QPR Ladies Reserves 10:0 Aylesbury

I suppose it would be fair to say we’ve been a little bit Jekyll and Hide so far this season. I missed last week due to having a bit of an accident on my bike and we lost 6:1 to Wycombe Reserves when in reality I think we all felt that would be a much closer game. The first-team also drew 1:1 with Team Bath but didn’t have a game this weekend.

QPR Ladies Reserves 0:3 Oxford City 3rds

The QPR Ladies Reserves lost today against an experienced and well marshalled Oxford City side in a match which proved to be a valuable learning lesson for the Hoops.

We are a young and new team and it showed. We only have a relatively small squad at the present time due to first-team call ups and injuries and when we come up against strong sides like this, then we need a full squad to be able to compete properly.

I said a little while back that if we continued to play in the manner we’ve done recently, then you’ll find that we’ll either win or lose a lot of games by the odd goal, and mainly 1-0 or 0-1 with the odd draw here or there thrown in for good measure. I don’t mean every game will end up with those scorelines, I just mean the actual play will be that sort of a game, and if a team gets killed off at the end because the other went for it, then that’s just how footbll can work. We’re in that cycle at the moment, it seems.

QPR 1:1 Blackpool

qpr1-1blackpool

I noted on one particular occasion no fewer than four players strolling back at walking pace after we lost the ball. They were all in the Blackpool half and if I was in charge, that behaviour would have infuriated me. It’s downright lazy and it doesn’t matter if you are tired or not on form, you have to do the basics properly.
