5 at the back is front foot attacking football for Fotheringham Trouble is, he's that thick, he thinks it's a back 4 God help us with this bloke in charge. A day at the pub and the game used to be decent, win or loss. Now its just a soul less, drab, draining interruption to being in the pub. Wales v Ireland Six Nations with a few pints is far more appealing this Saturday, followed by the Calcutta Cup. |

Short term pain for long term gain. Do you feel we have a better chance of staying up by keeping MF until end of the season, or losing the next game but having him gone? There is 0 guarantee that weāll get anyone in to do a better job - and with LB/DH in charge even more so. Points on the board all day long. DH & LB should be lining up their ducks right now. It pains me to say it but I would take a defeat on Saturday if it finally meant MF was out the door. I donāt think the fans have ever taken to him - and are unlikely to - and weāre led to believe the players arenāt exactly enamoured either. I take your point there is no guarantee who comes through the door next will keep us up but almost anyone would be preferable to the current head coach. I can actually see us getting at least a point on Saturday (and a point would not be sufficient) but donāt see us getting anything after that at Blackpool, weād be delaying the inevitable and losing even more time. |

QPR struggling for money and have sold a couple of their regular squad today and not brought anyone in. Dykes is out injured or ill (surprised they didn't go for a loan to replace him?) Their fans seem to have given up on any hope of getting into either the top six or bottom three.
Will Fothers set us up for a hopeful draw again? A points a point ye ken.

Vaclik
Ruffels
Boyle
Lees
Helik
Pearson
REG
Turton
Lowton
Hogg
High
If we're going to show fuck all attacking intent then we might as well pick a line-up that reflects what we're trying to do.
Hopefully we can sneak a point at home to the second most out of form side in the division.

We need to win, simple as that.
Lose and I cannot see any way MF can survive.

In the next five games we need 10+ points to move away from those below and catch those above . Winning this eases some real pressure going into Blackpool and Wigan.
Good footballing team are qpr with some nifty players - Chair and Willock will take turns dancing past Ruffels at the current rate .
Team for me would be the below with wing backs having real license to overlap with inverted wingers . Kasumu gives us the energy and ball carrying ability Highs never had .
Vaclik
Lowton Lees Helik Pearson Jackson
Hogg Kasumu
Hungbo/Knockaert Waghorn Rudoni

as depressing as it is, a boring draw will close the gap. So I guess we'll go for that unless Ruffels decides to turn into Lewandowski again |

I'd rather this fella turned it round completely and proved us all wrong. For me, we should only sack him if an experienced head is brought in as a replacement. Sacking him to appoint the assistant manager, who is part of this mess in my opinion, and has even less managerial experience than Fotheringham, would be stupid. |

My team for Saturday (which will look nothing like the team we actually play):
Vaclik
Lowton
Jackson
Helik
Pearson
Hogg
Kasumu
Camara
Waghorn
Holmes
Rhodes
Subs: Bilokapic, Turton, Ruffels, High, Hungbo, Rudoni, Kamberi.
Some might think that midfield is defensive. In reality, we need to get on the ball, push the full-backs forward for width, and work from there. Rudoni is unlucky to miss out, but I like having a pest up front and Waghorn is that.
What will happen is a back five, with wing-backs pegged back, a defensive midfield two, and an isolated forward line. All with no composure in possession.

Holmes needs to be dropped along with Ruffels.
Holmes just let Hamer run past him for Coventryās first goal.
Jackson & Camara - why have they not been involved ?
We need to see a performance. I get the feeling that if qpr score first it will be difficult. The fans are ready to turn and MF should prepare himself for some stick.
Rudhoni must score soon and his recent performances have been encouraging. He just needs to find an end product.
Who to play up front ? For me Rhodes and kamberi and waghorn are nowhere near the finisher that Jordan can be.
High cannot start.
Hogg needs to put chair in the Kilner bank.

For me, this is undoubtedly the biggest game of the season so far. Desperately need a good response to last Saturday, so how confident are we? As our hero Nick would have said.... "Its a must win game". We miss his wise worms, don't we? |

If he sets us up similarly to the Coventry game, we all know what the outcome will be and heāll only have himself to blame. |

I think they might even give him until Blackpool even if he loses - but if itās anything bar a narrow loss it could get a tad ugly at The John Smithās stadium on Saturday... If he loses that one and Blackpool then even the normal ultra positive Westie would probably say thanks guys, but please just go (Foddy, Miller and Brondby) - Hopefully tho after Blackpool weāre all celebrating 6 points and the tide has stopped ebbing away our energy and the flood tidal race of recovery is on ! |

What are the chances that they will have reviewed their selection criteria and will look for something different this time around rather than just who will cost us less. |

I hope you're right about the 6 points Westie. If MF and his merry men can start getting results then happy days, but patience is now a thin as it possibly can be, in my view. I don't however think there will be too much in the way of being ugly should we not get a result on Saturday. I expect a poor attendance and an atmosphere to match. The quicker we have a fulsome change at the club the better. I fear interest in our fortunes has hit a level of apathy that the club should be concerned about. Of course as we are up for sale that is the focus for those in charge and a few fans venting their opinion is of little consequence (to them). |

Not that the lad's done much wrong. Is he quicker ? He's 6" shorter so his legs have to go more to cover the same ground. Rudoni is, apparently, now the in the lead in assists and is our only decent dead ball taker. |
