Lee Cook on the effect of the fans and Marti on 09:51 - Apr 18 by Antti_Heinola
Unless they're called Gallen or Cook ;)
Loved Cookie so much. One of my all time faves. Even Lyndon might have scored a few from his crosses.
That's great, Lee, but could you perhaps enlighten us as to why the team fails again and again to respond to the fans' almost surreally supportive role and actually perform? It almost feels to me as if this relentless emphasis in the QPR media on how great the fanbase is is a deliberately managed attempt to deflect away from the deficiencies of the home performances, but that's just paranoid, right?

"Here at home has always been a tough place for the opposition to come to...."
Not for the last two seasons sadly :(
If we stay up (and I'm quietly confident we will) that has to change.
On a tangential semantic point, why are people always 'quietly' and never loudly confident? Personally, I'd like a bit more of that brashness from our manager (whoever it is), rather than all this relentless 'staying 'umble' faux modesty, in which literally every game is a difficult game, no matter the poverty or form of the opposition.
So, how about 'Preston have nothing to play for, were soundly beaten in midweek, and so we have to show our fans that the time is right to really put them to the sword, like we abjectly failed to do against Plymouth and Wednesday, to name but two of our recent bottled games. If we can't deliver this weekend, when we also have the advantage of kicking off later than everyone else, we deserve to sink, and it'll also prove I have more learning to do at this level than everyone thought (myself included).'
Can't see gutsy honesty like that catching on any time soon, unfortunately.
