Thats what we all wanted QPR people who cares for the shirt. Now we have that we now want a ready made super team that pisses the division. We had the finest inventive player of recent times ... a player that lights up any football match ... yet he was wrong
We had a proven goal scorer we sold him for 4m
We cleared out everyone
We had a absolute clown as a manager who didn’t even take training sessions and wanted to spend money we didn’t have
All backed by the vision of a poor businessman who wanted to build a new stadium on land owned by someone else He hadn’t even asked

Our team and club crippled by debt is a championship club at best thankfully for a lot of years. Cardiff for example,good side next year if they make it will need to spend £100m if they make promotion and possibly get in a new manager

So the story may even repeat itself

Maybe if the make it they can buy Fer from Swansea as they drop the other way

We need at least 3 more years re establishing this club with a mid table finish our aim . What we must do is treat the FA cup with respect and get a decent run going

Teams who do this go on to better things each and every time


You rant away on this and other threads, without bothering to listen to what others are saying.
Everyone I think agrees with what you've said here and most of us want a stable club in mid table till we've rebuilt.
OK? Have you absorbed this information?

What a lot of us are saying is that we don't want to end up in League 1 and that our current form, performances and tactics from the coach are driving us towards the relegation zone.
 
Very disappointing afternoon. Smitten with a dose of man flu and nearly decided not to go but double sox, walking boots, six layers and a hat and muffler did the trick nicely.
Entertaining first half with good application from QPR and a couple of near miss headers but overall, as shown by the stats, very little cutting edge.
Second half there was only one team in it until Pavel's fluke goal which at least shut the vociferous away fans up for a bit as they saw the flitting shadow of QPR v Brentford ghost its way pas their keeper. This briefly revitalised QPR but only until 3:1 put the game to bed for Leeds and not undeservedly in fairness.

Sometimes it can be hard to describe why a team is better than another. Probably a combination of individual skill, team awareness, confidence, flair etc. However you describe it, Leeds were the better side and much more so in the second half.

I would love, as an experiment, to give our squad to a top flight manager to see if he can get a better tune out of them than Olly. This would address Olly's competence or otherwise. Give that is not going to happen, I think Olly's days are numbered. I don't think they will want to give him the Jan window if things remain as they are.

On a personal note of confession, having stated I never leave games early, I did leave at 3:1 but I'm claiming man flu in mitigation. The Day Nurse was wearing off and I did not want to have to tolerate the jeering of the Leeds fans. Probably won't ever happen again!

I think we deserve more than we are being served at present. Unless Holloway can turn this around, we could well have a new man by Christmas.

Leaving before the end ?? What will Ollly and half the ‘I NEVER leave early’ mob say ?
Maybe you should not come back next game and leave it to the real fans who cheer the team on till the end, win or lose.

Footnote : I of course also left on their 3rd goal and this time it didn’t bite me in the arse.....oh well

Yes I have fully understood and think what fans are worrying about hasn’t occurred yet
I read every single word and the undertone of your posts are usually centred around concern ... including now snow FFS

Man up

I recommend the Power of Now ... it’s a book

No fan wants relegation and it hasn’t happened yet so fluffy posts about the dangers is what? anxiety imo ... the biggest obstacle of the human mind

I oppose that train of thought at every opportunity in life. No right or wrong just a different state of mind expressed on our little forum.

If you seriously look at the news and it’s tone and voice you maybe able to understand what is exactly happening to a softening everyday culture. If you are happy to absorb this then fine ... have a happy life but eventually that pattern needs investigation imo or you will spin endlessly in a world of worry

Lol, only jesting you mate ;).

To be honest, I was well wrapped up in long johns, multi layers, hat and snood so felt warmer than usual
Shame I forgot my gloves and extra pair of socks.....otherwise I might of stayed....but probably not :)
 
If we continue on this current form we will definitely be in the relegation mix come Feb, and those who can’t see that are simply deluded
We are desperately in need of a striker who can actually score goals, if I and many around me can see that, then I’m sure the club see that too.
The problem is finding one and more importantly affording one.....
 
The highlight of the game was the announcement on 40 mins that there was no alcohol being sold to the away supporters and the subsequent crowd songs. I do enjoy my days out at LR and collective despair, moaning and (very) occasional joy the match can bring.

I don’t think any of Holloway/Ferdinand/Hoos/Fernandes/the box office braindeads don’t want a striker but we live in a world where Assombalonga costs £15m and god knows what in wages. We are skint so the best we can hope for is to ship out the absolute dross (Yeni, Caulker) and get in Eze and any striker who costs a pittance. There was talk of Moult from Motherwell who I know nothing about.

We still have this Arbitration award hanging over us, which no one is saying much about except it went against us. You're right, we are skint, but It's impossible to gauge how skint we are. Fernandes may have accepted that relegation to Lower Leagues, while not desirable, may be an unwanted fact of life and may eventually get the Football League off our back

More personal attacks.
The post on snow was a general observation and it has indeed caused many people a fair bit of trouble.

"Man up"? WTF? I'll be out working in the snow tomorrow!

If you want to talk about mass panic and anxiety, then look no further than what you and many other remainers are peddling concerning brexit.

I know you're a WUM. You know you're a WUM. Simple as.

Anyway, knock yourself out, I won't see any more of your posts.
 
While I'm not ready to join the Holloway Out club just yet there are growing questions to be answered. Other than up-front where our strike-force is simply innocuous and not good enough for this level we have a good sprinkling of decent players. In midfield Luongo, Freeman and Scowen all continue to look pretty good individually but the last six opponents have all somehow managed to disrupt their link up play with some ease. At the back Robinson continues to look like a very decent prospect and for long stretches of matches he and his various partners plus Smithies have kept some of the best strikers in the division in check but, as we saw again yesterday, we are unable to cope when the opposition decide to really press for 10-15 minutes. And don't get me started again on our total inability to make the kind of fast break that all successful clubs in the modern era use as a key tactical weapon. It seems to me that all of these areas represent tactical rather than player based failings which the coaching staff seem unable to respond to.

I’ll do the same as it’s you that winds me up on here. Wrap up warm

Robinson did well generally again yesterday, but should have done better for their first 2 goals.

Sorry Ossie, but some form of responsibility for conceding two goals does not equate to ‘generally well’. I haven’t seen any of the game so can’t really draw any conclusions, and I like Robinson though we could really do with him at left wing back.

How did Ned and Hall do?

Otherwise well then would be more precise, he came off 2nd best to Roofe defending crosses for both goals. But he wasn't the only one at fault and did a lot of good work otherwise.

I thought Ned barely looked like he'd been away, a bit heavier and a little less quick perhaps understandably.He did OK first game back. Not as good as Robinson in playing the ball out of defence, but then he rarely was. Hall only got about 10 minutes, made a dangerous headed clearance to a 2nd Leeds attacker with possibly his first touch and looked rusty, unsurprisingly.

Thought we missed Baptiste's hard work blocking and tackling in the centre of our defense yesterday.

I don't buy into this the team has fight. Having fight counts for nothing, if you don't have a knockout punch you'll be the ones going down.
