    Have you broken your monastic vow of silence? You don't post on the match day threads.

    The only light at the end of the tunnel for me at the moment is that Villa, John Terry and Dean Smith all look like they are now stranded in the Championship and potentially in serious financial doo doo. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch. Smith will be given a bit more time but JT I expect will be shown the door soon

    Just see sky highlights & lumley is at fault for both goals, he’s having a poor time at present, but that leaves Ingram!

    I thought he was partially at fault for both, but he did make some good saves including 2 where he was left 1 on 1.

    My world view has been torn apart. It makes no difference whether I post or not. Maybe I can afford to start stepping on pavement cracks as well. Relief, to a degree.

    Too many games too close together to sort this shambles out on the training ground.

    At this rate we are relying on the teams below us to remain utter ****e.

    At the start of the season McLaren said that we would be finishing roughly 18th or so in the division. The previous years had not given us play off challenges so why should this season be any different. Indeed, after 4 games, 4 defeats including a 7-1 hammering most would have thought we would go down. However 4 loaness coming in helped.
    We have been on a good run and got to 8th.....Play offs, promotion....yeah I was dreaming as well. No Jan transfer window has hindered due to FFP...….but on the bright side whilst we could not bring in anyone at least the players we have know that this could be the year for them to prove themselves. There are more financially equipped team in the division, Stoke with their Premier Parachute payments and others as well. We send our youngsters out on loan to get them experience as they are more than likely to be played next season. We have players (injured at present) on their way back who will help turn the corner, and we have tired youngsters (Eze) who need a break. And then we have the players that continually get their butts kicked - they may not be the best but they are what we have and should be supported, Ingram, Smith and Eze are here that I know have had stick.
    We lose 3 or is 4 games in the last few minutes. That is bad luck, with tiredness.
    However we are QPR. What's to say that the next 4 games, we beat every side? We are a Jekyll and Hyde at present and on our day we will give any team a match but when your luck is out it's out. McLaren is still the man for me to continue in his role. I did hear that supporters want him out, but no one ever states who they want in!!
    At some point, a wayward shot will hit someone and fly into the net giving us 3 much needed points.
    Keep the faith....

    I imagine Ryan Manning's confidence has taken a hit, finally gets a start but is hooked at half time.

    Losing this many in a row is not just down to bad luck imo.
    I'll stick my neck out and say that we won't win our next 4 games!

    I’ve been resisting commenting on this ‘bad luck’ vibe.

    Doesn’t wash with me. It’s inability to see through a game plan. Either because some or all of the players aren’t good enough, or because some or all of them aren’t following instructions. Or the instructions are wrong. Probably a bit of all three.

    Enjoy the sunshine mate.

    I really do not understand how we
    changed from the pre-Christmas “in-form team” to the New Year 2019 “out-of-form team”.

    It is more than just “bad luck” and no “Cameron”.

    Anyway, all trends have an end, and I look forward to the end of this one!

    Confidence looks shot to pieces by this slump. Two defeats this week and the pressure will be piling on.
    375/1 with Paddy Power to be relegated, a tenner on that would ease the pain, only slightly.

    Well I have to say that we don’t look a dreadful side. I sincerely thought we would be well adrift by now yet we have done a lot better given our squad and total club **** up.

    No question today I have to state we are lucky to have McClaren at the moment because he really is showing his coaching skills off.

    Currently I can still see us getting a result Tuesday or being close to it. See Pulis gave us praise yesterday. It’s very clear that there are no easy games in this league and only now are we beginning to see the form teams open up their challenge. So many very strong sides yet a couple of them are going to slip away ... hopefully Norwich as I can still see Boro and WBA finishing very strong. This league eats itself at times but I fully believe we can get at least 5 wins before May and that should be enough

    Where do we go from there?
    No idea but nothing to say Oxbow won’t form a strong side next season where we will face quality dropping down from the premiership plus have to face real form teams like Luton and maybe Sunderland etc coming up

    Either way we are nothing but a championship side and club so time to be proud of that I think
