    Good summary, Nines. Agree particularly about the need to shore up the defence (elementary errors being made) and moving the ball about so we don't get caught in possession. We have some exciting attacking players, but we won't make headway unless these basic issues are resolved

    This time last season

    It is a new team. It will take time to gel and for the players to get used to each other.
    We should have had a penalty which could have changed the course of the game.
    Keep the faith

    Good reminder!
    The other positive is that we actually have some QPR footballing moves and some skill of the players to discuss rather than abject misery with no hope of anything at all.
    Let's keep our expectations grounded in reality.

    Shocking start to the last campaign. How Schteve clung in for so long God only knows.

    I believe other mortals also knew during this time in our history. One theory I heard was that Casper his pet snake bit Tony Fernandes on the cheek

    You can clearly see the skin discolouration that is typical of a serpent strike

    I heard that he kept getting letters of support from France in much the same way as Hughes did, even when everyone else had abandoned him.

    Correct but since then sadly I have lost a lot of faith. Seriously can’t understand why our club hasn’t worked harder on the scenario that we have to stay at Loftus Road.

    The visions and dreams of TF are now still in his mind. Everyone seems to think the only way is new this and that... All based around fantasy maths imo.

    Look at AFC Bournemouth

    LR imo with good design could be made a 22,000 seater sorry no doubt in my mind

    That is enough imo
    Revenue stream adjustment can be marketed to a higher level.

    The clubs corporate image could be elevated to almost anything we dream about

    What is happening now?
    What exactly has been achieved?

    Because we improved quickly and were very good until the new year - 2 or 3 points off the top 6.

    I do think the overall quality of our team has been improved this season. Last season Scowen fitted into the team quality-wise. This season he’s struggling.

    Just saw the highlghts on the report and the penalty shout against Bidwell was the turning point.......should have been spotted by the ref, arm away from body making himself bigger to block shot, penalty by today's rules and possibly a red card........

    Small margins but it's still early days and it will come good as we look good on the ball just need to be more clinical in front of goal and cut out the stupid individual errors.......

    I admit that I missed it "live" on the stream. Also, there was no replay shown.

    I was first aware of it was when it was mentioned by the commentators and thn when our coach reveive the red card - which was shown.

    When seem on the offy highlights in slow motion, it was a bad error by the ref and a massive turning point in the match. Especially that we conceded the penalty very soon afterwards.
