    Hi,

    Hoping you would take the time to complete a questionnaire on behalf of www.westbrom.com - I'm a moderator on there and we run a weekly version of this and later on this week, once I've received enough replies, I shall create a finished article which will be displayed in this topic later this week.

    1. What have you made of your start to the season so far?

    2. What are your opinions on our start to the season so far?

    3. Tony Fernandez and Mark Hughes have spent money over the summer, were you happy with your transfer business?

    4. What have you made of the Tony Fernandes impact at Loftus Road? Do you fear for your future in any way?

    5. What are you expecting from QPR this season and where do you think you shall finish?

    6. What are you expecting from WBA for the remainder of the season and where do you think we shall finish?

    7. What are your opinions of WBA as a club and it's supporters? Positive or negative, don't be afraid :grin:

    8. Played we should fear in your side, and player you fear in ours?

    9. Team Mark Hughes is likely to put out?

    10. And finally, score predictions.

    If you could also point me in the way of a few QPR football forums I'll be most grateful. I've found one and just waiting to be accepted (qprdot.org).

    Enjoy your journey to the Hawthorns, and again, thank you.

    1. What have you made of your start to the season so far?

    Very poor, clearly, but nowhere near as bad as most on here will probably reply. Hughes got it badly, badly wrong against West Ham and Swansea and the team was disjointed and clearly nowhere near 'gelled' at Norwich but the City and Chelsea games were encouraging and we played Spurs off the park and I'm still not quite sure how we managed to lose it. Overall though, not good enough but I'm still positive.

    2. What are your opinions on our start to the season so far?

    Excellent. Goals up front, solid enough at the back- a simple enough formula. I fancied you to be in the relegation mix but Clarke has done very well and built on the good job Hodgson did.

    3. Tony Fernandez and Mark Hughes have spent money over the summer, were you happy with your transfer business?

    Yes, in general. It will take time for the group to play to the best of its ability but most of them will prove to be good signings in my opinion, even if for now it's not looking good.

    4. What have you made of the Tony Fernandes impact at Loftus Road? Do you fear for your future in any way?

    He's been brilliant. We couldn't have asked for any more from him so far. Of course there's always a fear as with most clubs that if the money men just walk away we are ****ed but my honest opinion is that they are in it for the long haul.

    5. What are you expecting from QPR this season and where do you think you shall finish?

    I'm expecting the team to improve as the season goes along. You can see at times that there's the making of an excellent side but we just haven't put it together for 90 minutes yet and have been defending incredibly naively. I reckon we'll finish 14th.

    6. What are you expecting from WBA for the remainder of the season and where do you think we shall finish?
    A solid home record and a few points on the road with an eventual finish of around 11th.

    7. What are your opinions of WBA as a club and it's supporters? Positive or negative, don't be afraid

    Never had a problem myself. The club seems well run and the team is one of the more likeable in the division. I'm no lover of the Midlands but the supporters seem a sound bunch compared to Wolves, Villa and Birmingham.

    8. Played we should fear in your side, and player you fear in ours?

    If Taarabt plays and he's on his game, he's superb. Hoilett will cause any team problems too on his day. Long is the big threat imo as our centre-halves just seem unable to cope with any half-decent centre forward right now.

    9. Team Mark Hughes is likely to put out?

    Hopefully a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 of whichever defenders are fit, Faurlin, Granero and Park in the middle with Taarabt and Hoilett wide of Zamora.

    More likely a 4-4-1-1 with Wright-Phillips and Park wide and Hoilett off of Zamora.

    10. And finally, score predictions.

    2-0 home win.

    Hi,

    Hoping you would take the time to complete a questionnaire on behalf of www.westbrom.com - I'm a moderator on there and we run a weekly version of this and later on this week, once I've received enough replies, I shall create a finished article which will be displayed in this topic later this week.

    1. What have you made of your start to the season so far? Looking like when we click we can beat anyone in the league

    2. What are your opinions on our start to the season so far? Very Good, excellent but sense the bubble is about to burst

    3. Tony Fernandez and Mark Hughes have spent money over the summer, were you happy with your transfer business? Yes we have one of the best squads in the league now

    4. What have you made of the Tony Fernandes impact at Loftus Road? Do you fear for your future in any way? Nothing short of fantastic I fear nothing and we will be a major force in the league within 2 years with or without our current team or manager

    5. What are you expecting from QPR this season and where do you think you shall finish? above WBA I think about 7th

    6. What are you expecting from WBA for the remainder of the season and where do you think we shall finish? I think you may be in a fight at the bottom as I can't see you sustaining this form but you will get out of it with a few weeks to go and finish 14th

    7. What are your opinions of WBA as a club and it's supporters? Positive or negative, don't be afraid . I like WBA a lot and they are my favourite midland's club but I am not keen on the area as spent a load of time fishing against lads from there and over 30 years have never found a character that has any individualism. Of course not all WBA supporters live in the area and therefore credit must go to them.

    8. Played we should fear in your side, and player you fear in ours? Adel Taarabt on form is unplayable and our midfield is very strong. I fear Lukaku

    9. Team Mark Hughes is likely to put out? Its secret

    10. And finally, score predictions. Oh lord QPR are hurting and i think after this weekend we may put pressure on other teams 3-0 Rangers

    If you could also point me in the way of a few QPR football forums I'll be most grateful. I've found one and just waiting to be accepted (qprdot.org).

    Enjoy your journey to the Hawthorns, and again, thank you.

    Like your 8th place prediction last season?

    Half of me is desperate to embrace the madness and join you in your trip to acid-flashback-city, the other half thinks I should call Social Services in Brighton and have you sectioned....

    1. What have you made of your start to the season so far?

    Frustrating would be the best word to describe it. Like when I boil the kettle and realise I've run out of Yorkshire Gold teabags.

    2. What are your opinions on our start to the season so far?

    In all honesty, I haven't taken much notice of it at all. But I hear you're playing quite well.

    3. Tony Fernandez and Mark Hughes have spent money over the summer, were you happy with your transfer business?

    In the main, yes. Although another striker would have been a decent idea.

    4. What have you made of the Tony Fernandes impact at Loftus Road? Do you fear for your future in any way?

    At first he was a breath of fresh air for me. Slowly getting irritated by his over use of Twitter and his 'super open, friendly and approachable kinda guy' thing. But overall he's had a positive impact and seems like a decent guy. No real fears for the future from me.

    5. What are you expecting from QPR this season and where do you think you shall finish?

    Before a ball was kicked, around 9th/10th place. After this start I think 12th/14th seems more realistic.

    6. What are you expecting from WBA for the remainder of the season and where do you think we shall finish?

    Again, I don't expect anything as I'm really not concerned about WBA. I'll take a pop at 2nd, behind Man City.

    7. What are your opinions of WBA as a club and it's supporters? Positive or negative, don't be afraid

    Seems like a decent club, I have very little knowledge of it. I liked our meetings in the Championship though and from what I could gather at the matches, the fans were good.

    8. Played we should fear in your side, and player you fear in ours?

    Taarabt if he plays. SWP's pinpoint crosses. Zamora's electric pace over the first half yard.

    9. Team Mark Hughes is likely to put out?

    Cesar, Onuoha, M'Bia, Nelsen, Hill, Taarabt, Granero, Faurlin, Park, Cisse, Zamora.

    10. And finally, score predictions.

    I'll go for an optimistic 2-1 defeat.
