How have things changed so drastically in last ten games 15:54 - Jan 1 with 6852 viewsnumptydumpty

Typical Rangers

From being by far the worst team in the league to , in current form, being one of the most decent in the league.

This has happened on multiple occasions in our past and especially the last five or six seasons.

When can we get it all together throughout a whole season. Was this coming or is confidence such a massive factor in modern day football.

My personal view re the clubs upturn.

Yes some players been adjusting to the league, but I think Marti is the key and the development of group togetherness within the squad is so much better than the last couple of seasons.

Keep going all.

Savour the good timesšŸ™‚

Confidence is a massive factor. So is the sheer randomness of incidents in a match in games between teams of roughly equal ability. Good and bad runs can happen for no other reason imo.

There has been a slight change in tactics. A little mpre pragmatic and a little less total football.

Plus a few of the new players settled into the Championship. Varane being the most obvious, but Morgan, Morriosn and Saito deserve honourable mentions.

And finally a little.bit of luck. Several trams have missed chances against us whilst they were scoring worldies for fun against us in October.

Why stop now, just when I'm hating it

The team spirit and the togetherness are really apparent now as well the camaraderie with fans.When you see Nardi and Varane belting out HI Ho Silver Lining with the crowd you know the team is in good shape.

The grass is always greener.

This. Especially with our team. It amazes me how much a factor this is - we have been so, so brittle in the past. One defeat setting off a run of defeats, which have been nothing to do with bad luck; just abysmal, abject performances. Even in the middle of "good runs" we chuck out a Stoke (a), Hull (a) last season and a Derby (a), Pompey (h), Swansea (a) and first halves against Oxford (h) and Bristol C (a) which are as bad as anything and yet we start picking up points.

Just goes to show the low quality in this league. Probably why Sheff W are only 3 points off the playoffs currently and Millwall are as high up the league as they are. Even Oxford, who chucked out one of the worst performances I seen at this level against us are now FIVE points above the line.

But that was a really good performance today. Got in control with a strong, physical first half and just when you think we have gifted Watford a way back in from Smyth's only aberration of the day, we go straight back up there and score.

Its the gap between us at our best and us at our worst that will baffle everyone - there is a MASSIVE gulf.

Can we go out yet?

Would love to know just how close we got to sacking Marti.
The majority of the fan base continued to be behind him throughout which was refreshing, and I like to think a factor.

I hope that's a real sliding doors moment for us as we look to the future.

Slight change in tactics and new players getting up to the physicality and nature of the championship. The midfield three today gives us a solid formation and the opportunity to break forward quickly, also the form of Smyth is a real positive.

Easy to get despondent about how powerless we are as fans, but the possibility that we made a difference here keeps my pecker up.

Between us and the likely compensation fee we probably averted disaster.

By passing the midfield and mostly going long. More emphasis on set plays. Playing two 'destroyers' in central midfield;, Field and Varane. Both wingers are actually tracking back and doubling up.

It's not pretty or attractive football, but it is effective. I just prefer to watch good football, and this isn't. Needs must, though I suppose.

We desperately need a couple of central midfielders who can actually pass and control a game.

I think we have changed our tactics since the international break, it was much more of a 4-2-3-1 start of the season since the break its more 4-1-4-1 / 4-3-3 with the 10 role deeper in this new fangled 8/10 and the left winger been given freedom to move into ten when attacking. We've become very right side focused with the ball and very solid without it. We've also had a bit of a luck both in game terms and discovering that an 18 and 19 year old who were very much "fringe" at the start of the season have become important key players.

Crikey that's such a negative take on what has been a complete turn around of form and results in last ten games.

We are Queens Park Rangers and these type of runs are as good as it gets at this particular club.

Definitely one of the best runs of form in the last ten seasons and you can only focus on what you believe is not good enough.

With this perspective, you will always be disappointed watching Rangers then !!

Iā€™m certain any board looking at 1 win in 10 and bottom of the league is considering sacking the manager.

We have gone back to what did us good last season and thatā€™s be a horrible team to play against with a some good solid football thrown in
Earlier this year we were all over the shop and to open, our midfield of Anderson and Madsen was like playing with 9 men , I think Marti wants to be expansive but has learned the hard way that we donā€™t have the players to play to attacking football from the off

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 Thatā€™s there thatā€™s two, and thatā€™s Bowles Brian Moore

With the number of players injured, key players at that, I am not so sure that MC's position was in doubt. We are now getting players fit again and we are playing as I would expect.

The Welsh have a word for it: 'hywl'...meaning fighting spirit or according to AI on Web 'a stirring sensation, fervour, emotion, motivation and enthusiasm'.

Yes, tactics important but will to dig in, to fight even more important.

And much improved set pieces...first two goals today.

I am disappointed watching this type of football, but, as I said, needs must. Don't think there is anything wrong with wanting the team I support to play good attractive football.

We won't do it until we get new ball playing midfielders.

I know Jack-shit about football systems, formations and tactics but I would guess that someone has finally understood that initiative = successful disobedience and has changed the ā€˜game modelā€™ into something that more closely resembles a 433 that actually works for the players we have and the manger too.

Probably way too simplistic but feel free to whip me, beat me and call me Beryl - I can send bitcoin to those that deserve it most.

It was a good performance and win today. I have long complained about our home record and it seems we are sorting it out. Very pleasing to beat a team today in the play off picture. However, at the same time as the home form is picking up, we don't now look so good away and don't have many shots on goal to trouble the home team. I appreciate we did pick up two points in the last three away games but offensively we offered very little goal threat in each game. I guess I want us to be good home and away at the same time rather than it being one or the other.
