Will it be snowing?
No idea on those or the score, lets go for a rot stopping but not wholly satisfying 1-1. |  | | |  |

Alarming to say the least. This was a return to the abject lockdown showings. Many are seeing it as more grist to the mill, but I think there's a meaningful difference between giving it a good go but treading on our dicks however many times and this, where it looked like they've just stopped listening and didn't bother showing up. If they stop playing for each other and the manager then of course sackings and relegation come into play, we're not talking about nebulous definitions of midtable progress any more. |  | | |

Mediocracy seems to be accepted throughout he club and has been that way for years, only punctured by serial winner Neil Warnock and a couple of lunatic businessmen who demanded results.
We should be striving for better. |
Agree with this post 100%. And as fans, I don't think we do ourselves any favours - we assume no other manager would go near us.
I actually believe there would be a strong queue when this post becomes available. We are a London club, have already been in the Prem and have wealthy owners (due to FFP we haven't been able to spend it yet!) I could certainly see Eddie Howe coming here. Seriously. | | | |

Totally agree that we need to start showing some ambition and aspiration. As you say, we're a London club that is (currently) one division away from the biggest league in the world. It's embarrassing how many people have bought into the 'ever so 'umble' narrative in the last few years. | | | |

He might.. to the Scottish Prem. Compare today to his performance in the last two, I'd say a deal was agreed with someone between Wednesday and now. Seemed to be ensuring he didn't get hurt today. If I am right, he mustn't play again | | | |

Compare that to when Rotherham were 2 down to us at HT: their management saw what was wrong and not working and made decisive changes tactically and with progressive subs and it changed the course of the game and we were hanging on at the end. Today we did nothing like that. |
And Cardiff too. I know we won both games in the end, but had a heck of a battle to do so. Never thought for a moment we would get anything out of this game at half-time. Was purely thinking about damage limitation | | | |

Paul - give me a sensible alternative?
We would have to start all over again with no money.
That's another 2-3-4 years down the road to get back to where we are today.
Who would want to manage us?
Another churn of players in and out.
Our club needs stability.
We played 45 minutes of brilliance in each of our last 3 matches.
Yes in the aftermatch of this shoddy performance I feel as badly as any QPR fan.
But let's all remain calm, and no knee jerk reaction.
I feel the same as all of us - not happy is an understatement.
Yes we're currently on 3 successive defeats with a defence as wide as the Grand Canyon.
If there are several more successive defeats - in this manner - then we look at it again.
But we have to be realistic.
At the moment we are 6 points clear of the bottom three.
We're in 18th spot.
If we finish the season 18th I'll accept that.
I'm hoping we'll finish 13th as last year and close to the same points as last season 58.
It's tough for us fans. But what's new? |
Ok I will give some sensible alternatives
Nigel Pearson
Mark Robbins
Paul cook
Keith Curle
Gareth Ainsworth
Lee Bowyer
Karl Robinson
Cowley brothers
Out of that I would go for Pearson as we are in serious trouble this year, if he can come in and keep us up then job done, forget the pretty play we are truly in it and have sleep walked into a relegation battle , Warburton doesn’t know how to change it and ive got no confidence in him to do so, the man never sees out more than 2 years anywhere
8 clean sheets and over a hundred goals conceded is shocking if this was steve Mclaren then people would be going nuts
Les needs to change it because we are not suddenly going to go out and keep 3/4 clean sheets on the spin , this is not the season to be relegated , we have to stay up and make the change
The excuses last week was Bristol city & Brentford are to good for us and we are not in their league
Today we we were outclassed by Huddersfield
It’s all well and good buying young players to sell on but how much are you going to get back when your in league one who is going to pay mega money for a player whose team finish 18th ?
It’s not all Warburton fault , the club is a mess with a losers mentality but I can’t see Les and his team going so we have to address the manager and he isn’t good enough I’m afraid to say
The irony is we were better off with Holloway who had a mix of fighters , and young players |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Had intended to watch this but ended up going for winter walk with the family. By all accounts sounded like a terrible game. Hopefully this is rock bottom for us. I've got a feeling we'll beat Millwall, don't know why but I sense a change in fortunes is coming! |  | | |
| Huddersfield Match Thread on 20:46 - Dec 5 with 1523 views | markqpr |
That was terrible.
On both their goals we didn't even put in a challenge. The first goal was bad enough but to allow them to pass the ball into our box and then leave a player unmarked to slot it home without anyone coming close to putting in a challenge or picking up the goal scorer was a disgrace.
Dieng deserves better.
Once we were 1-0 down I did not see anything about us that I thought would get us back in the game. It was more like we just saw time out until the next defending calamity.
To then blame it on the fixture list that is the same for everyone was pure desperation and a result of arrogance in not being able to see your own failings and putting your hand up and taking responsibility
It's beginning to become a bit worrying now. |  | | |

We are 19th 4 points in front of Wycombe
Anyone still think we are going to avoid the drop this year ? |
Honestly? Me.
Don't think we will go down, don't think we will be in the bottom three at any point this year. Today was dire, absolutely terrible. And if we play like that every week we will go down, and Warburton should and will be sacked.
We have lost three in a row, which is also sht. But in two of those three games we could and perhaps should have taken points off very good teams. There are a bunch of other also terrible teams in this league who are constantly losing but with no bright spots and no performance. I have confidence if we keep playing like we did today that we will pick up points, and perhaps I'm in the minority. Not like today though, that was fcking horrendous.
Lack of a killer instinct? Agreed
Shockingly poor defensively especially at set pieces? 100%
Destined for the drop of we play like today every week? Probably yeah, but I don't think the performance today was reflective of how we have played this year
Looking at the last five games (i.e. What's in the BBC form table) we have 4 points from 5 games. 5 other teams, including 4 who are below us, have picked up the same or less. We are in poor form but so are others, and I bet several teams would swap their squads /manager for ours if given the chance |  | | |
| Huddersfield Match Thread on 20:53 - Dec 5 with 1499 views | eastside_r |
What to say that hasn't already been said. Okay here's a positive.
I think the way that Dickie brought the ball out from the back a couple of times shows he has real potential to becoming that footballing centre-back.
He does need to work on the defensive side but nothing that can't be sorted out with a bit of coaching (stop laughing at the back there.) |  | | |

I don’t know I’m not Nigel Pearson
But he is going to have to play them if he were to take over ( he won’t though) but I think he would have us bloody organised at the back and that is a 100 % improvement on what Warburton can muster | |

Paul - you make some fair points.
But do you have more observations from my earlier post?
Here are some of them again.
1. "We would have to start all over again with no money".
2. "That's another 2-3-4 years down the road to get back to where we are today".
Your new manager surely would want his own players. That means...
3. "Another churn of players in and out" when our club needs stability.
Are these new players going to be better than the ones we've got (no money remember)?
4. "We played 45 minutes of brilliance in each of our previous 3 matches".
We were all saying then if only we could do that for 90 minutes.
Also we are not marooned at the bottom of the table.
As mentioned "we are 6 points clear of the bottom three.
We're in 18th spot" which is ok by me with what we've got - for this season.
(It's our third team by and large in 3 seasons)
In the last 5 years since relegation from the Premiership we have finished
12th (60 pts, 18th (53), 16th (56), 19th (51) and 13th (58) - Warburton's first season.
Odds on we'll finish between 12 and 18.
34 points required (maybe less) IMO from 30 matches.
As said in previous posts - if Warbs loses the dressing room then it would be time up.
Extra thought - just watching Chelsea v Leeds.
Extraordinary how fitter these players seem to be.
Even if we had very poor players - they should be able to run for 90 minutes.
After all it's their job! This surely is the one area where we can improve.
Am I concerned - absolutely yes. Problems everywhere.
But I believe we will survive in this division.
Most of these players in their young 20s will improve to at least make us a top half Championship team.
We've seen what they are capable of doing in those 3 matches of 45 minutes each.
I remain optimistic - even on dark soccer days like today. | | | |

Just getting in from a few pints and a scotch egg, that performance doesn’t feel any better.
No idea how to turn it around but I know the answer doesn’t lie with Nigel Pearson, and even if it did why the fck would he come here?
Some serious mental fragility in this team. After that first goal went in we look like the result has been declare there and then after 8 minutes.
I’m sure that comes with the territory of singing Young players but I think the personnel needs some stiffening up.
Was convinced this was the game (after playing four of the top five) that all our dick swinging would result in a hiding. We need to find a way to match the small and medium fish like we do the big fish.
No answers sorry, only problems. |  | | |

Superb post here Bazz its so sad that when we fall behind its almost game over for some reason.We all knew a QPR goal was required before half time to lift their spirits yet it went the other way and it was done and dusted.
No response after the break is the most worrying IMO we should have fought to the death but threw in the towel .
Have to assume its the Manager not getting the most out of the players or is it the players not giving a shite ,either way its a bad start to December |  | | |

The strength in depth on the bench and within that to play to a different formation and a different style was very telling today. Apart from Ball who added some steel and energy to our midfield, the other four were like for like.
We seem to blood in youngsters by giving them minutes in lost games, because we almost always are playing catch up, what does that mindset breed within our fringe players. |  |

Agreed. We have a young/inexperienced team and they’re low on confidence after a few unlucky results. Warburton needs to lift them again in the short term and the club need to bring in 2/3 experienced players in January. |  | | |

The McClaren team finally fell to pieces the minute they went out of the cup. After a strong spell pre Christmas the wheels were already coming off in the league by mid Feb, nothing to play for, not going up, not going down (or so it looked at that point), young players knackered, a lot of senior players on decent money weeks from being out of contract and with no renewal offers presumably on the table. Capitulation was as total as it was inevitable. Though the mercenaries and the too-good-in-our-own-minds-for-this-club brigade could still get it up for a marquee Sky game.
We're not quite in that situation (very few players out of contract in the summer for one) but the point beyond which there is no longer a sense of communal endeavour (including the fans) is potentially awaiting us in the New Year.
There are some green shoots and periods of good football for sure but all in all the negatives are mounting, some out of our control, some not -
This could have been Amos' year to shine and that may not now come until the last year of his contract (a year to recover, a year to get back up to speed - you can bet that a contract extension is being considered right now), Bright is at best semi- detached and picking his moments, Cameron and Wallace are looking like their days are done at this level. Rangel was probably good for another year and we've missed his experience. Ditto the chronically unsung Mark Pugh who I think would have been resigned in a non Covid year. Manning has gone in circumstances that may not have gone down well with the rest of the dressing room. That's six players (I am counting Wallace out) that we had, or could have had, on the books in August who arguably would be starters in the majority of games. That to me adds up to a whole lot of mitigation if some of it self-inflicted.
There is no way we are getting near the top 6 and yet there are almost certainly going to be 3 worse than us over the piece. Can we get nine more wins and six draws before this is all over? Totally. Is it going to get ugly along the way? I fear so. Do some of the players feel that too, are looking at the schedule, doing the maths and writing the season off when just a third of the way in? They certainly wrote off yesterday's game well before the half hour mark. It felt ominous though the kind of ominous where the destination is 18th rather than Sunderland away.
