There is not a lot we can do as to what goes on behind the scenes. On here, we can speculate and analyse everything as much as we like.. It don't matter ****. What we can do however, is get our arses down to Loftus Rd or away. And sing , cheer and give it our all. If we don't get the results in the next few games, let's not boo or barrack them. We are so much better than that. Let's judge all our efforts at the end of the season, please let us not become a Blackburn, we are so much more than that. Whatever will be will be, let's support the 'R'sss unconditionally. We are a special team, we are different...from the rest, WE ARE QPR!!!!
Yep. Let's just cheer no matter what happens on stage. The opponents get a penalty. Cheer. They score. Cheer. They win the game. Cheer. Warnock brings Hulse back into the squad. Cheer. We drop into the relegation zone. Cheer. We get relegated. Cheer... Come on Nines. Fans are the temperature gauge no club can ignore. If we cheer rubbish, we'll perpetuate rubbish.
I don't recall anyone booing the team at any stage this season. In fact our support has been fantastic considering our poor home record so far. You need to avoid linking a healthy debate on forums such as this with disloyalty as many do.
I don't think his post said anything like that. Nobody's saying "cheer rubbish" as far as I can tell. I think the danger entering our next run of games, is that with a lot of the team low on confidence, jeering what you see as rubbish will perpetuate rubbish, and maybe lead to an irreversible downward spiral. And, just to be clear, I am in no way linking this to concepts of loyalty and disloyalty as per QPAAAAGH's post.
I think the point Brix is making is that this is a forum designed for opinions and debate. Also, I agree with him that we shouldn't just smile and say "we're in the Premier league, so let's just enjoy it no matter what". Do that and we'll walk, blind folded, straight back into the Championship.
A good many on here, including myself, were cheering the R's in the 60s when it all really took off for us, the 70s when we very nearly made it as Champions then were relegated, the 80s when we bounced back reaching two cup finals, the 90s when we were London's top team then relegation and the decline to start the 00s in administration and the third level without a pot to piss in. The 10s have started with us surviving the Goons and back in the big-time and I'll still be cheering us come what may. Ask yourselves, last season we were Champions with complete arseholes running the club and willing to ruin all the good work done by Warnock to get every penny of profit they could out of OUR club. This season we could end up being relegated but with owners who appear to be willing to take that hit to eventually get things right at this club. Which would you rather have? I'll be cheering us on wherever we are, it's unconditional...
I think the point is that we have media such as not 606 to vent frustrations. If anger is overwhelming then let TF know via Twitter. TF is backing NW and so any disappointment should be aimed at him (to the point where you feel like your voice is not being heard and then you have no choice but to air views very publicly). In the above situation, we do have to back NW as far as reasonable (he's staying for a while yet) and, furthermore, trust his judgement. He does this sometimes more subtly than given credit - having a go at some (eg Traore), protecting others, keeping morale (not publicly executing players despite a mauling). He changed things at half time against Spurs and effectively adopted 442 for a while. During this, Taarabt came back into a bit of form and is being phased back in. Trust him, he's not as blinded by passion as many think. He can still get it wrong mind. Use matches as a chance to show our players our true support is with them and try to lift them when things aren't going well, when they concede - we'll get it right eventually. In the meantime, show the players that they're not to be crucified for one mistake (until post match discussions anyway). Show the manager that he can do what he believes to be in the best interests of the club without having to excessively nod to our expectations (he'll be judged on his performances anyway). Show the owners that we're worth as much investment as they can possibly throw in and, lastly, show the world how special Rs fans are. I think that was 999s excellent point anyway....
