With 18 points from the last 13 games, the match with Doncaster is rapidly assuming the status of a must win game. Average that points return over a full 46 game season and it would leave QPR with just 64 points and a mid table position - no title, no automatic promotion place, not even a play off place.
More worrying still, 'Arry's boys have collected just one point from the last three games, and haven't mustered a single goal in any of them. And this isn't just a blip, as a dreadful return of just 10 goals from the last 12 games shows - with three of those netted in a single game against Bournemouth. You are not going to win anything with a goal return of less than a goal a game.
Redknapp will moan on about injuries but what did he expect from Zamora and Johnson, whilst Hull pulled out of a deal for Austin because he failed a medical. The problem is, his squad is top heavy with midfielders as 'Wheeler Dealer 'Arry has collected players like a fourteen year old boy collects football stickers in a World Cup year. Never mind who it is, it's another sticker for the album! Yossi is the latest example. Sure he is a good player by Championship standards, but he can't lead the line can he?
Look at Redknapp's record at QPR without McClaren at his side, and it is dire, with just 8 wins in 2013 from 35 games in all competitions. That is a win percentage of just 23%! Given the money spent, that is pathetic and Fernandes would be perfectly justified if he were to ask what exactly he is getting in return for his investment.
Of course, a home game against little Donny is the perfect opportunity for QPR to get their promotion push back on track, but they managed to lose at Doncaster so even this game comes with no guarantees. And if this match does not yield three points, the pressure is sure to mount, with a tricky fixture away to Ipswich up next in the league. Meanwhile, McClaren's Derby got back to winning ways at Barnsley and Leicester are four points clear at the top. Counting his games at QPR, McClaren has an amazing win percentage of 79% this season which reads amusingly alongside Redknapp's 23% unassisted in 2013, because the two almost add up to a round 100%!
But QPR fans should not despair - Neil Warnock is kicking his heels in Cornwall!
I still don't see how they are going to avoid a massive FFP fine if they go up. Anyone know why not?

ReplyDeleteJust one slight criticism of the article - Colin wouldn't come back having been given the spanish elbow by TF - but Ian Holloway coming back does sound pleasing - you can here it now - he was a Leg End !!!
What a pointless article. You absolute numpty.
ReplyDeleteComparing a win ratio over the calendar year is one of the most ridiculous things that people who think they know about football do. Especially more obvious when the team being talked about were in a different league during this period. Get a grip, you ignorant little pleb.
ReplyDeleteI think wev got bigger things to worry about at West Ham .......stop bleating on about QPR . Going down and a massive empty stadium are probably a bigger worries for me ......... Dickhead
