I think we QPR fans tend to jump to extremes on the back of 1 or 2 results.
After losing 2-0 to Charlton (admittedly also taking last season into consideration) I feel we instantly decided Ramsey was out of his depth. Contrastingly a few wins against relativley weak sides and suddenly Ramsey and Ferdinand are the best thing to ever happen to the club. A loss against Forrest today has however scrutinised Ramsey and Les' position. As fans we need to give these people time and I mean a couple of seasons (providing our position in the championship isn't in peril).
This may not be fashionable but is it even in our interests to go up this year? Yes FFP dictates that we should be receiving premiership funding BUT at what cost? Is this squad strong enough to compete in the top level? Will Fernandes play his usual game of panic buy with big waged players only to go down again with more severe repercussions? I personally feel 2 or 3 years of building work, similar to Leicester on Stadium, training facilities, and a lasting developing squad before we go up is necessary to properly compete.
If we were to go up this season, play offs at best I feel is what we will achieve.
