Expectations now?

Let's remember that palace were bottom at xmas and still went up via the play offs showing just what putting a run together can do in this league . We're actually not that far behind as it is . We're more than good enough for a top 6 finish and as clubs such as Derby have shown us the pressure of expectation can get to you . Perhaps not being fancied will turn out to be a good thing

[Harryboy]

There is always one team that has a late surge, why can't it be us, we have to go to boro looking for a win if we can do that then we will go on a roll

[Kirill]

His infectious and charismatic post-match interview on QPR Player is worth the subscription alone. It's so clear he still has that fire in his belly. Such start contrast to the drab and dreary Ramsey ones which I gave up listening to in the end.

They (and we) are always so enthusiastic when it is all just starting.
Remember how impressed we were with Ramsey's
first interviews, "breath of fresh air" and all that...

The big difference is I never grew tired of Neil's interviews, right up until his controversial departure.

Anyway, I think we both agree that the manager isn't the real problem in all this.

It's been a few days since the sacking and warnocks made a huge difference.

Much more solid at the back and more positive display. Fer and Sandro aren't quite match fit and Charlie a little rusty that needs be remembered. But the boys played for the shirt yesterday.

I reckon the international break is a good thing this time as its another 2 weeks for warnock to whip the boys into gear. Preston also have an excellent defensive record this guest.

Can see us pushing hard to play offs if we crack on from here and add a few shrewd sightings in January.

Having a safe pair of hands o the tiller is so reassuring. Warnock may or may not get us to the top 6, but I know for sure we have a better chance with him there than Ramsey.

If anyone can Warnock can.

[dogsrrs]

My expectations are t6 see the ball played on the ground with a team playing as team knowing what they doing , cant expect to much to soon after the Drosshoof they have had pumped into them , be patient and enjoy

[Itsonlyagame]

A play off place wouldn't be too far fetched. If we are there or there abouts come January I imagine the owners would sanction some spending to strengthen, given the potential windfall. Could do with Charlie staying obviously.

Don't think the moving on of overpaid 'too good for us in the championship' players had fully run its course - also don't think they've played as hard for Ramsey as the could have.
Warnock will have more respect, but they know he is possibly only here a short while - will they play full out for him or wait till Sherwood/Pearson/whoever takes over ?
By the time the dust has settled after the next transfer window saga, promotion will be out of reach

[A Man Without A Clue]

This squad ain't got a chance of going up, not good enough or enough fire in their bellys. IMO.

[lymehoop]

I look at Bournemouth, a very good Championship team, struggling in the top flight. Do we want that humiliation again? I would like to have a few seasons in the Championship, bring on some youngsters and build again

[Kirill]

Do we want that humiliation again?

Does the club need that revenue again?

[Shania]

I hope the next manager will get us into the play-offs. Warnock is not that man, I think.

[MattyRangers]

We have got to be looking to get a play off place. The likes of Burnley, Hull, Derby & Boro will be in the mix for the automatic spots and we need to be in that next group of clubs (Cardiff, Reading, Brighton etc).
