***QPR Friendly Official Matchday Thread***

HT Crawley 0 QPR 1

Early goal from a header from a corner. QPR had 4 or 5 decent chances and could’ve been out of sight. QPR started well and Crawley took 10-15 minutes to get into the game and started to get a lot of ball passing it neatly around the back. We have however struggled to progress the ball and haven’t been in the final third much at all. Morris seems to have been instructed to avoid kicking if long. Basically it’s like the Kewell season.

The puzzle for the manager to work will be his can we get the ball into the final third and get the attacking players involved more. Sometimes you need to play long balls from the back to progress the ball if no one is showing in midfield and your getting closed down.

It's a pre season friendly but for god's sake pass the ball forwards!

The point of possession football is to break the lines. You can't break the lines if the only two options to pass to are the centre backs.

It's pre season that may be the instructions.

Addai creates the first goal for Tilley - unfortunate slip at the start of the half but this is what he can do positively!

Don't know who he is but the 34 looks a bright spark for us. At fault for their 3rd goal mind.

Essentially QPR have brought a fair few squad players on and shock horror we can do something against those guys

Second half was great fun and well done for the comeback. Trialist no. 34 was really good and we need to sign him

Also thought Nadesan, Gallagher, Adebowale, Ludwig and Nichols did well
