Losing 5-2 at home on is own is not acceptable Losing 5-2 to a team that beat us 4-0 earlier in the season is not acceptable We shouldn't ship 9 goals to any team in any league we are in,forest are not that good and we matched and beat good teams like Cardiff and wolves at home Somebody is to blame for today's farce and the players and especially Holloway need to take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror tonight and wonder why the fans don't bother to turn up and leave the stadium early
I wasn’t there today (as I was having a thoroughly depressing day at Forests neighbours on the other side of the Trent) but I’m going to TRY and put some positive spin on this (if you don’t want to read a feeble attempt on positivity after that today then I advise to skip my post);
- Sounds like we’ve saved our worst home performance of the season for when we’re as close to being safe as we can be without it being official - Our home form before this game has been good so an off day can occur - Our GD is only worse now by 3, sounds like it could’ve been a lot more - Barnsley were the only team (other than Forest) down the bottom who won today - We still have a 9 point cushion between us and the bottom 3 - Burton, Birmingham and Sunderland don’t seem to be able to string any run together - I give up. Time to be miserable and forget about football.

We are not safe How many times do I need to say it We will get drawn back in like last season if we're not careful We have a crap clueless manager who's run out of excuses now

Officially you are correct, we are not safe, but we will be.
Yes we are shocking and yes there is a largely disgruntled fan base right now but we will end up safe because as poor as this team can be we will pick up 2 or 3 wins in the remaining 12 games.
As I've pointed out a few times the points needed for survival is only going to end up in the mid 40's. We may be dismal and playing a poor brand of football but luckily this season there are 3 teams even worse than us. Sunderland and Burton especially won't catch us and Birmingham are on a bad run now too.
The two forest games have really exposed holloways tactics and forest were struggling for goals in their recent games too Tomlin is the fattest striker in the league and we made him look like salah at Liverpool They were just walking the goals in with all the space they were given This result is beyond embarrassing and Its harder to accept because of the previous 4-0 drubbing at their place The last two seasons have been awful and the crowds have dropped big time,loftus road has lost all its atmosphere and you just don't know what to expect First thing next season is to get rid of Holloway and all the deadwood and then start again

You might be including him under deadwood but can I add another to the list of those that need to go, I would also get rid of the DOF (primarily because I have no idea what he does or how he benifits the club). Their is so much deadwood that if we get rid of them all too soon we wouldn't have enough players left to field a team!

Les, Lee and Ian all have a very tough job right now.
As I see it Les and Lee are doing what they can, they are having to cut back budgets and are trying to bring in young players.
Holloway also has a tough job with cheaper players, more 'gambles' to try and work with, more players going out than coming in and suchlike
HOWEVER
Holloway is proving tactically inept. The fact he played the same system yesterday that Forest tore apart 4 months ago is very poor. We for the most part play long balls to Smith which is so poor to watch. He is persisting with a wing back system which doesn't get the best out of Wszolek or Bidwell. I'd shake him by the hand at the end of the season, thank him for his work over the past 2 years but then give a new guy the chance to take us forward in our last year of parachute payments.

I agree that because of the current Business model of the club we now have to lower our expectations and as a result it will make things harder for everyone of us associated with QPR. IMO Lee Hoos has done a brilliant job and is one of the few who cannot be critisised because he has really steadied the ship since the days of Phillip Beard who along with other Board members mismanaged the club and thought that the answer was to gamble the clubs future on white but the ball landed on black. So is our demise and the cause of all our problems down to just one man, is the real villain Tony Fernandes?
