After last night's efforts... I'm gonna be blunt
Qpr 1 Sheffield Utd 1.
I hope this is wrong but I'm not fuelled with optimism
We need to sharpen up else this will be a cut throat time for us.
Total rehaul needed on Saturday.

Come on boys, surely you all know that the Championship is a real tough place and no result is 100%......today we went to a lower level team but how much worse are they then some of the better teams. lower level teams beat other higher level teams.
Rangers were not at their best but a draw away from home against Sheff Utd is not as bad a being suggested. Yes we all want, and some expect 3 points but it is not as easy.......all want to see from a team is that they work hard, every one of them, and I think they did that.
Some harsh comments & similar to what was posted about our Ipswich game when they were far better than us & was always going to win if their players performed, and they did, even if we were at our best. |  | | |

A point, rot stopped etc. But I’m amazed, frankly, to hear so much positivity around that.
Sheff Utd are gash. I don’t know if it came over enough on the stream, how bad they were, how dead the ground was. How much they were there for the taking.
To see us give up our ambition and settle in for a point after an hour was soul destroying.
Stephan himself says that oh the first hour it’s two points dropped but on the final 30 it’s one gained - well, is that not on him? Didn’t make a sub until 70. Brought fcking Frey on again while Saito and Smyth hung round with us. What are we defending here? A point to keep us 16th?
I thought that was dire today. A lot of people whose opinion I trust in the away end felt the same. And then literally on the first peep of the final whistle you’ve got the same social media influencers out and about telling you what a terrific result that was. |
I suppose I'm relatively fortunate that I mostly spend my time not watching QPR. I have a season ticket but couldn't go last Saturday and was out today, so have only seen the result.
I might be more objective than you - a point away from home is usually seen as a decent result...but that assumes you win your home games. So the man who was supposedly hired for how he manages three-game weeks gets 1 point out of 9. I think he got 3 points out of 9 the previous time. Objectively, that's not great.
I am fascinated by how this is going to go. Stephan is Nourry's man with Nourry's squad yet we don't seem any better than last season. Marti was a very effective scapegoat as it turns out. | | | |

Agree.
How is a 0-0 to a team in the bottom 3 ever a “good” result? It’s fair to see it as “okay”, “not the worst”, “meh”, but “decent” or “good”…how low have our standards fallen?
16th might be parring the course for our budget, but Millwall and Preston have the same or smaller budget and they’re punching up there. Luton last year, others in years gone by. Why can we not punch above our weight? And, remember, we’ve spent £18m in the last 16 months on transfer fees, miles more than in previous years. TV money and the second batch of Eze money enabled it. Should we not expect some progress? Cifuentes achieved better than this with a far far weaker squad, which cost less to run, and certainly had less transfer money on it.
Standards. Let’s have some. |
I think I see it differently. I'd love us to be doing what millwall or luton we're doing, and there's no reason why we couldnt. I just don't think the sky is falling
We have been consistently mediocre for a long time now, I agree we are below the standards we should be setting for ourselves and we should be pushing to change that. But I'm also grateful we're not shtting the bed like birmingham last year. We aren't sitting in league one like Huddersfield or Bolton. And thank God, we aren't in the situation Sheffield Wednesday are in. It could be a lot worse basically.
And I know this wasn't directed at me but "meh" is exactly what I'd call getting a point today |  | | |

Standards are very inconsistent in the championship and is why the players play in the championship, Hunter..... | | | |

Which is fair. Entirely fair.
It’s not the same as calling it a decent or good result. My reaction today was very “meh” too. Upon reflection, I feel we should be setting higher standards.
I think the last decade plus has worn a lot of people down.
Where I stand is that there has been a lot of noise from the current leadership about how much better a job they’re doing, from some online profiles reinforcing that, how much money we have spent compared to past years, and we’re still sodding 16th. Cifuentes had Dykes and Armstrong, and then Celar/Frey for two seasons and achieved this (and better). For all the money spent, should we expect better? For all the words, is anything really that different?
And I’ll add, I’m happy with our ownership, well, Ruben. Certainly in the camp of “better the devil you know”. The debt to equity transfer can never be under appreciated. I think FFP and PSR mean this isn’t on him. It’s on the leadership. I felt Les and Hoos did a good job for the first 4-5 years or so getting the wage bill down from £70m to £17m without us dropping through to league one. After that, they seemed to lose their way and any sense of what we were about or what we were aiming for. Now we have someone who is extremely untrustworthy, who has spent a lot of money and says it’s going well…and we’re where we’ve been for years. It’s a bit disheartening. Parking the character traits and behaviours, I’m not sure the Lionel Messi of the football back office world is that much of a Lionel Messi. And I’m worried Stephan is turning out not to be as good as I’d hoped he’d be either… |  | | |

Not intended as a criticism of you, Ted, but if after 11 years in this division, the Eze money now largely spent, and a not in considerable amount gone on transfers over the last 18 months, if after all of that we're happy with a 0-0 draw at a team who have lost all but one of their home games this season, having also failed to win at Sheffield Wednesday and at home to Oxford, then I'd take that as a pretty sad indication of the level of ambition at the club these days.
And that's not a criticism of you at all, the manager, and I guess many at the club, seem happy with it too. |
Well okay what you say Is fair enough but I'm afraid I've become stuck In a state of indifference In regards to our club.
Of course I want us to win, but for me now I'm just glad we've got a couple of weeks off from QPR.
I hate It when we lose, I'm a bad loser and when we don't actually lose I take that as a form of success.
I've basically become disillusioned with football, I don't know which way the club are going or how things are going to end up.
The last time I was at Bramall Lane we won 1-0, If I'd been offered a free Chauffeur Driven lift to Bramall Lane today I'd have stayed at home Instead.
Drawing away from home for me has become a form of success result wise, on top of that I honestly believe that were not very good at the moment.

Maybe it is me but if we were in the bottom 3 and mid table Sheffield United visited, I bet they would win the game. That is a feature I hate about us and we saw it against a crap Southampton when we lost. We lose to Southampton when they are good and when they are bad. Now Norwich have sacked their manager I suspect they will get their first home win against us, it's what we do. Norwich should still be poor in a few weeks time but no doubt we will manage to play even worse. Whenever we play a poor side the worse we play. |  | | |

I said at the beginning of the thread I thought that we would win despite all of the changes that were bound to happen.
At half time I said that the game was there for the taking. However Julien had other ideas, bringing on Frey with 12 minutes left.
The QPR of 5/6 weeks ago playing well has disappeared. We have given the play off places our customary little tickle and then dropped down the league table. We are QPR and that is what we do whichever Manager/Head Coach we have.
It really isn't good enough and not a part of the project!
But after a home thrashing and home defeat I am ok, not happy, to head off to the international break with an away point and a gutsy performance. |  | | |

Wasn't at game today Clive but from what I saw online, it seemed an interesting game and tbf I thought at times we performed well.
I did raise the home fan v online fan thread recently and as a home ever present and occasional away fan, I felt the online fans generally more negative than the fans at the game.
Seems today, it was the other way round.
It is difficult to judge games though I feel, when you at one end of the ground.
For instance at the Swansea, could not work out exactly how we scored our goal from being right down the other end, so I felt my views were less likely to be as accurate than those at home.
Would say myself Sheffield Utd are in a very false position. I thought it was decent. Surprised the view of those that were there was so negative. [Post edited 8 Nov 23:00]

Totally agree but the team selection and substitutions all but killed off the possibility of the win.
Without the gutsy it's likely the third defeat of the week. | | | |

I think you’d do well to lose to them. No fcker else has.
I’ll shut up now, nobody needs more of me, but that was pis rank today. It’s a poor result that does nothing for us against a sht side there for the taking, and we’re going to be told we should be glad to get it. Fck that. | | | |

Would say team selection wasn't bad. And subs i would question definitely Frey and possibly Vale, with Smyth and Saito more likely for me.
How many years do we have Frey until. Was a very strange decision to extend his contract when perhaps in all reality we possibly were aware, last season would have been his peak. An amateurish decision to make that call, which 99% of fans would not have done themselves. | |

You are right but we are in pis rank form at the moment, the QPR of 5/6 weeks ago would have hoovered up 3 points today.
It did something for us we got a point. Things would have been far worse if we had headed off to the international break on the back of a another defeat and a gutless performance.

Great post Ted.
I too , like many have been so beaten down by shite and at best mediocrity over the past , oh I don’t know …30 years , that a draw and a clean sheet often feels like some sort of success.
The mixed feelings about today have been peculiar this evening.
About 10 minutes into the second half I was screaming at the tv for us to step up the bloody pitch as a team ,by 15-20 yards as we were just getting deeper and deeper . Sinton then mentioned it in commentary 5 minutes later and that was that. We just sat in . So infuriating, when they look so fragile.
Weirdly , us dropping off completely ,coincided with Dembele going off .
I thought he was our most dangerous outlet today . It’s a ridiculously low bar admittedly . But he picked the ball up and drove at them and they didn’t like it.
Well done to Ben Hamer . Made the saves he needed to , but best of all came for crosses , smashing everyone out of his way in the process . That gives a defence more confidence immediately .
We battled and worked very hard . Chair especially put in a hell of a shift , to help Field ,without really doing anything going forward .
Players playing out of position across the back 4 , so positives there.
But still can’t help feeling that it was too safe , and too cautious from the head coach regarding in game management.
The subs today were regressive and safe. Understandable to a degree, but why not put some fresh legs and pace on up front to win the game?
They were vulnerable , but must have rejoiced seeing Frey coming on instead of Smyth for example.
On a side note I saw someone on here saying they think JS might be a lot harder and sterner with his players than we think ? Silent assassin was the term used.
Not sure about that , but the last 2 matches we’ve seen 2 players subbed and openly very unhappy it . Not a good sign .
Anyhow , not as happy as some on here but certainly not as angry as some either . |  | | |

Did we extend Frey before or after signing Kone and Burrell, I cannot remember.
If after then it was certainly bonkers. | | | |

IIRC correctly, extended Frey more than once since the original barter trade of melted cheese for goals.
It’s completely bizarre unless he has some form of dodgy pictures or similar leverage.
Meantime Kolli has been alienated, Lloyd is on loan somewhere and we dispatched Celar to Germany, so Frey is what we have left until January now.
I’m not saying they are great options BUT they are better than Frey is currently, they provide more than only one option plus they are usually available for most games. Who knows - we might actually make money from them if they played - which I kinda thought was the whole ‘kin idea of this amazing project. |  |

Well said, Clive. Mirrors my view from the away end, it was poor. I thoight the whole standard of the game was terrible, basically long throw after long bloody throw and a million corners. I was aghast at the subs, I thought Dembelle looked our most likely to make something happen, and from that moment 0 0 was always going to be the best result.
I am concerned about the management here. Not convinced we look a happy ship, so.many players not at their best, with even those who played well today making at least one major error or brain fart during the game and I am sure that is because of the random selection policy. No-ome can get any rhythm or consistency.
What he's done to Kone is also baffling. I can't shake the feeling that we should be doing so much better with this squad. |  | | |

Quite a poor game all round really, seems to be quite typical of the championship these days.
Defensive changes worked so credit to JS for that, Hamer was excellent and just what we needed, whole back five looked much better.
Tactically going forward though we were poor, constantly sending in long high balls and long throws which United dealt with easily and we were not sharp or keen enough to play for the second ball. We often just gave the ball back to them.
I found it rather frustrating as the high ball approach clearly did not work but when we did get it on the floor and tried to play a bit we had some success, bizarre how the players and coaching staff can't see that.
A point away from home is ok but United were very poor as well.
Felt for Kone, he worked his socks off flogging a dead horse, he can't be enjoying that role. | | | |

Agree
Nardi did well last season. Runner up in player of the season.
So dropped originally for a guy with zero professional playing experience who was shocking in all games he played. Walsh hung out to dry also.
Nardi's confidence and faith in QPR consequently shot and played likewise. Admittedly Nardi has been poor but if you hark back to the game model, we have in improving players value, we shot two goalkeepers and now playing the emergency stand in, who is near to collecting his football pension !!!
Add to this our most consistent goalkeeping performer, one league down, and has got rave reviews for eighteen months or so but is still out on loan for the season.
Walsh should have got a loan and we start with Nardi and Cooper on bench and if Nardi has bad start, Cooper comes in. Walsh gets professional experience to start with at a lower level.
Game model in action - not ?? [Post edited 8 Nov 14:43]

Prior to this season, Walsh had played 26 senior games. Not as many as Cooper, I admit, but how much would he improve with another 20 games in L1? |  |

Call me old fashioned, but a draw and a clean sheet away up north is surely never that bad a result. Our team is young and raw, but not lacking in talent. It was never going to be smooth sailing. | | | |

Not convinced we look a happy ship, so.many players not at their best, with even those who played well today making at least one major error or brain fart during the game and I am sure that is because of the random selection policy. No-ome can get any rhythm or consistency.
What he's done to Kone is also baffling. I can't shake the feeling that we should be doing so much better with this squad. |

Absolutely this. I'm really concerned at how we are managing to have so many players out of form at the same time, although I didn't see yesterday's game and we did sound *a bit* better. |  |
