Well we've seen some shit this season but last night has to be the worst of the lot. It's hard to know where to start summing up last nights game.

Gary Waddock kept the side unchanged so once again there was no place in the side for Langley, Donnelly or Baidoo as Waddock went with workers rather than creativity in central midfield.

Rangers started quite brightly as Lee Cook went close before Shittu headed a free kick over the bar. We took the lead after seven minutes when a long throw by Lomas was flicked on by Youssouf and Marc Nygaard appeared to miss hit his shot and it went under the keeper for 1-0. The celebrations around the ground were muted and this should have been the start f an easy win.

Stoke didn't look interested and we should have extended the lead when lee Cook was brought down for a penalty. Gareth Ainsworth grabbed the ball but never looked confident and his spot kick was easily saved.

After that it was all downhill. We played no football at all instead preferring to hoof it long to the front two whilst the midfield just stood and watched.

Rangers were dealt a blow when Youssouf, who had looked useful early on, was taken off with a nasty looking injury. Stefan Moore was the surprise choice to replace him and his quick sprint onto the pitch was his only contribution of the evening.

The rest of the half was dire stuff. Me and Carly counted the passes in the first half, 3 was the most QPR managed in a row before hoofing it and that included the roll out from the keeper. Stoke managed 7 in a row at one stage and should have got level but once again Paul Jones saved the day with two excellent saves before Chadwick hit the bar with the Rangers defence all over the place.

Half time couldn't come quickly enough and I don't think I was alone in seriously considering going home at half time, that's how bad the first half was and the second half was even worse.

For 20 minutes nothing happened as we hoofed it to them and they hoofed it back to us. I don't think I've ever been so bored at a football match.

Ainsworth had a shot and at the other end Jones made another couple of good saves. The game was crying out for someone to put their foot on the ball in midfield and with the strikers become more and more isolated we badly needed Furlong and Langley on. The change didn't happen though until it was far too late.

Stoke were woeful but we were even worse and gifted them two goals in quick succession. The first came after Shittu blocked the run of a Stoke forward and gave away a penalty. Despite the protests it looked clear cut to me. The penalty was dispatched into the corner with Jones going the wrong way and suddenly Stoke sensed victory.

Finally Langley was brought on to replace Bircham and before he could get a touch we were 2-1 down. More laughable defending this time by Shittu gifted them a chance in the box which left Jones with no chance.

So 2-1 down and now Furlong came on for Ainsworth with Langley going out wide.

The change worked as finally we had someone to hold the ball up and some creativity. Cook was suddenly in the game and supplied chances for Moore, Furlong and Langley late on but it wasn't to be and Rangers got exactly what they deserved. Nothing. The team were rightly booed off after producing another candidate for worst performance of the season and I think this one might be a winner.

I really am fed up now of this team. We were promised an overnight change in style by Waddock, it's been a bloody long night is all I can say as we're even worse than we were under Holloway at the moment who at least had the sense to play a creative player in central midfield, ok it did take him 3 years to work that out but when fit he tended to have either Gallen, Rowlands or Langley in the middle during the last 16 months of his time at QPR.

Waddock really does have to get rid of this Bircham/Lomas combo as it doesn't work, especially at home against a side as bad as Stoke and before that Brighton. As soon as Langley came on we actually created something before he was shifted to the right wing within 5 minutes, wonder what people would have said if Holloway had done that? If this keeps up I hope Waddock has some good gardening tools as he might need them in a few weeks.

A couple of questions bug me. What's happened to Bailey, Donnelly and Baidoo? If we're not playing Baidoo due to his contract problem that seems stupid to me, play him and give him an incentive to stay. If the defence has improved as much as fans on the .org are saying it has, then why are we giving away 6 clear cut chances a game and in almost every game under Waddock the keeper has been man of the match.

To be fair I don't actually blame Waddock for everything, he's got the same problem Ollie had in that although he wants us to get the ball down and play, the players he's picking are simply not good enough to carry that out.

Crewe are next up and I'd expect to see some big changes to the team in a game we really should win.
