Afternoon Thai Well its been such a laugh on the qpr forum, all that falling out, arguing, endless posts on sackings and negative predictions we've forgotten all about you lot. Good result against Man U though I was genuinely suprised at that as I thought you would get absolutely thumped. Personally i think Hughes did the kid in the sweet shop bit. Too much money available so he signed 465 'quality' midfielders and some old crocks to play up front and at the back. Massive selection problems trying to accommodate them all so we have a continual rotation of players in the wrong positions, a complete blind spot in starting SWP and Park added to a horrendous disciplinary record and eventually he lost us the fans, then the playing squad and finally the board. Some key stats on us under Hughes - - We never ever ever ever won away under Hughes.Thats over 10 months. - He never ever ever ever got us higher than 17th in the league - We continue to top the fouls conceded table by quite a margin - We have the joint worst red card record in the Prem - Only team out of the 92 English clubs yet to record a win this season - We get genuinely excited at the news that Keiran Dyer might return in defence - Signed M'Bia who has since admitted Hughes didn't really want him, and he didn't really want to move to us - Sold our top striker last season (Helgusson) and signed Andy Johnson as his replacement - The Rob Green fiasco..... Need I go on? Suffice to say normal service will now be resumed and the squad will start to perform albeit with a third of he season gone. Its never dull....
What's normal service? It's not winning in the PL as that has not been normal since your return. Need to help me out a bit here mate
if it is harry, and whoever it is you'd have to expect its been sorted out or why sack hughes the day before a match, lets just remind everyone that he was unable to rescue southampton from relegation after an equally terrible start. at spurs it was different - they'd only played a handful of games - he had a squad of players in place that just needed a kick up the arse to get them into the top half. at qpr, he has big names and big egos on big money who don't have big talent - they have long been a disaster waiting to happen. will harry see this and and not take the job? or will money talk, as so often is the case with both the r's and harry... either way, they've sacked hughes at least three games too late in my opinion - that could prove a fatal mistake come may
Get Briatore back to manage them like he used to do. http://www.flaviobriatore.it/en/biografia.html#/en/profilo.html
I don't think we need to worry about QPR. We're now ten points ahead of them so it'll take quite something for them to overtake us now. I could be wrong (I often am!), but I think them and 'Arry are the least of our worries at the moment.
As you well know its not all about the winning for us! Its the looking good with lots of expansive talent whilst losing that marks us out from you mid table obscurity bores. Tell me you didn't enjoy our end of season dust up at Man City? Looking good, goals, red cards, a fight and we lost and yet won. Its the QPR way, you wouldn't understand that with your solid and steady manager (only 1 !! you need 3 - 4 a season ideally) and workmanlike squad. Please do try and keep up. A small side bet here that we finish above you.
Poor old Birmingham. First we take their manager then this. Reading Flv's biog it sounds like he really did think he was the manager http://www.flaviobriatore.it/en/biog...2Fprofilo.html "In the course of the years, he co-buys and manages the historical UK football Club Queens Park Ranger's" LOL
I only saw the last 2 goals and loved both of them as Utd didn't win the league The fisty cuffs was a bonus I must admit and have missed that aspect of your game this season. A small side bet here that we finish above you. - Now that is brave but I wont take you up on it as you might need the money for a whip round if you get relegated at the end of the season Not sure you will go down but once again I don't think you will be far from the trap door.
Its actually quite interesting now as it could quite honestly go any which way from hereon. 'Arry will hopefully bring a honeymoon effect up to Jan when he will try and buy the lad Defoe & Dawson and yet another entire squad. Tomorrow I'm not expecting much but Sunderland away on Tuesday needs to be a pointer as to how we go forward. We're only 5 points off at the moment which isn't too big a gap IF we start performing. Either way its bad news for you lot I reckon Wllhe bring Barton back...hmm........
'Either way its bad news for you lot I reckon' eh? don't understand that. while this is interesting, we just need to worry about NCFC.
Get the home form sorted as happened at the end of last season and you may just sneak survival, if it doesn't happen quickly I think you're screwed. My reckoning is you need another 34 points maybe. It's a big ask even from the end of November with just 13 home games remaining. It is feasible that some away points will be collected on the way but most of the remaining games don't look like returning many victories unless there is a radical change in the team performance.
I think itll be a low survival points haul this season as us Reading, Soton , Vanilla etc etc all looking v poor
my guess is, with only 13 home games remaining, by law of averages, even with a huge upturn in home form, they will require to win at least 3, probably 4 away games between now and the end of the season to make up for the short fall in points. they won't win all their home games which would give them 39 more points so lets say they win 6, draw 4, leaving 3 defeats (which is pretty generous considering how piss-poor they've been so far), thats only 22 points to add to their current total of 4 (sorry, getting very clinical now!) - so they will need to find at least 14 points on the road to get to the milestone of 40. tough, very tough. they've basically wasted more than a quarter of a season. they'll need top 8 form between now and the close of the season to stay up.
I don't understand why in certain circles its assumed any new manager, possibly Redknapp, can turn it around for QPR. Who says they have good players? So a high price tag and wage means good or better? To be honest I think they have some pretty awful players. I would snap up Hoillet (spelt correctly?) but I can't think of many others who impress apart from, on their day, Jamie Mackie and Taarabt. I haven't seen Granero so can't comment.
so harry saw the qpr gravy train going past and fancied himself a bit...he'll fit in well... not in the slightest worried.
Well I would suggest that Cesar, Hoilett, the new & much improved Taraabt, Granero, Faurlin, Diakite and Mackie are all very good plus Park too. The fact Hughes continued to freeze them out or play them out of position is thereason we are where we are. However our defence is shambolic and signing AJ&BZ was a joke
