PS v LDC

[writtler]

23 games now

PS - P23 W7 D11 L5 F22 A19 PTS32
LDC- P23 W9 D7 L7 F38 A33 PTS 34

PS narrowed the gap by a point and given LDC's end of season run lastyear my money is on PS achieiving more despite being hampered with players available.

Under Sousa we look more solid. Once he does get players back like Buzsackey, Vine, Agymang, Rowly plus a 2 or 3 quality strikers his record will be more superior to Di Canio.

Support the guy and he will get us up. Don't let any of the directors interfere will his choice of players or team selection.

And hampered by people within the club trying to drive him out for their own benefit.

[crowlehoops]

Agreed

good stats writtler, as people have pointed out with the addition of 1 or 2 genuine goalscorers and the return to full fitness of Buz and Vine, we will have a team capable of challenging for automatic next season, we already have the defense for it. So in light of this, we will have to see if the board are sticking to their '4 year plan' and back Sousa financially in the summer.

For god sake people LDC doesnt work with QPR anymore!! And im willing to bet he wouldnt ever want to come back here again! All these threads comparing him and sousa are a total load of tosh!!!

[writtler]

Couldn't agree more but the anti Sousa brigade keep shoving LDC in our face as though he was some sort of world beater. Simple fact is he wasn't.. Neither's Sousa at the moment but let's see what he could do with some decent players.

[E4Hoop]

Only 2 points difference and without Buzsaky, Vine, Agyemang.

Pointless. Im all for getting behind Sousa 100%, but you cant compare Sousa with LDC.

Does anyone enjoy the football we are playing though it seems light years away from a year ago....we are supposed to enjoy the match just seems a bit dull to me.

Nice stats.

Do you want to run the same report only looking at goals conceded?

i USED to love going to watch us last season, the football was delightful and even if we lost i felt happy because we played attractive football and got value for money. This season has been an absolute rip off, they should be paying me to watch. Only good game this season was preston all the rest have been poo.

[qblockpete]

no comment.

I would say its unfair to compare first 10 of those games we had

Rehman, Barker, Bolder, Nardeillo, Sahar, Sinclair, Camp, Malcolm.

but aye, you fire away.

[KLR]

LET THE MANAGER DO HIS JOB OTHERWISE DONT APPOINT HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Its one thing treating Iain Dowie disgracefully, all I can say is if it happens again to Sousa, then you'd better get used to seeing names of the "calibre" of Darren Ferguson, Dennis Wise & Gary Johnson associated with QPR, because we certainly wont attract people of the standing of Paulo Sousa again.
Our club will be regarded as a corrupt cash cow, lining the pockets of all of the "dubious" characters & their "associates" off the pitch, whilst being a very middle of the road & mediocre force on the pitch, in other words, a complete laughing stock like a lot of people said we were going to become.
If we are still having these discussions in November, a year in to this fine mans appointment, then this is when you can start calling for his head, anything before that is pathetic & not helping anyone, let alone our football clubs aspirations of getting promoted to "The Promised Land"
IN SOUSA WE TRUST.
