Have Our Expectations Risen Too Much

[qblockpete]

Now we sit 4th in the table?

[WeAreQPR12]

Not at all.
Our expectations are to finish in the top 6.
We don't have the pressure's that Middlesborough, newcastle and West Brom all have.
We have the money to compete and top 6 IMHO is not asking to much with the quality in the squad. 2 more signings and a fit cook and we might suprise 1 or 2

[stan_bowles]

Not for me.

Pre-season i would have take 8th to be honest.

A top 6th finish seems achievable given the way everyone is capable of beating each other.Hopefully players stay injury free and see out their loans until May.

I am not counting my chicken's,but i will take 6th all day long.

no,with our wealthy owners and bold talk aboout champions league in 4 years at this stage top six would be a minimum requirement.

My expectations are what I was told to expect by the owners when money and increased ticket prices came in = i.e. you won't want to miss out, just wait and see the quality of player we will now get and watch us fly. Top 6 should therefore be, according to them, the least we should expect.

My expectations never change - every year I expect my team to win the league and both cups and play quality football.
Obviously I am let down every year.............but that's the point of dreaming/supporting my team.

The one thing that annoys me more is people with low expectations - like those types that go on "who wants to be a" - well it's not called "who wants to be a eight grand better off" is it...............and those that go on Deal or No Deal and cut out for ten grand or similar........what's the flippin point. :amazing:

Took the words right out of my mouth.As far as I am concerned, they've got just 18 months left of the 4 years to back up their spin and promises.I expected top 6 last season on the back of all the hype that was flying around.

Yes but you can't count last season for obvious reasons...aka "The 3 Managers Season".

At least this season we are on track and I think we can make a push with a couple of additions in January.

If we don't make the grade this year then we have another 2 years to do it which I'm confident we will.

[EYR]

We may be fourth now but lose a game and we could be tenth.The important thing is we keep pace and eventually pull clear of 7th (hopefully)

[QPR1234]

3 signings all perms will make us top 6.. then use loans to cover the squad.

heaton
hooper
williams

[WeAreQPR12]

I wouldn't sign williams on a perm.
Decent player but not good enough to be premiership material.

[m_cooper]

still take 6th as it is going to be a real scramble for play off places

Haha you are using that as an excuse to get another year? Who's fault is it we hired the managers? Who's fault is it we sacked them? The owners, so they wasted a year of a plan.

i personally wouldnt either but it looks like thats whats gonna happen..

unless he plays worse than expected he will get a 4 year contract on silly money come january..

Last season was slightly bumpy but in my view the quality of the squad improved and we are looking like we can have a go this season. Failing that a further increase in quality before next season should see us good enough to have a serious challenge next season. Overall we are doing pretty well since the takeover. It was always going to be gradual rather than spend £50m and go up in one year which is probably sensible.
