I know we all like to piss 'n' moan ( piss 'n' moan blues by the Gourds - great ) about driving in London, but it seems like every other street has a burst water main and temp traffic lights. What on earth would it be like if we had a winter like '47 or '63 ? What's it like where you are ?
I believe it’s two years this month since Christian Nourry took over the helm at QPR. I thought it would make an interesting midweek thread on what the thoughts were of progress so far. Personally I am in the cup is half full camp and believe we have turned the ship and are now heading in the right direction below are some main pointers from me:
Positives
Squad - Recruitment has improved and we now have the best squad we have had for years and it seems a good blend of youth and experience and looks a much happier dressing room. For the first time in years we have players who are now worth looking at for teams higher up the food chain. We are not (yet) in a relegation battle and still with an outside chance of the play offs.
Manager - Maybe divides opinion but I’m still happy with the progress we are making under Julien Stephan who was a thoughtful choice and the same profile to continue the work done by Marti.
Academy - Plans to upgrade to Cat 1. Seems to be a positive move although only time will tell on this one.
School End - Removal of away fans from lower tier and having our own fans there seems to have certainly helped improve our home form.
Negatives
Better communication with fans. Good to see we are now communicating better with injuries but maybe more sessions with fan groups.
Performance team - This does need to improve the overall condition of our players compared to other clubs does by the naked eye seems very poor not just the injuries but the overall fitness of the team.
Pitch - God knows what happened there, it would be good if the club could let us know what the problem was and what is being done to fix it.
Finally a big shout out to our owners who continue to write the cheques to keep the lights on. Not only that but then converting the debt to shares so it is not shown on the balance sheet as club debt.
So for me this is still very much work in progress but we are in a much better position now than we were two years ago.
“Undisclosed fee” to Grasshoppers. Quite a nice statement from Nourry, more so than for usual departures. Clearly quite a big character in the background.
Noticed a couple I think have disappeared. Can't seem to find the one about Eddie Howe and resources that Staindrod's Elbow started. Don't think I have a filter on. Sure there is another one but can't think what it is
Ain’t looking much better ,and then they watered it before the game , south arifca road side looks like it’s been ploughed ready for next years crops to be sown , goal area bald in most areas puddles whe. The sprinkler really got got going, it’s embarrassing , is it down to an impact injury ?
I recently folded into good old fashioned nostalgia and have started collecting the EFL sticker book and i was wondering if any other loft for words posters are also collecting?
