Yes, excellent points. I think you are right, and I am just getting over the Monday blues :-). |

Yeah, right Nix, I have some kind of problem because I was disappointed with a missed opportunity and going out the cup. Thought it was an interesting QPR debate but bringing it down to Chelsea references and "I am a better fan than you" implications - no thanks. |

Didn't mean my post to be carping at all. Wasn't even digging out the playes, perhaps Kone excepted, just reflecting my emotions were more tepid disappointment rather than any great pleasure. I don't agree we were that brilliant though.
I don't mean standards like you do, I mean as a football club, our standards have surely dropped. Fitness standards? Of course Dunne and Cook were great yesterday, but they usually are.
Anyway, perhaps it's just Blue Monday or whatever. |

I was in the away end, this is not about whether you were there or not. The poster above was bang on for me - yes it was a fun day, being different, and yes it was pleasing that we actually tried and played well. The equaliser was a great moment.
But as a long-standing QPR fan I am still entitled to feel what I feel. I repeat, I don't demand anyone else feels it. It is just how I feel. |

Nix totally respect your view but please don't tell me I am supporting the wrong club. Although the evidence of most of the past 50 years says that is right!
Your point about the gulf between the clubs financially is undeniable. That is not the standards I refer to of course, what I mean is that bigging up a 3rd round defeat as a great day just highlights how low our standards have gone.
Of course I am capable of enjoying supporting QPR, I love going with my boy and I enjoy regardless of the result usually. But I just don't think we were that amazing yesterday, and I just feel disappointment at the missed opportunity rather than great love for the day.
It's just how I feel; totally not having a go at anyone else for enjoying it. |

I know that it shows my age, and it was a decent day and I am grateful Nourry / Stephan put out the best side we could.
But I just can't "love" going out the cup yet again, losing to West Bloody Ham and I am not that proud of the lads. They did OK in my eyes, not much more. They aren't fit enough. I will be proud when we actually win. West Ham were so bad, so short on confidence, I am certain it was a missed opportunity. We played the cagey game in the first half, which was all about getting the break at 0-0, but squander the whole plan and possession with 1 minute to go of it, when we had an attacking throw on and could just have kept the ball. So annoying.
And yes having a huge away support was fun, but yet again when we have one....we lose.
There was a moment in the second half yesterday, before he scored, when Kone did that arms thing at the away end to get more noise. Always hate that, but considering he hadn't moved his oversized backside at that point more than 5cm all game, really took the biscuit and sums up every time we have a huge away support. We're there, the players not so much. I was hugely annoyed with him at this point, but then he of course proved his worth in the end. Fair play.
Our standards have slipped so low generally, and specifically in the cup, that we enjoy a 3rd round cup defeat at a relegation-haunted (and very poor) Premier League side.
Yes, I am old and bitter and twisted. Standards. Sorry.
Edit: I meant to say, this is just how I feel, not claiming everyone should feel this way. And life is about enjoyment, so I am jealous of those who felt it was a great day. I am just grumpy as yet again no 4th round draw to look forward to! [Post edited 12 Jan 8:55]

Sam had a shocker but he's proved his quality with us before. Plus he had a shocker at left back rather than midfield, having had very little game time all season. Big ask. He is the type of player who needs a consistent run to show his best, although with Hayden playing well I can't see him getting it. |

On way back what a terrible ground in a terrible place.
I thought we did OK, a real opportunity missed though as the one time we went after them we scored. Thought that was where we missed Burrell so much. Other than that we were pretty cagey which I guess made sense but I can't help but feel many a championship side would have had it up 'em for longer then the 5 mins we managed.
Although we deserved to take the game to extra time sadly our dismal fitness levels meant we never looked likely.
Still, it took a piece of absolute brilliance to beat us so no shame in that.
And, for once, we put out a full team to try and win a cup tie. Progress. [Post edited 11 Jan 18:50]

at 07:13 10 Jan 2026
I like Varane and think he's a good player. Rarely heard him get stick at games compared to the abuse on here.
Of course he has things to improve, but that is capable of happening, right?
I can see why clubs would go after him. I can also understand why we would sell. If he goes I don't think he will be amazing, but I bet he has a very decent career. |

I disagree. Like many CBs, he won't show his best without a consistent run in the team and regular defensive partner. He showed great promise not long ago until injury - it isn't him we should be consigning to the written off pile. |

Yes, I fear this is the club already PRing the selection on Sunday. Bennie as the lone striker, Frey on the bench.
Please let it not be so. |

Talk about sliding doors - they were extremely unlucky to lose last night I thought, very fine margins. Could so easily have gone the other way and I suspect the other manager would have been chopped... |

Six year contract, it's a total dream for him. He either makes it at the top level or gets made a very rich man within six months. Nice... |

I will never, ever, ever get this point of view. I respect it, of course, but I don't understand it.
Putting aside the opinion that we could just try and win every game we play, as a QPR fan, you would seriously rather beat Stoke than West Ham?
I would rather win at West Ham and lose any number of totally meaningless league games, personally. So we rest Kone for Stoke, where he doesn't touch the ball and we lose 2-0 anyway. Or it works and we get a point at Stoke which means we may finish 11th and not 12th.
Anyway I know ever year we do this to death so I will shut up, as no doubt once Esquerdinha gets ripped a new one on Sunday it will all be on here again. |

For West Ham, I want to see something like this (presuming Burrell, Poku, Varane, Morrison not fit and RND cup tied)
Nardi / Hamer (not Walsh, we can't keep thrusting him into ridiculous games)
Mbengue
Dunne
Cook
Field (LB)
Hayden
Madsen
Dembele
Saito
Kolli
Kone
Subs to include:
Morgan, Keeper, Smyth
Should be at least giving us a 1% chance. If I see Esquerdinha, Walsh, anyone from the Development Squad I am going to do my pieces. |
