Lost to Bristol C with one shot on goal 0-1. Sickening.

No Wells and no Goals. Meanwhile Wigan win , 9 points off relegation three now, was 15. Owners only themselves to blame if we get sucked in. Don’t spend don’t matter where we finish attitude we will be alright, will we though I had a feeling without his goals it’s gonna get very tough now and the last thing we needed was two Wigan wins on the bounce.

55 goals scored this season, 15 for Wells. I think we're capable of scoring goals without him.

47 goals in the league, 14 for Wells. I think we're capable of scoring goals without him. It showed today Marc, he was definitely missed up front. Him going could change the whole dynamics of the team. We had a great win against LEEDS , threw away all that impetus by putting a weakened team out to play Wednesday, Now all of a sudden, three losses on the spin and no Cup run, sorry criminal. On paper we should still get goals but you like me , know we cant keep a clean sheet for toffee, how many have we kept this year? We are going to need some goals to get those five wins, so let’s hope your right.

I am struggling to find anything positive about today. We were lackluster and poor all over the pitch, so many wasted passes and gifting the ball to the opposition. Brizzle didn't beat us, we gave them the game

Pretty poor show, improved in the second half but several players off form / not good enough. Think Warburton got the subs wrong today. Amos had taken a bad knock so was subbed, but he put on Pugh as his replacement. This switched Eze into the fetch and carry Amos role. Pugh offered very little on the left. It could have been Shadipo who did not make it on until the 88th minute. Clarke looked lively but he was not introduced until the 81st minute. But the only player with any urgency today was Chair - and as per usual he got the hook for Clarke. Eze was caught ball watching for the goal when Hunt intercepted a pass to him, the ball was crossed and Hall aws no where near Diedhiou it was a completely free header. Hall had a pretty poor game, Wallace is snail like going forward, Pugh has two gears; slow and slower. I thought the second half was crying out for Manning for Wallace - or Shapido to attack through the wings - but we had Pugh and Wallace on the left to try and win it. Wells missed an easy header when unmarked. Then there was the ref and his support act. Truly awful. Some decision I truly could not understand his reasoning. A bad day at the office with zero help from incompetent officials.

I disagree with ricky about Pugh today. I thought he gave us impetus on the left & created more than BOS did in the entire ninety. Clarke also looked far better than he did against Wednesday.
However, the tempo we played at, especially in the first half was too slow. We are at our best when we pass quickly & Chair was the only one that attempted this. It did improve as the game progressed but was too late.
Defensively I thought we looked reasonably secure & Ball was our best player. I much prefer him to Cameron!
The Bristol City numberr nine (the goalscorer) looked good. Wells won't be taking his place in the team!

Eze and Hugill will have to pick up the slack. Only 9 pts above the drop zone.

I think that this has been a potentially terrible week for the Club.
Anyone thinking that relegation is impossible or God forbid we do go down and we'll bounce back should have a look at clubs that we used to play regularly such as Coventry City. Another example if it were possible of a club as poorly managed over the past 10 seasons as ours. By managed I mean from the team owners.
We have suffered the corrupt Palladini, the plaything of Briatore and the mind numbing stupidity of Fernandez who thought he could create a successful football team by throwing tens of millions at it yet had no one in control that knew anything about football.
But I digress.
We are where we are. We have a few players that have potential and in that category I include Eze and Chair. They have potential. Nothing more.
We need to nurture these players, they are the lifeblood of a selling Club as that what we have to be. Learn the lessons of Brentford. Look how our fans look down on Brentford (you're only here for the Rangers) whilst they buy players cheap and sell them on for tidy sums. Oh yeah, where are they in the league? What was the result against us.
Rather than ridicule we should applaud and learn from teams such as Brentford who under the stewardship of Mark Devlin, a hoopstar through and though laid the foundation for commercially Brentford being in a far, far better place than us. I see Mark is now waving his commercial wand at Huddersfield Town.
But I digress
A win against Leeds set the agenda for a continued run of form in the Cup. But for reasons I still cannot fathom despite all the explanations, a winning side was changed and the chance to progress to a game possibly worth in excess of £500,000 and had we get Man City who knows how much more. We played a side that was a shadow of the 11 that beat the team destined for the play offs if not automatic promotion. We then had the Wells saga. Were we ever in a position to sign him or was that just marketing spin? Whatever, shit happens and he moved on. He wasn't our player, we don't appear to have the ability to produce strikers via the junior sides. If you loan a car you have to give it back.
We lost at Blackburn, lost defenders in the bloody transfer window and lost to Bristol.
There is a long way to go in this season and my fear is that we are just not good enough not to be drawn into what will become a 5-6 team relegation fight. In effect we have a team of youngsters playing men. It's great to see them and so much better than the mercenaries that Phil Beard made even richer than they already were. BUT unless we start picking up results and if we do get drawn into a relegation dog fight then people will look back and say, this was the week that changed the season.

I don't think we'll go down, but this is the reality of FFP and having a bloated squad.
I also think that a lot more teams are going to fall foul of FFP and end up having to take the measures we are taking.
If we go down then so be it, though. Most of us QPR fans on here have been through it before. I remember the season it was us and Plymouth that came back up from League 1 with Andy Thomson (remember him) scoring for fun. That season was much happier for me than any of the 3 we spent in the Premier League.
I do genuinely believe that this club is now being run properly and professionally, despite what other bridge jumping fans may think. That is going to stand us in good stead going forward, whatever division we find ourselves in.

We are where we are. We have a few players that have potential and in that category I include Eze and Chair. They have potential. Nothing more. Agree with most of what you say MarshBowles. Eze has been bullied out of games for some time now and as a result has become totally ineffective. This has prevented top flight clubs coming in for him this window and it is a great shame, he does not belong in the rough n tumble of the Championship. I do hope he finds a way to overcome the treatment he gets at this level but it seems unlikely. If BOS has an off day like he did against Bristol then there is no one else with the ability or confidence to drive us forward and we end up, like Saturday, playing “sideways” and getting the bird from the crowd. It is what it is, we support the side or we don’t. After 60 years of support one tends to realise that there are more important things in life than football and some of the abuse dealt out on social media towards our players is appalling and these people need to get a life.

That is going to stand us in good stead going forward, whatever division we find ourselves in. This, so very much this!! ^^^^ It is what it is, we are where we are and we know why. This is the culmination of the events from 2011 up to a couple of seasons ago. Incredible work has been done behind the scenes by Ferdinand & Hoos to steady the ship and turn the club around. It could well take a couple more seasons of this before we can really start challenging again but, when we do it'll be sustainable. Does anyone really want to go back to the days of splashing out millions on mercenaries, getting into the premier league and getting completely humiliated. Like nomar, I don't think we'll go down. 9 points is still a considerable gap and back to back defeats is hardly a run. And yes, 2003/04 is my favourite season as an Rs fan, especially after the disappointment ofdefeat in the play-off final the previous year.
