Lots of QPR fans have taken to Twitter to hit back after former defender Joel Lynch subtly labelled the club a 'mediocre' side.

Speaking to The Chronicle about his decision to join Sunderland this summer, the 31-year-old said: "I've always been at that sort of mediocre level - I've never been in the playoffs or been in a successful team so the challenge of coming here and being successful really appeals to me."

While his words may well have been said in an innocent fashion, it has caused a great deal of offence to a number of QPR supporters.

His comments seem to have sparked even more of a fierce reaction given how poorly the Wales international performed whilst with the R's.

Two fans below labelled Lynch as one of the worst defenders they have ever seen play for their club.

Back in August, meanwhile, another referenced his terrible ability when criticising centre-back Yoann Barbet this season - he was so bad, it seems as though his awful performances are being used as a benchmark in which to compare other below-par performers.

Let's take a look at some more of the Twitter reaction...
