I’m not sure what the fuss is about.

It was blatantly obvious after 4 games that this squad was a relegation side. McClaren brought in 4 loans, 3 of which were a great success. 2 of those 3 have been missing and the other, Wells, can’t be expected to carry the side whilst they’ve been out so long.

Subsequently we’ve been falling back down the league with essentially the squad that was not good enough at the start of the season.

If the players aren’t up to it then a manager, whoever he is, can only do so much about it.

Now there's a unicorn, a stevec post that both makes sense and I can totally agree with.

our biggest problem isn’t the manager So MH and 'arry were blameless As far as I know, it's been the owners and LF who had the say on managers. I don't think it was just MH who interviewed us looks like Steve did too. [Post edited 2 Mar 2019 18:29]

Go on then what’s the solution?

So far as I can tell you’re the type to sit behind a keyboard stirring up problems but realistically you don’t have any clue how to sort this out.

Our biggest issue is we can’t spend money to improve the squad. This had been the same for Holloway, McClaren etc hence we are standing still.

You’re not helping with your shit stirring as the instability you seek could be the difference between surviving and playing league one football.

But you don’t actually go to games so it’s easy to sit there and give it the large.

Completely agree with this. I don’t think now is the time to sack SM but I am surprised that he seems to be getting away with such a dreadful run and overall a poor season, with the money spent on loan players the very least I’d expect is a significant improvement in points and league position, hasn’t happened. It looks to me that McLaren is some how living off our FA Cup run, wins against a weakened Leeds team, team from League 2 and a loss.

"But who is the replacement and why would you expect better results? " This is something that posters like Rangers67 who only ever appear on here after defeats and call for the manager's head will never answer.

It's a loaded question that's why, it's not down to supporters to come up with the answer but the clubs of which they have been pretty good at getting poor managers in for nearly a decade

I’m not in the McLaren Out camp just yet but don’t think he could have any complaints if he was. He’s basically saved by our lack of options.

First things first Mclaren needs to coach that back four , how many goals have we conceded ffs
We got lucky against Leeds in the week if lumley hadn’t of made that double save we would have lost , it’s as clear as anything either Freeman or Eze or even both are going to be sold so what ever crumbs that are get over it’s vital we invest in a at least 3 defenders a left back a quick centre half and a right back
Let’s get it right we have been walloped by fcuking Brentford not Barcelona

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

Get well soon but that doesn’t change the fact you’re regularly on here trying to stir up things up.

I genuinely hope you get better but for those of us who watch the R’s regularly I don’t think posts like this are helpful at all.

But if you have some ideas on new manager / the direction of the club I’d be interested to hear them.

CiderwithRsie

We all know we've just lost a stack of games but what's the point of going on about Ollie yet again, or calling for the manager to be sacked unless there's a better option?

Chances are we're not going down due to the excellent run the same manager put together earlier. He's far from perfect but he has shown signs of learning from mistakes (e.g. look at the FA Cup campaign after the Caribou nonsense) which makes him our first manager coach to do that since, I dunno, probably Gerry Francis.

Tbf , we have been very olly like with winless runs and playing utter sh!te away from home so not much has changed.

You can argue why we didn’t keep olly all you like but in truth all the previous managers have been pretty much useless but nobody is on here crying over Ramsay, jfh etc

The worry for me is mclaren’s job ain’t going to get any easier next season with a much worse squad so we are relying on his coaching skills which as it stands are farking sh!t

I’ve had enough of the whole lot if I’m honest, it don’t matter what we do we’re fking cursed anyway

We have 42 points with eleven games to go, which seems about right for a club that is skint.

Getting away with it on 18:34 - Mar 2 by WestonsuperR

In case it's escaped your attention, two of the loan players,Cameron and Hemed, have been injured for lengthy spells. Hemed missed nine and Cameron has so far missed fourteen league games and is probably still at least a couple of matches away from returning.

The stats prove that when he plays, we don't usually lose (3 in the 13 he played) which included the game he got injured in and only played 45 minutes of, which we were drawing at the time.

Add in the fact Rangel, although not a loan player, was one of our best performers as well prior to him getting injured at the same time as Cameron. McClaren can't do anything about players getting long term injured pretty much all at once.

Steve McClaren, Ian Holloway, whats the bloody difference? absolutely nothing as far as I can see, unless somethings wrong with my bloody head we're in the same position now as we were this time last season.
Nothings bloody changed and wont anytime soon, I've long since realized we are (like it or not) a lower half Championship club who should just about survive this season with what seems to me to be bloody mediocre players.
What concerns me though is next season and the players we are going to lose, I'm not in the know but I believe we are on a transfer embargo (apart from loans).
We've just got done by our local rivals on 'their' bloody manor and every now and then on this MB we get to see pictures of their new ground rising out of the ground.
Today hurts of course it does, but take it on the chin and get used to it, life's a bitch I just wish for two maybe three games on the trot we could play reasonably well consistently.
Thank fck for the terminally shit Bolton and Ipswich and whoever else you wish to mention.
Back to McClaren, his recent results are a disgrace and he should be told in no uncertain to get his finger out and earn his bloody keep.
We've got tough times ahead of us on the pitch and off of it whether we like it or not and this includes next season.
Why the fcking hell I had to walk into bloody Loftus Road for the first time at the age of eight with my big brother way back in 1958 I don't know.
Still could be worse.

My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

It can’t be a huge surprise signing players well over 30 don’t last a 46 game season.

None of them have been value for money really. We’ve needed Wells and Cameron particularly but all four have either been injured for long periods, mediocre or, in Hemed’s case, both.

Hard to argue with this. McClaren as p*ssed off with them as we are.

I think it is easy now to attack the manager. I've been guilty of having a go at him but the reality is the players aren't concentrating and aren't doing their jobs consistently. I wrote a thread this morning almost warning the players against complacency and they did just that.

Players at the moment for me are a bigger problem than McClaren. Not putting in consistent shifts against players who aren't really any better than them but that listen to their managers.

I think it is the players that need to get a grip and listen to what they have been told and get on with it better.
