      Well nice to see we got a small mention on page 50.

      Obviously being taken very seriously not. Only QPR would miss out on a major rejuvenation project.
      Not so easy when you have the landowner dead against a stadium there and who's also submitted his own alternative plans. Further complicated by the fact that FOUR political entities are involved (3 London boroughs + the GLA), not to mention a mayoral election next May.

      But certainly not curb any sense of ambition for (our history/culture of) "punching above our weight" - a term he also used.
      "punching above our weight" is what I love which shows togetherness, fight, love, power and more. You can only do that if everyone including the support is one, for me that was under Gerry Francis.

      Yes but what actually is "above our weight" today?
      Looking at thing realistically, we could and should have remained in the PL.
      So for me punhcing above our weight right now would be going for a top 6 finish - in the PL.
      Like we did 20-odd seasons ago. When will we do that again?

    MARK Warburton says that his QPR squad will be fit and firing for Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship clash away at promotion favourites Leeds United.

    The R’s suffered their first defeat in four games on Monday night, losing out to Brentford in W12, but the boss insists that there will be no sign of a hangover when they walk out at Elland Road.

    “It’s a demanding league; the games come thick and fast so you can’t be sitting there and feeling sorry...

    “We have got to set the highest possible standards for ourselves. We gave away a really sloppy goal against Blackburn. From 4-1 and cruising, we survived a warning shot and we were loose and we have got to recognise that and be better.

    “It was a good win going into the break; four goals, four different scorers and more goals for our front two. It was great for Brighty and Ebs [to score] too but we were loose on too many occasions.”

    AS MARK Warburton readies his troops for Blackburn this weekend, he has called on his players to “deliver a performance” in west London.

    The R’s suffered a 3-0 loss at Cardiff City on Wednesday night and the R’s boss admits his post-match speech to the players was one that needed to be carefully considered.

    “It was important we got the message right to the players,” Warburton explained.

    “There is no denying we lost...

    by shadowmeister
    Final match before the annoying international break, both sides not in the best of RECENT form heading into this one. We failed to beat Luton and Forest at HOME, but from our point of view, I am hoping our AWAY DAYS are much more lucky.

    Been impressed with QPR's start to the season, as I was worried about the amount of new faces coming in. However they have hit the ground running and are scoring plenty or goals and have been in amongst the top end of the table for the most part of...

    “The fact of the matter is we have lost a game of football and it hurts. If it doesn’t hurt then you shouldn’t be in the game. The good thing is we have a very swift chance to make amends.”

    MARK Warburton admits he and his squad are hurting following Saturday’s defeat – but they welcome the early opportunity to “make amends” when they visit Cardiff City on Wednesday night.
