Yes of course. But my point is that the squad have shown they are good enough to stay at this level this season, given decent Management, Coaching, TraIning, Belief in themselves etc.etc. but while all thiat was good enough for those 3 months something has happened to make it not good enough now.

What has happened with Freeman for example, won that last game against Leeds almost by himself, but has been very average in the last few games, and heard he was badly at fault for 2 of the 7 fingers goals yesterday.

An unpopular view I know, but I'd prefer it if the owners took another huge gamble and tried to buy the league next season (if we stay up). Not with has-beens like before though.
If league 1 is almost inevitable, I'd rather we went for it.

It’s the only way we have a slim chance of enjoying watching QPR for the rest of our lives mate. Foolish, doomed to fail, an act of potential self harm, but I’m in.

We need a complete new squad, none of this lot are salvageable. Let’s just buy the Wolves one, and their manager.

I too don't buy this explanation that the players simply aren't good enough. They are good enough to keep us well above the trap door and turn it on occasionally in sustained bursts. The failure lies in repeated changes at the helm and managers whose tactics and motivational skills are not up to the task of tweaking maximum performance out of the players he has got. Like all sport, confidence is critical as well as simple straightforward tactics. Lose one or both and you are going to undo any progress you make. Maclaren has a history of getting it wrong and then looking like a lost chicken or rabbit in the headlights when it doesn't work. That is why he has failed everywhere since his first job with Middlesbrough where I believe he would have failed too once he hit a rocky patch if England had not come a-calling before then.

It was nice while it lasted but the owners (and the fans as well it has to be said) are guilty of yo-yoing and kidding themselves that everything was fine because we had a good two months. We have no money, a transfer embargo and a wage bill which is frankly ludicrous for this League. That is why, for the next two years or so, we needed to stick with what progress we had made last season and work on that slowly

But McClaren did do well in Holland.

Two season tickets? That thought had occurred to me (my son and I both go) but we would need an exciting managerial appointment for me to watch League One football again.

Not relegated yet & won’t be hopefully Rodney

I sincerely hope not. My son thought I was being disloyal but I simply couldn't resist the silly odds of 50-1 against us being relegated. I think it's much tougher than that, possibly as close as 50/50 (i.e. evens). I see it like an insurance policy: if we do get relegated, I shall be both sad and angry but a little windfall might ease the pain a little. One thing's for sure: something's got to change between now and the end of the season: if we carry on at the rate we've been going so far in 2019, we will be relegated because I can certainly see Rotherham getting a few more points.

Our recruitment has been absymal since Flav & Bernie left, why would we think spunking another £100 million on assorted turkeys would be successful even if they could cook the books to avoid FFP, they are serial half-wits...

Spot on. Sell the ground to a company owned by the owners when the owners already own the ground and we risk being hit so hard for FFP we will never recover. I read somewhere a few days ago that we were already at risk of another FFP fine. There is no way any clever wheeler dealing especially backed up by TF's gambit of threatening the League with expensive legal eagles will work unless he runs it by the League first. Trouble then is that the League is highly unlikely to sanction such a transparent work around solution to our massive debt.

It looks like cold turkey to me not more assorted turkeys who were premium a few years ago.

It's thoroughly depressing but Clive does have away with words & really able to sum up how sh!te we really are, they should make the players read it maybe help give some the kick up the ass they deserve, but then again as Clive says they're probably could give a f**k as long as picking up the money.

In his excellent report, Clive dismantles Eustace and his efforts, suggesting that we would be better off with Bircham until the end of the season. Sounds like a cunning plan to me. In a good way.

What he doesn't explain is how players that were moving well up the table earlier in the season, suddenly become donkeys. I don't buy that Cameron is past it, when he played so well earlier on. Properly managed, trained, motivated, we're a mid table team at least.

We can go on blaming (admittedly inadequate) managers as long as the sun shines. But there is something rotten in the state of Denmark. This club destroys careers.

Fernandes can’t keep planes in the sky. It’s unbelievable he’s had such success.

I admit that I don’t know what happened. I am not sure that many really do.

This was a one match report.
