Thread | So what are we going to do about it?
by DejR_vu at 18:35 9 Mar 2026
People rightly angry, but as a fanbase we've collectively accepted this for way too long.
We're limited in what we can do, but we're not entirely powerless. What are people prepared to do to try and bring about change?
- don't renew season tickets?
- for the occasionals, boycott games (no one would be missing much)?
- boycott merchandise?
- don't buy food and drink in the stadium?
- make the club / owners aware that's what's happening until the changes that need to be made are made?
It'll hit the club in the pocket short-term but not as much as relegation or the seemingly inevitable result of the (non) development model.
Might achieve nothing, but might shock a club so used to taking a passive and compliant fanbase for granted into waking up.
So, what are people prepared to do?

Anyone else get their news from BBC news website ? I've noticed spelling mistakes aplenty recently. This would have been unthinkable until recently. Is this the ugly head of AI rearing itself ?
I'm the one that usually misspells.. Or is it mispells ? |

Thread | This Season Almost A Replica of The McLaren Season
by NorthantsHoop at 11:37 9 Mar 2026
Sort of feel that this season has fallen into a trough of where we were with Steve McLaren in 2018/19 season, poor start good mid point and drastic fall away in late winter/early spring. I hope like McLaren's contract there is an option to review and part ways with Stephan at the end of the season. To be honest I never really felt we should have let Warburton & Eustace go in 2022, they could have built something, but no the politics always gets in the way. Another thing there must be more to these injuries especially Chair, Poku and the new Coventry signing that they are just always injured?

Thread | Issues with the Squad
by PblockrowB at 10:52 9 Mar 2026
Over the course of this season there have been a few issues that have been noted from the upper loft
the amount of soft tissue injuries
The fact after 55-60 minutes are players look like they are running in treacle
The general lack of quality balls in the final third
The fact we have run players into the ground due to lack of depth
The lack of updates on players injuries
The general lack of depth
The fact we are playing Joe Walsh who is no where near championship quality
The lack of being able to do the basics (see boro game and simple passes)
The naive defending
Let me know if there are any more issue people can think of
Let me know if there are anymore

Thread | Boro Post Mortem
by ScottPurdue8 at 10:50 9 Mar 2026
Long time reader, first time contributor.
So many questions need answering… where do I even start?
I’ve stayed largely silent throughout most of this season. When the appointment was made, I wasn’t particularly excited, but I wasn’t completely against it either. Like most Rangers fans, I backed him because that’s what we do.
However, aside from the home victory against Leicester City, I’ve struggled to see any real progress in either performances or results compared to what we were seeing under Martí Cifuentes. If anything, we seem to have regressed.
The manager’s personality also doesn’t appear to suit the club. QPR is a place where character matters, where the connection between players, fans and the club identity is important. Right now that connection feels completely absent. There also appear to be issues within the squad itself.
Paul Nardi has been completely frozen out despite being our number one last season. Rayan Kolli has barely been given any meaningful minutes, and Ilias Chair has essentially been missing in action since a mysterious injury in December.
Then there’s the past week which, quite frankly, has been humiliating.
Whether Stephan tried to be clever tactically against Middlesbrough or whether he was forced into changes due to personnel, the outcome was a complete failure.
We lined up in what looked like a 4-5-1 system, but the players clearly didn’t understand their roles or assignments. Koki Saito was pressing Luke Ayling when Ayling had shifted into a centre-back role, leaving our entire left side exposed. RND was constantly being dragged into 2-v-1 situations and left completely vulnerable.
In midfield, Jonathan Varane and Isaac Hayden looked unsure of how to deal with their structure. There was no cohesion, no control, and no clear plan. Kieran Morgan worked tirelessly and the same can be said for Kone.
Right now the squad looks completely devoid of confidence. The players look checked out, unsure of themselves, and unsure of what they’re being asked to do.
Beyond Jimmy Dunne and Ronnie Edwards, I struggle to see real leaders in this team. There’s a lack of fighters, a lack of characters, and a lack of players with genuine Championship experience who understand what it takes to compete in this league week in, week out.
When we won the the league in 2010–11, it showed exactly what was required. We had experienced Championship players like Clint Hill, Paddy Kenny and Shaun Derry. We supplemented that with hungry lower-league signings like Jamie Mackie, and genuine foreign quality such as Faurlín and Adel Taarabt.
That blend gave us leadership, fight, and quality.
Right now, we simply don’t have enough of those ingredients. Yes, there is experience in players like Jimmy Dunne and Ilias Chair, but beyond that the squad lacks the leaders and characters needed to drive standards and drag the team through difficult moments.
It’s always easy to blame the manager when results go against you, and supporters are often guilty of reacting emotionally after defeats. But the truth is this poor form hasn’t just appeared overnight. Since the win against Leicester City the overall level of performance has been nothing short of abysmal.
Yes, there have been a handful of wins along the way, but even in those games the performances have been flat, uninspiring and, at times, completely devoid of identity.
Something has to change. And right now, the direction of travel points firmly towards the manager. |

Getting a free ride this season.
Hold up play is sometimes good, but mostly sh1t.
Slow as a slug. Half arsed jumps for headers.
A rather measly 7 goals in 34 games (1 goal every 4.8 games). Charlie Kelman 5 goals in 26 (1 goal in 5.2 games).
No better than Dykes. Who himself was piss poor, but still scored 12 in his first season. |

I cannot see anything but another walloping on the way in midweek. I know their form has dipped slightly, but they have still only lost two at home all season (one of which to Middlesbrough which is understandable after their performance today) and will be looking for a reaction after losing to Charlton.
Part of a dreaded three game week, morale at a season low, no returning players from injury.
We've had a 4-0 and a 5-0 in recent weeks, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar scoreline on Wednesday. Good luck to all travelling fans - I'd book the 8:30 train home if I were you. |

Thread | The Jeremy Kyle Lie Detector Test
by numptydumpty at 20:20 8 Mar 2026
We were told via WLS being informed Poku likely to be in the squad today.
We have had these announcements before and we dont see these players for several more weeks.
If AI is being used for recruitment, can we please have Nourry and Williams take lie detector tests a la Kyle to check their squad injury update announcements have any element of truth in them.
I fear they may fail the tests !!!! |
