Not all of us. On a more important note how is your son 🙂 Thanks Bill. He's out of hospital now, having passed various safety assessments in hospital and at home (basic stuff like his ability to go up and down stairs, boil a kettle, take a shower) and receiving a lot of care from community therapists. Having to literally learn to walk and talk again. All his functions are intact, just need to rebuild the connections within the brain. His girlfriend has been able to work from home and look after him. A long slog ahead of him, but he's making slow but steady progress. Good news,very encouraging. |

Posters were describing our poor performance as a “blip” and were saying we just need to calm down. Is that still the view? It’s no longer a blip. It’s now an alarmingly poor run. Was about to post the same. Blip has become a crisis tbh. |

Big fan of Marti but due to the balance being all wrong in the middle of the park he looks totally clueless on how to get the best of the players he has. We are too easy to play against due to not having the legs in midfield it is almost worth looking at three in midfield with one just there to protect the back four.

It’s too early to change manager
He needs to be given till Christmas
He needs to sort out the middle then sign Hayden
Loss of Jcs and Colback Chair and Haden
Been too much
Kolli also needs to be given a start

Cifuentes says he has ‘full support’ of QPR hierarchyBy David McIntyre 21/10/2024 Marti Cifuentes says he believes he has the “full support” of the QPR board despite recent results. Rangers looked destined for relegation last season before Cifuentes steered them to safety after taking over as head coach, with wins against Leeds and Leicester the highlights of an excellent turnaround. However, a woeful start to this campaign has left Cifuentes’ side bottom of the Championship table, with just one win from their 10 matches. They will face fellow strugglers Coventry in a vital game at Loftus Road on Tuesday. With a number of summer signings having been unimpressive so far, Cifuentes has recently faced questions about whether he was happy with the club’s recruitment, which has been led by chief executive Christian Nourry. The Spaniard has diplomatically answered that the signings were collective decisions. Asked today if he believed others involved in the running of the club would show similar solidarity and support him if Rangers continue to struggle, Cifuentes said: “That’s a question you will need to ask to those others, whoever they are. “What I feel is full support and I hope that this will continue.” Asked if he had recently spoken to the club’s owners, he said: “I have daily communication with Christian – we are looking forward to Coventry and that’s where the focus is – and sometimes I have communication with the owners.” Jake Clarke-Salter could return to the side for Tuesday’s game, having been among the substitutes for Saturday’s home defeat against Portsmouth. The defender has been working his way back to fitness following a recurring calf problem. “It’s an option, definitely,” said Cifuentes. “Perhaps the reason we were hesitant about him starting the (Portsmouth) game was because we knew the calf muscle is complex and sometimes there can be some setbacks, so we wanted to give him more time. But definitely he is in contention.” www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/cifuentes-says-he-has-full-support-of-qpr-hierarchy

They did, but personally I never thought that was a good idea. If you need to switch from 4-2-3-1 - which I reckon is a good call - there are plenty of other options available which make more sense given the squad. |

A theory:
Last season Marti came in when we were in dire straits and pretty much every game was a must-win, or at least a must-not-lose. He very quickly worked out how to get the best out of the squad, playing pragmatic, but clever football.
This season, riding on the back of that success, there was little pressure, offering him the chance to try out the formations and tactics he prefers, with players brought in specifically for that purpose. Of course we can argue in hindsight that so many new additions, lacking championship experience, was a recipe for disaster, but at the start of the season, it didn't look like that. And injuries to key players really hasn't helped. However, the real question is: why is it taking him so long to adapt? Perhaps the answer is that he performs better under extreme pressure. There's still plenty of time to turn this season around, and now that we sit at the bottom of the table, Marti's back is against the wall. So put succinctly: maybe it had to get worse so that it sparks Cifuentes into making it better? Or am I clutching at straws?

Or am I clutching at straws? let’s be honest u me or my dog could of followeoon from noddy and looked amazing. Was such a low bar to better. Stats bods on here need to find out what Marti 2nd season’s been like elsewhere as a guide |

A theory: Or am I clutching at straws? Yup, think you are. Firstly, the writing was on the wall preseason. people dismissed those performances, but they were unremittingly poor. Secondly, there has been a failure to adapt tactics to the injury situation. Thirdly, it isn’t a matter of than you guys settling in, it’s a matter of whether they have what it takes to perform at this level, and that is very open to question. Fourthly, everybody knew how we were going to play this term, and Marti had no answers The only way out of this mess is hard, hard yards, combined with a bit of suss. |

Ah, yes, but that's my point: perhaps it has to get this bad before Marti puts in the hard yards combined with a bit of suss.

Good posts from Hubble and Hal, found myself nodding to both.
Hope Hubble is right, but also very much agree with Hal that all the problems have been hiding in plain sight since pre-season. Even allowing for bad luck with injuries etc, Marti has apparently - sorry to say - lacked the ideas and even personality to turn it round. So far at least. For as Hubble also points out, its in adversity that you see true character.

Like Marti but he is not getting anything out of these players and all belief from last season has gone. Not sure how you can lose week in week out and stay in the job. What has happened to the team who beat Luton

He also dropped that joke of a right back.
He knows what’s not working.

Good managers adjust and adapt to different games...Marti's downfall will be his insistence/perseverance to his 'PEP' Style of football involving bringing the ball back to our own penalty box to open up the game..Slowing down the whole fucķing team.

Unfortunately, he's definitely lost some of his magic due to the lacklustre and laboured performances we have turned out this season so far.
All this shitty playing out from the back just doesn't make sense.
The amount of times per game we almost get caught out is embarrassing. We only end up kicking it along anyway.
We don't have the players for that kind of style.
We need to start getting more physical and start roughing people up. If it means going a little bit long just to try and get results then so be it.
This style he's playing doesn't work and is so boring.

It`s borderline unrealistic and "wishful" thinking, imho. he might not want to or see himself as a league one manager but heaven forbid it did happen that’s exactly what he would be, as are the players, unless clubs higher up ladder pick them up. Like some of my makes who say they don’t shag ugly birds until Saturday evening when they are on top of an ugly bird.
