    A little positivity to spread our way with a win at Wigan?

    Lets hope so I think it's still very much there for the taking

    Come on lads you know it makes sense<ok>

    We can and we will win.

    How many "must win" games have we gone through now and failed to win any of them! So here we go again: This is a MUST win.

    Its possible. They aren't a bad little side Wigan and they prove that year on year by defying the bookies and staying up. But if we go at them with a positive attitude like we did against Villa then we can get our first win on the board.

    We don't want to break Swindon's record now do we!

    By the law of averages, we are due a win. Even if the ball bounces off of someone's arse and falls into the net for the winner, we could be no less deserving. I have run out of ' we must win this one' games. I lost all faith walking out of HQ after the Villa game. I have felt this way since playing West Ham. Our team seems to be cursed with a terminal illness that is so fragmented that they can't and don't know how to win a game of football. In previous seasons ( The last 14 or so. ) I have held an inner belief that we could do it and I always remained positive. I don't get that feeling this season. In my lifelong QPR supporting career, this is honestly the first time I have felt this way.

    Having said all that, I still hope that one fine day everything will click and every player will perform to their potential. I hope that our Harry can tap into the primal instinct of the players and make them realise why they wanted to play football in the first place. To enjoy it and win.

    The first win may come on Saturday. If we do, and go on a little run in the next few game it would be a nice Xmas bonus.

    URsssssss

    I remember you last season Nines - particularly after the 2-1 loss at Bolton - saying that you still thought we'd do it. I thought you had gone barmy! After that game and Hill's "ghost goal" etc I figured we were doomed. But you kept on believing and we stayed up!

    This year you don't think so. I'm saddened by that because with your track record of positivity, it means we really must be doomed.

    Just like we said we would beat them last season??...3 zip!. At the moment,I think they are a better team and have more potential to score. I dont think we are going to score even if they had no keeper in goal!

    You have the memory of an elephant swords.

    I did say that after the Bolton game swords, because I could still sense something about us at the time.

    I even mentioned to col that I felt something wasn't right as I watched the lads warm up on the pitch before the Swansea game. Everyone seemed to look for someone else to take responsibility and show some leadership. It didn't happen and hasn't since. We need just one player to show himself and become the ' Pack Leader. ' If Harry can get someone to do that I might be able to become my old self again.

    There in a nutshell is the difference between being at the game and watching it on TV.

    Your gut instinct is telling you that our players ain't got it in their hearts? Its fu*king tragic. When you see what the likes of Swansea and Norwich have done and Stoke, W Brom and Fulham before them yet we go and fu*k it all up makes me wanna puke. Norwich don't have anyone on over 20k per week and they've made F-all big name signings yet they're coasting in mid-table again this year.

    Hughes let us down so badly.

    I look at it this way - from the point I was starting to follow the Rs in the early nineties, past the point it was cemented by a certain Denis Bailey hatrick and the subsequent peaks and troughs, one thing is ringing out - we never do things easily.

    The simple goes badly wrong and the highly improbable throws up the craziest surprises.

    We may lose every game from here on in but we may just do something special. We may slide limply out the league but we might just have some memorable moments that bring that fleeting smile to our faces along the way.

    I'd rather have 6 months of dignified hope punctuated by twenty-odd days of disappointment than half a year of resigned self pity.

    I look at the club I started following all those years ago, I throw in all the legendary stuff that happened before that defining moment (both from reading and some fantastically vivid recollections from you guys). I look at the journey that has brought us to this point and you know what I feel? Pride.

    This is my club, my team and my memories, and it's evoked some wonderful emotions (both good and bad) throughout the years and I don't ever want that to change.

    The rest of the season won't change any of that, it will merely enhance it no matter what happens...

    (and I still think we'll stay up) :)

    This is what puzzles me.The general consensus is that you havn'y played badly,so there should have been one game where you really get the run of the ball,a dodgy pen (although you did get one of those at our place) Or at least the opposition having some bad luck,a goal disallowed when it was a yard over the line etc.It defies logic really.Any way good luck at the Pie Eaters,a tricky side to predict.

    Focus on the task not what other teams are doing . You have to seriously consider now what point is there is crying over what has come to pass... I can't understand what the point is ... We have new team and the majority of fans wanted a new team
    We have a new owner while some clubs can't afford to buy a Rob Hulse

    Damage if your house gets blown down or in your case you ladder your tights ... What do you do?
    Collapse in a heap and tip buckets of dog dirt over yourself to **** it all up completely

    I go again

    You big girls blouse ... Size 32 ?

    Fill your chest with air and take out those breast implants

    If not buy another 20 sets , stick them to your stomach and the doomed suck on your titties

    I think this game is must win for various reasons.

    1 - Wigan haven't been firing to well lately, so we must be a chance.
    2 - A win will ensure the 'power of Harry' continues to live on.................. a loss may very well render him to a mere mortal.

    A loss may extinguish any surge in confidence the team has built up, from Harry's arrival at the club.
    I know we keep saying it but we really need this win more than ever.
    It may save our season or break it, completely................... and please, not a f_ing draw. To me, that as good as a loss.

    There is more than hope, and think of the glory as we dig ourselves out of this hole, the look of stupefaction on the faces of supporters of other clubs as we claw our way above them, one by one, point by point. 15th.

    There is no such thing as a must win game until a single result guarantees relegation or survival.

    I can understand this obsessive examination of other teams' results and debates over what we want to happen elsewhere, it's all part of the entertainment. But it's not for me, I'd rather slaughter a few fowl and examine the entrails, just as accurate and useful. And at least you get a chicken dinner out of it.

    I think not, sadly. Very sadly indeed for us but more so for Tony Fernandes who will rue the day that he did not sack Mark Hughes much earlier.

    Thus far we have we have averaged 0.4 points per game. That alone is alarming enough for us to prepare for Championship Football next year. If the other 5 teams in the mini league simply maintain current form then we would have to average 1.5 points per hame to reach safety.

    I think that is unattainable.

    However, it does not allow for other clubs dipping in form. That is the only hope. That our fortunes change (significantly) and others dip.
