Following on from Saturdays draw at Leicester hopes were high that Rangers could build on that result and put in a better performance at home to Plymouth. Those hopes were quickly evaporated when I went to have a bet in the upper Loft and saw the team sheet.

To say I was disappointed is an understatement. Just the one change with Ben Sahar dropped and Daniel Nardiello in. No real complain with that but quite why Stefan Moore was still in the side as well as Zesh Rehmann was beyond me. I was pissed off before a ball was kicked and had a bet with my wife over the game. I said that on fifty eight minutes Moore would be taken off and Ephraim brought on, it seemed obvious to me and in truth that was the only source of excitement of those first 58 minutes counting down to the inevitable change and claiming my shiny pound coin.

Before the game new owners Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatorie were out on the pitch signing autographs for fans ready to see how their new team was shaping up. I'd imagine they weren't very impressed. Also in town was former manager Ian Holloway who brought his Plymouth side to town, Holloway was in Hammersmith before the game signing copies of his new autobiography for QPR fans which provides something of an eye opener in how the club was run during his time as manager.

Anyway back to the football and the game kicked off with rangers attacking towards the school end and the QPR fans were in decent voice. The Q block drummer was banging away his we are the rangers boys song and a long burst of Gregory's blue and white army gave a vote of confidence to the under pressure manager from the supporters.

The game wasn't the best though with Plymouth winning an early free kick when Stewart needlessly pushed Barry Hayles over. Halmosi lined it up and curled a brilliant effort over the wall and just inches wide with Camp well beaten.

This woke Rangers up and a neat move almost created our first league goal of the season at Loftus Road as Blackstock played a pass through for Nardiello who beat the offside trap but his effort was saved by the keeper.

Rangers began to get into the game with Leigertwood looking far more confident in midfield and he used the ball well looking to keep the ball on the floor and keep possession. Nardiello up front was showing excellent movement to get in some good positions but the offside flag was denying him on several occasions. Perhaps our best attacking weapon was Zesh Rehmann who was having a good game at right back. He was coming from deep and keeping the ball well and providing a few decent balls into the box. His best delivery saw him pick out Nardiello whose looping header beat the keeper but bounced off the top of the bar.

Plymouth continued to look a threat from set pieces as Buzacky went close with a great curling free kick, which went inches wide. They almost scored from a corner as our zonal marking system gifted another chance to the opposition. Stewart, Cullip and co all made sure the vital space was all marked nice and tight and Plymouth players all stood on the edge of the box with no QPR players near them. The ball went to the edge of the box with Rangers marking space around the six-yard box and we were lucky that with time and space to smash a shot in a Plymouth midfielder sliced his effort well wide.

At the other end a defensive cock up almost let Stefan Moore in but the keeper did well to save at Moore's feet. This was an improvement in Moore's performance, he's touched the ball at leas twice, which was more than he had at Leicester.

At half time the sides were level and I think John Gregory would have been the happier manager as Rangers without playing anywhere near their best were doing Ok and looking capable of winning the match. Quite what happened at half time is anyone's guess but to say the second half went wrong for us is an understatement.

Plymouth came out of the blocks flying as their midfield began to dominate. The plan for them was simple, keep the ball and switch the play to the wings as often as possible and we never looked like being able to cope with it. Most of the attacks were coming down our right with Moore offering no help at all to Rehmann crosses began to fly into the box. Chris Barker did well to come across and beat Hayles to a header and clear the danger with Damion Stewart standing nowhere near his man.

It was no shock when Plymouth took the lead and it was yet another defensive cock up which lead to the goal. Halmosi got the ball on the left and cut inside Rehmann who slipped and fell on his arse leaving Halmosi space and he took advantage placing a cracking shot past Camp into the bottom corner. Poor old Rehmann looked devastated and the boos began to come for the former Fulham man.

The confidence was now gone and Rangers kicked off with a bizarre new tactic that looked like something from the rugby world cup. We took two touches then hoofed the ball high in the air down the wing as several players chased after it. The ball ended up in the stand and it was hard not to laugh.

Rangers then built a promising attack but the ball went wide to Rehmann who was slaughtered by most fans with boos and jeers so it was no surprise he messed up the through ball. I felt a bit sorry for Zesh, I'm not exactly his biggest fan but he was one of our better players before the goal.

We almost got a goal back when Nardiello did well to beat his man before being brought down by on the edge of the box. Rowlands stood over the ball and curled a quality free kick over the wall but it hit the bar with the keeper beaten.

Gregory then made the change on 59 minutes (bugger I was so close). Moore was replaced by Ephraim (that was a shock) and Rehmann went off to be replaced by Bignot who got a heroes reception. The change didn't have a great effect with Plymouth soon 2-0 up.

Bignot failed to deal with a ball down the left and Halmosi beat him in the air to head across for Norris who had strolled through the midfield with no one picking him up and found himself with an easy tap in. Game over and this was the cue for many fans to leave and those who stayed must have been wondering why they were bothering. We tried our hilarious rugby kick off again which didn't work, the referee called us back to take it again and we tried the same thing for a third time with the same inevitable result. It looked like something the team have worked on in training which is frightening.

Ranger's confidence had gone and the linesmen wasn't helping everyone's mood with some very tight offside decisions going against us. Nardiello was playing right on the last shoulder of the defence and made some great runs behind the back four but at times the ball through was a little late and at others the linesmen got decisions wrong. It was hard to tell though if we were being robbed or not but the one time we did beat the offside trap Nardiello smashed the ball into the crowd.

Gregory made his final change bringing on Sahar for Nardiello who has been the pick of a very bad bunch. Sahar missed a sitter when a ball into the box bounced over the defence and the Chelsea man was clean through but shot over the bar.

At the other end it could have been a lot worse as Plymouth cut us open at will playing some nice passing football. Their midfield was far better than ours and quite how Hayles failed to make it 3-0 from a lovely low cross is a mystery,

Rangers had a late penalty shout as we decided to keep the ball on the floor for the last ten minutes but the ref was having none of it and during injury time Rowlands was denied by a good save with our first shot on target all night

The final whistle brought a few boos as another defeat means we are the only club in the football league to have not won a game yet due to Sheffield Wednesday's cup exploits.

This was another piss poor night where we only had ourselves to blame. Gregory needs to have a long hard look at himself and ask why on earth he is picking that team. Stefan Moore is sadly just a waste of space, what was the point of signing Hogan Ephraim on loan and not picking him. If we are looking to ease a youngster into the side I'd rather we eased one of our own in such as Kieron St Aimie. Rehmann as well being picked is unbelievable. To be fair to him he did ok last night but he is always a minute away from a major cock up as he showed at Luton last year. For Gregory to continue to pick him beggars belief. The bloke is not good enough for this level and even struggled on loan at Brighton last year.

When you have no real width it amazes me that full backs who overlap are left out of the side. Timoska seems an obvious choice to me at right back bombing forward on the right and giving us options going forward. On the left I'd have Bignot who will get forward and take some of the pressure off Rowlands. Instead we have two full backs who don't seem keen to go on the overlap and in Barkers case I've not seen him go past the halfway line too often. Our only answer to a lack of width so far has been to narrow and shorten the pitch. I know it's difficult to get loan players in at this stage of the season but it shouldn't have been a real shock that Cook and Ainsworth would not be playing for QPR at the start of the season so we had all summer to sign a winger or two rather than cross fingers and hope Stefan Moore can do a job.

We've still got no creativity in the side. Leigertwood at least tried to play it on the floor and is improving. Nardiello looks like he could be a good player with the right service he's not getting it with us though.

At half time the game was quite even but all it took was for Plymouth to step up a gear and they blew us away. This isn't one of the better sides in the division either which is a worry. One I think I noticed in the battle of the soon to be ex QPR managers was that ollies team were organised and every player seemed to have a job and know what to do. That should be the least you expect from a team but it's something we have not looked like doing all season. Plymouth were nothing special no more than average and to be honest I don't think they'll do well this season but they were still far better than us and at least tried to play it on the floor.

For various reasons I won't be able to see Rangers live again until we play Norwich next month, I'll be very surprised if Gregory is still manager by then unless we see a major improvement in the next few weeks.
