The table looks very depressing alright. Four points adrift from fourth bottom and a goal difference of minus twelve to the club above. The team behind us have a match in hand.
Paying GA off and bringing in a new man would probably scupper FFP but there needs to be a clarion call for someone to turn things around.

Saturday can be a depressing day. Lose to Huddersfield to tighten our grip on the bottom 3, Arsenal lose their unbeaten record and England lose to South Africa twice.

I'll get my coat
Crikey, that hadn't even crossed my mind!
Wish it hadn't crossed mine
It says something when the Arse are the only chink of daylight because they didn't lose to Chelski.

The cricket was nothing short of embarrassing.
The rugby was a truly valiant, yet ultimately fruitless effort.
We remain in the bottom 3. Less said the better.

So, only the one very small positive.

Don't worry, when we're arse-whipped by Leicester on Saturday, decisions
will have to me made.

I agree, I think that game will be the final straw. It feels like an accident taking place in slow motion…

I am in agreement, especially if we lose tomorrow. I still have nightmares about the 7-1 a few years ago.

The only little saving grace, from a purely selfish point of view, is that if we get relegated we will be a lesser part of the new EFL/Sky farrago starting next season.
I've been thinking of relinquishing my ST next season as many/all of the most attractive games will be moved away from Saturday afternoon under the new shameful contract.

...I have already bought the flights for this coming Saturday - spending a fortune, almost triple than usual cause of the mid term or what ever is coming - ...then I got also those for Bristol home....but now I am really considering to slow down if not even stop going if the club is not taking some measures...it is depressing and I don't see the reason to keep on spending money and wasting time in order to get depressed....Already some of the guys who sometimes joined me on the trip to LR have stepped back saying they are not going until GA is in charge.... :roll: :roll: :roll:

Well, here we are in late October, the season of mellow fruitfulness and changeful autumn. Already we are six points and goal difference away from safety.

Guess most teams in the Championship consider two relegation places already filled.

Bring a calculator on Saturday to keep a tally of the score, John.

Come on guys, how long have you been QPR fans ?

We've lost 5 in a row and haven't won in 8. They've won 12 out of 13. It's got streaky 1-0 home win written all over it.

Or possibly an 0-8 record home defeat. Who's to say ?
Are headphones getting bigger, or are idiots getting smaller ?

Corals have us at 15/2 which is far too flattering and nowhere near the incentive for me to back this shower 🚿of scheiser. Realistic odds would be more like 20/1. It's like the bookies think Ainsworth has been holding his winning master plan in reserve for Leycester. :roll:

7.5 to 1 is generous in my book - Any given Sunday and all that.
Shame we're playing on Saturday
