Why couldn't we have played like that in first half? Kean has to stop picking Petrovic.

It just shows how important experience is. Our three most important players in that second half were Dunn, Pedersen and Robinson. I'd put Hanley in there too to be fair, he was immense. I hope Dann is ashamed that he needs a 20 year alongside him to carry him through games - hopefully Givet can take his place for the remainder of the season. Fair play to Orr, he was excellent in the second half (not just the cross).

If ever the old cliché "a game of two halves" was applicable, it was here.

Still convinced we're going down... The only two teams worse than Rovers are the two teams below us on the table

Got out of jail after that first half performance but deserved the point after second half performance - whether that will prove enough is another issue.

Robbo superb, Hanley excellent and a Dunny cameo.

Frightening thing is that Kean got it so badly wrong in first half.

Decent point. Didn't really gain anything but didn't lose any ground either. Very poor result for QPR again considering their run in, shocking result for wigan, Bolton got an expected loss. Good day for Wolves.

We need WINS ffs!! <_<

Why so poor in first half? why cant we make progress when sides around us drop points?....ominous signs.

We bumble on.

The reason we are down there is because we can't get wins and take advantage of other sides results.

Why? Because we don't have enough quality (on and off the pitch).

Robbo was amazing and the extra training with Nzonzi is really paying off he looks world class. Tough decision for the manager with givet and lowe returning do you drop Hanley?

Really frustrating because why didnt we play like this in the first half?

Bad move to start Petrovic and Formica. No pace between them at all.

Pace wasn't the problem. Pedersen and Dunn took their roles in the second half and neither of them have pace.

Still not sure about Marcus Olsson. He's quick and has a reasonable touch but he rarely threatens to have any end product, and he's not up to speed with decision making at the moment. Having said that, his pace alone stretched Villa a bit.

Why is it a tough decision? Drop Dann and Petrovic, both are horrendously bad.

To be fair, considering where he's come from, he's doing OK.

He already looks better than Petrovic who's had months to adjust.

I'd hope our Central defence is Hanley and Givet from now on
