Maybe, just maybe, the powers at QPR have realised they have royally screwed up... even if they aren't admitting it publicly... and are getting rid of players who are more mercenary, or not happy, and will try to bring in players with more 'character' and fight for the cause.
I don't know any of the players personally, or how hard they actually try (it isn't always easy to tell), but a clear-out is needed and has started. I think we have resigned ourselves to mid-table, and are looking for the future. Whether that is with or without Flav, who knows...
We must keep our best young players, play them when possible (unless they need resting due to confidence etc), and surround them with experience and people willing to really give it their all. A few leaders.
At the moment, I think we need an experienced leader in defence, an experienced centre forward who can hold it up, and a quality goalkeeper (Heaton would have been excellent). We miss Mahon/Rowly badly, and depending on their prognosis we may need another centre midfielder who can really get people's respect.
I'd like to see a line-up of something like this (and no it isn't perfect but worth trying to see what happens). It won't set the world alight, but it might give us ideas for future. Also, we need to show patience as fans.
Ikeme
proper right-back, Connolly, Ramage (to see how he does), Hill
Hogan, Buzsaky, Quashie, Vine
new 'intelligent' target man, Simpson
subs from: Radek, Borrowdale, Legs, Stewart, Gorkss (only to see if Ramage can play CB), German, Balanta, Sterling, Cook
