Qpr v Watford | Match Thread

[Shania]

Need at least 3 or 4 players to come in.

The new CEO said in his interview that we will not do any business in the transfer window.

[djp]

I think the club do know we need a striker, but don't have the money or scouts to get a decent one.

We probably won’t get any offers anyway but I think the only way is to sacrifice Chair and/or Field. Do it this week, get in Clarke-Harris for 500k and Langstaff for £1 million. It’s not even really a gamble, we go down and both these players will score goals next season in League One.

[daveshads]

All games are big games for us now. You get a feeling for these things and I think we are just made for Millwall. They aren't very good but our weaknesses will suit them. Hopefully yesterday's result will have set them back a bit.
After today generally I feel a little more positive and our best 11 really should survive in this league but the scoring issue weighs heavy upon us.
Could also do with a large helping of luck!

[Qpstranger]

Yep, new CEO said no new signings in January. That may be up for discussion I would imagine if we were to sell one or two of the current squad, but I really can't see any other team offering decent enough money for any of our perceived better players... This has proved to be the dismal season so many anticipated back in May when we narrowly avoided relegation. I do still feel quite positive about Marti's appointment, but league 1 football feels imminent.

[WeAreQPR12]

I like Marti but I got the impression after the game that he'll probably walk before being sacked

[Martinmalta]

There is no reason to sack Marti. He is the long term solution. Relegation or not, it is important he stays to steady the long term future. We were good today, however the lack of striker is so evident. Unlucky to leave at least without a point.

[Dono77]

Can't blame him if he does. The squad is full over paid under performing tarts. The only ones I think that is actually likeable is Armstrong. The rest aren't arsed. They are here cos no one else would take them.

MC has probably only recently realised that this lot arent good enough and when we drop into league 1 we are ####ed. Crowds Will drop, we will be saddled with players earning between 10-20k a week in league 1. The owners won't keep paying the loan off in that league. Wouldn't surprise me if we dropped again.

Crowds wont drop. They increased last time we went down because fans saw a few more wins. We do have a lot of old timers picking up their last pay cheque, but dont we have 11 players out of contract in the summer? Theres an opportunity there to refresh the squad. If we dont pick up maximum points in the next two games Im sure we'll take offers for any of our players to get them off the wage bill. I coukd see Chair going for £2m and Willock £100k.

[Dono77]

Oh great. I can't wait then. What a time to be a qpr fan. Fml

[72bus]

We are far to passive in front of goal , thought it was a dire game from both teams .
They just finished when we couldn't .

Crowds may not drop but tickets prices will need to for L1 football

With 11 out of contract the sale of Chair and loss of the only one with potential SA who's out contract L2 is a better bet of getting out of L1 than promotion I can see likes of Kolli Pedder Drewe being starters next season as signing 8 or 9 way beyond our capabilities. may as well flog 2 0r 3 in window accept relegation and sign JCH who's won top scorer 2 or 3 times in there for 500k at least there's 1 who can perform there.

[dave58]

Marti has to stay even if we're relegated he doesn't have the tools to do the job, there's an old saying, that you cant polish a turd which is what we are at the moment, we have to give him time to change things around, with his own people not the current bunch of which about 14 are out of contract come the end of the season. As for yesterday I didn.t think we played that badly Armstrong should've had us 2 up before they scored and the chances we missed highlights our problem also really poor defending for both goals stood there watching Livermore shoot twice without any pressure trying to close the ball down let him pick his spot, also were were much better once Chair had departed for Smyth More direct and looks like the only person on our team who can cross the ball, never seen a team as bad as us at putting the ball into the box

Daniel went missing from Watford, Hertfordshire, on January 3 before Herts Police found what is believed to be his body in the morning of Thursday, January 11.

In a touching tribute before kick-off, the home team QPR played the classic Elton John song 'Daniel' as part of the pre-match music. And as the game approached the 30th minute loud claps from supporters filled the Loftus Road stadium.


RIP Dan

Thanks to everyone who participated today at

@QPR

I can't thank you all enough. I honestly didn't think my post midweek would have such a massive impact that it did. 60k+ views & it was amazing that we all came together as a football community to pay our respects. RIP DANIEL

After hearing about the discovery of a body last week, Queens Park Rangers and Watford fans shared posts organising a minute’s applause in the 30th minute of the game, which kicked off at 12pm yesterday.

[daveshads]

Sizeable report on the game in today's Daily Mail (for a change). Couple of interesting comments. Jake Livermore, one goal in the past
3 and a half years before yesterday. Also Marti once voted the worst manager in the history of Danish football??????
I hope we are not going down a blind alley with MC. If he had done his homework on us before taking the job on, he must have worked out
that without a striker, we are in a dire position. I think all the fans, in such a position, would have sought a commitment from the club
about getting a striker. Without such a commitment, the task was virtually impossible. Even Chris Martin would probably have scored 5
or 6 by now. Martin was also good at defending/attacking set pieces at both ends of the pitch.

[70sQPR]

We seemed to have more success when we ran at Watford either long ball or quick passing. We were just to slow. Is that the manager's tactics or our player's lack of cofidence?
