Utterly embarrassing performance today

Must've been some HT team talk to go from drawing 1-1 to being destroyed 6-0 in the second half

Selling Smithies could well prove to have been a catastrophic mistake - even the average Premier League defence would feel nervous playing in front of Ingram

Some bizarre substitutions today and further affirmation that we will be heading down unless we bring in some goal scoring strikers

Bit of a reversal from our last visit!

No one supports the Rangers for the glory, we are all a bunch of aging masochists who were feted to be born/brought up/affiliated to a Bermuda Triangle of hope in west London

I don't know, sometimes on days like this after a 7-1 caning at the hands of the opposition over whom we gloat from our 51 year zenith, i question my sanity

As my lad says frequently 'but why QPR dad, they make you miserable. A lot'

Somehow in my rapidly aging brain, i hypothesized and I really thought S&M would bring some tactical nous and cunning intricate counter attacking footy.

But then i am, like Stan a hopeless romantic where QPR are concerned and I always forget the 1st Rule of Rangers Club - expect nothing

Rule 2- expect less than nothing

We battle on mostly in a downward trajectory

Thank you secret chelsea agent Fernandes, mission accomplished

Come on, just the beginning of the season, we could still be playing in the Champions League in 2020/21. Or the White Van Trophy.

You really don't like Ferdinand do you?

He can't pull players out of a hat if there's no cash

I’m not a fan of any DOF role, they don’t seem to take responsibility or accountability for anything. I haven’t seen anything positive since SLF has been in place. He has no experience in that role and I believe his appointment was based on heart over head. He should have a Sinton style role in the club. I’m assuming he takes a salary which could be spent on players. All in my opinion and I know that counts for nothing and many would disagree with me.

Serious answer, Hair Island, but it’s on character grounds rather than any belief that he will do any better in this league than Colin, in fact he probably won’t, Warnock is very good at getting results at this level. I’ve no idea what kind of person McClaren is, but 90 minutes sitting within earshot of Warnock during a game have given me an enduring dislike of the obnoxious twat.

At least he’d be our obnoxious twat.

Just subjected myself to the Sky highlights - what a mess. Our players were playing terrible balls; missing players and not closing down - just a total capitulation. The highlights were bad enough - what hell it must have been for the faithful away fans. What a $hit start to the weekend :emoticon-0101-sadsm - off to find a liquid memory cleanser!!

Reading through this thread, it seems we played well first half and held our own.
What the **** happened in the 2nd half?



I thought that when I saw the team. Should never start with Smith imo.

Game of two halves
WBA very good anyway but I seriously thought we looked robust but I am always wrong re our team
Second half they came out to pmay for a manager that does care and love the club
We played like lambs for a manager who should of tightened things up at 3
He looked like we have seen him before
Clueless and a failure

I was lucky enough to be lost in Paris today and oblivious to what was going on. Not that surprised to see this result though, we had been giving the ball away far too much in dangerous areas against 2 teams probably not as good as West Brom.

Me too.
It's the youngest lad's Birthday (can't quite believe he's 19!!) and we're off to our excellent local Indian restaurant.
No doubt Rangers will be the hot topic till we've drunk enough to forget.

Good call. I was offered a ticket for today by a Baggies fan mate. Turned him down on the grounds that I didn’t want to sit with the home fans and it would involve drink, probably not getting home until midnight, and I have to be up at 4.30 tomorrow to drive to Heathrow. Close call, but I’m going to have a few drinks anyway. One word text from my Baggies mate ‘dire’. I think he was referring to QPR somehow.

Bet Angle Wrangle is wishing he had a 5 day contract now.

Work trip or vacation?

I'm back in the uk in a week or so, first time for 3 years

Was planning on seeing us at LR......

Just shows how far we are away from competing in the top half of this league. I would say at least half a team away! In my opinion any team who starts Smith up front is always going to struggle.

Been doing a few walls in France with the stuff bloody good gear?

The manager deserves some stick - we’re all in it together ... but quite honestly no team of professional footballers should collapse and let on six goals IN ONE HALF of football regardless of who the manager is and what he says.
Did he really tell them at half time to throw the opposition of our scent by including a number of sloppy passes and kicks; confuse them a couple of times by tackling each other; to sit off players so they wonder what to do with the space they’re given. Far too easy just to say SM is all at fault here. But he has to stand up and sort it out - however tough the challenge is.
All ****ing unacceptable. And get rid of the pink shirts... they’re full of bad luck!!!

Work, and two more work trips before holiday in October. 3 years? That’s a long time, especially from somewhere relatively close like Qatar. I did four years away once way back in the eighties, the last year was coming home the slow way. Quite odd arriving home.

There are a few extenuating factors for my prolonged absence but yes i am sure there are another 5 Lidl supermarkets in the greater sheffield / chesterfield conurbation

Looking forward to it, even seeing us play in person
