Well that was a huge disappointment wasn’t it?
Not exactly the most thrilling of games to watch apart from the goals, and it didn’t really spark into life until the end of the game when things started getting desperate.
QPR are out of the FA Cup and barring a huge turnaround in fortune when it comes to the league, there won’t be any trips to Wembley this year for Mark Warburton’s men. And it was the QPR boss that seemed to come in for a lot of criticism when the game was over.
Warburton said ahead of the game that he intended to put out a ‘strong team’ against The Owls, but clearly that team wasn’t strong enough, and it was only when the ‘big names’ like Nahki Wells came on that QPR even looked like threatening, so I think it’s safe to say that Warburton got it wrong on this occasion.
At least that’s what these QPR fans seemed to believe after the game, as they tore into the boss over his decision making both during and after the game.
manager deserves the blame for the squad he put out, a far too weak squad

Very poor. I give up.

Also so surprised how badly Warburton is managing Lumley, strange to keep putting him in the firing line #QPRSHW #QPR #QPRFC

He said he would pick a strong team . He didn’t . BOS starts we win simple as that. And if you start Lumley you are accepting that at least one goal will be gifted to our opponents.

I’ve never known a manager change a team as much as Warburton. Suspensions or injuries not counting, there was no reason to change that team that started against Leeds. Just when you think we are going forward, one step back #QPR

Did Warburton get it wrong on Friday?
Yes, he should have gone stronger
No, he was right to rotate
Although in fairness to him, he can’t take all the blame, especially for something like the first goal, that’s a player problem more than anything.
