Come on lads disagree by all means but let's not get personal about it. Don't want a repeat of the pistols at dawn episode  |
I suspect it would be like this though...

Just read in the Times birthday list that McLaren is 57 today. Surprised TF hasn't taken the opportunity to announce him as new manager. |  | | |

Interesting stat that re results since the change of formation.
Arguably though since moving to a back four the players have looked a lot more comfortable (Bidwell and Furlong especially) and we've played better football more often. |
We do look better but results haven't been massively different which was my argument all along about the change of formation, was always going to be the same players so results unlikely to be much different |  | | |

I cant be the only person who didnt feel that Derby really did take us apart.
I remember alot of Swansalona style possession play mostly in their half of the field, especially after the red card - and yeah maybe if the red hadn't happened they might've scored, but we had out moments too - and er..... oh yes, we actually got the ball into the box created a chance and took it.
Unlike them.
The fact is following the red card Mclaren failed to react to try and put more pressure on us from that moment on and paid the price.
IN any case he's hardly one for the future and if he makes a start someone somewhere will give him a look, he'll jump immediately and we're back to square 1 anyway. [Post edited 3 May 2018 18:13]

I wasn't specifically trying to speak for you, if that makes you feel better. I thought his comments were without basis and well out of order, but that's just me. I've never claimed to speak for you.
Btw, when you say "we all need", and "on our behalf", who are you speaking for? | |

Just seen a twit passed on as a screenshot
Alludes to Ollie watching the Champions League semi in a pub with him, saying he’s got family issues in Bristol and nothing decided yet but things may happen

I've just listened to the TF podcast. He said successful clubs have stability in the management and stability in the playing staff. How is this being interpreted as him wanting rid of Ollie? |  | | |

Ok, Clive, thanks for the info.
I think that letting Holloway go would be a shame in many ways, from an ethics pint of view. As you say, it would also a big risk -jeopradising stability, team spirit, youth development, recruitment among other aspects.
This year has been my most enjoyable as a QPR fan since 2011 and possibly even going further back than that. There are reasons for that, and many of them are embodied in Holloway, and having someone of his decency, loyalty and humanity as our manager. |
You certainly don't do away games then, of course there's a likely possibility you don't do many games period. |  | | |

Yeah, but to be fair to Brian, he does get the video package and watches as many games as he can. I would particularly cut him some slack as he commentates for expats like myself and provides a less colourless alternative to the BBC text commentary.
Brian tries to see the best in everyone. It's a really irritating habit but we all have our crosses to bear. | |

No, I don't make many games, either home or away. And I am conscious of that. I know it's not the same thing of course, but I do watch a lot of our games and try to find out what I'm missing off-camera. I realise you only get so much of the play watching on the box. So you're right - my comments should be treated in that context.
I feel for Rangers' away fans most days. Most seasons, in fact. Even back in my day travelling with the R's trips North of Watford Gap were exercises in hope rather than expectation. |  |

None of those fancy titles from the nobility for Mr. LB. I'm a lefty and proud of it! 
By the way, how did you get with that coursework you copied from me? Cos I failed. | |

No, you aren't. Given how on top they were they created very little. In fact their best chance was the one O'Neill prevented before being sent off.
Even with my usual pessimistic outlook on QPR I could sense something coming the nearer to the end it got. The camera panned around the derby end with about ten minutes to go and they all looked very worried. Even the commentary just before the goal almost sees it coming.
Seems the ball is in Holloway's court from what I'm hearing. Family issues etc may be an issue. I suspect if he does decide to go then McLaren would not be a shock appointment. [Post edited 4 May 2018 7:54]

See that's where you boys went wrong... you should've failed early doors like I did due to the excesses of dancing in fields etc.
Re-sitting was a blessing... as was knowing people who were two years ahead and had already done all the work.

I think Ollie should stay. I thinks he's taken on a massive job and ticked most of the boxes.
* Reduce the size of the squad
* Offload the big earners
* Get players to play for the badge
* Get more youngsters into the side
* Oh and stay in the division (which isnt easy when you look at how some other teams have had a double relegation in a short space of time).
I thought Saturday had the feeling of that first job nearing completion. He's now got to move onto the next bit which is moulding a team around the new components parts.
I cant wait for next season and seeing more of Smyth, Eze, Chair, etc. Even Shodipo might be back after a stop start season this term. [Post edited 4 May 2018 9:03]

I've gone for the traditional Sambas and a pair of these little beatuies, LB.
Have a great Summer yourself. I'll be on here a lot, hopefully, as LFW turns its attentions to threads about music, sunshine and cricket.

Leeds are on their second manager this season and according to this week's oppo interview Heckingbottom won't last long. |  |
