Im going to put my head on the line

Who remembers keeping faith with Ray Wilkins in 95-96? We played good football that season and were unlucky as well.

Look where that ended!

Can we really compare these two seasons

Totally different times with totally different situations.

surely this squad (on paper... etc) Is the best we HAVE EVER had.

I am fully aware of the past and I am fully aware of what we DID achieve. But the potential and backing we have now is surely better than we have had.

With this, regardless of playing well our squad is too good to go down.

This is not the best squad we have ever had (comparative to our competition)....look at our history.

agree that this is probably one of the best squads we have ever had but unfortunately it is being managed by a poor manager...well maybe not poor,just mediocre. 7 away wins in 61 away games since he left Blackburn. Doesnt know his best team and seems to have poor man management skills.

The best squad and the best manager are those who produce the best results possible - and even impossible. Are we now getting the best results possible, or even simply good results? We have a merely adequate squad with some improvement potential hindered by the current manager.

I'm putting my faith in Tony and Amit who has yet to back Mark. But I really feel it will come good.

Like I said...

- On paper it is

Take the history away e.g. Runners up season etc

On paper and technically we have a very good squad.

I totally understand how well we did back then, however right now we have a very very good squad!

[vblockranger]

good individual players + mediocre manager = bottom of the league

wonderful maths...

[Stanley]

And say...

Back Hughes - TF is right and is right about calling him a good manager.

1. We WILL COME good. I have faith as always
2. We have attracted some amazing players and staff, because of Hughes. (Ian Holloway or Neil Warnock could never pulled the likes of Cisse to QPR)

3. We have had a tough run
4. Big games coming up. MUST WINS.. And I seriously feel we will pick up 7 points from 9.

5. The setup is for MH and changing it will not help us.
6. Players becoming a team finally and will fight for this.

7. Stability is key and what we have been needing for so many years.
8. Hughes started slow at all clubs. But seriously; he has done well at all of them eventually.

Faith and support - Get behind the hoops

I mean, cor what a team we have. Playing in the best league in the world. Chill out and keep that faith fellow hoops.

Spot on, excellent post.

Agreed. And I will say, Sparky deserves a chance to buy a few more players in January. Aj amongst a few others must be replaced.Anoter point; I know that many say that we did not sort the defence out properly in the summer,but I wonder how many players who really wanted to come to us really? Do remember that QPR were still QPHAHAHA after the Briatore period.

Yes many do state this but are clearly deluded asa they disregard the brand new entire back four of Bosingwa, Mbia, Nelsen, Fabio when they make this statement.... Clearly the defence was addressed.

As much as I am team TF and MH - Mark has had plenty of time to make his own team

Errrrrrrr....how can you say the best squad we have ever had.....but don't include the history in that????????

Do you really think we would be fighting for the title if we had a better manager? If we had Fergie in charge we would be just above mid table by end of season.

Im sorry, but are you reading my posts correctly?

I clearly started this thread explaining how I strongly believe MH is a good manager and will take us higher up the table.

WE HAVE A VERY VERY GOOD SQUAD....

After asking many QPR fans (Older especially) They clearly state although many years ago we managed to compete at the top, the squad we have today is very good. Lots of money has been put into this team it is just struggling to win games.

When I said dont Include history, I mean base it on the players and the potential.

Times have changed and footballers have become better IMO -

So has the competition - so it is all relative. Relative to the opposition - we certainly DO NOT have the best squad we have ever had.

I have watched far better in my lifetime as well as far worse.
