I don't want Marti sacked either, but I am considering the possibility that another loss could be the end for him. I think this is the worse we've been since we've come back down from the PL? We all know the context, but as I've mentioned in my previous replies - do the decision makers see it as we do?
You could be right regarding the next three games, but I suppose it depends how other results go? If we win and the teams around us lose, great. If we lose and they win, then we're really starting to look cut adrift.
I think Marti being sacked would be the season defining action, I just wonder if this game is the decider for him?
He really struggled with injuries, which was unfortunate as I think we could have done better. I do recall the football being really pedestrian at times. As with a lot of people who have come through the doors at QPR in recent times, he talks a good game.
I know it’s bad at the moment, but for me the time I felt most despondent about Rangers was during our last few stints in the PL. It felt like we were play acting at being a Premier League team. I found everything about it thoroughly depressing. That disgusting badge really sums up that period - NW’s league winning season aside - it’s a time I’d happily forget.
As crazy as it sounds I still really enjoy going to Rangers, it’s not about the winning, although it is great when we do, but it seems to be a bit more of a complex emotional attachment. It’s tied in with our sense of identity, family, childhood memories, a sense of place. If it’s all about the winning then you must be clinically insane to support QPR.
I’m not giving up my season ticket just yet. Even if we go down this season, I’ll still be there.
As awful as we have been, given we’re about half way through the season and the points needed to get out of the bottom 3, it’s definitely possible to turn it around…but we’ve all watched this side.
If you skip to 7:31 David McIntyre says other clubs looked at him and said no. He says they spoke to people who had watched him and were told 'he was weak, he was slow, and he wouldn't be cut out for Championship football'.
This tells me two things. First, in relation to your point, the Luton game was the exception. As 1JD said, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Secondly, it sounds like we've relied too much on data and overlooked the old fashion practice of actually watching a player.
This tentatively links to BurnleyHoop's point - I don't think this is an issue of 'psychological suitability'. I think it's simply about his footballing ability. Those glimpses of footballing ability are totally eclipsed by his lack of effort and application. There isn't a single player who's good enough to justify Madsen's level of application.
His signing is indicative of everything that's wrong with QPR. It's the footballing equivalent of Holloway's quote about diving into a barrel of tits and coming out sucking your thumb.
