Under Dowie we were very fit. At the moment we don't and look very lacklusture. I think the players rated Dowie.
I will never forget the night under Dowie at Swansea when their keeper went off injured and they put their little full back in goal for about 75 mins and we still didn't have a shot at goal.
Personally, I'd have Sousa back.
First game: Arsenal vs Queen's Park Rangers at Highbury, Saturday 17th November 1984.
Am I right in thinking that Dowie walked into Palace a few years ago and took them from the verge of relegation to promotion via the play offs in a very short period of time?

He won't do that with us I am afraid!

That's not what I was suggesting - but I guess your response suggests the answer is yes?
Our players need to be fitter - one thing Dowie is good at, but there is simply not enough of the season left to achieve that. I also remember that horrible night at Swansea - which goes down as one of the worst nights of my Rangers watching life (over a lot of years).
So I don't want him back because I don't see what he can achieve in the time remaining - other than one thing - if he comes back Briatore has gone because he wouldn't be anywhere near the place with him still here?
"QPR have had seven managers in the last two years - they can't all be wrong. Look at Iain Dowie - he got sacked after 15 games. We were three points off second place. Crazy.
"The lads loved Dowie and, if he was left in charge, we would have got promoted to the Premier League. I guarantee you that."
However, Delaney was full of praise for QPR's fans, adding: "They are very passionate for their club. They are genuine, good people and they have been promised the earth but it's not been delivered yet.
"I should imagine they are very frustrated. Flavio has been at the club for two years or so now and said he would do this and do that and it's not happened.
The words of Damien Delaney, last month.
Yes, of course I would like Curbishley, of course many would love Warnock... but do we have time to wait for Palace/Warnock/Curbishley to decide our fate? Not if it drags on for weeks.
We are running out of games, fast.
So if for any reason we can't get either of those - then it's Dowie or Harford?
Not a tough choice really, is it?
