Match Day Thread QPR v Bristol City

we are definatly going places now
southend and scunthorpe among them

 

Just back and really shocked by what I saw. There are players who can play so much better but for some reason they seem to have lost all ability under McClaren.
Ingram needs to go and sort his head out. Any other position a player competes for their place. He’s needs to make way for Lumley then fight his way back into the team.

 

Manning motm for Rotherham, you couldn’t make it up could you

 

Spot on. People just need an excuse. They should be looking at the owner to be fair.

 

long way to go
too early to give up

 

Bassong and Wells incoming... really? Would they want to come??
Wells would help....as I keep saying ...life would be a lot easier if we could actually score a goal..

But that is not the fullest answer.... the trust in Steve has already gone. His record for Derby and for us is appalling...

Something drastic must happen.....I think he will last to Sunday

I think we can see already why McClaren is considered a decent coach, but a poor manager. He seems to have no motivational skills whatsoever. We started well tonight and I fully believe that if we had scored first we would have won. As it was, after being the better side for forty minutes, we gave away a disastrous goal - Bidwell left on his arse and Ingram appearing to let the shot underneath him - and heads dropped immediately. More bad defending five minutes into the second half and the game was as good as over. If McClaren had been in the job for longer, you might say that he had 'lost the dressing room', but it seems to me that they haven't believed in him from the start.

 

Stuck trying to get home. On a station platform and deeply unhappy. Best bit of the game, the fans chanting Greeno, Greeno.

How 5hit must Lumley be if Ingram gets picked ahead of him?

It’s an unmitigated disaster. We are a laughing stock.

Just four games in and I cannot see how we can avoid division 1 next year.

I blame them all.

 

Hope we start off with Oxford ..................

 

I watched you you as a neutral for the first time since you drew at the cottage,
Wow what a difference, no spirit, and no belief, and lacking commitment and no leaders, terrible defence, sacking mclaren is not the answer, let him get 2 center backs in,and give him time,you picked him because he did well for you as a coach when harry was in charge, you can see he is trying to play better football, without the players

 

I maintain we should of ridden it out
I was consistent saying we need to earn stability with a coach that cares even if we just avoided relegation for a few years

We are certainly going somewhere without him maybe the same place as everyone thought Hollowsy would take us but didn’t

McClaren imo is unemployable
This was his only offer I bet

He cannot succeed with the best players
He has no chance with our players

I never liked him and like him less now
He is not a QPR man

Start again and get some stability

 

Respect to you on that one Paul, and yes you were someone who wanted Holloway to stay.....my point is that I couldn’t see us doing much better under Holloway and his time was ultimately up.
The mistake is, as you rightly point out, not putting someone in charge who has some desire and something to prove....like Ainsworth for example.

 

Nope not having it
He has had his chance after all the pre season to prepare on tactics etc

If this is putting his skill set to use then it’s crazy we had chances to work on our play for months. If anyone can see the football then tell me ? The gaps are massive all over the pitch no tracking

That is not an accident we still have some very good players

The German is not good enough for league 2
His only purchase in a new defence ... his team

TF is a ****ing muppet employing this tit

 

Get a QPR man at the club ASAP

 

Bassong was at the game today and fans in next seats saw John Collins as well, doesn’t improve our attacking threat but plenty of experience

 

Can't see why anyone would want come in on loan to lose every week, be more enjoyable watching their own team from the stands. Our main hope is bringing in 2 or 3 players without clubs & in need of a wage.

All is totally predictable what team would lose 3 defenders & sell a quality goalie & not replace.

 

When all 3 of our "strikers" were on the pitch we couldn't manage a single effort from them on target

Utterly pathetic

Our tactic throughout the game simply seemed to be to boot the ball in the air

We made a very average City side - with half their players out injured - look very decent

Not sure how Schteve thinks he will turn this round - sorting the defence is one thing but who is going to score goals?

If we fail to win on Saturday he has to go or we will be playing in a stadium devoid of home fans. Fewer than 12000 there tonight

 

Hoo ****ing ray. Holloway was running to stand still and the majority of us had lost patience. He was replaced with someone who had coached a Man Utd team to the treble, managed an unfashionable club to a European final, managed a team to win a major European league. Sadly it seems his talent has gone the same way as his hair....but he is an upgrade.

I have seen nothing of the game, but have read this entire thread while drinking. It is clear the team were headless, were they spineless as well? If yes we are back in the worst days of Redknapp, but cheaper.

We can get rid of Hair Island, and get the board to walk away (though someone will have to pay the wages, because gate money won’t) but we are stuck with these players.

It’s beyond me what’s going on, but a cleansing and cathartic spell in League One and wholesale change at every level might be required to lift the curse we are obviously labouring under.

I was feeling guilty about spurning a ticket to see us last Saturday and not sorting a trip down to Shepherds Bush yet this season. Now I’m simply grateful.

Turn this round quick or we’ll be adrift and playing in front of 8000 or less by December.

 

Would not surprise me in the slightest if the owners put the club up for sale now, rather later in the year when the reality comes closer.

As fans of the club, this would be a blessing and would solve short term plans providing a suitable owner with a squillion dollars was found ( providing they aren't more chicken farmers ).

First and foremost, the club needs to address the fans immediately about what they able to do, to arrest this free-fall.
If ever we needed a parachute of some kind, it is now ...... ( new owner like Aston Villa ) ........... but l'd settle for some decent loan signings.
