    A dire performance produces a 7 goal thriller and a win.
    Emmanuel-Thomas is clearly not a footballer and yet scores two good goals.
    Henry and Tosser with not a tackle between them, play as holding midfielders while Faurlin and Sandro sit on the bench.
    Phillips, who is touted as a Premier League talent, plays the full 90 minutes but is virtually invisible.
    Rob Green has two feet but can't kick. And can't jump...or catch...or...
    Ramsey has shed loads of coaching badges but is unable to organise a defence.

    I'm sure there are many others...

    We have the best attack in the league (18 goals)
    But the worst defence (20 goals)

    Angella looks classy but is actually a very poor defender.

    I'd take all that every single week. A win is all that matters.

    Interesting stat - good job we're those scoring goals. We actually share that defensive record with bottom club Bristol City (7 pts) and not far behind Brentford & Rotherham with 19 goals conceded (both with 8 pts).

    Also down there on 7 pts, Preston have a more stingy 13 goals conceded record, but have only scored 7 (until yesterday Bolton had only scored 6)

    You wonder if Bristol City perhaps now wish they hadn't released JET?

    You got relegated last season, but one of the players involved (Vargas) has been nominated for this year's Ballon D'Or.

    Twat face Redknapp didn't rate him and either didn't play him or played him out of position!

    Our fans preach patience and call for the manager to get sacked at the first opportunity...

    I resemble that remark:emoticon-0100-smile
    Speaking of resembling, Ramsey has been our manager since Xmas last year.
    Our team leaked goals last season .................. and even after buying new players, continues to leak goals every game, this season.
    The team looks alright on paper so one can only assume that his coaching methods and or his ability to manage the players comes into question.
    We are fortunate enough to be scoring goal which sometimes gives us a chance to either draw or win BUT we continue to leak goals.
    Some may say Ramsey might be a good coach. I say his management skills are non existent and his coaching skills are equal to it.
    As a fan, I can only hope we keep scoring .................. more than what we leak.
    I'm not looking for promotion, just a steady player building platform to push for promotion next season.
    At present, we have nothing. We haven't plateaued. We have no idea what each game will bring with the exception of leaking several goals per game.

    I am not sure a 'dire performance' is fair on JET, Chery and Konch.

    Ramsey since Xmas? No he didn't take over until after Redknapp left after the January window closed and had no way of improving the squad last season. This last summer they seem to have been restrained by a Budget and little has been used on the defense, where it obviously still needs it.

    Insightful post. Ramsey buys more time by the Bolton win, but...conceding 3 goals against a Bolton that has struggled to score since the season began? And the quality of our defence at times sub-schoolboy standard. He's under the spotlight from all (thinking) QPR fans...

    Stop conceding goals we look to be the best team in the league

    Stop scoring and we.......


    Whilst I'm firmly in the out camp I do sympathise with Ramsey on midfield selection, he had to bring in his own but has to play who performs in training, I don't think for one minute that Ramsey wanted Henry to take up his option, but goes on to play him week in, week out while the fans foam at the mouth. I do respect that way of doing things strangely.

    That's all based on the assumption that Les isn't picking the team, of course.

    All coached seem to have a blind spot about one or two players.
