JFH thinks he's still at Chelsea 13:01 - Mar 6 with 16847 views | richpr | JFH has ruined any chance of reaching the play-offs by his ridiculous squad rotation and picking a completely different team every week. Confidence breeds from winning. We deservedly beat Birmingham then he completely changes the midfield and attacking formation v MK and we lose another winnable game. Madness. He thinks he's still at Chelsea with a big squad of internationals. How can he justify that team selection - especially the midfield where the combination of Toszer, Henry, Luongo and Chery has repeatedly failed. Was Hoilett injured? Polter did ok v birmingham and then he is dropped - is that going to give him confidence - dont think so. | | | | |

JFH thinks he's still at Chelsea on 13:11 - Mar 6 with 10556 views | TGRRRSSS | He's never managed at Chelsea, he's managed lower down so don't think it's a Big Time charlie thing really. I assume he didnt have all that amount of resource at Burton that he could rotate all that, so don't think his past at a big club is relevant really | | | |

JFH thinks he's still at Chelsea on 13:14 - Mar 6 with 10531 views | Jigsore | pinch yourself man, there never was a playoff push all I can think is he's trying different combinations in anticipation for next year. It says in Clive's match report some of the players like Polter and Phillips were feeling a bit peaky too but obviously it was a pretty insipid display all that said you'd still probably have to label Hall's injury as the moment it all went tits up which you can't really account for | |

JFH thinks he's still at Chelsea on 13:15 - Mar 6 with 10528 views | richpr | Thanks - I didn't know that. Still Regardless of that, JFH team selection with Tozser and Henry in the same team is just too much for me to bear | | | |
JFH thinks he's still at Chelsea on 13:20 - Mar 6 with 10510 views | richpr | agree about Hall but it was the midfield that failed to serve Washington properly. Long, high balls to a forward line that can't head the ball is becoming our speciatlity away from home. Long balls are just a cop out and shows the defenders have no confidence in the midfield. Bring back Faurlin - he's been sub for a few weeks. | | | |
JFH thinks he's still at Chelsea on 13:24 - Mar 6 with 10499 views | richpr | If we had beaten MK Dons and Fulham, we would have been on the tails of 4 or 5 very average teams like Cardiff and Birmingham - so we would have been in with a shout. Agree that it is definitely all over now with this squad of players. | | | |
JFH thinks he's still at Chelsea on 13:25 - Mar 6 with 10495 views | themodfather | the whole squad this season has under performed , no manager can motivate em and i blame the players , on paper this squad should have been top 6, we are mid table and mediocre. we clung to harry too long, appointed ramsey when he was not ready or up to it....brought back warnock and then appointed JFH and little has improved and he's had time to get ideas across. meanwhile tony talks of new grounds....ummmph. | | | |

JFH thinks he's still at Chelsea on 14:29 - Mar 6 with 10261 views | dodge_stoke_r | To be fair, he has a point. That middle part of the table from 6th to 16th/17th has some very ordinary teams in it. And if you look at some of the recent games against some teams that we should have competed better against, and that were very winable: Wolves Fulham Bolton MK Dons Thats an additional 10 points that were very much there for the taking and promotion push would have been very much on the cards. | | | |
JFH thinks he's still at Chelsea on 14:30 - Mar 6 with 10258 views | QPR_Jim | Yeah unfortunately they had an enforced break last week due to unforeseen points. JFH's rotation policy has a lot to answer for. | | | |
JFH thinks he's still at Chelsea on 15:00 - Mar 6 with 10186 views | isawqpratwcity | And the games against Ipswich, Wednesday and Birmingham probably produced 6 points more than we might have expected. So let's stop revisiting loads of previous games and saying "Oh, if only..." and just take the OP at his basic statement that this last game meant all the difference. Prior to this round, we were 11 points off 6th place and two of the clubs between us and 6th had games in hand. I reckoned that even if we won all 12 of our remaining games we might still miss out on a play-off spot. So let's wait and see. I'm predicting some, if not all, of the play-off teams will beat the 80 points we'd have had if we had won all twelve remaining games. Our play-off chances were Buckley's. | |

JFH thinks he's still at Chelsea on 15:13 - Mar 6 with 10132 views | Northernr | That's the issue with being a midtable side, which is what we are. We're not, as some seem to believe, under performing. This is us. The point is rather lost with the sensationalist Chelsea headline which is total nonsense. Hasselbaink has never managed Chelsea, and hasn't played for them for 12 years. Most of his time at the club pre-dates Abramovic so we're not even talking about the same Chelsea during his time there. It's bullsht to start bringing that up now, although not at all surprising. He's also being hammered for not picking players here which the OP readily admits he had no idea weren't available. Here's a point that perhaps is worth debating. These are the page impressions (every time you click and open a new thread/story etc) on LFW for the days after we beat Ipswich. About 90% of all our traffic is message board. 2016-02-06 45349 2016-02-07 35802 2016-02-08 35199 Here's the same stats for the days after we lost to Fulham. 2016-02-13 55927 2016-02-14 43335 2016-02-15 45270 And here we are with the stats for the days after we beat Birmingham... 2016-02-27 42616 2016-02-28 34284 2016-02-29 34985 Now would somebody care to debate in a none nasty and sarcastic way why after good home victories not only are people not on here saying anything about it, they're not even clicking on here to see what other people are saying about it? Lose a game, however, and the page impressions jump by up to 10,000 per day and we get sensationalist threads denouncing Hasselbaink, Ferdinand, Hoos and anybody else - often posted immediately after the final whistle by somebody who wasn't at the game. It's like there are QPR fans just waiting to pile in on their own club, almost disappointed when we win as they have to hold off for another week. Fcking ghoulish. | | | |
