Match Thread: Queens Park Rangers FC v Leicester City

Not a terrible performance today at all. Dozell let the side down, but we may well have gone on to lose anyway.

Some really decent performances in there… I thought Chair was very good today, but we just don’t ever look like scoring regularly even if we can look decent enough in other departments.

At 1-1 until the sending off I thought we looked more likely to score. Bit sickening really. Dozzell should've just fallen down sniper victim style when he was pushed. I don't spose their tosser would've walked though? At least they gave Gareth a decent send off with a half decent performance.

We deserved a point...but thanks to the usual Championship 'standard' of ref we didn't get what we deserved!

I don’t think your criticism of the referee is valid, WA. In my opinion, the referee got it absolutely right.

Andre Dozzell deserved a yellow card for his initial tackle (which was a good team foul to make even though the inevitable outcome would be a yellow); and his opponent deserved a yellow card for pushing Andre in the chest. If Andre had been smart, he would’ve just smiled at the guy and they both would’ve got a yellow card and it would have been even stevens. But as has been the general problem recently, ill discipline has cost us today. I’ve been astounded by some of the stupid decisions and actions taken by some of the players over recent weeks and we are fully getting what we deserve. Hopefully the next manager can introduce some discipline and we might go onto better things. God help us if we don’t.

We now face Rotherham next week missing two of our starting midfield; make that three if Sam Field has to be a CB. Next week’s result has huge Importance.

I wasn't actually complaining at the sending off which, as you quite rightly implied, was totally avoidable. I simply thought there were a number of occasions where the referee seemed 'reluctant' to give decisions against Leicester that perhaps he should. The ex-Prem teams always seem to receive 'special privileges' from the officials.
