Wigan v QPR player ratings
QPR are just three points above the relegation zone after another dismal defeat. Here’s how we rated each Rangers player in the 1-0 loss to bottom side Wigan.
Seny Dieng: 6
Had very little to do – against a poor Wigan side – after the winning penalty early on.
Rob Dickie: 6
Better than most of his performances this season, and there were glimpses of his ability to play the ball out from the back, but still well short of his best.
Leon Balogun: 5
Mostly organised the defence well but his daft foul to give away the decisive penalty was hugely costly.
Jimmy Dunne: 5
Repeatedly caught out and dragged out of position in the first half, including by the long ball which led to the penalty.
Ethan Laird: 5
Looked to get forward but didn’t offer much.
Stefan Johansen: 6
Not bad, but unable to really influence the game in midfield, which was largely bypassed.
Sam Field: 6
Worked hard off the ball as always, but like Johansen he was unable to make much of an impression.
Kenneth Paal: 6
Not great, but clearly a much better option on the left than the alternatives, so his return was welcome. Denied a late equaliser when his strike was saved by keeper Ben Amos.
Chris Willock: 6
His return was somewhat encouraging. Willock looked sharper than before his latest injury lay-off, showing flashes of his quality and delivering a couple of crosses, including one which led to a chance for Chris Martin.
Lyndon Dykes: 5
Operated in a wider position so Rangers could have two physical forwards as well as Willock on the pitch. Made no impact at all before going off.
Chris Martin: 5
Easily contained even by a defence as poor as Wigan’s. Flicked wide when set up by Willock’s cross.
Ilias Chair: 6
Came on at half-time and, like Willock, offered at least a touch of quality but was unable to create an opening.
Jamal Lowe: 6
At least offered some much-needed pace in attack after his introduction.

Surely, either Im right or they really are scared stiff of getting anywhere near promotion, because if THAT IS the reason, they are right – they are are simply not good enough for the jump up to the next league.

We have to fight to stay up and the Board must back Ainsworth, to dispatch the overpaid and underachievers and replace with a mixture of proven experience and keen up and coming players.
Please try to get Langstaff from Notts County.
40 goals this season without taking penalties !
We desperately need a striker.

First half of the season = all fit and top of the league.
Second half of the season = most injured & bottom of the league.
This says to me we do not have a large enough/good enough squad to survive in this league. Something for Sir Les to sort out during the summer.

Where will the next win come from – eh Les? most of this lot arrived under your watch.

Another woeful “performance”, with no attacking threat, a hesitant defence, and a midfield not sure of itself (whether to support the defence or get forward). When Ken Paal the left back and at 3 feet nothing has the most telling goal threat right at the death it shows just how lacklustre and devoid of confidence this side are.
