2-0 down after 20mins

[SheepRanger]

Not quite sure why you go on and on about actually being at games, I’ve have had a season ticket for over 50 years and started going to games in 1965, however it does not make my opinion of the club any more valid or important than any other fan. I’m not sure how old you are but all I can say is I have witnessed absolute garbage some years and success has been minimal.
As a Rangers fan you live in hope, that’s will never change, I watched the 75/6 team that was brilliant and should have been Champions of Div 1 now Prem.
Im also not sure about Ainsworth, I am fearful of this season, we cannot spend and have what looks like a weak squad, however I will as I said live and hope and see what happens to the squad over the next 6 weeks.

[MINCER]

Lol
This is a message board for opinions
my opinion is Ainsworth is out of his depth even his interview after this game his laughing and joking .
I spend a fortune following my team up and down the country . I’m not an arm chair fan like most on here …….
yes I didn’t want Ferdinand at my club neither did 80 per cent of qpr fans

yes I wanted crichley out so did 80 per cent of qpr fans

yes I want Ainsworth out like most qpr fans
if you lot are football fans and follow qpr home and away you will understand why he isn’t the man for qpr .. regardless we have money or not a half decent manager will get a tune out of this squad . You all will be calling for him to be gone within 10 games of the season .

keyboard manager calling someone that and hiding behind a user name on a qpr message board is the actual definition of a keyboard manager /warrior .. strange folks on here
who don’t even follow the team and call out people’s opinions who actually follows the team . Strange strange wallys on here

You are not the only one that thought the likes of Warburton and Critchley were not the correct fit at this club.
Both we’re released by the owners and it’s highly likely Ainsworth will go the same way.
Nothing wrong with stating your own opinion mate despite others seemingly burying their head in the sand.

You play pub league teams when you know your team and don't need to find out about your players.
Ainsworth is playing development players, you need to throw them against players better than they probably are to see how they do. Especially when we are likely to be playing a season on the backfoot in defensive situations most of the season.

GA is doing the right thing against this level of opposition, setting up the players against the type of games they can expect to be in. But then yo against a wall and see who doesn't crumble from the experience.

He's got a few weeks to check this and then fill the gaps on what's needed. You learn more from defeat than victory... So get those defeats out of the way in pre-season and learn from it.

We never had a chance of winning this, and he knew that, and that's ok.

I dont think anyone is burying their head in the sand. We're likely to be in the bottom half, but some of us are a bit more patient to see how things pan out. Lets see what the squad looks like when the transfer window closes and we're 15 games in before we start the sack the manager routine.

Gareth will give it his best, from the budget given to him by the owners. If his more direct style doesnt work then we can get another manager like Warbs who got us passing the ball around and going no where. We could also try experienced managers like Hughes, Redknapp or McLaren. Or, young and up and coming ones like Hasselbaink or Beale. The cycle continues.....

Lets see where this takes us, we've tried everything else. I do not expect us to get relegated but Im hoping for 12-15th and wouldnt be suprised to see us 16-20th. Such is life....

U Rssss!

GA said that we may add another one or two more signings. So anyone who think we may add 5 or six more players are dreaming. He mentioned FFP and for the fans to lower the expectations. I read those statements in different interviews he gave, but I am sure everyone read them as well.

[Springboks2002]

by the looksof the team he fielded he needs at least

a keeper
a right back
2 centre backs
a central midfielder like stefan Johansen but wants to be here
and at least 1 striker as well as resigning Martin

so 7 needed in my opinion

priority

right back, GK, CM, Striker, 1 CB

for me we should have sacked GA before he got his lucky 3 points away at Burnley

surely he should have his targets in the squad for this tourn for team spirit?

all very basic

we cant blame Les for this start to our season

hopefully pedder impresses i see no sign of Sinclair Armstrong so hopefully hes just missing it thru a slight knock? and i saw Smyth wasnt available? so he ticks the box of a winger needed

Can’t blame Les for start of season! FFS we haven’t started & it was a friendly again a top side & they was 4 weeks in front of us with fitness.
As he said we’ve missed out on two targets so it takes time & looks like you haven’t got any

Thats the first time Ive heard these comments and would agree they are very concerning. Hopefully they are just general terms. I want to bring in "one or two more". Would it really be motivational to our players to hear five or six are going to be replaced? Until theyre through the door its best to limit what is disclosed. Clearly FFP is still a huge consideration and a shame we've already lost out on a few targets. Trying to avoid points deductions and fines is crucial......

Lovely sunny Sunday and Im off for one or two pints today!

I would think he could’ve meant 1/2 in permanently & rest loans which he doesn’t class as coming in

Getting Willock to sign a new contract will be like a new signing!

[WeAreQPR12]

Getting Willock to sign a new contract will be like a new signing!

I can't see that happening unless you've heard rumours?! Hopefully clearing all this deadwood means we can at least offer him similar to Johansen

[Shania]

With a tight budget any manager/coach has to play mind games during a transfer window. Especially QPR supporters, myself included off course ,should have learnt that lesson by now?

[FurtiveFox]

No chance of Willock signing a new contract unless nobody comes in for him and it has a modest release clause.

We have a lot of business left to do and friendlies pretty meaningless. See how we by this time in August.

[SheepRanger]

No, not heard anything.

There have been rumours with Field / Chair and it one of them goes then perhaps any transfer fee can be used to increase his contract. Im just working on the Dykes principle.

I have no idea how this Boro rumour is progressing, but the fact Willock is in Austria and played 45mins and Dieng stayed at home says a lot.

calm yourself down sunshine

what im suggesting is that this isnt a great start to pre season and what GA has been brought in for in my opinion is for team spirit purposes and to build it as we have lack of funds
surely he has a plan of who he wants to bring in and to have all his team together in this pre season for team spirit is vital

so what im suggesting is we cant blame Les for this start to GAs reign for this season

im not a fan of having GA anyway and from the outside looking in its as bad as i first feared if not worse

i am allowed to be concerned we dont have the right man in place for the club ive supported for past 39 years

patience i have plenty of but when you know what i know and its coming into fruition live in front of my face i am allowed to say weve got the wrong effing bloke

PAUL SMYTH? for the love of jesus come on

GA will be sacked by September

so go and sit down in your sunlounger and enjoy your all inclusive you cornetto eating waster
