I don't want to give anyone a PTSD flashback but we did actually sign Shaun Wright-Phillips!
Where has that come from?
One of our worst ever signings. Never cared about QPR. Had a good debut I remember and then never, ever performed again. It also really annoys me that after being so utterly rubbish for QPR, he scored the winner for us against Chelsea and didn't even celebrate out of "respect" for his former club.
Agree with all your comments and it was very disappointing but worth pointing out that before they scored the second we looked like the only winners...so I take comfort that we are starting to gel, the boys still have confidence, everyone's working hard and we won't go down.
Obviously we all want more than that, but we are where we are and we all know how we got here!

You mentioned SWP and I immediately had flashbacks to August 2011 which must have been one of the darkest months in the history of QPR.
I have never criticized a player for being useless. After all it is not his fault it is the fault of who bought him and who has picked him to play. As long as they give 100% that is Ok with me.
We have had many players that have not been good enough but most of them have tried there best
But when you have a highly talented player that simply does not care I get very pissed off
Most of you will not remember a player called Ron Abbott. He was a bit part player in the great team in the mid Seventies. A center back or defensive midfielder.
Although realistically he was not all that bad he simply did not have the class of others in the team (Bowles Francis Thomas and most of the rest.) So when his name was read out before the game some fans would boo or even worse laugh. ( including me.). But Ron would always give 100% and you could see him being cut up when he made a mistake.
Then I realized that I would give my right arm to be Ron Abbott. We were both about 6 ft tall, ok in the air and useless on the ground. so after a while when his name was read out before the game I would cheer my head off. the other fans near my would think that I was crazy or maybe a relative. but since the I have never criticized a player that was not good enough not even Joe Lynch.
I'll take a useless player who gives 100% over prima donnas like Wright-Phillips and Bosingwa, who may be talented but are overpaid and don't care, any day
All I ever demand as a bare minimum is effort. If you are losing 3-0 and being outplayed you still keep running, you keep tackling, you keep fighting.
