Lacking ideas, shape, commitment or a plan, QPR lose limply at West Ham - report Monday, 6th Oct 2014 22:49 by Clive Whittingham QPR's latest limp-wristed, under-committed, unprofessional, shambolic away defeat came at West Ham on Sunday, and must surely leave manager Harry Redknapp's future in doubt. A chill October wind, and first crisis of the season at QPR, sure signs of a long winter ahead. Rangers have already run a full gambit of emotions less than two months into the season. Optimism from an eye-catching summer recruitment drive, relief and reassurance from a home win against Sunderland, anger and worry from meek surrenders on the road, concern that an improved performance at Southampton still brought a 2-1 defeat that could have been more severe... And then, at West Ham on Sunday, a familiar despair. QPR held 52% of the possession against the Hammers, had as many shots on target as the hosts and a further ten off. That absolutely amazes me because from where I was sitting â admittedly in a £45 seat that was below pitch level and offered an earth-worm's eye view of proceedings â they looked pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. For chairman Tony Fernandes, a West Ham fan who could have been perched in the Upton Park director's box in very different circumstances had a cheeky bid for his boyhood club succeeded before he bought QPR instead, this must be mind-blowingly frustrating. In fact, there's no 'must be' about it, a quick glance at the Malaysian's Twitter feed today tells you everything you need to know. QPR spend more money on wages and transfer fees, and buy more players, than the likes of Swansea, West Brom, West Ham, Sunderland, Stoke and others in the Premier League they presumably see themselves competing against and eventually overtaking. And yet those clubs consistently outperform Rangers in every department, particularly on the field of play. How and why is something Fernandes assured supporters they'd got to grips with last time they were in this league, when QPR finished dead last with just four victories all season. "Lessons learnt, never again" was the rhetoric, and the age, ability and quality of the summer signings suggested this was more than just words. Performances like this, and the chairmanâs comments afterwards, show that they still havenât got the foggiest idea what theyâre doing. . . .

Clive's report and the attached photos of our demoralized & disinterested coaching staff completely sums us up - sitting next to Tony I cannot imagine what words of encouragement Sir Les could have possibly offered to him - must have been quite awkward, likely why he's absent from the other shots of just Tony & Baird. Swords - I would strongly suggest that you read this report cover to cover, plus the comments.
Lol, I love it when the Clive report thread is posted on here. I don't usually read it, I just click on it to see Swords post about it which is always very amusing!
QPR_ARG added 02:49 - Oct 7 Forgot to mention this last week. I was watching Southampton-QPR for the second time (yes! I have a very big huevos!) because I wanted to see just how bad Sandro's injury was. Anyway...after I see him rolling around for a while, the camera cuts to Harry's face. He's there. Legs and arms crossed. He's staring at the player saying nothing. No expression. No nothing. Until, a little while later -like a full 2 minutes after Sandro's knock- he asks the man sitting next to him: "That's Sandro?". The man just nods. And Harry says something like "Fcukin'ell" or a similar one. From the touchline. A straight line to were the player was. A player he has worked with in the past. The only bald player we had on the pitch at the moment. Falling in an area of the pitch where he normally plays. And he can't tell who that is. Or give a fcuk about what happened to him. I have never wanted him to run my favourite football team in the world. Now I just simply hate his guts. This post below the OP is a bit worrying. But then the poster doesn't know who the bloke HR is sitting next to makes it more worryinger. Have you got through it yet Sword's? I'm waiting with baited breath for you're input?
Sandro rolling around ... After catching up on the games was the highlight comedy moment ... I honestly couldn't stop laughing at that point In my life I have never seen anyone who took a knock to the head roll about ... It's theatre and impossible as it requires thought to do so I hope the club fine him Every seen hard players play act ? Sandro so far looks a pussy IMO but I hope he gets his **** together What makes me sick is the price of Sandro to what we are asking for Taarabt ... I will never forgive the club for that
We're obviously asking for too much because nobody will pay it. Taarabt a few days ago: "Milan and QPR couldn't agree on a price. But their price tag is crazy"
I didnt realize how **** this report was until i read it whilst watching the game Absolute garbage I hope Clive takes his head out of his arse and does what not saying we are any good, but if yoiu are going o critcise than at least get your facts right Done himself no favours or chance of getting his supporter badge with this one Terrible terrible report
Report is right. If the Board had any guts and knew anything about football, they would have moved Redknap and his cronies out months ago. They appear as clueless as the Management are disinterested. The performances on the pitch just mirror this. Time for new direction at all levels, but what can a great CF who has not shown any sign of directive talents in football since he stopped playing, achieve with our chaos.
bollox..i have the luxury of having taped this game Now you are at home, not pissed and trying to squint over 1200 people..try watching it again.. We were not great but the report is **** ! Obviously done by some over zelous village idiot who travelled to the game, had a few beers and didnt get the result WE all wanted !
