QPR v Sheffield Weds Sat 11JUL 0 - 3 FT (53pts/now 16th)

Count ourselves lucky there are 3 worse teams than us 
we are shocking at the moment and yes not a lot to play for but it doesn’t bode well for next season and there should be some pride not this excuse of manager and team 
I watched the Brentford game and they showed today how good they are and we will never be like them by the look of it 

I honestly believe the players go out to do their best but when your team is made up of mainly youngsters and several players that would struggle in League 2 these humiliating defeats will continue.

The manager is not an inspirational person and the team play in the same way.

But the real culprits of our demise sit in the boardroom and because of their mismanagement the quality and calibre of player that we can now recruit are not good enough for the Championship. Players like Kane, Kelly Ball and Barbet would struggle in Leagues 1 and 2. Cameron and Rangel are over the hill. Youngsters like Kakay, Masterson and Shodipo are still learning but they are the ones performing and leading the way whilst the so called more experienced players show very little pride in wearing our shirt.

Post Sheffield Wednesday Stats:

We slump down to 16th after the defeat against Sheffield Wednesday

Despite a much more promising opening quarter of the season we are now only 1 place better off than we were after 43 games last season

We won 7 of the opening 12 games of the season and have only won 8 of 31 since (losing 16 of 31)



We have taken 31 points from those last 31 league games, which based on the amounts of points needed to be safe this season (Stoke in 21st already have 46) would be relegation form if we carried it into next season.

We are 8 points above the bottom 3 with only 9 points left to play for. With Wigan set to lose 12 points and the remaining matches seeing Hull face Luton and Wigan face Hull they can't all catch us so I think we are now mathematically safe.

Despite the remaining matches having little importance for QPR, with Luton and West Brom still to play our matches are going to have a big say in who goes up and who goes down

We have only scored 2 goals in 6 games since the resumption in play with Jordan Hugill scoring both.

I agree we can't really dwell on these results but we have to look at where the club is heading, what are the goals for upcoming seasons?

It is probably an achievement to have stayed up despite overhauling the squad and reducing the wage budget.

This is probably a debate for a separate topic by itself, but there is surely only so long we can carry with that being the main goal; to cut the wage bill and tick along.

This will be the 4th season in a row finishing 16th-19th. Eventfully fans won't return, we won't attract new fans etc doing that. I have a young son myself now who of course I hope will grow up to support QPR. It will be hard to lure him in when the clubs primary aim is to hit financial targets and finish in the same position every season. The big clubs will mop up all future QPR fans if we don't offer something more. A promotion season from League 1 is a lot more exciting than another season losing more than we win to finish 19th again. I'd rather have been Rotherham over the last 5 seasons going up and down than QPR. We need excitement.

At some point we need to look to move forward.
Just achieving FFP can't be the target forevermore.
