Tony Tweets on 07:28 - Feb 21 with 7523 views | Devon_4_England | I say bring it the fu€k on. This season has been far from a disaster and we need to win tomorrow and go on a run. Yes it's been pragmatic and dull at times but 3rd in the league at the end of Feb was more than we could have hoped for as we started against Wednesday back in August. The team need to show some fuc€ing bollocks and some bloody passion to want to win and start fighting back instead of bitching as they did against Reading if we go a goal down on Saturday.

ha ha ha ha h ha getting costs down! Not a chance thats been one of Harrys aims and not a chance he's been asked to do that. The wage bill is a collective responsibility between the last few managers, the ceo and the owners. Fernandes looks like he has gaged the mood of the fans quite well and put this ot to keep everyone behind him, I'm not sure this was the most sensible thing to say an hour before a Harry Redknapp press conference. He is right thought, a big few weeks ahead and time for players, manager and fans to stand up and be counted | ![](/images/avatars/1922.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

as neither a Redknapp apologist or critic, i've got mixed thoughts. to manage to offload some of the deadwood as Harry has done is nothing short of incredible - and he has drastically reduced the wage bill in doing so, and therefore deserves a great deal of credit - i'm looking specifically at the likes of Granero, MBia, Park etc. But, I cannot escape the feeling that despite all of his good work, we are still a little... ...underwhelming? at present, and with the squad at his disposal he should be doing a little better . You can rightly suggest that many players like Hoilett, Kranjaer and co have failed to deliver as expected, and Harry cannot be blamed for that, but there is a nagging doubt that Harry still doesn't know which players to pick for which position, doesn't scout his opposition properly and is therefore reduced to making drastic substitutions at half time, and, for all his good work in removing some of the crap, has filled it up again with one gratuitous signing after another, Chevanton, Oneyu, Bnnayoun are absolutely signings for the sake of signings, and having 8 loan players when you can only have 5 in a match day squad is verging on farcical...

Wise words. If all us amateurs can see what needs changing then obviously TF is even more entitled to ask Harry "What the hell are you doing?" Or he reads this message board. | ![](/images/avatars/1658.gif) |

Tony Tweets on 08:45 - Feb 21 with 7234 views | queensparker | Well, he can only be relentlessly positive for so long. They all did a great job in the summer, put the squad back on an even keel, and then the owners agreed to Harry's requests to go out and get 10+ more players and we've arguably got worse. Definitely time for a bit of stick instead of carrot. | ![](/images/avatars/1909.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Your'e right about the match play but I was answering the pant pulling down quip as you seem to agree that post was wrong In reality the job here should have been a 3 year job but the owners understandably want it done asap as we all do making it far more difficult leaving very little time for mistakes that can always happen over a season | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

We have had some bad luck through injuries . If our rivals could take out 4 of our squad Faurlin , Simpson,Austin and Phillips would have been popular choices. The fans that have jumped on Redknapp early are the ones who dont really like him as a person anyway . The rest of us are just like TF we are behind him but our now saying " ok you have got us in contention lets see you finish the job " . | ![](/images/avatars/1443.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Jeff, why can't Redknapp be blamed for under-performing players? Isn't getting performances out of players precisely his job? Surely there's more to being a qpr manager than simply signing a load of players every window and hoping for the best? Aren't managers supposed to manage? | ![](/images/avatars/1599.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Tony Tweets on 09:15 - Feb 21 with 7120 views | adhoc_qpr | Good tweet IMO. Shows that although we are still in the promotion hunt, Fernandez is well aware of the badly deteriorating performances and realises our highly paid squad is under performing. He surely can't help but notice what Burnley are doing on a shoestring and Derby via sensible loans (Maiga vs Bamford....) in comparison. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Jeff, Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the BEST post I've seen forever on the forums, and I wholeheartedly agree. Harry has been sorting out Hughes' mess, and before that probably, but... ... it has all been very underwhelming...
