I really do despair at times. 23:23 - Nov 21 with 13276 views | Snipper | I've seen many posts on facebook over the last few days, and especially tonight, saying that Holloway has to go. Even saying that we should never have got him back. Yet the same people want Gerry Francis to return and to bring Tony Pulis with him. I don't particularly like the situation that we're in but, WE DON'T HAVE ANY BLOODY MONEY!! WE'RE GOING TO BE IN THIS MESS FOR A LONG TIME YET. WE HAVE A £40M FINE HANGING OVER US FFS. LET ME SAY IT AGAIN, WE HAVE NO BLOODY MONEY!! GET FRANCIS IN, GET PULIS IN, GET CHARLIE AUSTIN BACK FFS. WE HAVE NO FCKING MONEY YOU DIMWITS 😡😡😡. | | | | |

I really do despair at times. on 23:44 - Nov 21 with 5695 views | bosh67 | Yup. We are what we are but we have to stop the habit of losing a lot of games in a row. That has to stop. I said we needed more width but didn't realise Ollie would then drop both strikers and have about 6 wingers playing in almost every position known to man or beast. Baffling selection tonight. Yet we have to accept that we are what we are and half the team is out. Baptiste and Robinson, two players struggling with injuries and lack of games have had to be ever present week in week out. | |

Baffling selection tonight." It was actually quite effective until 30 seconds before the H/T whistle. After that we might as well have all gone home. We were set up to prevent goals, not score them. We could still being playing and Derby's keeper wouldn't have got his gloves dirty. | | | |

I'm sure I had that on me chips last night. Speaking offline to DistortR (I won't tell them any secrets....) and it is a shame Ollie doesnt trust the younger players enough. They should have been bled into the set up more than they have so that the inevitable Championship injury list doesn't leave us so short of squad players who can step up. Having a big squad is worthless if they're not trusted to step up, imo in the championship a 20-22 yr old shouldn't be on the books if they don't get game time and you're better off chucking an 18 yr old in than keeping these boys hanging on forever. I know they'll be paid very little but why bother frankly? I'm not slagging Ollie overall but his use of youth has always been a worry really , a win against Brentford and we're back on track of course. | | | |
I really do despair at times. on 01:30 - Nov 22 with 5507 views | timcocking | I bet if you surveyed all QPR fans, the percentage who'd think Ollie should go now is about 1%. Unfortunately, these gimps are the 1% who never fcuking shut up. Anybody who types a football comment on facebook can be nothing other than a t!t to begin with. Pay no attention. | | | |

I'm sure some sexy manager with big ideas would be better in some peoples eyes, they wouldn't care as much and probably wouldn't do a great deal better with this squad but we're at the time of year again when different begins to look more exciting and better | | | |
I really do despair at times. on 07:55 - Nov 22 with 5190 views | CiderwithRsie | Completely agree with the OP, and in any case Holloway is better than given credit for (and has done enough for the club over the years to deserve a bit of loyalty.) But given that we have no money, it seems bit odd to spend what little we have on Wheeler and Bright and then never play them, while simultaneously frequently playing Smith or Sylla who thrive on crosses. | | | |

my worry is that they will become demotivated if there isn't a clear pathway from youth to first team, there must be a reward for good appearances as opposed to giving caulker a game because he's paid a lot. Karl was saying how wonderful England looked with the youngsters in........... | | | |
I really do despair at times. on 08:18 - Nov 22 with 5130 views | TheChef | The moral of the story is - don't read the comments on Facebook. I'm a much more sane man as a result. Suffice to say whenever we win, there are say 30 to 50 comments. Whenever we lose, it's easily 80 comments or more. That tells you everything. | |

To para-phrase (badly) Tom Cruise to Sgt Dawson in 'A Few Good Men':- "[QPR fans], I think there is a concept you better start wiseing up to...[Ollie] is the only friend we've got.." [Post edited 22 Nov 2017 9:30]

Yes, that queue of managers that want to work at a club that has an enormous record fine hanging over them, no budget, tiny ground with crap facilities and a rented training ground is really massive.... [Post edited 22 Nov 2017 9:54]

I really do despair at times. on 09:50 - Nov 22 with 4949 views | SimonJames | Given that we're 18th in terms of goals scored and only 20th in terms of goals conceded, we're doing pretty well to remain 16th in the league. And even if Barnsley and Reading win their games in hand and push us down to 18th, there would still be only 3 points separating us and the 6 teams above us. ...so pretty much the mid table that we expect to be. | |

100% That's the QPR way, batter the to teams and fall down to lower oppos. Those that dont understand haven't been around long enough and seem to congregate on the FB Rangers sites. Best avoided. | | | |

You need to be friendlier to the fellas behind the counter mate. I think you are right, but things are much better than they used to be. Shodipo / Furlong in particular can feel hard done by. | | | |

Precisely put. You can bang on about finances all you like but there is zero joined up thinking with the resources we do have. We have a huge squad full of players of roughly the same quality playing positions that don't fit our tactics. | |
