Doom and gloom

Lots of using 'if' and 'could' in that post!

It's all conjecture at this stage but there is no way we are going down. No way in a million years.

As I tried to explain after Bristol City last week we may only need 3 more points to be safe, perhaps not even that many.

Yes we may end up totting up 9 or 10 defeats on the bounce and we are on a bad run but we still won't go down as we will pick up some points at some stage.

Do you honestly think we are going to lose the next 15 games until the end of the season?

The going down part I agree with northwest
We could rebuild from the start and use players like chair and smyth who would be more suited to that division
We would hopefully do well and build the fan base back up again
The whole club financially would be able to get back on track and we would then only have players we can afford
Let’s face it without wells and Cameron and Rangel we’d of been bottom 3 and I agree we shouldn’t go down but it’s annoying we’ve dragged ourselves to the bottom half when we was the form side at one stage in the championship
We’re in a situation where we’re not good or bad enough for the championship,we are team that will finish 16th every season
It’s not all bad,we’ve got games in hand,we got past 3rd round of FA cup and nearly went further,we finally beat forest away
It’s just annoying how we could of made much more of this season in the league

We can’t afford a decent striker

Realistically we all knew we would finish about where we are. We had a worrying start and then a purple patch and now we are dropping again but im sure we will pick up and then finish mid table.

With everything thats happened with FFP and taking longer than we would of liked to get rid of the high earners i think we have to re-adjust our timeline for getting on the up, i would not expect a real promotion push until a season or two's time and i think we should aim to make a team that can stay in the prem. By that i mean younger players, and with that we can start developing a playing style that is ingrained in the club from top to bottom. For me i think that is what is needed to stay in the prem, we need to be able to produce a couple young players every few years who can handle being a part of the first team squad.
The problem we have had the last two times we went up has been we have bought loads of players, given them to much money and then no one in the squad really cares about the club or how it goes because they saw a pay day and a stepping stone. If we have a club ethos and are producing young players they will naturally care about the club and not abuse it.

If and its a big if, we can get back to the prem in a few seasons time and we are in a position to stay there while only adding one or two high quality first eleven players then i will take the seasons like this.

QPRsmith that would be lovely if we could develop enough your players to both make the club sustainable and competitive at the highest level - but - although this is the best bunch of youngsters we've had in probably 20-25 years I don't sense any of them are top level.

I also like the idea that the club has a style of play and trains players across all levels to play that way (and hires managers in line with the philosophy) - but - The first team have changed formation 3-4 times across this season and so we seem a long way from being able to do that.

I honestly have no idea if the club is going to head forwards or backwards over the next 12-24 months as parachute payments stop but we become a more settled club at the same time.

League one not to be feared
We can get rid of all the high earners and deadwood
We can build a new young team and develop a new style of football
We can get on loan good championship players or young premier league players and lots of our young players are good enough for league one
Anyway
My mate is a big Luton fan and is loving it at the moment
Last time with Ollie league one was exciting and more positive
McClaren would go if we dropped to league one and the board would fire him if he didn’t walk anyway
It’s all a big if and hopefully it doesn’t happen as dropping down might be a huge risk,but seeing my team win more and a more positive vibe around Loftus Road wouldn’t go a miss
