It feels like since jurassic times QPR teams have failed to emulate their true ability in front of the TV cameras or against local rivals. We go nuts about it season in season out, with different players and managers. With the odd blip in fortunes on both TV and locally very little seems to change.
Other teams, mainly the ones we're playing don't seem to have this problem. We can blame this manager and that one, those players and the others, but we have an alarming habit of producing similar retreating, out of character performances on TV and against London teams. It is a seasonal habit.
Is it some kind of curse that we have allowed ourself to believe in, that is past down from team to team, or is it something else? Do we genuinely have a fear of being on TV or is it sods law? Why does it feel like copy and paste for our performances against local rivals?
Is there something basically wrong in the historical culture at the club regarding TV performances in general and playing London/local rivals? Does any problem then bleed into whoever is at the club in any given year?
Can it be turned around or is it worse in our imaginations that it is in reality? Especially as we can see how potentially capable this particular team is. |  |
