Do you remember the Derby Game?

[Mr M]

Was that really us?

A scantily clad woman once sang a song which had the line "if I could turn back time"

If you could at what point this season would you go back to?

For me its back to the Watford dressing room to tell Jim there is a phone call from his mum just before the butt

If only

Sadly the heady days of October seem a long, long time ago.....

13 games played 11 points and 30 goals conceded.....

God, I am pi$$ed off this morning.... :cry:

At 2-0 down my thoughts turned to that game ! 5 mins later you just knew 5 or 6 was going to be the score.

I would go back further than that.

I would go back to Flavio Briatore's 1st managerial appointment and picked a manager with a bit of quality who would have taken us up within 2 seasons!

dowie would have done that but didnt play the football they wanted.

Very true but I have to be honest, at the time I expected a much better appointment than Dowie and I certainly wasn't alone.

I think Flavio's inability to pick a decent manager and alow him to manage on the field matters as he sees fit has been the very reason why he has failed!

[ollyhoops]

Fantastic game and performance... at that stage I really thought we had something special there....shame

[qblockpete]

Turning point for me, was when Magilton came out and criticised the players and indicated what big time charlies some of them are.

Knowing that we change managers, the players knew they hold the powers, not the manager. Gone down hil ever since.

[WeAreQPR12]

Magilton should of stayed and Buzz should of left.

The fact Gorman wanted out said it all

[Kevster269]

Didnt we have a +11 or 12 Goal difference back then as well??

Happy days but sadly just a purple patch in an(other) otherwise poor season....so far

I agree.

I wanted someone more attack minded than Dowie appointed, but he did a
decent job. He was getting results on the pitch even if displays were not very entertaining.

I seem to recall rumours that he was appointed to win promotion and if he succeeded, he would have had a 7 figure bonus and pay-off, so that a higher profile manager could take QPR up to the next phase of the 4 year plan.

QPR were on the fringe of the play-offs, hard to beat and the players looked very fit. So what changed? Why did he get sacked?

As for the Derby game, perhaps that was just a blip during Magilton's management at QPR.

Thing is the reality is Dowie only won 1 of his last 6 games here and we were starting to go the same way as Coventry did the season before after their bright start.

The rot started the day we sacked Sousa - it may not have been pretty to watch but he knew we weren't good enough to mount a proper challenge last season with NO forwards/Buzz etc and decided to build for this season but oh no good old DOF GP calls his a c.... to fans and the rest is history. Stupid mistake..
