Nolan for me is one of those players who flatters to deceive,a good looking footballer who doesnt actually do a lot in a game,his lack of pace is also a hindrance.Gardner was superb compared to Nolan. Donohue second half had bags of space on the left numerous times and did f all with the ball.
I guess with the new lads I am taking into account it was their very first game at this level and they will need time to adjust .In those circumstances I thought they did well.
I do agree there is a comparison to 2012 but Im hoping the youngsters and returning players can improve enough to get us out of it .

It's a big gamble though Pooch. We've signed young loan players who have been thrown in at the deep end. Faupala went on loan to NAC Breda in August 2016 it was meant to be for a whole season but he made 3 appearances scored 1 goal and they sent him back to Manchester City at the start of January this year.

Osman Kakay has only made 1 appearance for QPR and was sent on loan last season to Livingston where he made 12 appearances.

Liam Grimshaw played for Manchester United Youth team was sent on loan to Morecambe in 2014 he never made an appearance, he then was sent on loan to Motherwell in 2015 where he made 14 appearances before Preston bought him in the January transfer window in 2016. He's made 5 appearances for Preston.

Reece Brown played for Birmingham City youth team made it to the first team and made 20 appearances for the first team and went on loan to Notts County during the 2014-15 season.

Sadiq El Fitouri played for Manchester City youth team, they released him he went to Salford City played 1 game and then Phil Neville got him a youth contract at Manchester United and he joined us after getting released by Manchester United.

It's a shame we let Armand go because I think he's the type of player we need this season, he's big, he's strong and can cause nightmares for defenders especially in the air. The problem we've had this season is we're are too light upfront there's no physicality.
