Optimism

Trouble is I don't think people like Pete understands this, just because you have the same players doesn't mean a new coach can get them to play the same.

Agreed.

Take Chelsea for instance, same players but different managers much better results. Forest same players, different managers, league survival.

The next manager will be as important if not more important than any signing we make and we have to make the right decision.

Our defence is better than it has been for years.
Teams will find it very hard to break us down.
Our most creative players are all coming back from injury.
Rumours are that we going to sign a striker.

It's not all doom and gloom...

I am always optimistic when it comes to QPR. If and it is a big IF we sign 3 quality players (Including the much talked about Striker) and our "flair" players stay fit, then I think we have a very good chance of doing well next season. ;D

Our defence was very good last season because of Iain Dowie and then Paulo Sousa, we are not guaranteed to be the same team defensively this forthcoming season.

I agree with that entirely-the new manager will owe a lot to Sousa in particular for improving our defence immeasurably.

[crowlehoops]

if we get a decent striker then it will start to look good for us
