If there was one thing that summed up Mark Warburton’s problems at Queens Park Rangers right now, let it be this one.
With the game poised at 0-0 with just five to go, with the potential to go and nick a late winner, he decides to go completely the opposite direction and bring on a right-back for a right-back by swapping Todd Kane with Angel Rangel.
What makes the whole thing worse is that it was the only change of the night, so he could have still made an attacking substitution on top of it, but no, he decided that that would be that and left the game to play out as it did.
And this move did not go down well with the QPR fans at all, as they slammed Warburton’s decision to not only settle for the draw, but to do so in one of the most nonsensical ways possible. At least bringing off a forward for an attacker to see out a game would make some level of sense.
That’s the change? Ummmm not really the problem here.

What’s Oteh and Clarke got to do to get on the pitch? It’s becoming a joke

Surely I’m seeing things, we have not just brought on Todd Kane.

What do QPR need to fix more?
The attack
The defence
I wonder how many more of these kinds of decisions he has up his sleeve for us to enjoy.
We have just ended a little bad run with a decent away point against a team who are in the top 10, and ought to be higher. We were clearly the better side, but struggle to score. Look at the positives, far better on the eye than last season, becoming financially stable, never, ever a contender to go up, far too soon to even consider that realistically, with some good youth players coming through, yet still we get these doom and gloom fans repeating almost word for word the comments from the Forest fans when we appointed Warburton. Its almost as if they want those detrimental criticisms to turn out right so they can point the finger and say ” we were told he was no good” , be careful what you wish for, give the man time, a bit of support, nothing wrong with Constructive Criticism, but mimicking what you have been told when you dont know the facts does Rangers fans no credit at all
Surely this was a decision of emotion As most of you probably know Rangel was and still is a legend at Swansea. I am a Swansea fan so I may be wrong, but the game was total shit for 90 mins and I guess Warburton gave Rangel the chance get a standing ovation. Not sure either side was going to win it if they were still playing now !
