I'm fairly neutral about MH SB - been quite willing to give him a chance, and I am not asking for him to be kicked out now. But I will be end August if he has the Cash but still doesn't strengthen us defensively where it has been obvious all last season as well as yesterday, that it is there that we need to invest. As for Colin I wanted him given longer, think we would have ended up higher than 17th if he'd stayed, but certainly not in "perpetuaty"!
Fair enough mate, I find myself exaggerating for effect a lot as I get older, helps to keep my kids in line. Should avoid it on here though.... Don't think there is a chance of Hughes getting the boot, his contract will be cast iron in terms of compensation and he has brought a lot of people to the club as well - the coaches, Rigg, scouting team, 'sports scientists' whatever they are. Seems to me weare in it for the long haul.
Let me firstly say I was at the game yesterday, and we were awful. Green was definitely at fault for the first goal. Sat where I was in X block, I cannot honestly comment on the other 4, although what coverage I have seen (I can barely watch), he appears to have made errors in his postioning for a couple of them. I think we were 2-0 down when MH decided it was prudent to replace Clint Hill, (our best defender last year and yesterday) with SWP, a player who, whllst having great commitment, has not scored for us in competitive football. IMO, that was a huge mistake. Fabio, who was responsible for Swanseas second goal should have been taken off and Zamora (yes I know he's carrying a knock, but if he wasn't fit he shouldn't have been on the bench) should have come on to support Cisse who hardly had a touch all day. I left yesterdays game feeling like I'd been mugged. I have never had any faith in MH as a manager even before he joined us, I have even less now. He HAS to improve things and quick. The next 3 games are against Norwich, who we never seem capable of beating, Man City and Chelshit. I can see: Played 4, Lost 4. Disappointed is NOT the word.
This! Agree in particular about Hill and his substitution - not his best game for us yesterday by a long way, but still the best of our poor back 7 mainly defensive players (I include the back 4. Green, Park and Diakite in this).
Agree, I said at one point the best we can hope for is 10-12th place - and that is if we have a very good season. Others said that is a pessimistic view - but imo that is exactly where the current standard of the squad sits. Lets not overhype our players. We have barely any strikers - two of which dont actually get a decent return of goals, and are weak in defence.
I'm totally positive. It was a glitch. Not to say that there aren't problems that need addressing but this is QPR and is it ever different? We'll get up and running soon. It's good that we have that cup game. I recon MH should use it to keep working on the full team.
