It’s the journey, Clive…..and the weird pubs you find along the way.
Seriously, loads of respect/admiration for anyone able to go AND wanting to do so on current performances.
Chapeau. |

It reminds me of an alternative 12 step programme…
1. We admitted we were powerless over transfers — that our players were or had become injured without contact
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than a CEO could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of a DOF as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to QPR, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. We’re entirely ready to have QPR remove all these defects of character.
And so on…. |

I believe you are correct, Myke - it just manifests in different ways for different people.
Different strokes and all that. |

There’s an obvious follow up question then, Mart :-) !
If he’s there each game and sitting with people doing analysis and can see what we saw - why continue to leave it as-is, with this weekend a prime example. Even it was addressed at half time, it would had been an improvement.
Perhaps someone from the club could also officially correct what was said previously about not working on Saturdays, especially if it was made as a throw away comment.
And yes, I agree - train everyone to stick their hand up regardless !!! Practice it very day until muscle memory kicks in !
(Matt for Mart, sorry mate / I know that’s annoying). [Post edited 17 Feb 17:13]

You can only assume that with the injury list we have, they are reluctant to make loans - just in case another fly drops.
Can’t loan Kolli if he’s the only second striker - Bennie the utility player that covers anyone and anything.
What would we do had Kone stayed down and been out for two weeks after the heavy contact on Saturday ?
Cant loan the Aussie RB or Esqi either right now.
Madsen out for a couple of weeks = Morgan needs to stay and cover.
Root cause = injuries rather than reluctance to loan I would guess. |

Indeed - I guess if you don’t work Saturdays you can’t change anything in the game, which we probably should have done earlier this weekend.
At one point preseason, Nourry spent the majority of the game that he attended, just talking 121 with Bould on the sidelines. It was notable in duration and the isolation from the other coaching staff. Then as you say, the ‘master class’ - can’t remember if that was that before or after the 7:1 Cov debacle but suspect it was before.
He probably values his views and experience but you can’t have someone like that in the mix, just stalking the head coach but not being available to help adapt in a game.
All the money and flexibility, no responsibility ultimately.
Bould should have been interviewed post Saturday’s game - if he’s really doing the job. The goals were down to us being wide open or leaving a massive gap between two CDs. |

My theory on why we have Bould is the same with Hoos.
Both are insurance policies should the Head Coach or CEO require replacing, even if it’s an interim role.
Unfortunately, they are expensive policies and in the case of Bould, clearly not helping on the pitch based on Saturday’s evidence.
There was no mitigation of a three game week, no travel and plenty of time to prepare. We were playing a team in transition, in the bottom three - at home.
Despite that, we still made the wrong selections and waited too long to make subs, the first three of which should probably have started the game.
Even if we had changed or reorganised at halftime, we would have had a better chance of a result, correcting the clear issues from the first half.
Can’t really say I’m surprised or annoyed, just becoming detached a little more, game by game as we can’t adapt, spot issues or seemingly understand what the opposition are doing and at least counter/negate it.
I know standards are mentioned regularly but IMO, this was more a case of gross incompetency with the added bonus of trying to kill two of our better players to death in the process. |

That there is our niche - the injured that can only perform in injury time.
Thanks Clive, I really would have been fine with the CBA like the team this week l, so CBA with the report. But as always, appreciate the graft and felt the girth. |

Completely agree Dorse, although having slept on it twice, it feels more like detachment syndrome than annoyance today. Vale’s corner made me turn off and find something else to do.
Field’s departure and the inevitable weekend Injuries haven’t helped matters.
Had Hayden seen a straight red and Madsen is out for a few weeks, what’s the next best option for us ? Same at Left Back where we had cover with Field.
As my old man would say - ‘there’s nothing like planing - and that’s nothing like planning !’
Luckily Kone is tough but at one point I thought we’d lost him too on Saturday. [Post edited 16 Feb 10:40]
