Evening All I havent posted on here for quite a while.....mainly due to the fact that ive been trying to avoid most things QPR, as this season for me has been pure torture. I really cant say that ive enjoyed a single game this season, or even last season for that matter.....the few wins we have amassed really have been far too tarnished but the constant losses and we never win comfortably. As QPR fans, we really should be living the dream with owners that have far deeper pockets than most and a passion and connection with the fans that only other clubs can dream of. Unfortunetley it seems like for us as QPR fans, we have won the lottery, yet every thing we buy with our new amassed fortune turns into a steaming pile of crap....I actually get the feeling that during the debut in a newly built stadium it would collaspe beneath our feet. For me without a question of a doubt QPR will be playing in the Championship next season....a 7 point gap is huge at this stage and equates to nearly half the points we have got so far this season and thats without the other teams picking up points. The team above Wigan (Southampton) are a humoungous 10 points and are well beyond and kind of claw back...BUT the real reason we are guranteed to go down, is that we are simply rubbish....the very basics of Football such as movement....passing.....talking to each other....running into dangerous areas.....supporting each other when going forward all are non-existant and I trully believe that we would be a midtable Championship side and even struggle with some league 1 outfits. (Mk Dons proved this). Im not giving up as im sure DT will come along and say.....I will still attend and still support my team, im just very aware that these bunch of misfits will finish on about 22 points, which is calculated using our amazing 0.6 points per game ratio and no-one can convince me otherwise. QPRs best chance of being successful in the Premier league is that next season we can ship out most of the crap and build a decent hard working squad that play great football like Swansea and then become successfull in the Premier League in a couple of years....im sure Harry wont stick about (probably end up at West Ham) but a good manager to bring in good hard working players. (lesson learned by TF and co.) Just use our money to buy the good players in the Championship.....players that we should have bought when we came up like Snodgrass etc. Such a shame to see the most amazing oppourtunity dissapear in front of your very eyes.
We will do this....just not this season....a set back in the Championship and come back stronger and better.....I HOPE!
Frank, you need a hug buddy. I know how you feel, it's gutting, all the promise and potential and we are rock bottom and don't look like scoring a goal. I'm surprised, because I thought this group of players would be better than this. Apart from Swansea (twice), no team has taken us to the cleaners this season. It's certainly not over, my friend, because you don't have a dramatic ending unless its at the end. Maybe, just maybe we'll be talking about the greatest of great escapes over the summer.
No-one has taken us to the cleaners, becuase Harry has done a fantastic job in solidifying the defence......as well as some amazing saves by Cesar....but to win games you have to score goals and this current bunch cant, simply because they dont have the ability. Man Utd were quite poor yesterday by their standards....and they looked leagues above us going forward. If we had a team that was capable of the fight, then I would agree with a possible great escape, but I just cant see it with QPR this season....im not a negaitive person by nature, but you have to look at things with a degree of realism and admit when your team just isnt good enough. For 7 months or half a year of football we have won twice.....TWICE and now we have to win 6 or 7.....cant see it...can you? Hand on Heart?
In truth mate, no I can't, and I'm not a negative person either, but I'm not one to throw in the towel and I hope above all else that the players aren't either. If we could wipe this season out and start again with Arry in charge, I think it could be a whole lot different, but instead, we're on the back foot all the time.
As a fan you dont have to throw in the towel as apart from attending and supporting, but you can accept your teams fate and get on with it. Im just soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick of watching other teams supporters celebrate at Loftus Road.....even friggin MK Dons fans got to cheer and party because of us, that I just want the summer to start and this season from Hell finished.
Whatever is said, the very simple reason why we don't score is that as a team we don't attack. Our players with the exception of Taarabt are reluctant to have a go. Before anyone kicks off at this, I recognise immediately that Taarabt's strike rate is very poor. But watching highlights of every team in the PL shows that when they attack there are always at least 4 men making runs into the box. What I fail to understand is why neither of our esteemed managers or their support teams have managed to sort out that attitude? With Hughes we could not defend either. However so far as I can see, Harry has instilled in our players only a sense that whenever we lose the ball all 11 must retreat in order to defend and then when we get it back, we have to attack with an eye open for the moment we lose possession
its all very well saying we need to attack more,but with the likes of Clint Hill,Mackie,Derry,Mbia,etc..they just dont have the pace,skill or confidence to make it happen. We have one or two talented players,but the rest are pants
Exactly.....we look at dangerous as a knife made of butter and that puely down to the lack of midelfields ability to A) Pass and B) create any space for each other. I really cant understand how a pro footballer in the premierleague cant complete a pass and yet are whole team is full of players like that!
