QPR'S wage bill has NOTHING to do with our inability to put a decent corner in, support the attack, make effective substitutions that add to the threat posed not maintain the staus quo I would send him and his assistant packing and while they are it take tommy smith and lynch with them Absolute garbage in the sense of the danger we cause the opposition. About as dangerous as a flat aaa battery. This is our FOURTH SEASON in this league but once again we start the season WEAK up front and at the back . The club would rather spend their money on players to make money on that are not even ready for the first team than address the current problems and preside over a manager gripped in fear of having two wingers and two strikers on the pitch at any one time. UTTER DROSS You believe that fella ... Maybe you can manage us on our budget to promotion this season and then next year win the Premiership. If mean finances mean nothing then it should be possible. In fact I'm scratching my head why Accrington Stanley aren't in the Champions League as well! |

QPR were shit today. We should have battered them and would have if we had any decent strikers. So shit they scored seven in their last two league games We played well and nullified them but let's just say QPR were shit because it's easier than being positive about Town! I have been very positive but they were still shit today. |

Cheers for the idea, Rubber Soul playing now and Revolver lined up  Probably my favourite 2 Beatles albums. Memories of my first car - 850 Mini - and those 2 taped onto either side of a C90. |

QPR were shit today. We should have battered them and would have if we had any decent strikers. How many chances did Wells and Miller miss exactly? I remember Wells having a fresh air shot in the first half and little else. Granted he was poor today, but I don't remember him missing too many chances. Hi touch and passing were poor, but he wasn't exactly getting great service either. Miller played pretty well I thought, and was far more effective when we stopped lumping the ball up to him. He is so much better when the ball is on the floor - as he showed in the second half. I remember a shot wide in the second half and a few blocked shots, but again I don't remember him missing any glaring sitters. The fact that we didn't create much was as much to do with lack of support for the strikers/wide men and the playing of too holding midfielders as it was any deficiencies in the performances of the strikers. I am not saying the strikers were not partially responsible - Wells in particular was very poor today - but it goes deeper than that. Lack of support play, lack of quality in the final third and a lack of numbers in the box were also important factors. QPR were average, but we didn't have the guile to break them down. That's something the whole team - not just the strikers - need to work on. |

Got to be the (blue and ) white album I know where you're coming from - White Album was one of the very first CDs I bought back in 88/89 - but it's Rubber Soul for me, singing along to that in the car, singing the harmonies, probably the very definition of happiness. There's always the age old 'argument' that they could have condensed the contents of the White Album into one superb album. I'm a big fan of Abbey Rd too, She Came In Through The Bathroom Window, the medley on the B-side, good stuff. |

Damn, you must a bit older than I thought, what's an '850' mini?lol, I hated the beatles when I were a kid growing up as a punk rock/ metalhead kid, but they're one of my all time favourite groups now, the way they evolved musically I don't think has ever been surpassed. This is geting off topic? |

Powell is a super bloke, honest and I'm sure hard working but I'm far from sure he's a good manager. His tactics are too negative and too confused. There is an imbalance in midfield, we are also woefully inept in attack. We don't have bad players as such but we're not getting the best from them. Overall he needs to do better at every level and soon. I have no problem with a cautious manager, but Powell's negativity is so apparent that I think it effects the players significantly. It's a bit like watching the way England play (as odd as it sounds). Other than Scannell, they all look absolutely terrified of making a mistake so can't express themselves, virtually no movement, barely any confidence, very few ideas and I wish I could imagine Powell addressing this but I can't. I listen to him on the radio after for some sort of inspiration and I always end up feeling worse!!! Unfortunately with the window 3 days away, right now would be a disastrous time to sack him, I think Deans hands are tied. |

bloody hell...born in '50...what does that make me ? As far as Powell is concerned, he's working within the restrictions the club lay down..which non of his 3 predeccessors were able to do.. I think we need a culture change at the club...whatever that is...we're dour and dowdy and more worryingly for Dean the fans are leaving in larger numbers this season than previous years... Wells is just not up to this level of football, he makes too many basic errors and seems to go off on one. When QPR scored in 84th minute how many QPR men were in the camera shot...3 , 4 ? we never have that number for a breakaway attack ..it's kind of symptomatic of where the club is...negative, defensive, unimaginative .. imo.

I'm never really one for calling for manager's heads. I like Powell - he comes across as a really likeable bloke and I want him to succeed at Town. I think he's done alot of good for the club, particularly in making us more competitive and stopping the regular heavy beatings. That said, he needs to find a way to make Town a more effective going forward. Making us competitive is great, but we now need to work on our attacking play. The next few weeks and months will be crucial and the longer we go without a win the more pressure he will come under. I just hope that if the winless run continues he doesn't become even more cautious. I think that would make things worse rather than better. Let's hope we can get that first win on the board so we can play with a little bit more freedom. Why can't he see that by being cautious we haven't won a game so open up and score one more than them |

I'd give him at least till xmas. I don't know if we're making good teams look average without bloody winning or average teams are just beating us. Lacking decisiveness going forward, created very little even with good territory.
Get the impression Powell is prepared to keep it tight and rely on fine margins,in which we've been on the wrong end this season, rather than attempting to take the initiative.

Let him bring in who he needs, then give him 5 games.
But for now I'm seeing the team starting to settle and play better. Yes we need to score but we won't see many other teams deserve to come away from that QPR team with points like we should have.

Too early. Give him until Christmas. I too am fed up of his negative style, but today we weren't bad.
his only fault today was taking nahki off to replace with the new midfielder. I'd have given the academy lad a go personally.

Never too early to get rid. 2 wins in what is it now 17/18? You may "hope" he changes his tactics, giving people a chance etc but you "know" he probably won't. My only concern would be who is available? The guy I would want is up in Scotland now unfortunately. Aye Warburton would have been the man alright. And think of all the bread puns we could have had too. Thats all you knead. |

I do wonder if he played a more open style would we get battered? Is he playing to the strengths of the squad which are few? It's something I'm personally trying to weigh up. To be fair we do seem vulnerable on the break, even when we try to keep it tight at the back. I'm not calling for his head and do understand that QPR have just fallen from the premier league with a massive wage budget compared to ours. To limit Austin to practically no chances is admirable, but we barely created anything ourselves. We seemed to have the momentum in the second half but one mistake from us and that's it. |
