Myths, scapegoats and excuses - Redknapp

Great piece Clive.
You're not coming to Southampton at home then?
Also, where did this Paul Clement information come from?

Out of form QPR pick up another defeat, and injury, at Southampton — report
at 23:09:09

Southampton this past weekend marked my first away match outside of London. I've been going Loftus Road for 10 years.
My mate and I (also his first away match) were impressed by the atmosphere at Yates before the match and by the banter in the walk up to the stadium.
After that? Well, my opinion would be that the travelling support was flat from the outset and never sang together until we scored. I didn't see any of the nastiness reported by Clive - I just saw apathy and bitching and moaning about the performance, pretty much from the opening whistle. Some of that was understandable, some of it was kinda depressing. I'm proud to be a QPR supporter win or lose but the away support on this occasion did not fill me with pride.
Performance-wise, I think that we were poor in the first half and rode our luck at times. We probably should have been down a goal early. It's easy to forget (as Clive does) that Rob Green's opening moments were actually quite good.
The 2nd half was a decent half of football overall. We fell behind behind on what seemed like a fluke of a goal but I was happy to see that we didn't let our heads drop. Junior Hoilett came on for Phillips and, for my money, he was our best player going forward. Clive didn't mention him at all which is surprising to me. It was his good work with the ball that opened up Vargas on the right, who Junior then hit with a sweet pass that Eduardo sent into the middle. Charlie's finish was pure class.
That we ended up losing on a Pelle wonder goal and could have come home with a point had Niko's shot been three centimetres lower seems to also have been lost on Clive.
Southampton had allowed 3 goals in 5 matches prior and none of them were conceded at home.
We played some good stuff at times and Charlie's finish was mint. I think that this match is something to build on to be honest. Time will tell...
