I have read a number of threads/responses/comments from many people recently and it disturbs me a little that there is an under current of negativity towards NW and the team if we don't win.
We can all moan that maybe we have not gone out and purchased that '20 goal' a season striker etc but there are many teams all over the country and even in Premiership who moan that their team lacks strength in certain positions despite maybe there being funds available etc. You don't have to travel far to North London where many Arsenal fans have been moaning for ages about a decent keeper, centre back and striker yet their season is still going strong and so is ours!
It's not easy to wave a magic wand and sign the player you most want especially given inflated price tags, wages, agents etc etc. Sometimes, manager's make mistakes, we all do. However, over all you cannot argue that NW is probably the best manager we have had at the club for quite a while.
Around this time of year is when nerves start to attack players and fans alike and from here on in it does not get any easier. The teams at the top get the jitters and the teams at the bottom suddenly realise the mess they are in and time is running out and start to pull out results through total desperation.
Every team around us is dropping points. Forest being a fine example in the last week of losing to Scunthorpe but then beating Cardiff. QPR however have only lost 1 league match in the last two months which is pretty decent in my book.
If we are nervous from the stands and start to moan and groan at a misplaced pass or a poor shot then how do you think this tranfers to the players on the pitch?
I don't want to hear people counter argue and say "well they get paid £20k a week and should learn to deal with it" etc etc. Players are human no matter what they get paid and they react just like you and me.
Everyone in this league is scrapping for points right now teams like Preston and Ipswich have had new managers recently which often brings a fresh breeze into the club and can sometimes transform players form. We have all seen the affect that NW has had on Tarrabt. He must be the hardest player to manage in the country by far!
Opinions about the team's performance on any given games and opinions on certain players within the team on this forum is part of society today. We live in a cyber world where public access to the world has never been easier. I am sure that every club has a forum based website where the 'banter' that exists on ours is similar to others.
The most important part of this thread is that WE all do everything to keep the atmosphere and the support as positive as possible on match days and really get behind the team to help push us over the line to the promised land.
Loftus Road especially is a tight compact stadium and i can assure you that the players can easily here everything. Give them all your support and help raise the roof and i am sure it will pay dividends on the pitch.
Now is not the time to critisize. The squad is what it is. NW knows the players better than anyone. He also knows plenty of what we don't know. Let him manage and let the team play without fear but to want to play for the fans who give them their support. It's a two way thing you know!
Many fans up and down the country will realize that between now and May is going to be a bumpy ride. We can help to make it a smoother ride!!!!
Come on you R's!!!!
