As you pointed out before kick off kingfisher Boro have a mean defence, they are content with a 2 goal lead, it is game over even with 20 to play. No getting back in to this one.
Hmmmm....wish I was wrong! Same number of corners and the same number of shots on target by both sides; but one is winning 2-0...

Not an unexpected defeat but it is a disappointing game because we were never in it; second best from the second minute.
McClaren will start coming under pressure soon. Although I am positive we won't even be close to relegation danger we got rid of Holloway for finishing in the middle of the bottom half and McClaren - with arguable a better squad - is faring no better overall. 7 defeats in a row puts any manager under scrutiny.
You can't expect to get anything from a game when you defend as poorly as we did in the 1st half.
I agree with northwesthoop that I dont think we will get relegated.
So if we are not facing relegation and our wage bill is reportedly 98% of turnover then shouldn't we be looking at sending Cameron, Hemed, Wells and their high wages back to Stoke, Brighton and Burnley. We probably can't because of their contracts but if it were possible, should we?

We need at least 3 more wins to stay up If one of the bottom teams has a run we will be in trouble Yes we may not go down but we are in the worst form in the league at the moment and that’s relegation form

where is it reported that 98% is on wages?
The figures are avaible from the club and have been posted with Companies House for QPR Holdings as part of their accounts up to 31 May 2018.
In 2017 the accounts showed that our wages were 64% of turnover but have now risen to 98% for 2018. The difference is down to our reducing Parachute Payments and would have been worse if we hadn't made a profit of £2.9m on players.
Paid £4.8m to buy players (Scowen, Baptiste, Wheeler, Samuel, Smyth), received £7.7m (Gladwin, Doughty, Bowler, El Khayati, Henry, Ngbakoto, Reece Cox, Comley, Borysiuk).
You can now see why at the begining of this season we had to sell Smithies and let the likes of Robinson and Onuhoa go.
With no parachute payments available next season it makes the sale of Freeman inevitable! It also means that the likelihood of extensions for players who are out of contract in June 2019 pretty slim. I would think that Hall and Lynch have no chance of a contract extension anyway.
I believe that the The Loft for Words discussion forum started a thread about the accounts a week or so ago.

That makes interesting reading. I think Hall will stay but on lower wages. It makes it interesting to pick up on your previous post about Wells, Cameron, Hemed, etc if we could should we send them back. Personally I think we are missing Cameron he seems to steady the ship in midfield.
I can’t see how anyone can say we won’t possibly go down or in a relegation scrap We’ve got one point since the new year we’ve lost 7 games in a row and a cup game Yes we deserved better luck last few games but most of them would of only been draws anyway We’re not even picking up draws were just losing and that’s it,our defending today was shocking for the goals by the look of it If we don’t win soon or pick up a point the team will lose all belief in themselves and McClaren will have the fans on his back Yes I’m negative but what reason have I or the rest of you got to be optimistic about at the moment I’m QPR through and through like the rest of you and we will have to take it on the chin and back the team no matter what I don’t want to go down with McClaren in charge if we do,the bottom 5 are very poor and that might be the only thing that will save us in the end
