I see we are one of the favourites to get relegated, only Charlton, Reading and Barnsley are a shorter price to go down. I hope we don't struggle again but even 4th from bottom is safety, just hope it doesn't go to the last game at the Baggies!
No matches are easy really as everybody always says so August was never going to be a walk in the park whichever 6 teams we were up against
Ironically we play Wigan at home again in the 5th game; a repeat of last season when we finally won after 4 opening defeats. I wonder if history will repeat itself?
Personally I think if we can just improve on our start to last year most fans will be happy with that. Huddersfield will be in their first away game at this level for a few years and could take some adjusting so we may catch them at the right time.

Why aren’t Millwall lower odds than us They got rid of Gregory one of their best players They just about escaped relegation last season They’ve signed nobody so far Morrison who is old is out on loan to Shrewsbury but he chipped in with goals That has annoyed me

Because to an outsider we were poor at the back end of last season (3 wins in the second half of the season) and have released lots of key players. You highlight Millwall losing Gregory but somebody who doesn't know the finer details of QPR will just look and see a whole host of first teamers leaving. Bidwell, Cousins, Lynch and Wszolek along with the exiting loan players Cameron, Hemed and Wells and that looks grim. They made 207 appearances between them last season.
We know those players probably weren't that good and it's worth the risk to try and overhaul the squad but on paper we look like a side low on experienced players at this level and low on form!

The start might be difficult but the end of the season is just as difficult. Of our last 6 games 4 of them are away ( Boro, Wigan, Luton and WBA). The draw could have been kinder
Thing is we are in the same position as Ipswich we’re And look what happened to them It’s going to be a tough season But warburton hopefully can keep us up So chill out until the season starts boys and girls

Stoke City are winless in each of their last nine matches played on the opening day (D3 L6), the longest current such run of all sides within England’s top four tiers.
Here come QPR.....
Edit: I also notice for the second season in a row we are away from home on both the first and last games of the season. Surely it should be one at home, one away? It seems a little unfair.

The last time this happened before last season was the 05-06 season!
I really don't know how to feel about this season. Yes we have a good manager for this level but we don't seem to have much else. I just hope I'm proved wrong!
It does seem like a tough set of teams in that first month, and not a good finish either, but their are more 'better' sides this season so not surprising. So difficult to be optimistic? We have made what appears to be good signings to date for minimal outlay, and a striker soon we hope; so even if it is tougher, I too am optimistic....
