Yup, agree this problem, which is an annual one at this time of year, is not about the manager, it's about the resources, which was my Eric Cantona type comment.
For the first time Julien looks exhausted and exasperated. I know this is actually a much longer season than he's been used to but I think losing so many key players has changed his demeanour from calm to a bit depressed.
If you take most of the parts of an engine out of a car - and the steering wheel, you can push the car down a hill and for a short while it will look like a car until it inevitably hits a wall.
That's what's happened to our team with all the injuries.
I didn't realise he'd only managed 11 games this season after only 28 last term. It's very unfortunate that he's had so many injuries over the last 2 seasons and it seems to be getting worse and more regular. No doubt, a fully match fit Chair would have given us more points this season.
If you go to a ground dressed as a Bassett's Allsort you get what you deserve!
Please club and Errea 26/27 traditional blue and white hooped home kit with hooped sleeves and blue hoop on shoulders and Denise the Menace away kit, again with hooped sleeves.
Some of this is also down to the seemingly Jekyll and Hyde performances the team puts in. Is that Stephan's fault? Probably no more than his predecessors. There is no particular reason why the same starting 11 that beat Hull couldn't go and get something at Southampton. He had a very limited ability to change much and as Monkey Roots said, we weren't that bad first half, but mistakes and bad luck with Madsen cost us dearly. Mistakes and injuries are not really the managers fault in game. Did he do the right thing second half bringing a few key players off? The morning after, perhaps he did. Kone has been running on empty but is the 'senior' striker at the moment.
Being QPR manager is a tough gig, particularly as we seem to be this Jekyll and Hyde type outfit week to week. The only one who seemed to have a handle on it was Warburton, but he had far more to work with than any that followed him. Also, we dip have dips under Warburton as well. Beale only got lucky for a bit. Ainsworth couldn't turn it around, Critchley couldn't turn it around, Cifuentes was good at keeping us up but had horrendous losing streaks and that brings us to Stephan. He had a full squad 2 months ago and now he's got dev squad players on the bench and one out and out fit striker, whose running on fumes.
Overall, I agree with Monkey Roots. Bar last night and a handful of other heavy defeats, I think he's done okay given what we have here. Although he has to find a way of changing the season upon season Jekyll and Hyde game to game mentality we seem to be afflicted with - but that seems to have been a thing for ages, and doesn't seem easy to solve.
