Warnock's QPR, achieved an average of 1.43 points per match, which over the course of a season is just shy of 66 points. Not enough to finish within the top 6 but enough to have finished 8th last season and just 4 points off Blackpool.
Arguably, the loss of Simpson (who didn't perform particularly well under Warnock) and Taraabt (who excelled under Neil) are the only players as it stands who won't be at Loftus Road next season. Neither player has signed for another club so it is possible that either could still return. If we continue the similar form into next season the stats show that we are a top 10 side. With the transfer window still not even open and the fact we've added two players who scored more in this division than the likes of Vine, Agyemang and Pellicori the squad has improved. With the return of Helguson who scored 11 in the CCC last season we already have a stronger strikeforce. Has the division got harder or easier with Newcastle and WBA going up or Burnley and Hull coming down? I'd say it's not that much different and although I'd like us to see more quality join our team I'm quite confident that if Warnock can take a team who went most of the season without keeping a clean sheet and who was on a long losing streak into a top 10 side (on form that is) then the future isn't as bad as some on this forum make out.
The transfer window isn't open. Warnock took a player who failed to score 2 seasons ago and turned him into a 20 goal sensation last year so who's to say that he can't or won't do the same with Mackie? Clarke might not tick all the boxes but his scoring stats are better than the likes of Vine and Agyemang's over the last few years so have faith.
