Nothing to add to the earlier report apart from taking off an attacker against 10 men leaving them to reduce at the back as well. This could prove to be a crucial 2 points

There should be a way of registering minus numbers for the likes of Howard and McLeod

I fully understand the disappointment of the points dropped and 2nd half performance, but in terms of football logic this was a good point gained and an OK overall display.

It's very very easy to point what tactics NA had to introduce halfway through the 2nd half, but he had a clear game plan and everybody stuck to it. All we can do is accept their equalizer as it was - just stunning, out of nowhere (as we accept our 2nd and 3rd).

The penalty: it was definitely not foul play by Fonte - at least to the extent the press reports say. It was definitely unintentional as Fonte didn't move his arm towards the ball and Jones's head was right there, probably making contact with Fonte's hand.

We still got to learn in the Prem and we all should give ourselves a little more patience and mature as fans: yes NA could have tinkered with players/tactics but I think it would have had an even worse effect - Stoke were really determined and wild in the air, absolutely motivated, their fans were (like ours) amazing and it was their wondergoal that did them justice. However we are not far away from showing a mature, professional display from start to finish. What I like in our side is that in most of the games we show real spirit, no one can deny that and that's really important. Results will come, believe it or not.

what a great display and credit to JC that he went with 3 strikers When we played the ball on the floor they had no answer to our forward play and we scored 4 cracking goals. JK totally shut out Jonah and Cavanagh had the best game I have seen from him so far.The defence is still a worry tho and the first pen should never have happened as Lillis already had the ball in his hands!!
If rumours are true and JK is on his way out then we will lose the best midfielder in this div.
The second good news of the day was Hill's sacking as he was always too big for his boots....

The Fonte handball was a penalty. You can't jump with your hand above your head. He was very lucky to get away with it.

Looking at the fixtures, in the coming weeks we've got away trips to Aston Villa, Wigan and Newcastle. We can't afford to lose any of these games and we probably need to win two of them.
The games against Arsenal, Everton, Man Utd and Man City can be seen as a bonus if we get a win in one of them. 4 points would be a great return.
By the end of February, we could be cut adrift in the bottom 3, or be heading towards safety. Some big games coming up!

This was a "team" that wouldn't even be able to compete at mid Championship level

This just isn't a team

Harry has been asked to do an impossible job with a club that has been destroyed by the actions of its previous manager

I know we should 'never say die' and the manager should try to get the non / under performers to perform. But most of them refuse to and so he will not be able to.

Mark Hughes' 10 months in charge have set the club back 3 years, as that's how long I think it will take to build the team back up and gain promotion again

But I expect Tony F to have a last throw of the dice in the window. I only hope that for every one that comes in, at least one goes out. Otherwise we will go bankrupt! Why? Well Tony F may be a rich man but he's not that rich and his wealth has limits!

In 50 years of supporting QPR I have seen inept players, overpaid players, under performing players and players who couldn't give a monkeys. But never have I seen so many of these at the same time, in the same squad.

The table never lies and we are by far the worst team. January and July must be times for massive clear outs and the start of a gradual rebuilding exercise

Oh dear! I go to each game hoping to see the spark of revival and go home with my heart in my boots.
Our performance was so so poor, Rednapp is clearly having difficulty with this disfunctionable bunch of players. God knows what the dressing room is like but on-field they just dont want to know about each other. SWP & Cisse were terrible! As usual only Mackie,Hill,Nelsen & Mbia (+Derry when he came on) were remotely interested in playing with some pride if not skill.
It has to be admitted that Suarez (who I loathe) was on fire. He is the best player I have seen all season.His desire is something to behold. Even in the 2nd half when the rest of Liverpool were just strolling around he was hassling and buzzing about as if they needed more goals to win.A top top class player,pity he is an arsehole. On the latter subject we have quite a few of those among our supporters. Do "fans" really think it will improve matters to slag of their own team with "ironic" chants? It really pisses me of when frustration is expressed in a way which is bound to add to the teams lack of effort/morale.
Harry is still talking us up, admirable but I fear he must feel like the rest of us...totally gutted.

Highland Bill, agree with most points but could you tell me how the so called "fans" should react?
