    Another win for West Brom today and now up to 13th.

    Pity Harry didn't bale out earlier when Pulis was still available.

    TBH C_A i think Harry created a bit of a disjointed team at QPR and even if Jose was manager we would still struggle. I keep hearing our fans wanting this manager and that manager when we already have a good guy in charge? Chris Ramsey has done more in 2 games than Harry did in 2 years by giving our youth a chance. We should all be 100% behind him and not worry about the others.

    West Brom had a decent squad and when they played us at Loftus Road should have been out of sight by half-time. Pulis has made about six signings for them so has moulded them into a better unit.

    As Ellers said, our team is not well-balanced so even Pulis would have struggled to knock them into shape. Ramsey has made a promising start and let's just hope he continues to galvanise the team to play to their max...

    Probably a lost opportunity but you never know.
    It is possible that we would still of been losing with him in charge.
    One thing I do know is that he would not of played Taarabt in our starting eleven.

    I am happy with Chris Ramsey......perhaps WBA missed a trick in not getting him!

    Don't think it's a surprise that both WBA & Palace who have brought in new management & at the same time added to their squad have both moved clear of relegation.

    Still think we (TF) missed a trick not adding to an imbalanced team so the odds have been stacked against CR from the start, if we do stay up will be a significant achievement.

    CR is a breath of fresh air
    Pulis completely wrong for us

    Hughes, Redknapp, Pulis....just managers on the circuit, any job for the right money and minimum risk. At least CR is a bit different, we gave him his chance, he's not doing us some kind of favour in his own head. Plus he's already made me feel more optimistic about this team than Pulis et al ever could.

    Let's avoid speculating what might have been with others in charge.

    Instead, let's get behind Ramsey and give him as much support as possible, he's made a good start and generally results were good to us today so a win against Arsenal will increase the optimism further.

    I agree. There's already a feel-good factor with Ramsey picking youngsters and going on the front foot in away games. Relegation seems a little less likely now, and you get the feeling that even if it did happen, the club has changed for the better.

    Ramsey has got 3 points from three fixtures that we could of done with picking up at least 4 points.
    A slightly disappointing start which means we have to beat Arse or Spurs.

    If we had Pullis, he might get us survival but we'd be saying he's not a QPR manager and looking to replace him in a year or so.

    Ramsey is the right type and is worth backing IMO.

    i would have been pleased to have had Pulis in back in August or anytime later, or about anyone would have been better than Harry the last year come to that. But CR makes a very good impression and seems to be doing very well with a bad hand made worse by the injuries so far- Fer's in particular was a bad loss when he did so well at Sunderland especially. I'm very happy we have CR and think longer term he is probably a better bet than Pulis or Pardoe anyway.

    I think the worst opportunity missed was failing to sign Messi when he was in the maternity ward, how things could have been.

    Pullis has always rubbed me up the wrong way. Don't like the guy, don't like his teams and the way they play. Personally, I'm glad he's nowhere near our club. Agree with DT, wrong person for our club.

    Nothing else matters other than staying up so yes, I suppose we did miss a trick.

    But hopefully Rambo can still pull it out the fire

    Time will tell, you just know when Pulis takes over his team improves.
