| Julien speaks 18:53 - Jan 24 with 986 views | stainrods_elbow | https://www.qpr.co.uk/videos/0 I have hardly hid that I'm not convinced at all by this manager, but, surely, people will agree this interview is just so deflating. Just repeats his 'we have to learn' mantra, without giving any insight at all into WHAT we - and as importantly HE - is learning. His inability to even acknowledge the collapsed 2nd half and self-defeating backfootedness that in the end handed Wrexham the game is seriously worrying. He just looks in a comfort zone to me and speaks in the same cliches again and again. We'll see what Coventry brings next time out, but 'I think it will be difficult for the players' is hardly fighting talk, is it? How does that rally anyone? I wouldn't back him to 'find a solution' right now if a memo reading 'this is the solution' were taped to his head! Meanwhile, I've given up asking for standards because this coach, and this club, just don't show me any. Hope everyone goes out tonight and does lots of enjoyable non-QPR things.

O please - where did I say he should be 'slagging off the team'? Please pay my thread at least a modicum of respect. I'll explain it again to you as best I can. I was asking about what the team - and what JS - is learning, in the absence of any expressed content in regard to same. I was suggesting that his inability to acknowledge the team played the entire 2nd half too deep and invited Wrexham on (according to many views expressed here) is worrying - obviously, it was beyond Tyler to ask him about it either. Finally, I was pointing out that it was hardly a drumroll of encouragment to tell us/the team a week before Coventry that the players will find it 'very difficult'. If you'd care to respond to my points properly and share any insights into them, I'll be delighted. If not, you could just go on attacking your fictive image of me, and I'll ignore it. |  |

I sort of expect that Julien will just be here for one season and will move on in the Summer by mutual agreement, most likely to a French or European team, and we will be looking for our next manager. We might even be lucky and some French team will pay a bit of compensation to take him off our hands. [Post edited 24 Jan 19:19]

I think all we could hope for is for JS to admit he didn't manage the substitutions well. Disappointing he didn't do that. |  | |  |

Which is what I mean: We never learn what he's learning - or, indeed, if he's even learning anything. It would be lovely to have a club interviewer who actually asks the manager how he's getting better and how he assesses his own performance, but I guess it's more important to feed him leading questions like 'is it now very important to clear our heads and look ahead to Coventry?' that let everyone off the hook! And then people wonder why we're so inept/mediocre, week after damn week! |  |

| Julien speaks on 19:52 - Jan 24 with 399 views | Wegerles_Stairs | I just don't get what people see in him. The style of football is uninspiring (boot it up to Kone), we're heading for our usual position in the table and his famed ability to manage three-game weeks has yielded another two points this time round. Even winning on Tuesday would make today slightly more bearable but he couldn't get a goal in 180 minutes against Oxford. The collapse since that first half against Leicester (even before the injuries) will only continue next week. The thought of him being in charge next season is very depressing as it will be more of the same. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I don’t think being condescending to another poster is necessary Stainrod. We all have our views and should be comfortable sharing them. |  | |  |

Yeah, it's actually the other way round, mate! Go back and look at his post -'how many times does it have to be said' etc. I was trying to do a favour by explaining my points to him again in case he had anything constructive to say. Hope that clarifies. |  |

Thanks for the clarification Stainrod. I guess I read it without any personal history between you both and just a viewpoint. I just take a managers comments as a necessary requirement, I’m sure they’re equally fed up with doing them and you can only say so much without sounding the same week in week out. We’d probably all complain if we didn’t hear from them. |  | |  |

If that's the case (for you), I don't know where that leaves your infantile replies. [Post edited 24 Jan 20:33]
