Does any QPR fan on here seriously understand Redknapp's plan?

[MYU]

The plan right now seems to be to drop out of the top six.

[StoweyR]

Yeah, and it hurts like hell.

It might be Arry is too scared to set out an attacking team and instead each game he sets the team out to nick it one nil or draw.
My only conclusion is that everyone thought in summer Arry would walk, why after being manager at spurs and linked to England, would he want to work in the championship. He stayed most probably as the board and him came to the conclusion that the club would go straight up. After the joke of the last two seasons where our defence was atrocious, he set the team up defensively and was paranoid not to get beat. Until recently this worked but now we are being found out by other teams and the forward line which was never dealt with is now becoming an issue.
I think he's done ok, he's stabilised a sinking ship. If a forward or two are brought in in the window then it's game on.
Arry sets out his team as he's scared of losing but that's because we've put so much pressure on ourselves about going straight back up, next half we need to relax and as some said let our footballers play football. Still reckon we will do it.

Big name striker next week and three or four straight wins and everyone will be moaning again cos they aint got nothing to moan about. Mark my words. Tony will not let us slip away from the top two, and will open his wallet. We have a great squad, we just need goals. If charlie wasnt injured we would of won today

Since Mclaren left we have gone downhill pretty fast and since he joined Derby they have gone up hill pretty fast, coincidence??

Totally agree about the set up and why it's being pursued. I hope, as you say, that the plan is understood and will be delivered. Sometimes though it seems it's falling on deaf ears.

Harry's just waiting to jump ship when Fat Sam gets sacked.

HR is here for the money, plain and simple.

As for what he is up to, my theory is that he is playing brinkmanship with the Board. He wants obscene amounts of money to try and buy his way out of this division and TF and the Board are quite rightly not giving it to him. So, he is trying to make his point by showing them how our squad is so hopelessly devoid of ability to score goals that he really needs the cash. And he makes sure of it by going out and coaching them to pass the ball back to the halfway line any time they get within 40 yards of goal. Oh, and when he brings on an untried youngster to try to make his point in a bore draw, said youngster promptly bangs in the winner and never gets near the first team again.

Just my theory.

so your saying he's throwing games??

[dsqpr]

I'm saying he is intentionally setting us up to play in a way that is boring in the hope it will help him to prise money out of the Board. That's not quite the same thing as throwing a game.

Interesting theory and has legs. Why does this squad so obviously struggle?

I don't think it's a coincidence that we are playing crocked strikers or none at all, and putting youth team players on the bench, just before a transfer window. It all seems very familiar for Harry.

Could be onto something there.

Probably looking to do some big money deals to get a few brown envelopes in the old sky rocket.

[Yousef]

I hate our Tiki-taka.

[Yousef]

I actually think Redknapp is stifling our players natural ability to attack.

I'm very critical of Carroll but we have seen him move the ball quickly forward be it very rarely, BAE was once one of the best attacking left backs in the PL now he doesn't even cross the half way line, Barton sitting very deep, Austin being unsupported when we are on the counter attack in the 18 yard box.

This is the set up of a team trying not to lose , its pathetic we see positive possession become negative in the final third This is not the players at fault this is down to the managers instruction.

We do it the hard way.
