Match Day Thread Norwich v QPR

Sounds like a game plan.
I'd love to place a bet on this happening but my odds would probably be equal money.

The team performance overall has been bad enough but Ollie would have to have been the biggest disappointment of the season.
I really expected better.

 

I feel you sentiment. But I don't think I could take another manager change. I might go insane. I think we all badly wanted Ollie to be the one that we'd stick with, improve and then only change later on simply because we want to progress even higher, rather than be forced into a change.

With that said, it's not impossible that he'll turn things around over the Summer and fix us into a much more efficient team. I'm not expecting to win the league, of course. But I mean turn us into a competitive side who can provide some great moments.

 

I'd be happy finishing top 8 every season and just missing out on the play offs rather than the dreadful season we have had this year. I think in the last 5 years our win %age is something like 22%.
I'm afraid that in order to improve we will have to invest in a few expierenced players, as this league is only going to get harder as team get Wealthier owners and spend more. We will need to compete with these teams which will mean the wage bill will have to go up, won't it ?

 

A) that's a pretty damning indictment of Les who is meant to be the strategist behind all this
B) would you really want Ollie to have those two windows (I assume he means summer windows) and leave us in better shape?

Anyway, I'm about to feel much much better as going into a meeting where I have licence to act in full Malcolm Tucker mode given the serial failure of several of the other participants. Really looking forward to taking out my QPR related agnst on innocent civilians, especially Americans who have no idea what QPR is.

 

Damn it ! In that case I hope our intrepid scouting network is busy at work at the forthcoming FIFA U20's World Cup - we should pick up some 'rough diamonds' like Bristol C and Forest did with Assombalonga and Abraham.

 

It's got to happen.

 

I completely understand why Ollie is getting pelters and whilst I do not want to defend him or his tactics (?) I honestly think under JFH we would have fallen through the trap door this season. I am on record as saying that, for me Ollie and Birch were my dream team. Well that dream has ALMOST turned into a nightmare. With JFH at the helm, the nightmare would've become reality.

Bring on next season, whatever next season brings!

U Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs!!!

 

Yes, you are right Hoops but having weathered that early form we at least looked in it briefly (albeit very briefly!)

 

I'm guessing you mean the posters Hoops Eternal and The Ball goes wide to Dave Thomas, rather than their 70s footballing namesakes?

 

We lost 50% of our league games, that really is unacceptable. I was listening to various newspaper columnists on the radio today discussing Blackburn and there are similarities in how they've spunked £200 million to drop two divisions since Venky's took over, we've topped that with £250 million and we were looking down the trapdoor that claimed Blackburn yesterday.

The common theme is owners who just haven't a clue and TF is close to emulating the Venky's if Ollie doesn't sort us out, next season will make or break us as I can't see another managerial change bringing anything more than more dross for the paying customers...

 

Agree Manning, and probably Luke Freeman.

 

One out of two there Tooting.

Unless Dave Thomas of AKUTR's fame is your second poster! I've posted on here for a few years now but have not come across The Ball goes wide to Dave Thomas.

 

Exactly how I saw it, worrying times ahead.

 

And to rub it in...



A notable double for Ollie...

 

I meant the other DT, Terry, he seems to have dropped off the radar lately

 

He won't have the luxury of such time, nor does he deserve it.
He's just trying to buy time to cover for his proposed stuff ups!

I think l hear the bottle shop opening its doors for the day ............
