Grimsby not lost this season and with Bristol Rovers up next at home they should continue their unbeaten start.

Don't we know it with just one win there in our history. Seem to recall it might have been only 1-0 in the last minute but really can't remember.

Teams called Rangers losing 5-0 by half time
at 21:13 27 Aug 2025

They have two mitigating factors and that is they went down to 10 at 1-0. Allegedly we kept 11 on the pitch. The second factor is Bruges are better than Coventry.

Sorry to hear about your issues Northern. I mentioned how this club has damaged my health in one of the Saturday threads. I have gone from watching the game, to keeping tabs on the scores, to now being reduced to just checking the final result so I don't get worked up so much.

It all feels like nothing at the club ever changes and we are perpetually stuck in a rut and every couple of years we get a good hammering. The sheer frustration of following this endless drivel where we make the same mistakes over and over again. When you point out how bad we are people wade in as though everything will be fine. Apart from three promotion seasons, the best part of the last 28 years has been endless crap and little sign of it improving in the forseeable future.

You are younger than me so hopefully you will return to it but at my age I have to distance myself from all this nonsense that our club has been for the best part of three decades.

Is anyone really suprised
at 15:39 24 Aug 2025

I stopped going when my health watching us a few years back went because of the stress of just how bad we had become. It remained just as bad when not attending as the strain of latest scores had me in such a state that people thought I was about to have a heart attack. Medical advice for me now is to not monitor how the game is going but to just get the final result. This has worked well as yesterday's result just brought a shrug of the shoulders. Had I been keeping tabs on how the game was going I probably would have died by half time such would have been the rage. My sympathies to Andy Sinton but watching us in comms would bring on a heart condition to anyone watching this endless crap.

I know this is selfish but if the useless owners left I would be happy to take our chances on whether anyone else bothered to take over. If nobody did and we folded it would be good for my health. I know people worry we could die if Ruben goes but if non league clubs like Wrexham could attract investors then why not us? I honestly cannot see anything changing until the whole damn lot of them running the club clear off.

I have droned on for well over a decade that this club has been torpedoed and is slowly sinking and the stench of decay is all around it. Every season we create new unwanted records in our history as we lurch from record number of home defeats, to record number of home goals conceded, to record number of home games without a win, to record number of games without scoring in the first half at home, to record number of first hurdle defeats in the cup etc etc etc. No good new records ever seem to be achieved.

Each season seems to bring about a good hiding, 6-0 to Fulham, 6-1 to Chelsea, 6-0 to Man City, 6-0 to Newcastle, 6-2 to Leicester, 6-1 to Blackpool, 5-1 to Middlesbrough, 5-0 to Burnley, 7-1 to West Brom, 7-1 to Coventry and no doubt others I have tried to forget. When do we put 5 to 7 goals past anyone? I can understand Chelsea and Man City whacking us as elite clubs in the modern game but the others? It seems now that we can only avoid these terrible results by dropping down to leagues 1 and 2 as while we continue festering around the bottom of the Championship more of these results will come.

With West Brom putting 6 past us in the second half and Coventry getting five in the first half there are challenges for us. Let's see if we can break more unwanted records by shipping 6 in a first half or 7 in the second half. That is far more likely to happen with our clueless owners than any upturn in the clubs fortunes. There has been little sign over recent years for anyone following this club to be optimistic about the future.

I see our manager turned to the tried and tested message that we will be better at home to Charlton. Has he noted we are not very good in London derbies or that we haven't won any of our last seven home games? I wouldn't go round promising anything with our football club which has caused me to lose the will to live. Many years ago Fulham were considered a music hall joke but now it is QPR and that is sad seeing how we have sunk from the 60's to 90's teams we once had.

What went so wrong today?
at 21:00 23 Aug 2025

I did say we needed to park the bus like Hull did but we were wide open and totally disorganised against a buoyant team that scored 5 away the previous game. This was Coventry's biggest win since 1963 so once again Charity Park Rangers do the business.

Plymouth made their worst start to a season for 30 years but we did our bit to help them out throwing away the cup tie. The mental weakness of this club never seems to end as each year brings out new lows as we find more ways to embarrass our fans.

Maybe Coventry didn't have to work hard for their goals but the crucial point is they took their chances and scored 5 away. In contrast we spurn our chances and rarely score more than two or three on our travels. Derby attacked Coventry and left lots of space so if we do the same and lose the midfield then Coventry will walk it.

Our manager will probably need to park the bus like Hull did on the opening day and escape with a 0-0. I think that is our only hope of getting anything

Anyone see the penalty Leeds got?
at 21:18 19 Aug 2025

The disallowed goal for Eze and Leeds penalty gave Sky something to talk about. Their Super Sunday games were boring with just the one goal scored by Arsenal on the goalline. Monday night football was also naff with just a late penalty bringing up just two goals in three games for Sky.

Six Goals Conceded In Three Games.
at 23:54 16 Aug 2025

I suppose we can all be concerned over anything. I could suggest compared to last season where we beat Preston at home, won at Plymouth away and drew away to Watford, whereas this season our results have been worse against all three. On paper these are some of our easier fixtures and not the toughest tests we are likely to face but the results are worse than last season. Of course teams have changed but we can find fault wherever you wish to look.

It is a test tor our patience looking at other clubs and thinking why we don't react as well. We play kids at Plymouth and lose and bring experience back at Watford and still lose. Middlesbrough suffer a 4-0 disaster at home to Doncaster but then bring their men back at Millwall and win 3-0. Why can't we recover like that? I guess as individuals we have different ways of looking at what happens at our club.

We are still paying peanuts when you compare it to Birmingham and Wrexham. Didn't Wrexham spend £10million this week on a new signing?

Preston make their point as QPR run out of puff – Report
at 23:19 10 Aug 2025

Change the manager and change the players but old failings still remain. Don't have enough efforts on goal, lose concentration either side of half time and concede, cannot play well in both halves, new signings being injury prone and unable to beat average teams at home. Now seven home games on the spin without a win. It feels like a recurring theme for the last few years where the same issues remain to hold us near the relegation zone.

Preston Reflection
at 20:14 9 Aug 2025

While the first half was encouraging it was them who scored for us. The second half downturn in performance was troubling and reflected the fact it was our seventh consecutive home league game without a win following on from the end of last season. The sooner we pick up three points at home the better as last season took an age...

England threw that away having been 300 for 3 to be all out on 367. We did similar in the first innings where 129 for 2 became 247 all out. We then dropped straightforward catches in India's second innings that would have significantly reduced the amount of runs to chase. Once Root and Brook fell yesterday the game swung India's way.

Falk saves four penalties and still on the losing side. Strange decision to have Falk take the deciding kick. Mind you the outfield players after her weren't much better. We got lucky but maybe our name on the trophy again!

I assume they qualified by winning the Conference league but who knows? Another trophy for them while we wallow in a pre season mauling to a second tier Spanish side. That chasm gets bigger for every year that passes by. I sometimes think what is the point of us continuing to be a football club.

I was under the impression that the Spanish league 2 was weaker than the Championship so I wasn't expecting a six goal drubbing in a friendly.

On top of a guaranteed cup exit to Plymouth we have the guaranteed defeat at Pompey on Boxing Day. We don't turn up for away games on that date.
