Sorry for such a harsh title but if you think we'll go up next season then your as mad as DFE! With clubs like WBA who will now have money behind them, adding to that the likes of possibly Middlesbrough plus one of either Newcastle, Hull or Sunderland coming down plus the teams who are already in this division (who don't go up as 2nd in the league or via the playoffs), there will not have been an easier season for us to get promoted. We have missed out big time and for the board not to recognise that or for the players not to have pushed themselves a little harder means it's a complete disaster. My fear and worry is because the board never backed the club in January, then what makes us feel this will change going into the new season!
Our strike for next season would be 66 years old if we sign Adebola (34), adding Helguson (who will be 32 at the start of next season). This season we have the worst goal scoring record in the division at 41 goals scored and that is against a lot of poor teams. Can you see those two firing 20+ goals next season? This division will only get stronger and I can’t see the likes of Vine, Buzz and Rowland’s adding anymore than 15 extra goals to that between them so where will the goals come from. Agyemang has never ever been prolific wherever he has been and he has also never managed more than 30 games a season either. Vine too probably won’t start upfront and also isn’t prolific either, so where will these goals come from? This area is a must to be strengthened!!
Cerny despite his critics has done well and deserves his spot but I expect a strong young keeper to come in to compete with Elvis as Cole and Crowther will be off in the summer.
Defensively we are strong. I am happy with Rambo as RB (if need be). I believe he has got over the southern blues he was suffering from. Therefore at worse case we would see Connolly at left back, however I strongly believe a left back will sign (Spur if GP can get him at a cut price) along with the young Chelsea lad. If that happens the Connolly will be shipped back to RB and then Rambo will cover there.
Onto the midfield... Think Legs will join Wolves for nice money and so I hope Lopez stays. That would leave Buzz, Routledge and Vine with Mahon, Rowlands, Miller (if he stays) and Hogan as cover, plus Adel if we get him on the season loan. Cookie needs to hit the ground running otherwise I seriously think he was a waste of money. Worried we need another ball winner and someone in the mould of Watson. And possibly another creative winger but who is the question!
Sorry to put a downer on it, as I love the hype and build up to a new season but I really believe a lot of our supporters watch a different team out there on a Saturday afternoon to me!

He says in that loyalty point evening thing on Qpr world that this season has been positive , then Delaney got the mic and said is has been a dissapointing season , he sed how the changes and inconsist picking of the same Xl has effected them. Well done Damion . at least some of the players realise it was a tosh season
