Ainsworth 17:45 - Apr 7 with 23298 views | PlanetHonneywood | Watching him walking around the pitch at the end, he looked haunted. I'm not saying he looked like a bloke saying adieu, but he sure as shit would bite your hand off to turn the clock back to say to QPR: thanks, but I'm staying at WWFC. Utterly, utterly appalling performance today. Oh, and I'm not sure who's responsible for overseeing deadball delivery practice sessions, but whoever it is, they clearly have no idea where the fcuking goal is!! | |

Ainsworth on 20:44 - Apr 7 by ted_hendrix | I'll take GA's hoof ball long ball or whatever ball anybody want's to call It for the remaining six games if It got us a couple of wins and kept us In this league. It'll be crap to watch so what? survival In this league this season is paramount, for me relegation is/would be a disaster for QPR. Yes I can take a few hoof games and a few dodgy results to get us over the line and safe. Having said all that I believe we are relegated now anyway, I'm just clutching the last few remaining straws. |
Keep clutching (as we all are) but whether we’re relegated or not, we’re stuck with this hoof ball (in fact that is being unfair on hoof ball) for the next three and a half years. Regardless of what league we’re in, it’s unwatchable. | | | |

Ainsworth on 18:24 - Apr 7 by kropotkin41 | There must be a major disconnect between training and play. It's hard to explain otherwise. I reckon there should be an investigation into betting irregularities. |
I was thinking that too. I mean how can you be playing to go top in October and then nearly lose every game since. | | | |

Ainsworth on 17:52 - Apr 7 by ted_hendrix | I said after the Brum game that I thought we were getting worse, just at a time when the last thing we needed at that time was to get worse. I can only remember one shot on target today and that second goal?? dear me that was Sunday morning in the park defending. We're getting worse by the minute.................... Just when you thought It couldn't get any worse |
As a QPR supporter you should know that the words “at least it can’t get any worse” are forbidden | |

Ainsworth on 12:42 - Apr 9 with 2868 views | plasmahoop | The squad is so lame and sick, I don't think anyone could turn it around. I do though think Gareth ainsworth deserves a bit more respect for what he did at Wycombe though. People are saying that no other team would give him a job, but why not? He's got a good record over a long period of time. Beale had never actually done anything before and critchley was at blackpool for five minutes before sodding off. Yes appointing ainsworth probably is muddled thinking as the squad needs a rebuild, but that isn't his fault. And as it would appear that we are doomed to relegation he looks like the ideal.andidate to rebuild on a low budget in league 1 | | | |

"he looks like the ideal.andidate to rebuild on a low budget in league 1" The trouble with that is if he goes down the same player recruitment route he did at WW, it'll be late 20s/early 30s journeymen with no sell on rather than young, undiscovered rough diamonds. | |

I just want a team that competes and wins more than it loses. GA has a monumental job on his hands, and we need to let him get on with it his way.I get what you say about the sell-on business, but these "rough diamonds" are the main reason we are heading for L1. Stabilize on the pitch first...then worry about producing the next generation. | | | |

Rearrange the following sentence for the answer, Hypocrite a lying is Beale (hmm, actually works without rearranging if your name is Yoda). Gaz is working with the after effects of Boil's betrayal (sloppy leftovers) and Crotch's tactic of blame the players every other sentence (even sloppier leftovers and 18th century man-management in a nutshell - he'd have probably flogged them in the street too if it was still allowed). I think it's fair to say we may have been overachieving back in October but everything that has played out between then and Gaz coming in has left him with a shattered squad that probably feel they can't trust anyone outside themselves right now. Ainsworth played no part in that but he is the one that has to fix it and he'll need the Summer to get that process rolling. It really is the perfect recipe for relegation but y'know what, we've been there once and got back from it and we'll do it again if we have to. The bright side, if there is one, is that relegation would also make it easier to overhaul the squad as any "agitators" will likely be among the first to jump ship. Whatever division we start next season in, let's Judge him after 15 games with his team, rather than now, when all he has to work with is the wreckage of the two previous clowns. | | | |

Is Gareth able to change his tactics for the players he has or is he stuck in the style he adopted at Wycombe? It can’t just be more effort and intensity although that is needed …the tactics have to be right as well and not seen much evidence the tactics are working. Will he change tactics …can he change in the remaining games? | | | |

Not strictly true. He has just sold Mehmeti for a substantial amount. True at WW he built his team around mid twenties to early thirties. No bad thing and was actually very successful on what was a tiny budget in comparison. Also he had some very good links with PL clubs in getting younger guys in on loan. A product which worked well at WW. Yes he will need to change a bit but not so much as I don’t see QPR in such an amazing financial situation at present so I’m sure we will be heavily reliant yet again on loan signings as the academy is obviously not producing the numbers it should be. None of which can be aimed at GA. All this shit about Hoof Ball etc etc amuses me as do we really think QPR are the Barca of the championship. People bemoaning the tactics against Watford. It’s what the smaller clubs have to do and unfortunately that’s the category we find ourselves in right now. Again not the fault of GA. | | | |

If you have followed his managerial career, like Holloway, he doesn’t believe in a progressive passing style of football. There are multiple public statements that back this up from his time at Wycombe. And at QPR, the evidence is, of course, on the pitch, The challenge here is that it is not a matter of can he change the tactics? Not only does he have zero experience in doing so, he doesn’t believe in anything other than his style of play. Holloway was the same. They are staunch direct football proponents, with the philosophy of a an underdog mentality (in other words, second best, from the outset). They choose to compete instead through hard work, rather than through talent, technique or skill. When in reality, you need a mix of both. But with Ainsworth, and Holloway, it is overly weighted to the former I.e. workrate. The problem being that this only suits a certain type of player, level, and club. | | | |

Four managers (all respected and successful elsewhere) in a row have overseen this club on a downward spiral over the space of two years. It's not the manager. I give no blame to Ainsworth. | | | |

So does manager have no accountability? I'm not saying it's all Ainsworths fault, it clearly isn't, but how we have played, the teams and tactics the in game changes are surely down to him otherwise why is he here. I'm sure if we had won a few more games he'd be getting praised rather than us saying good results are nothing to do with him | | | |

No, in this case I don’t really think the manager has any accountability other than in regards to instances of gross Paul Hart style incompetence, of which I have seen none from either Critchley or Ainsworth. Sam Field as a RW comes close I suppose. I‘ve not seen anything disastrous in his tactics. If you are working with players either so shellshocked or so belligerent that they can’t pass a ball over five yards then tactics don’t really matter do they? The ONLY thing this club hasn’t tried is stability for stability sake. 12 managers or whatever it is can’t all be wrong. Ainsworth is proven both in League One and the Championship. It’s the club not him In my opinion and we should stick with no matter what. | | | |
