Excellent review. I actually think that we need to ride this out with Marti. Clearly the recruiting has been a disaster apart from Saito and Nardi, with Dembele now out for most of the season. I think the options for Marti have been less than he was given last season. Frey out injured again and that guy that looks like Cesar left as our only 'official' striker. Kevin Gallen has been saying for seasons that we desperately need 3-4 strikers and we really must look in this country for one from a lower league or from a Prem academy, Or two! I agree we should get someone in on a free now but who? Can't think of anyone available. I've said elsewhere that Sheffield Wednesday deployed Paul Warhurst, a centre back as an emergency striker in the 90s and he scored 12 goals in 12 games. Jimmy Dunne has had the most touches so far this season in the opposition box (believe it or not) and he's 6 foot 4 and pretty comfortable in that space. Madder things have happened, apart from the ill fated Danny Shitu experiment Ollie tried. The upside is that Saito really should be playing every match and Varane is starting to get up to speed in the middle. Alfie Lloyd should be given a proper chance. Who knows with Kolli? Apparently injured again! Marti needs to stay. At the moment the players still trust him, he's got half a team and for me Nourry sacking him would be tantamount to steering the Titanic at yet another iceberg with the ship already holed. It would be madness. But this is QPR so who knows. If Marti does go I think after 50+ years as boy and idiot supporting this lot that I'd just go and hide in a cave and perhaps start crochet instead.
Agree 100% with you. Unfortunately I've got 60+ years of following this lot and I don't like crochet. I'll have to resign myself to watching daytime TV and dribbling in my beard !
Excellent match review Hoopsa. I was there and what I missed you explained brilliantly. I agree we were fortunate to get a point. Hope your prediction for Cardiff is correct!
Marti is not to blame for this. No point in putting a new guy in charge of this bunch of players. It has been so Obvious for so long that a Decent Striker was needed and what happens, we buy Celar. Its the people calling the shots that need replacing. The best manager in the World could not do any better with this Shower. Marti Deserves better.
great review as usual Conor. What really bugged me was we had a right wing back playing at left back and a left back sitting on the bench.......... I think this team is so weak Marti needs to play 3 centre backs and Paal and Ashby as wing back.
Good review again, Hoopsa. Seems most of us, me included, see Marti as the saviour. He is the only real quality we have. Believe in him and let him get on with the job.
It is absolutely pointless in considering sacking Marti because with this group of players and all the injuries I defy any new manager to do any better. Clearly a favourite with players and fans - it’s at the top where the failure to progress is paramount 😬
Neither could I but credit to him he has been a fall guy, but it was amazing to see what he is capable of. Surely he needs more service as well as the (dozy board = recruitment / Nourrey getting the club a more consistent striker.
What a magnificent sporting gesture, deliberate missing the penalty. As it was never a penalty in a million years. The Kings of West London result at Everton, will go down in the history books of football ….
Hi there Conor just realised again some of these comments are old just after the Stoke match prior to the Cardiff game. I am not sure it's a good idea to keep old comments and posting them with a new video talking about Watford. I prefer new video and new comments. I posted a comment on the Cardiff game and looking at the other comments realised that they were pre-Cardiff. Just to say it can be confusing. I hope you don't mind me making thst point. Thanks
Simply we cannot score between 2 sticks. Cifuentes will continue all the way to Div 1 and the Board would be financially content if the fans don't protest.The concept of "Marti will put it right" is ominously risky .I believe we need to be far more decisive.The current team is lightweight, vulnerable and weak ..We could see ourselves going down whilst Ainsworth's goal scoring "Shrews" pass us on the way up....I would like to see Warbs take over ASAP before it is too late
I’m not necessarily sure if Martí will put it right but I do think we’re doomed under any manager with this current squad. If we bring in a new one and he still gets us relegated, do we sack him as well?
@@HoopsaUA-cam You have got to have hope with a new manager, but other than Marti staying, I can only think of Warbs being the right fit. I believe he would at least consider it.
Looks like you may be returning from yours hols as Marty takes his! Do we keep with him? He looked so demoralized and lost at his post Stoke match interview. I fear he will go, when it’s clearly the “decision makers” above him that are at fault.
It’s the same in multiple positions, including RB, where we still play a CB (who’s not good enough to play in his natural position), striker, and even arguably LB. No true competition for places
It’s abundantly Celar isn’t cut for this level, I almost feel sorry for him at this point. Madsen did some nice stuff in the first half I thought but he does go missing
@@HoopsaUA-cam Haha, "It's abundantly Celar…" even his name gets used as an adjective now!! Jokes aside, I really hope he somehow comes good (if for anything, for his mental wellbeing), as there are countless stories of strikers not scoring until the moment when it all changes (Pukki, Chris Wood, Paul Furlong…)…
I can't see us playing in the championship next season we are diabolical, Far too many bad signings far too many players already at club not good enough far too many mistakes and far too many season skirting relegation All in all we are in a shambolic position only positive is players still seem to be doing best for Marti sadly their best is not good enough
The “far too many players already at the club not good enough” mustn’t be forgotten. This team wasn’t good enough last season and we’ve gone into another one with 2/3 of them
@ Yep why Edb got a new deal beyond belief not sure if u went to Cambridge game the lad Barton for them was everything none of our cm offer pace with the ball movement closing down at pace ok varane now looks that bit but no creativity. Why we we didn’t say here’s 250k and kolli and edb sums up our thought process

good review as always mate. I think it might be time to try Saito as a striker maybe, alongside Celar/lloyd?
When Celar couldn't even hit the target from a penalty I couldn't believe my eyes
I knew he was going to miss it 😩
Neither could I but credit to him he has been a fall guy, but it was amazing to see what he is capable of. Surely he needs more service as well as the (dozy board = recruitment / Nourrey getting the club a more consistent striker.
Imagine Jimmy Dunne working in a China shop.
😂 He’s the most cumbersome footballer I’ve ever watched
What a magnificent sporting gesture, deliberate missing the penalty. As it was never a penalty in a million years.
The Kings of West London result at Everton, will go down in the history books of football ….
Dedication!

Hi mate, no problem - these reactions and previews have only been merged while I’m away on holiday. Back to normality this weekend 😊
I did see Celar kick at something on the sideline when he was replaced. Looked like a better strike than the missed penalty.
😂😂

@HoopsaUA-cam so we up the creek either way

@@iamtheprogression Like to see Warbs replace Cifuentes and you would feel the difference overnight
@@charleswilliams4059 agreed, bang. Want cifuentes to come good if not warbs
Straight outa Compton ! If only we had some hoops with attitude. Keep us the good work, enjoy your hols.
Thank you 😊
Fans were behind Marti on Saturday…….again a must not lose at Cardiff would take a point……
1-0 😂 we can’t keep relying on OG to score,2-0 Cardiff,another honest review,👍
OG is the man 🫡
@@HoopsaUA-cam and we got him on a free,😂
Celar has been a disaster

We are down and another defeat on Tuesday at Cardiff 2-0
Ravens V Chargers review?
🐦⬛⚡️
I’ll keep you posted 🫡
Smyth couldn't finish his dinner he is an impact player in this league and nothing more but because we have no other options he gets to play

Trying to keep the faith but its the dame sht just a different season 😕. Really hope they don't sack Marti though, i mean, what would be the point?
It’s even worse this year 😩
How bad is celar and marsden the refs are desperate for us to win
It’s abundantly Celar isn’t cut for this level, I almost feel sorry for him at this point. Madsen did some nice stuff in the first half I thought but he does go missing
