I must admit to not attending today's game, I just can't stand the heartache. What finished me off for this season was the first half disgrace at Palace and also seeing SWP play. It struck me that perhaps Ramsey has an ego or complete clueless like the rest of them at our shambles of a football club, that somehow his coaching skills were so miraculous he could get SWP to resemble a footballer. All he did was put us at a huge disadvantage and we were well beaten before we started. That did it for me, and I swore that stupid loyalty would no longer mean I keep wasting my hard earnt money watching that shambles of a team. At least no end of season tension, we will be dead and buried long before then. |

Made the right decision today and stayed at home, didn't see a cup shock happening, that is QPR actually winning. Our FA cup record over the years is truely awful, why do we even bother. Most of the players couldn't be bothered either, a mate had my ticket who supports Dagenham & Redbridge, and we reasons even they would have beaten us today. Just the league relegation battle to look forward to now, how do we improve our away form. I don't honestly think Arry knows what to do, the players just look beaten before the end of the game on our travels. We have a chronic shortage of striking options and he was wasting money on Sandro and McCarthy rather than bringing in another striker before the season started. Now he needs to bring at least two loanee strikers in but the whole squad looks poor. Today showed that, no one out of the first team really making a case for a starting position. It looks grim at the moment and with WBA and Palace likely to see an improvement in form under new managers I just can't see 3 clubs below us come end of season. By the way, Happy New Year to all Rss fans, sorry to be such a miserable git. |

Awful game today, really need to beat Swansea now otherwise the Christmas/new year period a complete disaster. Can just write off the away games, the players attitude away from home just stinks, beaten before they start. Hopefully a few useful additions in the transfer window, could do worse than Carlton Cole, give Austin a target man to play off. Not much money available for old Arry to waste, so it is only likely to be other clubs rejects, but it would be good to see Townsend back on loan from Spurs. Finding it hard to get excited about seeing either Defoe or Robbie Keane in a QPR shirt. |

Much better over the last 3 games, they now seem to have a system and a plan, and the players are showing some fight. A much better team since Suk Young came in at left back, and Dunne replacing Ferdinand. Austin has found some good form and his confidence must be high. Not sure once Barton and Mutch are back whether it will improve the team. Henry has surprised me, really didn't think he could perform at this level but not looking out of place. Just relieved we didn't get stuffed yesterday, and unlikely to get anything out of the Man city game. Just need to make sure we don't drop points from the likes of Leicester, WBA, Burnley, and Palace and scrap out of the bottom 3. It is going to be a long and tough season but certainly feeling more hopeful after the last 3 games. Greeno was great yesterday, on top form and kept us in the game. |

At last Redknapp finally awoke from his slumber, perhaps finally realising his job is on the line, and he has taken Fernandes for a mug long enough! When the manager finally shows that perhaps he does care, the team responded and we saw some rare passion and an exciting game. Was it enough to save him from the sack? No, not in my opinion. His premier league record for us is woeful, 5 wins, 10 draws and 18 defeats. It is a cruel game, but Redknapp bought the players, this is his team, and they are simply just not good enough. Players like Fer and Caulker got in the losing habit last season, Sandro can't last a full game, and striking options are thin on the ground. Surely Redknappp 's time is finally up, he can take his place in the Sky studios, and someone can try and salvage something from this awful mess and get the team organised and playing with some pride on a regular basis. |

The only consolation for me was that I didn't pay on to attend the game, but had a free ticket through the kindness of a West Ham mate. I had access to the legends lounge, met Phil Parkes, and watched the game from a padded seat right on the halfway line. That's where the enjoyment ended! The game itself was predictable as a typical QPR away performance under Arry, clueless, spineless, and embarrassing. West Ham played with a real sense of purpose, made good use of the flanks, and have real pace up front. We have no goal threat, too slow in percession, and don't play as a team. Once we went two down, heads dropped and old Arry looked more bored than angry. Clearly unable to motivate the players anymore, even Fernandez can't keep failing to see the obvious, we badly need a change in team manager. If he ran his airline like he runs his football club, he would be bankrupt by now! How the hell can Fernandez talk of a long term plan with a manager who will be 70 next birthday. If Redknapp stays in charge it will be one long painful season and certain relegation, Fernandez must make the obvious decision now before its too late! |

Pleased with the point in the end, great free kick from Kranjcar, looks fitter than last season and carrying less timber. The defence looks very weak, Isla had a nightmare and Ferdinand looks like he should have retired last season. With these two playing we are always going to be up against it! The midfield is solid enough and we have pace, but suffer a chronic lack of striking options. The midfield are all going to need to chip in with their fair share of goals. I do think Austin has it in him to be a premier league striker, he can finish, is good in the air and has a terrific work rate. He just needs more support. No other club in the league has less strikers on their books as us, I just don't understand Redknapps logic here, or selling Simpson. I just hope Ferdinand picks up an injury and Onuoho gets reinstated to the team. As for right back, Isla really does need to sort himself out, he was woeful yesterday. Its going to be a long and painful season at times, but hopefully we can grind out enough points to finish 17th in the table, always an optimist, me! |

Our Arry knows what he is doing, these plans and strategies and forward thinking is for the younger managers. Old Arry knows if you cobble some players together it will come good eventually. Sod having a clear vision on the right team, formation, and set pieces, leave that for the youngsters. Just need more players, chuck a few more players into the mix, not sure yet what position we play them, whether they are any better than what we have, but good old Tone will back him. Warnock had a plan, a basic one, not sophisticated, but at least had some idea of his best team and how they would play. old Arry never looks any further forward than the next game, the players look unfit, unorganised, and de-motivated. Something has gone badly wrong, and I predict our points tally won't be in could figures by Christmas, call me a pessimist, but I predict a disaster this season, come on Glenn, sit down with the old boy and see if he has thought it all through, is there a cunning plan!! |

Very disappointing and Arry will no doubt persist with a formation the players don't believe in, and also continue to pick his favourites! The extremely poor attitude for a local derby, and so many players out of form and lacking confidence so early in the season is a major concern. I hope Fernandez keeps his hands in his pockets and refuses to fund any panic purchases. Make the management team work with what they have, get them fit, motivated, and organised, and pick the in form players. Its not rocket science, but why Dunne over Onucha, and if Fer isn't match fit, why play him? Poor Faurlin will hardly get a look in, and Mutch was so poor and shouldn't just get picked purely on the money we forked out for him. Too early to panic, but if another 3-4 games in, and we are still win less, and getting outplayed, Arry will need to ditch his 3-5-2, go back to a 4-4-2, and start picking players on merit and not just his favourites. Its going to be a long slog this season without making life harder for ourselves! Hoddle may not have to look far for his next management role otherwise. Yesterday almost felt like a return to the Mark Hughes days, when the team looked uninterested and clueless! |
