So after a shorter summer we are less than a week away from the first game of the season.
After a 13th placed finish last season and more in's and out's it got me thinking about what the realistic targets are this season for QPR.
In Place Your Bets so far we've got predictions ranging from 8th to 18th and it would be hard to argue we will finish outside that bracket.
In my opinion I think that after losing our best player in a long time in Eze, it is unrealistic to think we can progress so far we make the top 6. I also don't think the squad has regressed enough for us to struggle.
So these were my 3 sensible targets for QPR this season to try and keep moving in the right direction:
🎯 Concede less than 70 for the first time in 4 seasons
🎯 Score more than 58 goals (our average from a 46 game season in the past 25 years). I can't see us getting to 67 again like last season.
🎯 Finish no lower than the 13th we managed last season
It will be interesting to see if we can hit those 3 targets, and if we do, it will have been a successful season.
It would also be nice to see us sticking with Mark Warburton for the whole season again. We've discussed it so many times but changing manager rarely moves QPR forwards. We are clearly building a team around the way Warburton likes to play, so changing manager really wouldn't work unless we hire somebody who has the same ideals, which would seem a bit pointless.
Do you have higher targets?
Are the targets above achievable?
What are your targets for QPR this season?

As it stands today if Dykes gets injured or suspended we would struggle.
Hopefully they can continue with more of the same in the Championship.
