And had we drawn yesterday (close / narrow margins indeed as Tooting commented above), you would still have been positive. It's hard to disagree very much with the negative comments on this and other threads but we are not down and out just yet.
But we will be very soon if things continue this way. We need a change before it is too late. I'm not so sure I would be positive if we had drawn yesterday. Maybe not as negative, but not quite positive. We need to start having a go at winning games...against teams in and around us, home or away, we need to start trying to win.
I said to myself that if we have 17 points by 31st December it would be good enough with the window coming up. We actually could have had more. I guess what worries me, and maybe others, is that despite winning at home it has never looked comfortable and we are the worst team in Europe away from home. Now we must play most of the more successful teams to date at Loftus Road and meet the lower half on their home grounds. They are looking more comfortable now and we did not manage anything at Burnley, close or not. Do we look like gaining another 21 points - it's hard to see it from where we now stand. The window would need to be very good to us.
If we had a crap squad of crap players then as a long suffering QPR fan I would take losing on the chin & resign myself to Championship footie, but when players are constantly playing beneath there ability with no obvious style of play, tactics etc then that's not acceptable.
It's hard to 'keep the faith' when we have a manager who sets us up 'to not lose' away from home, yet, ironically has lost every single game. Surely if we had set up to have ago at teams as we do at home we'd at the very least be a few points better off. If i'm honest im starting to really lose the faith. We can't stay up on home form alone. Especially when we only have to play 1 team currently in the bottom half at home.
Very true. Despite seeming to be without any tactical plan, sloppy defense and with unfit players I thought we were the equal of Burnley, as the statistics suggested. Give us one or two of a lot of luck, a new Manager who gets 100% from the players and gets them playing in a workable formation, fitness and form from Adel and Zarate, and a new CM who is able to shore up our defense, we could scrape survival. I watched some of Palace - Spurs at the weekend, and for much of that it was hard to tell which team was the one in the drop zone. It can be much of the same with us when we meet the top Clubs at home, we have a reasonable chance of beating them. It looks very bleak right now, but I think we have as good a chance of picking up the needed points as during the 1st part of the season.
Agreed I would go further and say Harold is an excellent football scout and dealer but that is where he skill set stops IMO
In terms of position in the league there is nothing to worry about given the fact anyone from 10 could fall
I completely agree. I enjoyed watching QPR in what is now league 1. I loved watching Cookie, Rowlie, Gallen, Ainsworth much more than this lot. But I honestly don't blame the players at the moment. If all the organisation and professionalism was there in the club, they'd be playing good football.
I've heard it all now! Have you actually seen the players he's brought to our club? If that's excellent I'd hate to see some of his turkeys...
I wonder if that will be true in a few weeks' time after our much-hyped home form has been tested by Manchester United, Southampton, Spurs and Arsenal.
The crazy thing is that we nearly drew with Southampton at Marys. I think we can give them a good run at HQ.
