There’s one message coming from the fans, and it’s a pretty simple one.
Now the onus is on the management to make it happen, so let’s just hope they can get it sorted sharpish, because with the club’s top scorer no longer available, we can’t just rely on scoring five and six goals a game anymore to keep up out of trouble.
QPR came crashing back down to earth last night when it came to the league, having beaten high flying Leeds United on their previous outing, Mark Warburton’s men fell 2-1 away to Blackburn Rovers, and it’s fair to say that there is one thing that is concerning the supporters, and that’s the club defensive record.
So when Warburton spoke after the game and talked about the soft goals that they were conceding, the fans tore into him over his comments and insisted that now only does he need to do something about it, but that he should have realised this earlier given the side’s poor defensive record, the third-worst in the division.
OK, so what are you going to do about it in training? Like a broken record

No wonder MW gets sacked from everywhere, training must be, "here's the ball go and attack, don't bother about defending.

Any chance of a new defensive coach?

People shouting for a striker what about the defence thou? Can count the clean sheets this season on one hand. Not good enough.

Same ole excuses individual errors. Why aren't you sorting them out then Mark instead of repeating yourself after every defeat?

We are giving away soft goals ? Has he only just realised? We've been doing it all season .

Probably should work more on the defensive side of things then. The attacking side of the game is fine which is an improvement over the last four years, but the defensive side is as bad as ever.

Stary by getting decent defenders, it's not rocket science.

Well spotted mark. If only Our forwards converted more chances then that mean our defence could learn the basics

Will Warburton fix our leaky defence by the end of the season?
Yes
No
With a few days left in the window, I guess we’ll see if he fixes the problem on the training ground or in the transfer market.
