After the Watford and Coventry defeats we were all wondering whether he was already out of his depth?
Six matches further along he's unbeaten, almost nullified the goal difference, got us in the top six and 'generally' making very good in match decisions and proving himself to be a speed learner in this division. Of course we are going to lose matches, possibly a few or so in a row but I actually believe that this guy will work out how to deal with defeats again very quickly. Quicker than his predecessors.

In fairness I do think people had legitimate concerns and still do. Some of which have been partially addressed and some are still up for longer term assessment.
My point always was that the positives were being underplayed and inferences were being made that stretched the known facts. Also putting people in camps and not giving the new manager a chance.
Things are currently going pretty well but we have a very long way to go. I'm loving where we are right now but am aware we're only a few narrow losses from meltdown. I get that too given that we're a battered and bruised fanbase who have had a torrid few seasons.
But f@ck me we deserved yesterday's joy. |
Ultimately, and it’s the flavour currently doing the rounds in the Premier league, “adapting” to a new style of play is the order of the day.
Pretty much every club across the two top divisions have attempted to change their game model to the “Pep” way as the Man City of 3 seasons ago wiped the floor with everyone. Tried, and for most part failed, because only that City team (in this country), had the players capable of doing it.
The preferred model has shifted to pace and power……and set pieces.
We have, by virtue of a shellacking, moved in a similar direction and rather fortuitously, have the the squad and personnel to make it work.
It kinda feels like all the pieces have fallen into place at QPR for the first time since Warnock. |  | | |

Or maybe this IS the game model. We hired a manager who plays a certain way, we recruited players that fit that particular system. Maybe it has taken JS some time to get it into the players, obviously we needed the window to shut too. But perhaps this is what we have been aiming for all along? Or maybe I'm giving Nourry and De Souza and whoever else too much credit |  |

Yeah I imagine a lot of the fees we paid would include add ons so it's really hard to know how much we've spent |
It will be the same for the players we've sold, fees banded around will probably include add-ons for appearances, goals etc |  |

We started the season piss balling, but with the tonking at Coventry and the introduction of Kone into the team, our approach flipped instantaneously.
Nothing to do with Nourry and rigid game models. Adaptation.
All dictated by pragmatism, player/squad profile and a manager who clearly knows what the hell he is doing and how to get results (barring Oxford that still jars).
Early days, but the ingredients are all there. | | | |

Great stuff Julien!
Also it does make a positive difference when the coach and CEO appear to get along. |  |

Who is the big, dark haired, fairly young bloke with a beard who sits next to Julien on the Bench and is in his ear a hell of a lot. Don't find him on the Official under "Staff". Julien seems to be discussing what to do with him more than anybody else during games. | | | |

This fella is nearly twice the size of Nourry so probably not! | | | |

respectfully disagree.
The game model was 1 up front .
We are now effectively playing 2 up front .
They were never signed to play together because it’s not in the methodology manual .
For anyone to entrech themselves into ‘this is all part of the master plan all along’ is incredibly blinkered.
So we’d go a full pre season and 4 or 5 games into the season before even trying to put ‘the master plan’ into action???
I mean i’ve seen people keep digging on this forum but my god…. |
Never said it was a master plan.
What they have done is sign a coach who is adaptable and players who can play various ways. The goals we have scored this season have reflected that adaptability.
Under MC, we had not variation, that could be due to the players he had, but I'm more convinced it was down in part to him. | |
