Did he have a say in letting field go? That decision probably Nouri made seems crazy with the injuries we were crying out for his experience the last night. |  | |  |

If 2nd best is acceptable then that’s all you will achieve
Agree that for many years now underachieving has been accepted by the “powers that be”
To me the club has lost its identity. We have an owner who hardly ever attends matches. A CEO who despite his lack of experience thinks it’s acceptable to also be DOFand to treat supporters with disdain.
There is no Mr QPR like in Jim Gregory’s day. No characters, no one actually driving matters, no one engaging with the fans.
Look at Wrexham. Ok it’s an ego ride for 2 Hollywood stars and a tv show too but those owners turn up to watch matches. They have engaged with the club and the town. It’s a can do and positive attitude they have instillled. It might be all for the tv show but no matter, look what it’s doing for the club and the supporters. Winning is acceptable, losing is not. Compare that to QPR
I don’t believe anything will change for the better until we have a proper “football” owner who takes a true interest in the club and is seen walking the walk. They would then need to complete a complete clear out of the solely data driven management and fitness staff who, in my mind, are part of our problem.
In 60 years of supporting QPR I have seen many good times and plenty of bad times. I cannot see the good times coming back until sweeping ownership changes and management changes are made |
It’s nothing to do with having characters on the Board and everything to do with having wily old pros with no resale value and massive sponsorships to cover that. We were only four minutes from being above Wrexham and beating them twice in the season. It was only a brain fart from Mbengue that changed that.
Yes it’s bloody disappointing and lessons have to be learned but you can’t say we SHOULD be as good as Premiership parachute side Southampton with their actual, literal Premiership quality players.
Yes our injury record is unacceptable. Yes we need to learn quickly how to manage games and not leak goals. But throwing everything under the bus because we aren’t as good as recent Premiership sides. OTT. |  | | |

I thought the first half was decent.
We responded well to going a goal down, and I was hopeful that we could come back out for the 2nd half and continue with that positive reaction.
Then they got that bloody goal right at the end of the 1st half – Walsh hesitated, I think it was Mbengue that lost the little fella, and that was that - killer blow.
The capitulation wasn't good, obviously, and the mentality of this team to not be able to follow-up a good performance with another good performance is concerning, definitely, but certainly not a surprise given that this has been our modus operandi for quite some time.
I don't really understand the 'is he for real!' reaction, or some of the other over-the-top reaction, but that's me, and you're all entitled to your opinions.
I'm not happy with mediocrity, but i'm happy that we're moving in the right direction, and away from the relegation dogfight we've had ad nauseum the past few years. I don't think our problems can be fixed that quickly - we're going to move 2 steps forward, and 3 steps back for a while, but at times this season, the team has shown belief that we can look to the playoffs as a target, and its probable that we won't get there this season, but maybe next year?
Its a chastening loss, and the 2nd half was a hard watch, but I still think we're better off now, under Stephan, and dare i say it, even under Nourry, than we have been in many a year.
Thats my opinion, anyway. |  | | |

If you keep changing the manager and things stay the same then the manager isn't the reason for that. |

Who'd want to be a football manager?
He gets a great result on Saturday and names the same 11 for the next game. From Saturday afternoon he would have been asking that starting 11 if they felt good enough to start again last night, and consulting with his physios/conditioning staff as well. His players obviously said yes, they were ready to go.
Let's face it, if he's tweaked the line up and we lost we would have been throwing our toys out the pram that he didn't leave it alone. So he leaves it alone and gets dogs abuse. I looked at the team last night before we started and thought, well the players obviously feel good to go again so why change it. The problem is they were very leggy and going to Hull and back and then down to Southampton hasn't given then time to fully recover.
Also the injury list is now beyond ridiculous compared with 2 months ago. You look at the bench and it's really limited in terms of changing a game from an attacking perspective. I am sure Stephan would have liked to rest Kone for a game or so if Burrell was available and the new lad hadn't knackered himself on the first day of training. He also lost Madsen last night and that is a massive blow because realistically he now only has Vale available as a playmaker. No sign of Chair, Poku could still be a few weeks away from a start, Dembele out till next season, Smyth injured, Burrell obviously a way off and the new lad crocked. The decision to let Field go is coming back to bite us in midfield too.
It's fine turning heat on Stephan but he's running out of troops. My bigger concern is Steve Bould. The erratic abilities and inabilities of the defence and defensive performances must to a large degree be down to what he's doing and not doing with them in training.
At least Stephan opened with an apology to the fans. It was much needed but he did that. Apart from that, I'd hate to be a football manager. Especially here, because you win a game and all is well and you lose one and you're chased out of town by angry torch carrying villagers. |  |

To be truthful, and though I'm probably never going to warm to JS, it surprises me (and may surprise others) that I find a measure of decent sanity in what you say here in the proverbial cold light of day. I'll have a bit of a think - but just a bit ;-) |  |

In fact, Southampton, the Premiership parachutists, and supposedly a cut above lil ol' QPR, were actually exactly level on points with us at the start of play. That's the thing I really object to in our manager (and one or two posters) - excusing our thrashing by talking them up. I've no idea what JS is trying to achieve by saying a team like 'this kind of opponent' can really punish us apart from more or less saying we saw this coming/can expect it, or what the hell he means by saying the performance is 'probably his responsibility', and what, if so, he's apologising for. In short, his post-match talk is as much a car crash as his team's performance - mealy-mouthed, evasive, and basically bullsh*t.
PS I guess I've had second thoughts about my second thoughts!  [Post edited 25 Feb 10:49]

“We have had an ok season for us.“
And there you have it.
We Accept 16th For Little Old QPR Fan Club
#Standards |
Not accepting of 16th at all.
Just in favour of giving a manager a few seasons to get in as many players of his own- appreciate some will be of the clubs choosing and working with all at QPR and how we currently operate and giving a manager time.
Tbh, if you keeping getting rid of the managers after a few bad games, that would be like accepting 16th as the dream, because thats whats happened here for years.
Lets try a different way and see where this takes us. [Post edited 25 Feb 10:52]

Some of this is also down to the seemingly Jekyll and Hyde performances the team puts in. Is that Stephan's fault? Probably no more than his predecessors. There is no particular reason why the same starting 11 that beat Hull couldn't go and get something at Southampton. He had a very limited ability to change much and as Monkey Roots said, we weren't that bad first half, but mistakes and bad luck with Madsen cost us dearly. Mistakes and injuries are not really the managers fault in game. Did he do the right thing second half bringing a few key players off? The morning after, perhaps he did. Kone has been running on empty but is the 'senior' striker at the moment.
Being QPR manager is a tough gig, particularly as we seem to be this Jekyll and Hyde type outfit week to week. The only one who seemed to have a handle on it was Warburton, but he had far more to work with than any that followed him. Also, we dip have dips under Warburton as well. Beale only got lucky for a bit. Ainsworth couldn't turn it around, Critchley couldn't turn it around, Cifuentes was good at keeping us up but had horrendous losing streaks and that brings us to Stephan. He had a full squad 2 months ago and now he's got dev squad players on the bench and one out and out fit striker, whose running on fumes.
Overall, I agree with Monkey Roots. Bar last night and a handful of other heavy defeats, I think he's done okay given what we have here. Although he has to find a way of changing the season upon season Jekyll and Hyde game to game mentality we seem to be afflicted with - but that seems to have been a thing for ages, and doesn't seem easy to solve. | |

What about if you change the manager for a coach but none of the other coaches work for him directly ?
It appears to be the same outcome on the surface, but it’s a slightly different construct this time.
Throw the DoF role into the mix and it becomes even more problematic for the ‘head coach.’
IMO, we have a ‘Coach without portfolio’ and I don’t think that’s really sustainable. |  |

The manager isn't the issue. He's done fine this season.
The issue is that an already run ragged group of players are expected to put in high level performances days apart with lots of travel in the middle.
You also have to question, once again, the squad building. Ronnie Edwards came in so Morrison and Field had to go out. We haven't been able to rest or replace Madsen at all and now he's likely out for the season.
Bad injuries and big spending means the squad is unbalanced as we look to keep an even keel.
Didn't expect a win last night, but the capitulation was unacceptable. But that's on more than just the manager |  |

Bosh I agree with most of your post(s), however, those opening remarks.
It was patently obvious to me, and others, that players needed resting. We have now lost Madsen, to add to Burrell through overplaying them. Norrington-Davis, we were told can't play three times in a week. So there he was for the second away game, with minimum recovery time. I know he can't play on Saturday but he couldn't really play last night either.
Maybe our problems are down to conditioning but that is something to review and correct in the summer.
For now, we have to deal with the current situation. Last night's game was a ridiculous selection. Thank god that someone thought take Kone off, before you make his situation worse. | | | |

To be honest, i agreed with everything he was saying and why he was saying this publicly and think its a better post match interview than Holloway would have done who would have gone all out on his players and so often under Holloway we went on long losing streaks as well as long winning streaks likewise.
But its true we were more than in the game until the second goal at such a bad time.
And if he throws all the players under the bus after that publicly, even though it shouldnt, that could deflate players even more.
i think most of the team know tonight was not acceptable and there has to be an immediate reaction.
Think that interview is psychollogically well thought out. ie we need the players to be fighting and competing in the next game, not frightened of making more mistakes.
He has history this season, in that on a few occasions we have been dreadful and next game has been like chalk and cheese.
For me, if he goes all out that was a disgrace a la Holloway, we go on a losing streak. This way we could turn it around at the weekend.
And am sure those sentiments were not the same as done in the dressing room. He will be pointing out all sorts of errors and tbf i think its not good to publicly humilate a team. The game itself has already done that.
We want a reaction, next game. Not a futher capitulation. |
Probably my favourite post on this.
As an aside, watching any post match interview following your team getting pummelled and expecting to be calmer afterwards is never going to happen.
He cannot publicly call out young players, as he'd quickly lose the dressing room - but he's correct we were in the game for large parts of the first half before the incident on that corner, and everything fell apart.
No doubt he won't have had the same calm demeanour in the dressing room that he had in the interview, he would have wanted to win this game just as bad as the games either side of this one. | | | |

Yeah, I don’t think Stephan is the problem. And I don’t think there was much else he could say in that presser which would have resulted in anything good.
I don’t agree with him on everything (Field, Varane, inverted wingers) but I like that he took the bull by the horns after Coventry early in the season, changing shape and tactics, and I think his calm demeanour after games is good for trying to keep this young squad on an even keel. He makes mistakes, no doubt, and reacts too slowly in games now, but so do a lot of managers. Speak to other many fans of other clubs and they’ll say the same.
Yesterday he had a heavily depleted squad to pick from. And his first choice central midfielder pulled up after half an hour. His bench was inexperienced. We were playing a parachute club who’s 3rd or 4th choice centre half we just spent £4.5m on.
The problem isn’t really Stephan; it’s the bloke doing the squad building, and the bloke charged with conditioning them and keeping them fit. The latter in particular needs addressing, urgently. |  | | |

A fair point Wilkins. The question is why is the squad injury ravaged? Again. |
That is a separate question, and agree something is clearly wrong, to those coming on here and slagging off the coach and players yet again. Some of the comments are staggering when we consider how young and inexperienced this squad is.
It wasn't a good 2nd half, but those players would have learnt more from that than DS football or winning 5-0.
What I don't get is that some on here want the club to be better and financially stable, but go completely nuts when these sort of results happen, which is inevitable. Calm the f@ck down as it WILL happen again. | |

Well yes there is an element for me of the manager seeing/believing the data he's given by the medical team (assuming that data is correct!)
But also he should be able to see with his own eyes who is doing OK and who is struggling. Of course if you ask players if they're good to go again, they'll say yes regardless! They're pros, they don't want to lose their place in the team especially after a good win.
With these three game weeks Stephan has veered from making too many changes, to making none at all! He needs to find a balance. Can only hope that he is learning. |  |

It’s only a better season than last year if we finish higher up in the league, surely? At a push you could argue it’s a better season if we’re in the same position but we have developed one of our youth players into a starter, or we sell someone for big bucks to fund further investment and protect our PSR position.
At present there is a risk none of those will have happened. And this squad has had a lot more spent on it than last season’s so we really should be better than last season. |
If we’d had the equivalent injuries last season that we’ve had this season we’d have been relegated with Cifuentes. Not sure how you can judge Stéphan properly based on what players he’s had available but of course some people are doing so and think he’s sh!t as we’re not in the playoffs….. |  | | |

We were playing, as I pointed out, a team that started the game with the same number of points as us, having scored three goals more. Why doesn't Tyler start with that in his interview just to dispel some of the bullsh*t about how well resourced they are in advance?
I don't deny Madsen's departure helped to hasten our demise, as did our reversion to terrible defending and serious culpabilty from Walsh, but I don't remember anyone whining about injuries after the Coventry game or, for that matter, at Hull. The truth is we've had very mixed results and showings virtually all season. A decent win, a spawny draw or two, a bad loss. Rinse and repeat. You just don't know what you're going to get from this team, whoever is playing. Even when we had a fullish squad to choose from, we were hardly tearing up trees. It's worrying and wearying in equal measure. | |

Both Cifuentes and Stephan were working with one hand tied behind their back. At one point last year Cifuentes had no fit centre backs, at another he had no fit strikers. This sht should have been addressed then, instead there’s all this sniping about how Cifuentes was really a bit sht after all and the ridiculous patronising bullsht at the fans forum about how good our availability was and “are you ready for some science?” And “sorry your favourite player wasn’t available the day you came”.
That was fcking disrespectful at the time but it looks bloody horrendous now. As he says himself “let’s see how we do this season”. Well, here it is. |  | | |

Plenty of mistakes made last night, but this team is running on fumes, with a massively depleted squad that’s absolutely riddled with injuries that only seems to get worse every week.We ended the game with half the development squad on the pitch, barely out their footballing nappies. Southampton are chock full of quality and squad depth and should be right up there and probably will be come season end.
We have to accept that another season of promise has been ruined, again, by an unacceptable incapacitation of the playing squad and not by a lack of effort from the few fit enough to turn up week in week out.
It’s probably fair to say that Walsh hasn’t played anywhere near enough senior football matches in the last five years and should be further along in his development and that’s probably true for a few of our development squad. But they have been thrown in at the deep end are doing the best they can under the circumstances. There is potential in all of them, but the going will be hard at this level with their inexperience.
The probable loss of Madsen only compounds our problems and the season is now likely over for us, so the focus absolutely needs to be on BW and so called conditioning team. This season has been nothing short of catastrophic. It needs to be significantly better next season. |
Catastrophic? We’re 13th. It’s business as usual.
What word would you use to describe our season if the owners had pulled the plug, we’d gone into administration, had points deducted and been relegated in February having won just one game? |  |

Our own Chairman began his summary of the 24/25 accounts saying we were “hampered by injuries” last season. Cifuentes had loads of injuries to contend with as well. Your memory is either going or you’re deliberately distorting the reality of what happened last season. | | | |

I really don't know what happened yesterday. I missed the first few minutes and opening goal but then watched up to half time. Up to the second goal, I thought we looked kinda of in control. Some good football and at times looked dangerous. I really thought we might get back into it. Madsen going off was a problem but I just kept thinking we are either going to get back into it or it's going to go to $hit. I was quite surprised by the choice of Morgan coming on but in some ways I liked the fact it was a 'like for like' change. After the second goal and start of the second half I got the feeling the team thought they could get back into it and went about it to hard and just got picked off. The problem we have is the injuries. Heads need to roll for this situation and some of the players who are being picked as there in no other option are out of form. How Vale went off before Saito is beyond me. Saito is not the player he was. He had quick feet and was a tough little sod. Now he is in treacle and just gets knocked off the ball. I would actually play the Brazilian kid in front of RND. At least we might have 11 players on the pitch.
Walsh, up until this game was improving. He is by no means the finished article, but I am hoping this was a one off. He kind of reverted to the Walsh I remember before his injury. I don't know if Hayden is injured but he looks knackered. Running in quicksand. Even simple passes just been given away. I could see Varane coming in just to provide some physicality and athleticism. | | | |

Think sometimes we have to admit that teams are better than us, which Southampton are with the resources they have at their disposal. It can be argued that we should not be being walloped 5 nil, but this is the case when you come up against an in form team who can turn it on at this level, that was proved at Leicester the other week when they got that 4-3 win. QPR have to work hard for their wins because we don't have the strength of personnel that the top teams in this division have, expect if we had two or three of our better players available then the result would have been closer. |  | | |

Think sometimes we have to admit that teams are better than us, which Southampton are with the resources they have at their disposal. It can be argued that we should not be being walloped 5 nil, but this is the case when you come up against an in form team who can turn it on at this level, that was proved at Leicester the other week when they got that 4-3 win. QPR have to work hard for their wins because we don't have the strength of personnel that the top teams in this division have, expect if we had two or three of our better players available then the result would have been closer. |
Southampton could bring Cameron Archer and Ross Stewart off the bench.
They'd be starting for us every week (till they got a hamstring injury). | |
