I do think if people's ages/experience at LR were attached to their personal logo on this board some of the dynamics could be better calibrated, rather than the modern thing of assuming everyone's opinion is of equal value.
Seconded. We've fashioned some good approach play, but, despite the partly fortuitous lead, suffered a lack of cutting edge. However, that was a much better half than I'd anticipated - industrious, cohesive, and enterprising. Preston are pants though.

Judging by his ludicrously broad-brush assessment of the opposition when asked on the Offish vid with AS, he hasn't a clue who Preston are. As he said himself, 'I preefur to consontrate on uz'.
For a man who supposedly doesn't communicate with fans/QPR journos he seems to spend quite a lot of his time talking (reflectively and eloquently) to them.
And yet people are calling, ridiculously, for him to be recontracted. I know by default he was our top scorer last season, but that mainly shows how low the bar is.
The season hasn't even started, and I'm already feeling hacked off with QPR.
I've never been fully convinced by Field, though he's consistent at what he does, and currently feel even less so by Varane, who has a lot of developing to do, even if he has some makings. I suppose they're both 'where we are' (and why we are where we are).
I remember Stan remarking on that, and how the Rangers crowd could be nasty. Don G. scored 76 goals in less than 250 games for us - what we'd give for a proper player like that now! We were spoilt then, and, if that's how sections of our crowd treated Givens, it's gloomily clear how low our expectations have sunk (or been downwardly managed by various 'stakeholders') that we're not now booing off the likes of Celar and Frey.
Proper football, proper ground, proper standing. Sadly, those days are probably gone for ever.
Someone else already made the good/sad point that we also seem to go into a new season half-cooked and then have to try to pull things round with signings as late as February. It's just not good enough. We're at least 3-4 players away from what we need, and at least half of them are strikers. I have us down as early-season strugglers right now.
