The Fans Are Getting Restless At QPR

This post about QPR prompted me to respond - I agree with some of it, strongly disagree with other bits. My response:

Mancienne looks far better at centre back. As for Rehman, all I can say is we're missing Biggy badly at right back. Rose's form was far too dependant on confidence, and was generally awful, so I'll not miss him at all.

Nygaard is a complete waste of space and I don't understand why he ever gets picked. Jones is young though, and needs to be treated carefully, so we can't necessarily expect him to play every game. Gallen has been terrible for the last couple of seasons for us - if he's doing well for Plymouth then good luck to him.

The real problem for me is the midfield. It's not fair on Baidoo to play him on the right. I'd like to see Smith tried out there - for all his occasional spectacular goals I think he's pretty anonymous as a central midfielder, when what we need is a couple of ball winners there. In the centre, lets hope that Bolder can make an impact. I also think the way that Nick Ward has been treated is a tragedy. He looked great at the beginning of the season, but his confidence has obviously been shot to pieces by the fact that he's largely been warming the bench, and in recent games he's been forced to play out wide where he clearly isn't comfortable. I really hope that a spell elsewhere revitalises him as I think he's a far better player than most of the QPR fans have given him credit for.

Troubled times at Loftus Road. I still think that we can escape relegation, but I must admit that it's looking pretty tough.
