    In fairness to Swords Hoopster, I know a few QPR fans and they all say the same. Why play Onouha out of position and play Dunne when you could have Caulker and Onouha in the centre? both of which are fairly rapid and good in the air. That's their general complaint. Then you have the Taraabt debacle. Just say he's a lazy twat and be done with it rather than overweight.

    Good times for us Jacks though <cheers>

    Ki also managed to spend more time in the attack with Britton holding down the fort with the defense aswandam . Our attack is more confident with Britton / Carroll on the pitch, especially Britton .Like Ive said , its no coincedence that are best game to date goes hand in hand with Britton first start

    I seriously hope not. The occasional long ball pays dividends but as soon as we start hoofball we go to pot.

    Shelvey is never going to be 100%, he doesn't have the brain for it. It's a question of does his occasional good play outweigh his screw ups.

    Please go ahead and fire your manager. Hire some other, much lesser retread, and spend a bazillion pounds in January on dead weight donuts like you did the last time you went down ..... and you'll be back down there again. At this point in time Harry's trying to extract the best value out of the players on hand. You're in the wrong league for the players you have - it's not his fault - nobody of real value wants to play for you, you're not fashionable any more (not since the days of Gerry Francis and Rodney Marsh). The majority of players are not up to scratch.

    When we got promoted we had a tried and true system that we stayed the course with. We were getting people like Tate and Gower to play way above their pay grade. Our system permitted us to do that.

    We were in a position like you when Sousa arrived - from you as it happened. We lost players that had contributed 40 goals in close season deals and started the season with a projected -23 goal difference. Sousa got the team playing defense tighter than a ducks rear end - not pretty or the most entertaining to watch and many still grumble about it but we just missed out on the play offs - all because we stopped conceding goals. Harry's working on that - the last three away matches you've lost in the last 10 minutes or so. You need to stop conceding stupid goals at home - but from what I've seen you excel at that sort of thing.

    I think you'd best explain that to Yankee Doodle. He ain't too quick on the uptake :D

    Utter cobblers is the drivel you spout week in week out Bob <ok> It's plain to see you've got a downer on Shelvey but some of us can see his good points as well.

    I dont agree harry knows the premiership bob, I would say he knew the premiership a few years ago but it has changed and most managers have changed with it. Harry im afraid is stuck in the old way of playing the game and like the season before last when they were relegated he is still in the same mode. He has some good players but its the tactics that are letting the side down and with the players he has had in his charge over the past 3 seasons then they should never be where they are and really should not have been relegated last time. Harry should either update his tactics himself or hand over the reigns to a more modern manager before its to late.

    Fully agree there. He looked good in that position. If we get a striker with pace, I'd like too see him play the 10 role with a fast striker a la Gerrard behind Torres a few years ago.

    Well, I think Shelvey is a quality player. He is best played further forward.

    Maybe Harry's chewed off a bit more than he can handle with you lot! How many managers have you had? How many players have come and gone? you have some talented players, but you do not play as a team? Anyway I don't see you going down, and I do see signs of progress even if it is modest, I have a lot of time for Harry.........<ok>

    In fact, you were the one that pointed out to me that I should leave it to him because his forecasting was better than mine. But now you're pretending not to know. Odd.
