We held out last week but that was against a very poor Hull side. QPR have tricky players who can create something out of nothing. & I don't expect them to be as impotent in the 2nd half. Really need to up the tempo & stop sodding about with it in our own half. We've looked pretty good at times, but then petered out.
QPR have nothing to play for though... Phillips has been a bystander for most of the game again
Long way to go in this game but at present it feels as though Bowyer really has gotten us more organised compared with pre-lockdown

I think Hull looked the better side on what I've seen. QPR were poor, because we made them poor, for the first 35 minutes. It's only when they started going more direct in the last 10 did they look semi threatening
In both games so far they've acted as a mini HT and have changed the game a little bit as we've gone from the front foot before them to being more defensive after
Although imagine its not helped we've scored in the first "quarter" each time

I think the old number 9 throwing his toys out of the pram and buggering off has opened up our style of play, which may have caught out Hull and QPR.
We're not pinning our hopes on one player now, the responsibility is being shared and the players are relishing that.
McGeady looks half the man/twice the player he was pre-lockdown, Morgs is showing glimpses of how good a player he can become, Hemed is looking sharp (just needs a goal!), the defence is solid, Dillon is a spectator.

No I felt that last week as though we'd started playing long ball a lot less - Cardiff and Millwall will be good tests for us

Or stick Green on at RM to cut in and shoot.

More of the same in the second. Important to keep pressing and keep Chair, Eze and the other bloke Something Samuel out of harm's way.
Half time coming when it did might have done us a favour as those 3 were becoming ever more influential.
McGeady might have to realise he's a bit old to be skipping past people now. Get half a yard, play the ball or have a shot.
Hemed playing well, such a shame he totally missed the ball when he was through! If he scores, I bet it's a header
Go and check the HT scores in the Championship.
Only one goal so far...
