He is probably a half decent manager but nowhere near the best in the division. Admittedly we have a poor squad and a lot of injuries but he is a very negative manager and tries to nick games by the odd goal . -
Stoke are not a great side but occasionally knock a few goals in. Don't like to say it but this is one game where keeping things tight, might be our best chance. I wish I could be more positive.Comment

What choice does he have though? He doesn't have the squad to go gung ho and all out attack. Our only hope at the moment is to keep it tight and nick a result.Originally posted by Harrow QPR View PostComment

He obviously has a choice , he is just negative , not just this season but last as well , even against the poorer sides in the division. We are losing against the poorer sides at home ,playing negative tippy tappy sideways football , so yes he does need to go gung ho and try and score some goals to win matches because if we keep on as we are , we are getting relegated. 0-0 draws are not good enough , get the ball forward quicker a bit of energy in the side, pass and move , get balls into the box and maybe even Celar will score ,rather than all this walking football and getting nowhere.Originally posted by Sleeping Giants View PostComment

Exactly the time for caution is not now. Try and be a team that is not an easy three points. Even if it isn’t prettyOriginally posted by Harrow QPR View PostComment

Tomorrow is a win at all costs game. If we can get 3pts straight after this international break it will do the squad and the fans a world of good. It has to be backs against the wall, do or die mentally. Even if it’s horrendous to watch. Given the forecast also of heavy rain we cannot afford to play all passive and #### around with the ball. Stoke will muller us if we do. Marti has to get the shape and line up bang on the money.Comment

Yes, we need a win, a must win if you will. But it needs to come courtesy of our endeavour.
If Stoke have 2 men sent-off, still batter us for 90 mins, hit the woodwork 8 times and we have zero shots but win 1-0 due to their goalie dropping a cross into his net I'll still be disgusted with Marti's approach.
Nobody is expecting a feast of mesmerising football from us but effing hell, if we still play timid sideways walking football all game AT HOME I'll be absolutely fuming.
And to clarify, I'm not after brainless gung-ho football either - it's just an ambition and willingness to really pounce when situations and opportunities arise.Comment

BILLY Barnes, Alf Ridyard and Arthur Longbottom will posthumously be inducted into the Forever R’s Club when QPR host Stoke City at MATRADE Loftus Road this weekend.
The trio all made in excess of 200 appearances for us and are worthy inductions to our former players’ association.
Barnes, a tricky winger, was named captain as soon as he arrived at the club in 1907. He spent six years with us and made 234 appearances, scoring 37 goals.
Ridyard was signed for £625 in 1938. The centre-back spent a decade at QPR and made 231 appearances, scoring nine times during his period with us.
Nearly 200 of his matches for the club came during wartime.
After retiring, Ridyard became assistant manager and later had a spell as chief coach before going on to become head scout.
Striker Longbottom made 212 outings and scored 67 goals for Rangers between 1954 and 1961.
He was the club’s top scorer three years in a row between 1956/57 and 1958/59.
Coincidentally, Longbottom’s posthumous induction will come 67 years to the day he scored four in a 5-1 win at Northampton Town, which is also the last time a Rangers player scored four times in an away game.
We look forward to welcoming the families of Billy, Alf and Arthur to W12 on Saturday.

I do not blame Marti for the situation we are in. Someone mentioned that we only lost Hayden, Dykes, Willock, SA etc. But we have to take into account that Dembele, Colback, Chair, JCS, Paal, Frey are all missing. So that leave us with only Cook, Field, Dunne and maybe Smyth left from the team that did so well during the second half of last season. Be realistic.

Sadly we’ve got to move to winning ugly until we claw ourselves out of the bottom three. Play two up front and no fannying around with the ball at the back.
No it won’t be the ‘style’ the CEO want us to play but now’s the time for some temporary change. No use playing like Man City in League 1 next season.Comment

I think 0-2, or 0-3. The crowd will turn quite easily now as patience has run out. We are toothless in attack, nothing in midfield and spineless in defence.Comment
