Is it any coincidence that this crap has been produced since Harold decided to go 442? We are far too open in the middle, like it or not we need a DCM sitting in front of the back 4 and that means Henry has to play....

1 point from 9 and 3 conceeded twice at home in successive games....if we can see the problems why can't Harold?
 
My match report........

Pre-match: Hopeful
Post- match: Frustrated
Biggest wate of space: Zamora
Man of the match: The poor QPR fan

End of report
 
Hoilett looked ok today, and I think (may be wrong) that of all those who made the pitch today only he, Barton and Green will be our players come the summer (unless we sell some of them of course or sign some of the loanees/extend some contracts). Still loads to play for, including the automatic spot, we have to go for it otherwise this season will have been completely wasted, the only building done the signings of Austin and Philips.

Quite happy that jet lag prevented me from making a last minute decision to go to this one.

Unlucky JB..... Frankly I don't want to go up with this shower. Rebuild with some hungry youth. Not old wasters and loans!

Same here, Redknapp will set us further back if we go up and he stays in charge, we are better off long term not going up and getting a good manager in.

I said all along we weren't very good and were put in a false position by a once in a lifetime clean sheet run.
 
Rednapp not man enough to come out and speak to sky. Weasal, time to sack him and get someone who will lead us back to the promised land.

spot on. we may have been dull with 4 5 1 but we were much more solid. we can't control the midfield with the 4 he puts out and that puts pressure on the back 4. The result of this - 3 conceded twice in 3 games. we're now shaky at the back as well as having no punch up front.

so many silly free kicks conceded today as well, really irritating.

there was a real lack of urgency from us when they went down to 10. we didn't start pushing until there was 8 mins to go. terrible.

I have yet another 30 cm of snow to tackle in my driveway with my 18 yr old snowblower, which I only hope keeps running. Later leg of lamb for dinner served with mint sauce and redcurrant jelly, accompanied by nice bottle of red wine to drown my sorrows.

I didn't watch it. The switch to 4-4-2 is a knee jerk reaction to losing the only player who could score and play as a lone striker. Perhaps someone will tell me that it's a stroke of genius by our master tactician and we just need another 20 games or so before it all clicks into place.

I was speaking to a source on the spurs board, he actually works at the club and is a big fan of Redknapp but was explaining Redknapp has never felt at home with QPR. When he was sacked from Tottenham, apparently he was personally gutted that he never received a ton of job offers and was thankful for QPR, for giving him a chance but he doesn't feel at home with QPR. I believe he knows he isn't liked there and you can sense there is a detachment between the fans and Redknapp. He wants to be back in the premier league with a bigger club, while you fans want a different manager, someone younger and with excitement.

But Redknapp feels he has to stay loyal to your chairmain for giving him a chance when no else would (apart from the Ukraine job) after he was sacked from Spurs.

Of course I'm not typing that as fact but its info which does make sense to me as there is something missing, especially as if you look at Redknapp from his time at portsmouth, he was happy there and created excitement.

If you look at the clubs which I believe he was never completely sure of managering (yourselves and Southampton) there was a lack of excitement but as a big fan of Redknapp, he owes it to your chairmain to get you promoted and he still has the ability to do the job.
 
Massive risk playing Will Keane and unfortunately for the lad he just wasn't up to it. Maybe a great future but we should not be taking such risks in such an important game.
