"I wanted to change things but I can't ask the players to drastically change from what was working well for us, there's no way I'd get their buy in for that"
Common sense really and a good indication of what's gone wrong here, imo.
I see that since we beat them they have managed a deserved draw against Leicester & smashed Blackburn.

Yes showing signs of improvement as are QPR. The comfort factor with what looked like three complete basket cases at the bottom a month ago is eroding quite quickly.

Can’t see more than a single point before then. Coventry Cardiff and Plymouth away and Leicester at home.
Stoke are shite, if that goes bad ways the fans will turn big time.
I fear it’s already turned very toxic im afraid. Had sections of the crowd singing anti Rooney songs yesterday, and obviously he was booed off at both half and full time.

Brilliant day yesterday, poor performance of course and probably a few more before WR can get rid of the DvBs dross.
But still he’s managed to turn the stadium into fortress St Andrews. Well done Wayne.
Not blues related per se but do you think their should be a minimum period of service (2 or 3 seasons) before a player does this? Seeing players do it six months after arriving at a club just feels cheap. It should mean something or am I just an old romantic?

Yeah noticed them towards the end of the game.
Wonder what they thought of it today ?
Wonder if they spotted the fact that hugely paid professional footballers in Blue shirts regularly failed to find a team mate with simple 5 or 10 yard passes ?
Apparently that's Rooney's fault and the poor lambs are blameless !

Roger Johnson was a real nause on commentary.
I think we are the only channel who has ex players who seem to be biased to the opposition.
Painter is awful as well. Johnson was defending every bad tackle by them because he was a dirty player himself no doubt.
Some of the other channels are so biased in their own teams favour it's embarrassing but we do the opposite.
Taking some stick. In each of the last three games there could have been a sending off against him.
Refs seem reluctant in this league to Red the bad challenges. Don’t think they understand the game enough.
On a slightly more fussy point the right sided player for Rotherham today used his arms all the time. Could have been a foul every time he was near Buchanan who I thought did well not to react.
30 or so leftover from taking the piss at Villa Park decided to treat themselves to a day out at the Blues. I did wonder what the singing and dancing was from my distance perch in the corner of the Tilton
I know many don't like the xg stats, but I personally do think they are a good barometer of performance and at showing a teams trajectory.
So far, Rooney has only finished one game where we've had a higher xg than the opponent. Which was Blackburn.
Our xg for has been up and down similar to the previous manager but it's our xg against where the contrast is damning. 13.42 xg against in the 8 games. 10.45 xg against in the first 11 games of the season.

Refs clearly seen it as he’s booked the bastard, what the effs that all about.

I sat in the main stand today. Listened to Cook’s comments about increasing revenue being the number one priority for the club which it is for any business. This isn’t revelational insight. I have never experienced such inept service than I had today in the main stand. It wasn’t busy and yet the hospitality staff had no clue how to serve, I had to explain what a beef pasty was to then be told they didn’t have any… I then had to point at one and was eventually served the same pasty they claimed they didn’t have.

Thank the good Lord above that you re-emerged mr Q
To distract from today's dismal showing - and to be frank I'm fed up of thinking about it - anyone had any snow yet?
