I just watched the extended highlights and we didn't look too bad, but the goals we gave away were very frustrating.
McGuiness and Goutas equally to blame for the first.
Bowler looks to be a breath of fresh air.
I'd like to see more of NG taking more pop shots from far as he's clearly got it in him.
Browsing our friends down the road forum......seems they are more disenchanted than we are.....i
Some of those managers thought Andy Rinomhota and Ebou Adams could play possession football.
Colwill tries too much because he has to, and he's young. He has to make an impact otherwise he won't get picked. If he keeps things neat and tidy, then it goes unnoticed and we don't commit players to attacks. He's got talent, which is more than can be said for most of our midfielders. Tanner and Colwill were two positives yesterday, they took the game to QPR. It is a shame some of our senior pros didn't.
Tanner has really, really filled out too. I am stunned at his development, fair play to him.
I may be wrong but I think Colwill has had three different injuries over the past 18 months along with at least two serious doses of growthspurtisis. He is probably over all that now and with a fresh start and new manager able to make a real impact. He got into the Wales squads and was talked up by all and sundry for a reason.
That reason was talent.
No guarantees, but I think (with Ramsey as unofficial coach and mentor) this is his big season.
feeling a bit more positive after watching that back.
uncharacteristic mistake from O'Dowda who has been one of our most professional players since he joined, that meant we were chasing the game and another error for the second when Goutas went to ground and didn't get the ball.
there were positives though. Ng fired some lovely balls into the box, this formation really plays to his strengths. we hit the woodwork twice and had a lot more about us going forward than we did this time last year.
I don't think we are too far away from being a decent side.

loads of stats from the game in there
I agree that the O'Dowda error was uncharacteristic but he made up for it with his assist for Ugbo and had a decent game for a guy playing out of position.
People blaming Ramsey for our second but it was a long way from goal and we should have defended better.
As you rightly say, Goutas was the main culprit and going to ground in that position was suicide.
He and McGuinness don't look a comfortable pairing and although I like Ng as a player, a right back he ain't.
The defence worries me.
We had no luck but you could argue that you make your own which we didn't do enough of.
I was gutted after the game on Saturday but having just watched the MU v Wolves game, I feel there are fans feeling a lot worse than ours right now.
