Play Offs? Dream on
at 21:13 15 Feb 2025

Dreaming of the playoffs? As the table below illustrates, that’s probably what it is…dream on…

Championship 6th place team by season

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

18-19 54 Middlesbrough No 74 Derby 54 7th
19-20 53 Preston No 70 Swansea 48 11th
20-21 52 Bournemouth Yes 77 Bourne’th 52 6th ( Bournemouth promoted)
21-22 53 Huddersfield Yes 75 Luton 52 7th ( QPR 5th after 33 with 53; finished
22-23 51 Luton Yes 69 Sund’lnd 49 8th. 11th with 66)
23-24 54 Hull city No 73 Norwich 51 8th
24-25 48 WBA ?

Col 1: Season
Col 2: Points of 6th place team after 33 games
Col 3 : Club in 6th place after 33 games
Col 4: Did this club make play offs?
Col. 5: Points of 6th place team after 46 games
Col. 6: Club in 6th place after 46 games
Col 7: Points of final 6th placed team after 33 games
Col. 8: League position of final 6th placed team after 33 games

It’s a mountain to climb for QPR to get to the play offs. Our 44 points total after 33 games is lower than any other similarly positioned team in the last 6 seasons ( Swansea had 48 in 19-20 and achieved an impressive 22 from their final 13 games or 2.46 points/game).
It’s possible but highly unlikely. But strange stuff happens very occasionally.

Villains Who’ve Supported QPR
at 10:53 2 Dec 2024

So…Reginald Christie, who murdered at least 6 people ( including his wife, Ethel) and lived at 10 Rillington Place W12( the road no longer exists; replaced by Bartle Road,near Ladbroke Grove) was found, when arrested in 1953, with a QPR badge in his inside pocket plus “ the tobacco tin in which he collected clumps of women’s pubic hair “ ( revolting; I kid you not: there’s a new book out about the murders). It appears he was a regular at home games .
Any other notable villains in this category ( I mean Rs supporters, not tobacco tin collectors…)?

Is he underwhelming or am I missing something?
I’d really like to be impressed but I’m struggling.

We are not safe!!!
at 22:50 21 Apr 2024

The premature articulation from many that “ we are safe now” is….err, premature and possibly shows that many Rs supporters can’t add up. We are not out of the shit yet. We need more points , two would do for me , although three would be gilt edged, but my optimism doesn’t run that far.
Wednesday appear to in good shape and Birmingham can be unpredictable.
Blackburn and Plymouth are too close to us. At this stage of the season, strange things happen.
I’m not relaxed, in fact I’m still stressed , wary, apprehensive and very grateful for the Preston keeper.

Thoughts post Birmingham
at 10:22 30 Mar 2024

Looking at our record since Marti took over, If we average points per game, it’s 35 over 25 games or 1.4 points per game.
On that basis we would have 54.6 points ( rather than 43) after 39 games which would make us 10th ( where Middlesbrough currently sit…) and long shots for the playoffs.
So ( deep breath…) assuming we are now going to be safe this season ( I think we need 53 points to be absolutely sure and if we maintain the current points per game ratio we should get there) we only need marginal changes to the squad to become a promotion chasing side.
Impressed by Bacuna yesterday - he stood out in an otherwise poor Birmingham side. Good role model for Armstrong who was surprisingly disappointing ( well…apart from playing a part in setting up THAT goal…)
Should Marti play Anderson, Chair and Willpck together - all players who want a lot of the ball? I’m not sure. I guess a good problem for a manager to have.
