Watford v QPR player ratings
QPR’s season began appallingly as they lost 4-0 at Watford. Here’s how we rated the Rangers players.
Asmir Begovic: 6
Could do nothing about the goals and kept the score down in the second half by producing a number of saves.
Osman Kakay: 5
Caught out for the first Watford goal and struggled throughout.
Joe Gubbins: 5
A difficult full debut for the centre-back, who looked out of his depth.
Morgan Fox: 5
Struggled in his first game for the club, which was hardly surprising given his lack of match action and the fact that the left-sided Morgan was playing on the right of the also left-sided Gubbins.
Kenneth Paal: 5
Easily bypassed down the left for two of Watford’s goals.
Andre Dozzell: 4
Was largely an anonymous figure in midfield.
Sam Field: 5
Battled hard as Watford dominated in the midfield engine room but he was often dragged out of position while trying to stem the flow.
Paul Smyth: 5
Offered little on his second debut for the club after rejoining from Leyton Orient.
Ilias Chair: 5
Looked lost out on the left wing and saw very little of the ball.
Charlie Kelman: 5
Hooked at half-time after he struggled to make an impact in attack.
Lyndon Dykes: 5
Won some headers, but had no service. Should have scored in injury time.
Sinclair Armstrong: 6
Had a real go when he came on, and could have scored.
Stephen Duke-McKenna: 6
Showed some enthusiasm when he came on in midfield.

When players are replaced or even discarded, they need replacing with better ones.

For once, these scores are far too high, probably to help save face. What a shower, set up all wrong from the start, poor dears.
