Can’t even be angry anymore. Just so obvious that this shower aren’t good enough for this level.

It says a lot when the manager gets booked half an hour into the game

[harr]

Nothing else will be acceptable other than a win or Marti out the door.
And whoever at the club decided Celar should take a penalty after not scoring a goal all season should lose his job on the spot, these ridiculous decisions the club keeps endlessly making are embarrassing.

[Lonegunmen]

It's gone beyond anger, it's beyond frustration, it's even beyond caring. Its down to unavoidable acceptance.

Pity about our penalty miss. However, there are signs we can turn a corner. It's our team so of course we need to continue our support!

Another disappointment, but I'm not sure sacking Marti would help. Who would we get instead? We may get a 'new manager bounce' for a short period and the new manager may be fortunate in getting the injured players back at the start of his tenure, but that is not a long term solution. I can't work out, due to the opacity in the club's management, who should be held responsible for the current state of affairs. For me, it is whoever signed the players we did sign over the summer; players who have been largely ineffective. Was that Marti? Or Nourri? If anyone knows, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but my finger is currently pointing at the latter.

Celar needs to be dropped now, for his own sake as well as that of the team. His confidence is totally shot to pieces. If necessary, try someone from the academy until Frey is fit.

Games in the Championship often turn on fine points. Dunne made a howler.
But I was surprised that the heads did not drop.
We all said in our row 'Why is Cellar taking it and not Madsen?' Cellar hit the outside of the post and even the best do that sometimes.
It happens though when all luck and confidence has departed.
His body language after that though - he was totally shot. Do you give him the hook and destroy him even more, or hope that he gets a break?
But we even kept going after the penalty miss.
I thought the subs were quite late at 60 mins. Lloyd is a novice but his chasing and hurrying put Cellar to shame.
The equaliser from R block was just a blur. They gave it to Saito initially over the PA that in Ellerslie is as productive as our results.
I agree that it comes back to the recruitment. Possibly too many who needed far too much time to settle.
Saito was our star man. Morrison did well on his first start, Nardi saved us a couple of times.
Both Varane and Madsen are improving.
But we bet the farm on Cellar and frankly, the Championship is not ever going to be his home.
As for Marti, the chanting of his name for such a sustained period, should tell the owners that those who go to games do not put the blame at his door, even if he had a say in the recruitment.
Trouble is that our owners are never there to hear that.
Lose at Cardiff and Watford and they will pull the trigger and our season will be over before December.

11 points from 16 matches , 48 points is shocking and 1 win from 16 matches without a home win all season would mean you would sacked across most leagues across England and Europe …..
If Marti thought it was good practice to let Celar take that penalty, sorry that’s a sackable offence alone in the current situation we are in.
I have no qualms if the board sack Marti for the start of this season, 9 home games without a home win is a record no previous Manager at QPR
has ever achieved in our history and at the minute can’t see anything other extending longer to be a record with us for another 100 years.
Celar is Washington,Hulse and Stefan Moore all moulded into one, diabolical finisher.
If the Club thought Frey and Celar , could be an improvement of Frey, Dykes and Sinclair, the person that made that decision should leave his post immediately, this weakness up front has made Marti’s job so much harder, such incompetence from the Management yet again and again.
The other larger factor this year was Hayden.
