goals. Manages to get so much power on his shots. Happy to do dirty work as well. Yet to work out his best partner, don't think he did enough today to keep his place. Subs Forestieri 7 - Didn't get that involved, but hassled at every opportunity. Great at the end of games as it's so hard to get the ball off him. Semedo 7 - Love that man. Some smashing tackles and a couple of driving runs. Still up to it. Nuhiu 7 - Couple of tricks but a couple of fouls. Almost created a goal for FF when he broke on the counter. Valuable player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
