Didnīt the team play well against Birmingham?

It was a decent performance at most, which petered out in a poor second half. Nothing to get excited about. And it certainly can't cancel out the other 17 games under Jimmy where we largely haven't turned up. Nor the drossball served up by the PE teacher this season and last. Or the horror of endlessly losing Harry's bonus games away last season....... Cumulatively punches in the face by team and management aren't conducive to cheering your lungs out. Only those who inhabit the playground playing QPR top trumps are likely to do that...... Especially, as I say, if you have yet to be persuaded that Jimmy can rebuild the team.

Maybe the endless, ceaseless s hit we have to watch might have something to do with it? Only the handful of happy clappers who bang on on here can be pleased with what's served up.

These happy clappers as you call them are the ones who mostly nether go to a game.

I agree in most of what Alanwycombe said, you travel away and most often see familiar faces, the issue ,if there is one, is that we have a core of around 1200 who travel away to most Saturday matches (a little depleted/less for the midweek games) and know how to support the team away from home, and it is different from being at LR, but every now and then we take 2500/3000 and the others aren't used to the 'away day mentality'

In my book when you go away the team is always under the kosh, us the fans need to raise our game in order to assist the team and instill some self belief especially at the current time as our management team seem bereft of such a thing. Support the team from the off, as Alanwycombe says we do not expect to win every game especially away from home but sometimes, just sometimes, following improved performances you'd expect better effort from the players than what we saw yesterday.

I went to MKD when we played them in the cup, 9000 R's reported to be there and yet only 150 or so stood and sang (just behind the goal), yesterday was worse. The Spurs game in question was in fact the third away game v Spurs in recent years, we only took the top tier allocation of 1900 and it was dire from the off, no support, my brother, eldest son and I were asked on three occasions during the first half to sit down and shut up by fellow R's so in the end we did, went down early for a half time beer, second half support was even worse only brightened up by the incident with the Palestinian flag man!(need some distraction when your 4-0 down!)
Not sure what the answer is long term other than the team winning more and the feel good factor returning.

Fans that travel away frequently approach the day differently than those who go occasionally, the match is often just a small part of the day, meting up with mates, maybe a train journey, a few beers, something to eat, having just a laugh on a day away from normal life is what its all about, others I expect travel away on a few times each season expecting to win with Barcelonaesq football.

Just my opinion

My Word. Only at QPR!!

Ok,ok. Thanks. But he hasnīt even started the rebuild, thouroughly.

The fact that, as Sotonsuperhoop says in another thread

Lets face it we all know what's going to happen next week, 4 local derby wins in the last 47, we will lose, hope I'm wrong, but hey JFH is here to stay

might explain to all but the Top Trump players on here why folk are, such we say, a little glum.

[Hitman34]

Just back ........ Unbelievable over 3k of fans and 2900 of you were happy to sit on your arses and moan at every missed pass instead of backing your team ...... What a joke , why go ?
Away games used to have a cracking atmosphere win or lose , wtf has happened?
Get behind your team !!!

Oh shut up you tw@t.

These happy clappers as you call them are the ones who mostly nether go to a game.

But I for one am just as passionate as you about my club!! Do not forget that. Besides, one day Iīll be there..

Indeed, that was not many wins.

Ok, as it happens I never boo but what is transition? Is transition playing an OAP at left back for us all to cheer when he gets run? Is transition constantly pumping high balls to Washington so we can get excited when he hasn't got a cat in hell's chance of winning the header? And is transition changing the way we played against Brum, where we actually looked like a team getting somewhere at last, to the hopeless pattern of play we were supposed to go bananas over yesterday?

[Rangers77]

Transition is having one p iss poor left back as the only defender on the bench. Then, when a centre back is injured, the right back playing left back moves to right back and the centre back playing right back moves to the centre, so one enforced change results in three changes....... Why wasn't Hill on the bench? Transition is shifting Luongo to no10 where he can't play (and says so) from the middle where he can play. And moving Chery from no10 where he can play to the wing where he can't.

Ok 77, thanks mate. All clear now..........glad that's sorted!

Fell out with our away support when I was given a front row seat at West Ham last season , when the game KO'd I had to sit down & have a worms eye view cos according to the steward I was talking to we were the only club he can remember coming & not standing! I put it down to an ageing fan base .

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Sh!t football. It's not rocket science.

The other week, Ipswich at home I think? We had a goal scoring chance after 35 secs. Crowd was instantly up and voiceferous and it pretty much continued all game. You get a chance or some really good play and again the crowd responds.

We have played such poor quality football over a period of time, of course that's going to make the crowd flat. Yes the crowd should get behind the team, naturally, but if people are fed dross over and over again it will take its toll and we're now at that point.

[corbray]

I was at the brum game and the atmosphere there was the best I'd heard in a while, really loud for the most part!
It'll get louder as time goes on and the club re-establishes itself, the club has been an absolute laughing stock for god .... 5+ years at least so I guess its pretty understandable for fans to just give up, especially after the team has. This time next year I'd like to imagine that we'll be in a stronger position than we are now, both on and off the field and IMO there's a good chance of that, sure JFH lost but performences have certainly picked up

No, that looks strange. "issues" like this should be asked on the forthcoming fans forum.
