QPR keeper reveals difference between Neil Warnock and Chris Ramsey 06:00, 10 Nov 2015 By Paul Warburton Robert Green also makes plea for fans to stick with Rs through rough patch please log in to view this image Comparison: Rob Green Robert Green has had four different voices telling him what to do at QPR in his three years with the club. The keeper revealed the latest is a marked change from the man Hoops sacked last week. The England international explained Chris Ramsey was a coach methodical in preparation as well as a student of tactics. Neil Warnock has simply urged Hoops to fix bayonets and come out screaming. It didn’t entirely work after a 0-0 draw with Preston on Saturday (see gallery), but at least the keeper could point to a clean sheet. “We’ve got a guy who’s charismatic,” Green said. “If you don’t know what Neil Warnock’s about, you haven’t been watching football for the last 20 years. “Ever since I started playing, he has been a manager. Whatever limitations he’s had at a club, he’s always got everyone working as a team. “He wanted us to go and express ourselves - particular the attacking players. After all, he keeps telling us he was a good winger. “Chris was more about playing in a constructive manner; a student of tactics in that respect, you might say. “But there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Neil’s had seven promotions, as I’m sure he’s told you. It worked in the past and it could work again.” please log in to view this image hopes fans will stick by the side - as they did throughout Saturday’s draw. He said: “We didn’t get a shot against Derby last week, and Ale’s free-kick on Saturday just about reached goal. We tailed off after an hour with some people shy of 90 minutes fitness. “So we ask the fans to stick with us. We all love free-flowing attacking and scoring - but sometimes it’s just not there. “We’re immensely disappointed for Chris, because that means you’re not doing very well. “The season has gone from one of consolidation to one of promotion all of a sudden, and that’s a difficult thing after you change your mind.”
i really love neil warnock oi can remember when he first came i went to the reading away game and all the people waiting were in blue and white so i thought they were rangers when the qpr coach arrived it went inside the majeski so as the players got off i waited patiently and when neil got off i went hysterical,onlt to find all around me were reading fans who had patiently waited to give neil abuse but they were ok with me they seem to underrstand that im a bit insane so they just left me alone
That's interesting. Did the players try a bit less when they thought they only needed to 'consolidate' rather than be promoted? I would have hoped that they would have tried their hardest anyway, out of respect to the fans, their manager, their team mates and self interest - play well and that contract/ transfer is a bit closer. "Some people shy of 90 minutes fitness". Really? In November? I suggest we have them humanely destroyed, unless they have recently been injured, they clearly don't know the meaning of the word professional.
So preparation and tactics out the window, and "just get out there and get stuck in" is in... blimey, this management lark sounds like a doddle.
...and the fitness comment - totally agree with SB_73 - utterly woeful that there are fitness issues 16 games into a season - interesting to know who he is talking about, because it surely can't be the whole squad... can it?
I'm afraid Warnock is of the Redknapp (I don't do tactics) school. He was totally outthought by the Preston manager on Saturday, when they simply closed down Faurlin in the second half and we didn't have a clue after that. He has value as a motivator though, and we certainly lack that at the moment.
Ramseys tactical talk must have been, ' Look un-interested for as much of the match as possible, play like inept strangers and hope for a point' I guess
I noticed one thing Saturday again about Rob Green ... It's takes him 2 minutes to take a goal kick He starts with a small prayer and then openly chants Foot Ball Ball Foot Foot Ball (x4) Raises him arms aloft Walks backwards 7 spaces counting down from 7 to 1 Deep breaths before charging towards the ball chanting Football 1 through to Football 7 just before he makes contact he shouts "Leggy is **** " When the ball is in mid air he shakes uncontrollably then turns left or right and pulls a Wallace face into an imaginary camera
I'm assuming he's referring to the lads who have had injuries (Austin, fer etc) as being shy of fitness. The bit that really made me laugh was Ramsey being a "student of tactics"
Bloody hell you always get players saying what it was like under last manager and new! When Redknapp left players came out saying now we are actually training. makes me laugh. Rob Green should not worry about interviews and what manager is best and learn to distribute the ball better! Muppet
Couldn't agree more as a professional sportsmen fitness levels should be a given (injuries aside), I get some may not be match fit if haven't been playing but they should certainly be able to run around for the full 90+ mins like this
I think that is Ale and Sandro....and an what he means is because our midfield dynamos, on who we will depend, have not played 90 min together in the cauldron of a championship match...the intensity of which cannot be replicated in a u21 match in Harlington. He is right, but you are right to Rodney and Stan.......disgraceful that CR never felt committed to play them....it will take time to get Ale to play 90 minutes....and not break dows
I think that's a bit harsh. You can't have had the success he's had by just sending out the troops after a good speech. We wiped the floor with a lot of teams when he got us promoted and not all of those teams could have been ****e. Furthermore, that was his first game where players had to get used to his way of playing. Then again, we might as well sack every manager if their first game isn't like Brazil 1972.
