Reply | Five-star Saints whitewash wretched Rangers – Report
at 16:53 26 Feb 2026
I always felt that the Hull game was winnable, but just didn't fancy us at Southampton for a lot of reasons laid out by Clive. That said I didn't put us down for a 5-0 thrashing, but once that 2nd went in, thought we are in trouble here. But Southampton are a team that can draw on an expensive range of talent in this division by the virtue of their status and plans for promotion. Basically beaten by a much better team, but agree the manner of the defeat, standards etc. has the usual question marks about what goes on at QPR. The next two home games are tough as well against a team that should be higher up in the table and another who are pushing for automatic promotion. Can the Rangers step up, not sure? |

Think sometimes we have to admit that teams are better than us, which Southampton are with the resources they have at their disposal. It can be argued that we should not be being walloped 5 nil, but this is the case when you come up against an in form team who can turn it on at this level, that was proved at Leicester the other week when they got that 4-3 win. QPR have to work hard for their wins because we don't have the strength of personnel that the top teams in this division have, expect if we had two or three of our better players available then the result would have been closer. |

Reply | Madsen hamstring
at 13:36 25 Feb 2026
There must be something wrong with the fitness regime, but could it be some of this in game without the possession strategy is very tiring and if you are forever chasing the game, there is a chance that muscle strains are more likely. Are players in the modern game overtrained? Looking at Southampton they were on the front foot most of the game, passing through and neatly to each other, we play too deep spend a lot of time without the ball and unable to hit our target men, who spend most of their time trying to criss cross the opposition defence feeding off scraps. Although Madsen's injury was in an attacking phase, it's not gone unnoticed for quite a few games he has been up and down the pitch clearing up etc and looks like his body has just reacted to this, a bit like Burrell and all his chasing around game after game. |

What I took away from last night was that basically Southampton have better players, whereas at Hull we could match them, because they are not as good as Southampton. If we had access to two or three of our injured better players we might have had a chance of getting something, but when you look at the players we brought on you sort of knew we could not match Southampton and being two or three down, the game had gone. Southampton are an improving well financed team with Prem parachute money who for me look in a strong position for the play offs and have been performing below par this season but and are now getting into gear. We are inconsistent and don't have the resources to kick on, the results at Hull and last night as well as against Blackburn tell us this. The manager knows this, but he has a duty to get a tune out of his players at his disposal at the next game, especially at home. Sheffield United and Boro are going to be two tough matches, one is a bit like Southampton under cooked this season, while the other is a top team at the moment in this division. This is overall a better season for us than last year but are we are falling into our usual early late winter/early spring slump, it's a trend which has dogged us since we left the Prem in 2015.

The gap between the haves and have nots in this division is clear to see and shown tonight. Didn't expect us to do much at Southampton, but we should expect better. Southampton are better financed and probably will be in the play offs, we just need to try and get some traction and at least turn up at home to Sheff Utd on Saturday. |

Had some great days out at the old Dell back in the 1980s, when QPR and Southampton were 1st division clubs, though I can't remember us winning there when I went. [Post edited 24 Feb 15:12]

I thought Spurs might be too strong to go down, but they may fall through the trap door, quite exciting this Premier relegation battle. |

Well done Daniel Bennie, after last week's problems, came on and turned this game with a cracking goal, and Kone sealed it well after missing a couple of sitters. |

The first season at the age of 12 I started really supporting QPR. My Dad took me to the Ipswich and Leeds home matches this season and my continual love of QPR was born from this date. My Dad also worked as a pools agent for QPR in the 1970s and knew Tony Ingham quite well, and asked him at Christmas 1975 if some of the players would sign a Christmas card for me, which they did and I still have it today. |

To be honest I thought Blackburn were pretty decent yesterday, they were tactically and physically stronger than us. Watching them line up in the 2nd half they basically had all 6ft plus players in the whole team against our midgets. Our recruitment still lacks the height and strength needed to be really serious contenders in this division. |

I agree Blackburn tactically and physically much stronger than us, beaten by a team better set up than us. Our mistakes were punished, theirs never led to anything for us. Lot of square pegs in round holes QPR team in my opinion, probably not helped by the injuries. Bennie and Vale really off the pace of the game and Blackburn's no.25 probably the best player. |

Poor today, they took their chances, we created nothing. Blackburn's no.25 rang rings round us and being their smallest player headed in the killer 3rd goal. Can't understand why Smyth did not start today on the right as Bennie had a bit of a mare, and really should have been subbed at half time. Hope Madsen injury not too bad as it did not look good. |

Although I find Frank annoying, he had a good number and set up at Brentford, of which Keith Andrews is continuing to deliver, well at least for this season. Spurs have just become a corporate venture, stadium, NFL, concerts and a football team. |

I can see why we took a gamble on Poku, hopefully it works out for him at QPR but at the moment it is not looking too promising on him being available in the near future. |

He has had hamstring injuries for over a year now, missed 3 months with Peterborough last season requiring surgery. Hopefully he can get fit, but it is not beyond the realms of probability why we were able to sign him and others passed on the opportunity, if he is injury prone and with dodgy hamstrings. |

The fanfare regarding his signing, unable to play a full game,makes a cameo appearance then has a hamstring, always injured, what is going on with Poku? Hope it's not another Taylor Richards type signing! |

Reply | Eze Thread - Sorry People !!
at 14:31 10 Feb 2026
Some good points here, Eze is a flair type player that's why he suited and developed that with us, further enhanced at Palace. Problem is that Arsenal sort of don't do flair players and if those of you old enough to remember Charlie Nicholas for them in the 80s, his career never really took off at Arsenal as expected. Always felt that Spurs would have been a better fit for Eze, they like flair players like we do at that club and he probably would have thrived there as the team could have been built around him, while at Arsenal they already have the players and system. |

Shame about Dembele, all the best for a good recovery for him. To be honest the position on Poku has concerned me most this season, we were led to believe he was a fantastic prospect, but he has just spent the whole season bar a few cameo appearances on the treatment table. |
