I was told that this is the first time we have had a positive goal difference in the league in four years. That would take us back to 2022 and Beales reign.
That must be wrong. Isn't it? |  |

I could easily believe it, due to the consistent early heavy defeats in recent seasons - 0-4 at Watford, 1-3 to West Brom, 1-7 at Coventry.
I'd forgotten what a positive goal difference experience was. I thought our GD column automatically started with minus (-). | | | |

Sounds bang on to me given how generally dire we've been since being top after 16 games that season. |  |

I reckon we should return to goal average ASAP.
No mobile phones, beer five bob a pint, cars had proper exhausts - BLISS ! |  | | |

Christmas 2022 I think. Will include in the match preview stats on Friday. |  | | |

That's pretty amazing, though if you always finish bottom half, and typically start badly coupled with a few heavy defeats makes sense. Pretty staggering in a general sense though. | |

Wow, another stat for the hall of shame! Do other clubs have such an eclectic collection of weird and wonderful runs and occurrences as ours I wonder. It'd be a good idea for a top trumps deck theme. 3 missed pens you say?... Hold my beer! [Post edited 18 Aug 15:36]

When you’re conceding 70 goals a season it’s not easy getting a positive goal difference. |  | | |

Can believe that. But quite a stat - no doubt !!
What can't believe was that we were top after 16 games under Mick Beale with that team of charlatans at that time. Ridiculous stat that was hard to comprehend, given what we know now of many of that squad and what we know about the jumped up PE teacher.
What's that man doing today ?
Surely, he can spin "Top of the Championship" after over a third of the season gone under my watch.... |  |

We've been prone to starting the seasons off with a huge defeat - 4-0 at Watford, 7-1 at Coventry, 3-1 to West Brom etc. | | | |

There's probably a record in there. QPR love getting shit records. |  |
| Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. |

I think we have lost against Bolton and Swansea 0-4 and 0-5 also, if memory serves me right.
My memory is a bit hazy, but think both happened, as well. | |

That was our first two seasons back in the premier league, the Swansea one immediately after Hughes had said we’d never be in that position again. |  |

Coventry wasn’t the first game though.
Our biggest thumping on the first day from what I remember are, Southampton 5-1 in around 85/86 and Watford 4-0 with Ainsworth in charge.
We also lost 4-1 at Villa in 1993. |  | | |

And then when you get to -2, it's another 4-0 reverse. | |

It's going back quite a long time, but we lost 4-0 at home to Everton in 1976 & 6-1 away to Brentford in 1965.
We ended up 3rd in 65/66 & Brentford were relegated! | | | |
