My honest take on it is this - apart from 2 years ago at Loftus Road when we were utter pony, and allowed Adel to run the show, we always seem to face a Rangers side who cack it from the off (i.e. the 6-0, the 4-0; even the 3-2 at home, when we raced into a 3-0 lead).
You really do stand off us and allow us to play the only way we can. Not our fault if the match is too big for your players, but in truth it does seem to be. They know it is a local derby, and seem to cave in.
Each time this season, following our match against you, we have been caned 3-0, because our prima donnas suddenly think they've only got to turn up, and quite honestly no other team allows us that.
Trust me, it p*sses me off as well, as I didn't see that coming last night before the match, but should have known better.
One more thing which is a totally honest opinion from someone who appreciates that your fans are usually more raucous than ours - Loftus Road on Saturday was totally dead on 3 sides of the ground, except from about 10 minutes from the end when the Loft corner of Ellerslie Road decided to start singing. Never expected that, as usually, the atmosphere is a bit more passionate from you lot.
Bit cr*p that we didn't shift all our tickets, and yes, it was mainly 2-300 unsold in Z6, but it is what it is, and hardly evidence that it's our cup fiinal. Personally, I got mine as soon as it became available to my no. of loyalty points (and it was 1 per season ticket holder for ages, until they realised how much of a slow burner that was and put it on general sale with up to 6 each too late imo).
Anyway, haven't been on to take the p*ss, just commenting on the same view that you lot have that we normally go back to being s**t after we have played QPR.
I'm sure we won't go down though so I'll look forward to next seasons games - it can't keep 'happening again' (can it?)
