Disagree .
QPR will stay up .
He has got them playing for each other , that's what was missing before IMHO .
For me, I've been waiting for two things to happen (because, imo, on paper they easily have the players to survive).
One, Harry to actually put some attacking players on the field. Spending December, January and February with two or three holding midfielders, trying to keep the goals against column was never going to keep them up. Now, finally, they are starting to do that. Dropping Tarraabt, whilst a big call, is a correct one. Much better shape about them now.
Two, a 'spark'. They always needed to go on a great run to survive. The odd win or draw here and there would not have been enough (unlike us, Sunderland, Villa and Wigan, where it may well be enough). And you always need that 'spark' to kick off a run like that - whatever that 'spark' may be (usually three points). Those three points at our place could well be their 'spark'.
They won't stay up. Their remaining fixtures are: Villa (A), Fulham (A), Wigan (H), Everton (A), Stoke (H), Reading (A), Arsenal (H), Newcastle (H), Liverpool (A). Their last 3 games will kill them off IMO.
I agree that those last three are difficult. But if they're right in the mix come then (I've actually got them sitting outside the bottom three come May), then you never know. And besides, other teams have a tough game or two in May. We go to Spurs, Villa host Chelsea, Wigan go to Arsenal, Reading host Man City, Sunderland go to Spurs. And then there's us and Sunderland playing each other that month, and Villa playing Wigan.
Most, if not all, of us will be dropping points in May, not just QPR. They may only need to win one of those three, and Newcastle for example might be 100% focused on the Europa League come then.
Exactly, and they're away to Villa and Reading, both of whom will also be fighting for their lives and knowing they must win those games. The outcome of those games will decide a lot, and if QPR don't win them both, I can't see any way back for them.
Yes, 'if' they don't them both. But they might, they might. I can easily see them pick up four points, if not the full six.
And for Reading, it might already be over for them by then. Realistically, they'd have to pick up at least four points from us at home and Norwich away prior to that game, to still be in with a shout, because I can see them losing to Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool.
