Game 1: Watford 4 QPR 0 (05.08.23)

I'm so fucking down tonight. I'd be pissed off losing 4-0 in any case but to lose the way we did, zero fight, is criminal and makes it worse. Already resigned to relegation before the season started and this first game hasn't done anything to change my mind.

I'll earn you a fortune this season 

Sparks. Would it be worth 2 million a moth to them? Just do not get it at all. Their investment is worthless as things stand

I don’t see it being virtually worthless 73

Last season they spent 2m per month but that’s nearly double of average season as training ground was 10m..new training ground makes a sale to investor more appealing.

How much do you think club is worth in sale?

Training ground cost £20m is my understanding Sparks. Also what many forget is 1/3 of it is owned by QPR fans and outside investors and it would never have been built had it not been for that backing. 

Brought myself to watch the highlights just now and, despite not really looking for any, found a couple of things to be somewhat positive about. Believe me, I'm still pissed off with the result and overall lack of giving a shit but here they are anyway.
Begovic. Conceded 4, sure, and could have done better with the third goal especially. But with that defence (or lack of) in front of him, didn't really have a chance. Nevertheless, made a string of very good saves and I feel more confident with him in goal than I did Dieng. Mad to say that after a 4-0 loss but still.
Sinclair Armstrong. The only player I'd say showed a bit of stomach and fight about him. Has his limits sure, but as a sub can make an impact coming on. Might've pulled a consolation back if the other fuckers had bothered chasing the game with him.
Stephen Duke-McKenna. Did well when he came on, looked handy.

I'll probably get shot down for finding anything to be remotely positive about and fair play if I do. Just my take.

As an aside, I'd cash in on Chair now. He was absolute dogshit, not because he IS shit, but because he clearly doesn't give a shit. Walked about most of what I saw. And that's not just based on this game, he's been the same since last year's world cup. Use the money to get a couple more in that might make a bit of a effort. We'll get more for him now than if we sold in January or when we go down (if his contract isn't already up).
Subs from Gaz came far too fucking late. Elijah and Willock on in the 97th minute? You're having a fucking laugh.

I hope the game didn't tell all the truth where we stand atm. Obviously we are fragile and conceding after 40 seconds didn't do us any favour. Let's see what happens when we keep clean sheet for a little longer.

Fair play to you Ginge. Totally agree on Chair time to move on and swiftly. These players are rotten as this is not some kind of one off as 4 managers have had these bollockless performances. Ainsworth is not good enough for this league and that is clear to see but to fair to him and the 3 managers before he is not spoilt for characters on the pitch. Willock needs moving on and quickly and any funds raised should be used to bring a ugly players who will instill some guts on the pitch.

Ok Stan, that may well be the overall cost of the training ground but what I’m trying to get across is the reported 2m per month is a red herring to a certain degree.

Latest accounts clearly show training ground as 10m in the cost/loss section so I would assume another 10m will be added to the next set of figures now it’s built.

£3,200,000 I'd imagine as £6,800,000 is from the fans and investors' bond scheme.

Ainsworth line up was bizarre to say the least.
I imagine he picked it on who he thought would put in the most effort.
Smyth and kelman did nothing and looked weak.
Every fan I talk to doesn't know how kakay gets in the team. He loses his marker every time time , in fact he can't mark . He gets drawn into following the ball and has no positional sense/awareness.
I'd like ainsworth to explain those late subs , but he won't.
Also time for chair and willock to go but have we had any bids .
Willock should be ashamed of himself, he was given a talent and has downed tools , believe me when u play football it don't go on forever. I wouldn't sign him if I was given a video of his performances from the 2nd half of last season.

Yes, now I see what your point is 👍

Look at chair for the second and third goal.

Second they pass round him, zero effort from him to get in and he’s walking while they attack. Third short corner he strolls out with Paal instead of sprinting and dictating to Watford what they can do with ball.

As for Ainsworth saying will have a plan for every team and are good at set pieces whose idea was it to put the smallest man on the pitch Smyth on one of the biggest who scored with his head for third goal.

Absolute amateur park standard football decisions.

Chair still runs with his head down. No wonder he`s still at QPR. Not saying we haven`t been lucky to have him, but anyway.
