This is a must win really But they were 2 -0 up by 20 mins at our place Bowen really gave us the runaround too I think it will be straight forward 3 or 4-0 win to them Can’t see it going any other way I’m afraid

I agree that I can't see us picking up anything. Our away form had improved this season up to Christmas but has been back to the usual QPR woeful standards on the road since.
It's not must win just yet though.
Surely Cameron has to start if he is fit enough even for 60 minutes.
It will be interesting to see if Hall comes back into the side over Lynch.
I imagine Wells will start over Hemed.
Wszolek did ok off the bench but Osayi-Samuel has done enough to keep his place. I can't see both of them playing unless he drops Eze and moves Freeman into the middle.
Only consolation is Rotherham have Norwich If Rotherham win we could be only 4 points clear of bottom 3 Tuesdays game was so important it really was,nobody seems to realise that is the game that could of as good sent us down We would of been 13 points clear not 7 points,I’m not looking at our results I’m now looking at reading and Rotherham’s Bolton and Ipswich are gone and Millwall are tough cookies and will beat us anyway so they will be ok 3rd bottom is now what we got to try and avoid
If we fail to beat Bolton next home game we deserve to be playing league one football next season

Reading, Millwall, Rotherham and Wigan all have only 1 point between them so that plays in our favour because they all have a lot to do to catch us.
For us to go down they all have to swallow up that 7 point deficit.
I don't deny 1 or 2 could but for all 4 teams to catch and overtake us is a massive long shot.
As I've said a few times for us to go down we'd need to get almost no more points and, as bad as we are, that will not happen. We will get some points. We will be safe.
I personally wouldn't even be that upset about getting relegated, it gives us chance to actually enjoy a possible promotion season and come back up with a bit more optimism in the air and a winning mentality. The simple fact though is we are not going down this season.
The bottom 4 or 5 have really tough games too But I don’t want to rely on other results to stay up Let’s have a Saturday for a change to end on a positive note Unfortunately it won’t be tomorrow
I know things are wrong when the players have to be told by McClaren that "attitudes need to be right, we need to be committed".
Shouldn't having the right attitude and showing commitment be a given. The players need to look at the loyal support they get from QPR fans who travel many miles to both home and away games if they want to understand what it means to show commitment and positive attitude.
For any QPR fans going to Hull tomorrow I applaud you. After our recent performances I hope that the club appreciate your loyal support.
For any QPR player who wears the Blue and White Hoops whether that is tomorrow or in the future the minimum I expect is for you to show commitment and the right attitude. If you are not prepared to do that, then I don't want you at our club.
What has happened to the players though Back when we had that winning run,the players worked for each other When we lost the ball in the area 5 or 6 players were closing the ball down and stopping the opposing attack I think Rangel has made a real difference,he was like a leader and someone they could look up to,our team lacks older players and like Shaun Derry and ray Wilkins they were a huge influence to the whole squad and that’s what we lack,the person in the dressing room to kick the team up the backside McClaren showing the team notes he’s written down and formations isn’t going to get into the players that well

For me the majority of our players are poor and have been for several seasons. We have also lacked a real leader on the pitch. TF has tried to blindside the fans by talking about new stadiums and training grounds when in reality we need some quality players.
Holloway performed a miracle to keep us in the Championship last season with many of the players that are still at the club and was rewarded with the sack. He had to use youngsters and some really poor players but managed a respectable finish at the end of the season.
The big difference this season was when we recruited Rangel, Cameron, Wells and Hemed. They are 4 experienced players who may not be Premiership material but were capable of performing in the Championship. Their experience and leadership qualities in key areas of the field gave belief to some of our below average players Unfortunately just as we were playing with confidence and belief 3 of them got long term injuries.Those injury issues meant McClaren had to revert to using the same core of players that were available to Holloway and if it wasn't clear to TF before I hope he can now see that the QPR squad is poor and we lack quality in depth.

Agree with you totally stoatey that the players are simply not up to the task.
Holloway did perform a miracle last season with the strikers he had at his disposal.
We would have gone down this season had we not had a much improved Autumn.
I'm not even sure where we go from here. Yes McClaren is proving rather inept at times but sacking him is not going to solve anything as the players are just not good enough.
Any new manager will have even less tools at his disposal.
As I see it unless we pluck some absolute gems from the lower leagues we will be the Ipswich of next season.
I didnt agree with the sacking of Holloway and I don't think that sacking McClaren will cure the current issues. It might be a cliche but managers need time. We have to stick with McClaren and hope that the board support him in recruiting quality players that can implement his ideas.
My fear is that we won't sign any quality players and that Lynch and Cousins are still picked to play on a regular basis.

Agree 100%. We've had a shocking run but the team is not as bad as we saw against Rotherham. I don't expect anything other than a comfortable win for Hull today but am looking for a far better performance today and in the next few matches. As a club we have some big problems - it's hard to see how we can manage to stay in this league, never mind progress. But life is full of surprises and we're due a good one!

I imagine Wells will start over Hemed.
Wszolek did ok off the bench but Osayi-Samuel has done enough to keep his place. I can't see both of them playing unless he drops Eze and moves Freeman into the middle.
Cameron does start, coming in for Cousins
Hall doesn't, Lynch keeps his place.
Wells does start over Hemed.
Somehow BOS is dropped. In my opinion that stinks, he deserved to keep his place. McClaren sending a poor message.
This is back to the team that was doing surprisingly well last year. Tough on BOS, I agree, but it's going to need a great defensive effort if we are to get anything out of the game.
