But it wasn't hoof ball today. Playing 2 wide men is a luxury we can't afford. Another wide man, or at least the ones we have, for SWP would have helped little IMO. We needed another man more central, without Barton, Krancjar the best we had available there unless Zarate has talents he hasn't shown with us yet. We have missed Barton bad, him for SWP today would have got us into a fighting unit Palace would have had problems with, plus the 2nd half defense, with Traore instead of Yun possibly an improvement.
Barton has cost us vital points over the last four games IMO. Shame on him. Zarate is back at West Ham Ozzie
I disagree i believe the man who's fault it is, is Antony i don't know his middle name Fernandez. Should have either backed Harry or got rid him before January. Lets hope now Les is here a lot of Tony's misguided judgments are taken out of his hands and we can build for the future
But what is Ferdinand actually doing? It feels like just another thing Fernandes has seen on the TV and wants. A director of football at a club like ours? In the championship? And someone totally and utterly unproven or qualified for the role? I would love Les Ferdinand to be a big part of QPR, but it's unbelievably short sighted again by Fernandes to think that this will work. Everything I see from the boardroom just appears to be Fernandes throwing his own brand of sh*t at the wall and seeing what sticks. Remarkably like Redknapps and now sadly Ramsey's management. We're a mess of a club.
That may be the case, but how many games have we won under Ramsey so far? ....and the players we have are not good enough!
Redknapp - never was interested in QPR. always a Spud or an Iron and never an England manager. Fernandez - Iron, knows f'all about football and has had his underpants around his ankles since the beginning Austin - professional, worked hard and deserves a lucrative contract but not Ronaldo Hoops squad - **** ( just not good enough at this level) CR - token gesture, out of his depth
Well said, mate. I thinking that it's not so much were turning on Ramsey ............ probably more so, as mentioned above, that he isn't the 'Tony Pulis' we were hoping he would be. It really sux that we only have gotten one win out of having a new manager. Palace & Brom have done much better. It looks likely we've gotten the bum deal, again. If Redknapp starts sprouting to the papers that he would of save us if he was still manager, I'll walk across water from Oz, to thump him.
Ramsey has had to deal with two top sides at Loftus road, poor and costly refereeing, having 10 men away at Hull, and periodically no Fer, Barton, Isla or Vargas... We owe him a bit more....let's stay behind him....
Sunderland are still 4 points above us. At the present moment, with our squad, team selection, upcoming opponents and our actual performances on the pitch it may as well be 14
I agree. The turning point of our season was IMO losing Loic Remy must before the window. We never replaced him and the board should have been working on a list of replacements through autumn. Harry made it clear that he thought would be alright if we had another forward. They should have backed him. They didn't. I honestly believe that the quality of this division has dropped this season; there are a fair amount of average sides and it is disappointing to find ourselves where we are now. I am really concerned about our future now. I do not think this board will have the stomach for another relegation especially with all the potential financial implications.
And now Villa have improved immeasurably after appointing Sherwood. They look a totally different team. It's only us who have had no "new manager boost". Ramsey needs to be true to his footballing principals and be consistent with his selections, fitness allowing.
There's a big difference Col, Villa and West Brom were basically decent squads seriously underperforming, we are a disjointed ragbag of egos and has-beens who are beyond improvement. There is a malaise in the club that is like a cancer and it has been cut out several times in each window but returns just as strong as before. We're reaching the terminal stage now...
Radical surgery, coupled with immunotherapy and gene therapy may save us. But I suspect we will get palliative chemotherapy and stagger on with no quality of life for a limited period.
Time to bring in that Nigerian geezer that advertises in the South London Press who can cure anything by the 'Laying on of hands'...
