But the whole reason I made this thread was to express that I think other teams who are on our level on paper are doing better because we've had all philosophy and consistency destroyed at our club over the past five or more years. Players arrive here and have no idea what it means to be a part of QPR and they have no way of identifying or assimilating a style of play. It's been chaos. And now we're in a situation where things are going in the right direction but we're so far out of shape as a club that it'll take a while to get back. The players will take a while to all get on the same page because there had been no discipline and club direction.
I completely agree with that. If you'd said that only and not mentioned that tactics had nothing to do with it, you'd have had me from the start.
Ah, but I didn't say that. I said I don't think tactics was the main thing. I clearly state that tactics are a secondary factor. This is what I mean about people reading what they want to read rather than what is actually there. The opening line from my original post: "I actually don't think its the tactics so much."
Sho Should of scored Saturday also Colin has chemistry issues he worries one minute about the method then the results are in he is back to the drawing board We get a result and the method is forgotten The facts are CR is our manager and he and any others need to support him after all that's all we are
It's NOT the tactics. Not any more. It WAS the tactics earlier in the season... Whilst Redknapp was in charge, we all saw the problem. He had a winning formula at home, playing a style that fitted the team and that we could use to our best advantage. Games like Liverpool were lost on a single, stupid mistake, however we showed we can live with the very best clubs. Why he then went and changed it so dramatically away is still baffling to me, and caused our descent into the losing run on the road we all suffered. Now we're playing well home AND away, because CR has us playing to our strengths, and we've not had a bad game since he took over. The thing is (and I'm typing this bit slowly because I know the flames will come) - we're an unlucky side. We play great football but concede when we shouldn't. We get decisions we deserve that would turn the game in our favour waved away (like penalties against Spurs). We have Charlie shaving the outside of the post instead of the inside, repeatedly. We're playing very well but not getting the average of the breaks that you need in our situation. Sadly, I'm getting to the point where I'm expecting relegation because that's what happens to unlucky sides, no matter how good they are. I hope I'm so wrong on that, but games are running out and we need the tide to turn in our favour starting this weekend at Palace. Come on, boys - go out there and prove me wrong!
