I think the "It's only June" argument is a very valid point. Lot of players and managers are still on holiday and contracts tend to run to July 1st. Shouldn't these guys get breaks like everyone else? In July we come back for training and have to assess the squad as to who's fit and who's not and who wants to stay and who doesn't. That makes sense.
Also, Warnock hasn't seen some of our players play for us either due to injury - Mahon and Rowlands - or been out on loan - Hall, Agyemang, Helguson.
Are you suggesting that we go out and buy some players on the basis that WE don't like the one's we've got? Warnock might have plans for any of the above. Even Lee Cook says he has to impress the boss during pre-season to earn himself a place in the team so no one is safe or assured of their places just yet and rightly so.
The season is over 5 WEEKS away, not this Saturday so the panicking is unnecessary and we should let the guy get on with it. Whether he gets it right or not we won't know till we kick off so no point pre-judging him.
That is the realistic attitude. IMO.
Add this message to Spencer's above and you have the only sensible way to look at it
I wanted England to win the World Cup - but in reality - as we have done jack shat since 1966...and year in year out fail to even get to a final.let alone a semi final(even in the Euro's) my expectations are never very high.
Unfortunately - the media builds them up every tournament..only to fail at every tournament.The bottom line is...England as a team are pretty damm average.The club sides win(althougjh not this season) thanks to foreign input.
This World cup...coming up to last 8 teams - the premier ship has about 8 or 9 players representing them.
Do the same fans that think England should win every world cup...assume the QPR are going to be top team every year?
I want us to win / do well / finish high every season...but i don't expect anything these days.I'm happy that this season i m hoping that we will be away from the relegation zone and maybe pressing for outside play off hopes...
Maybe i should raise my expectation levels....but then...i never get dissapointed these days...
the prices we pay and the financial backing we have i expect promotion next season
Anything else and they have failed
The amount of money i let my missus have who does not work....and the time off she has..I expect my dinner on the table 2 minutes after I walk in the door...but it doesn't always happen
I'm hoping for a more stable season.No manager sackings...no board room squabbling etc....I agree the prices are still too high....but like I say.... my expectations are lower than yours.....that's why i hardly get dissappointed.
People let you down in life.....Family Friends Football the three 3 Fs....lower the goal posts and the hair doesn't get so grey and thin...
i agree with v ranger. the prices of season tickets are overpriced to what championship football full stop. i still pay it but they shpould be 470 in my opionion and that would temp more fans to buy them.
I have a feeling more players will come and they will be more exciting ones in the next few weeks. 3 key players with what we have got is a sqaud capable of challenging for top 6. with wanock as well he will get the best out the players we have too

Same as mate - does she roll out the kids excuse, even when they are all at school all day long WTF do they do?
I though Warnock stated that he likes to get all his players in early before pre season even. We kept saying its only May, its only June, well now its pretty much July, season starts in August.
And when he said "All his players" did you really believe that? That our squad would be fully assembled now in late June?
Because that's what every other club in the league has done already, isn't it? They are all ready to play tomorrow and we are the only ones who aren't.
I think 4 players, whatever their ability, is a good start and, as others have said, more than most.
5 weeks is a long time. I didn't even have the same girlfriend 5 weeks ago so I'm pretty sure I won't have the same football team on the pitch.

Sorry, I'm just "keeping it real".
Ha ha mate plenty of women then...keeping it real..like it
Hi Chelmsford How are you? Enjoying the sunny weather? Nice little shopping centre you have there. Spent a few quid there before in my jaunts to Chelmsford.
As this World Cup has just shown....all the best premiership players playing together....were no better...if not a lot worse....than an average looking team on paper...like the USA.Yet in truth...they outplayed us on the pitch...as a team.
Getting in these so called " big signings" will not guarantee a top spot.Warnock appears to be building a team...as opposed to a bunch on individuals....i think anyway...

Spot on mate, didn't he also say he wanted about 5 or 6 good players. I think it may have even been more than that.
And GTP if 'it's not unusual' to have any major signings by the end of June for any club on the planet.
Who are all these players changing hands at the moment then that we have been interested in but have been beaten as usual.
And BHUJIO Your comment 'I wonder if you were supporting QPR not long ago when we were in the first Division and nearly in admin again'
Well i first saw QPR play in 1973 so i have seen us play in many divisions. Also how dare you compare me to a Man C supporter i have and will follow my club through good times and bad.
Let's just hope whoever he gets Neil can build a team good enough to have a season that most fans will be happy with, after all Neil has said he would like to gain promotion this season, imo although we'd love to see it, a very optimistic comment to make so early.
