From the Indys Site - The 1968-69 Season – First Account www.indyrs.co.uk/?p=249The season did have it's moments. Opening day against Lecicester City. Dominating games which we didn't win...Barry Bridges signing for QPR... And many, many, many gut-wrenching moments.

Before my time but a good read. Did the 68/69 team try to play football or did it get to the desperate hoof it long style favoured in the more recent dark Olly years?
I can, just about remember the 78 relegation and although we went down I thought we still played proper football.

We tried to play football. If you look at the team lineups though, we seemed to be lacking a midfield and playing forwards in midfield. (Hmmm, I seem to remember a few years back...!) If we'd bought Venables a year earlier; if we hadn't lost Marsh pre-season, missed half the season; if we'd had a decent goalie - instead of playing a 1/3 season each for Springett, Kelly and Spratley. And if we'd appointed a manager (or not axed Stock), And if we'd had a bit more luck in numerous games.... But definitely not a season that will be forgotten by any QPR fan who experienced it
