New QPR

[pintofsmiths]

Are Stoke Mark Hughes's new QPR? Spent a small fortune on mediocre players. Gives us a very large wage bill and how its going taking us down!

You're the first to mention this.

What happened to QPR is happening to us...we show no passion, no game plan, shit tactics, players looking like they don't know each other. Hughes has lost it. I know we're only five games in but look at the statistics, no clean sheets in 20 games or something like that and towards the end of last season we were getting dicked nearly every week. Hughes has to go otherwise we will be having a QPR season, I'm really worried about this season but hopefully Coates will know when to make the correct decisions

At some point it has to be said, and based on where we are now and what's happened to us....it's valid.

Add to that a dreadful pre season of results and games at walking pace in America and it's a whole heap of under preparation

The worry is that we were told we'd concede at set pieces by QPR fans and we have done that for three years under Hughes. Three years. We were told we wouldn't score on them either and that's true too. We concede too many - as they told us but as we all saw but we also don't create much to offset that. And we may have lost all team spirit with numerous fancied dans like QPR did.

At Fulham he did great for a year and then left. Same first year as he had at Stoke.

At Blackburn it was so long ago that you can't count it. Football evolves every two seasons.

He's given us some wonderful moments and deserves 10 games but then all loyalty counts for nought. Relegation is unthinkable.

The Capped One arrives next Saturday and will be licking his lips at and working on attacking set pieces all week. We'll concede at least one there (see pt above) and as we don't create anything we'll lose 2-0 with a second on the counter. That at home, vs Pulis, with the PHWS getting it in the ear from the ProTone brigade will see the knives well and truly out.

We can only hope for our first team played vs Hull reserves on Weds for a morale boosting spanking. Maybe it'll then be different.

For me it's back to basics. We cannot defend when chasing a game so we need to be tight and graft hard to try and get the lead for a few games. Diouf in on wing. Pace and hard work. Adam in alongside Whelan and Allen. Armor goes where he likes. Bony up top. Back 4 and goalie is what it is as today.
