Think back to the days when the likes of Bob Malcolm or George Kulscar were starring for the Rs, now that was dro5sball! We play much better than in those days. The problem seems to me is that we got spoiled by that 2010/11 season when Adel was at his sublime best, and then our mad Premiership yo-yoing and the Zamora Wembley day out.

    I'm (still) actually enjoying watching the process of this new team coming together and what the manager and board are trying to do. Honestly, I find it interesting. After all, if you've been following QPR for any length of time, surely you're used to this by now? It's always been a rollercoaster ride, usually with far more downs than ups. I think people have overreacted to the 0-6 loss to be honest. I get what people are moaning about, the 1 up front, the out of position players, etc. etc., but I'm actually glad JFH has licence to experiment a bit. I think it will only take a few tweaks to get it right, and the all the new players still need to gel and get up to speed of course.

    So in contrast to what many are saying, I'm okay with this season.
    Agree with every word of this ! Quite right Hubble!

        Yes but when we had players like bob Malcolm, Paul bruce, christer warren etc. we had no cash and were up the creak with no paddle. We have money now and despite all these FFP Regulations we have spent quite a bit on players. We've not had to deal with freebies and loans. Majority of championship clubs would love our budget

            In what way is he experimenting? As far as I can see he hasn't really changed anything since the day he arrived. He continues playing the same way with the same sort of team every week.

              Can't really argue with that.

                I don`t think I ever have experienced a manager who seems to have so much faith in what he´s doing. Offcourse, believing in youself is always a plus, but. I really hope it doesn`t turn of out to be be his downfall. .. He now really needs his new signings to perform before he gets sack and we will end up as laughing stock for firing managers AGAIN..

                  I'm in minority here I'm not overly against JFH but I do not like his formations this one up , he's had long enough trying to and failing to get it to work certainly he's nowhere near getting it to flow , the marginal success he's had has had is in unconvincing fits and starts yet he to me he still shows more idea than Ramsey , I'd be happy for him to have the rest of his contract to get another system ie 4 4 2 , or 5 3 2

                    You're OK with watching dross? You're OK with tactical ineptitude, like schoolboy level ineptitude?

                    Would you be OK with it if it goes proper titsup? I don't think it will get that bad, but we're so easy to set up against you never know, I'd love to be playing the Rs as a manager because I know exactly what they're going to do. If we shut up shop, close down and find a set piece we can always grab a point or three but to me the discussion should be about our football culture.

                      I do actually agree with you. But the result against Newcastle was difficult to swollow.

                        very sad to hear that you aren't going Isles. I don't know you personally, only from posts on here. But it seems that you are absolutely one of the most loyal, for club and country.
                        I couldnt find my train tickets to Huddersfield this morning and Virgin Trains wouldn't reprint for me. I couldn't be arsed with spunking £105 on more tickets. First one I've missed this season.

                        this thread is worrying though.

                          Nobody seems to be sure when his contract ends.

                              You think that makes a difference now? It will be Les that makes the decision.

                                I've noticed on twitter that Tony doesn't seem to be responding to much regarding QPR these days. The only recent tweet I could find from him was about Newcastle beating Barcelona in 1997. Relevance?
