If we win both games in the semi-final and win the final, then we will have won the play offs. Hope that helps you understand the permutations.
Missed that...I was out buying a half time round of hot chocolates, which, as a positive, at £2 for decent hot chocolate is a bargain!
I agree. I can't help feeling there is a race after the final whistle to see who can get the knife in first.
I really don't believe it. Some of the people on this board need to step back and take a good look at themselves and the negativity they post on this board. If a quarter of this seeps through from the terraces to the players, it's no wonder that some of the players lose heart.They say the crowd is the 12th man, well with this attitude you'd have been Watford's 13th today. I've been a QPR fan for over 40 years. I was there when we finished second in the league. I was there when we nearly won the FA Cup. I was there when we lost to Vauxhall Motors. I was there when we dropped to the third tier, and when we came back up. I kicked pretty much every ball when we were waiting to see if we'd get promoted to the Premiership, and felt every dig when we dropped back down. And yet some of you can't even raise a smile on the day we come back from a goal down against a top-half team to clinch a play-off place!! I'm utterly dismayed. I thought that QPR fans were the REAL football fans. Not plastics that are only happy when we win 5-0 and never drop a point all season. QPR fans understand what football is actualy about. With some of you lot though, I'm not too sure. I'm almost embarrased to count myself as a fellow fan, because I certainly can't agree with your opinions.
No, there are 20 teams doing worse, are you really telling me howe at Bournemouth is doing a worse job than Redknapp? He's taken a relegation team to the fringes of the playoffs while Redknapp only has the clear favs in fourth thanks to McLaren or wed be in the bottom half without him. Wed have got auto promotion with most of the managers in this league. Redknapp is easily in the bottom 3 and dead bottom for me. Awful football, we stumbled about today with no clue at all, 2 target men up front who looked lost, the ever worsening dunnegifting goals away and it took him 73 mins to see something was wrong which was clear from the start.
Convinced we're going up. Going to put a few hundred on us while the odds are still half decent. It's going to happen, gut feeling.
I agree with you - though I was only around from the 80's onwards. I think the negative threads are meant to be provocative, they've replaced the Taarabt threads as bait, tossed out by regulars who derive some sort of satisfaction from starting an argument. Strange behaviour I'll grant you, and the main reason I no longer bother reading much on here.
Willy, were you there today mate? I agree that it's great that we came back to win and they were two great goals, especially Charlie's. But for 60 minutes we were as bad as anything I've seen from us this season.
I had green down as our motm at HT with a rating of 6! It was comical, we even nearly somehow managed to mess up a 3 players clean through at the end. There is zero coaching at all, I'm not even sure Redknapp is there during the week.
Not today, but watched on a stream. At this stage of the season, results count. Now we are assured of a playoff place, the tactics and focus can change. However, up to today, we were playing for a place in the playoffs. Before this, we were playing for a top 2 finish, and the focus changed when that wasn't possible any more. We had to grind out the result today against a very determined side, and we did it. Not the prettiest, but we have the three points. Sounds kinda like Olly's famous Ugly Bird speech, which we all thought was wonderful. But the Harry Haters out there would lynch him if he uttered the same words for which Olly was lauded. I stand by every word I typed, mate.
Come on, doesn't matter. We won and if we get throught the play-offs we're in the "promised land". Harry will be gone and we'll have a new manager either way. Let it go.
Yep, fair enough. I agree that it's now simply the results that matter and I won't care a jot if we're out-played in both semi final games and the final, but our quality players pull it out of the bag for us.
How many teams have ever sacked their manager during the close season after promotion to the top flight? My guess would be somewhere less than one...
