Independent Rs Messageboard

From West London Sport...

R’s boss Critchley, who made three changes to the side that drew with
Sheffield United earlier this week, was seething at the performance and
admitted he feared the worst following a poor training session
on Thursday before the team made the long journey to the Fylde Coast
on Friday.

“I said to the players at half-time ‘if we carry on like this we will lose the game’.

“It was a bewildering performance and not acceptable for this football club.

“Thursday’s training session concerned me and I told the group that."

[ESSEXURs]

It’s refreshing to see Critchley saying it as it was prior to the match and
the players obviously chose to ignore him.

Put them all on performance related contracts with a much lower basic wage
and that might concentrate their minds

The team in that form does not deserve the good away support they have
and should be paying the travelling fans expenses.

[Steve Russell]

Has he lost the dressing room already?

[ESSEXURs]

Tail wagging the dog time. Hardly consistently set the world alight before
Critchley so has he cut their sweeties allowance?

[Tommy Cunningham]

Let’s be brutally honest here, this group of players have been inconsistent all season.
Supporters keep commenting on Willock’s form of late, if he’s not injured he is
performing very poorly.

His heart doesn’t appear to be at QPR, the exact same as Ilias Chair who really
has started to believe he is a world beater.

Well neither of these players are the superstars they believe they are, if the club
get any reasonable offers for any of our players this month I hope they sell them.

I think Beale was a wrong’un and actually done QPR more harm than good,
Beale and Ferdinand were responsible for recruitment when putting this
squad together.

Unfortunately for us as supporters, these players are not having Neil Critchley.

Given Neil Critchley’s comments on Thursday’s training session, how and why can
a training session go so badly 48 hours before a difficult 3rd Round FA Cup game
away is baffling.

I hope the club stand their ground here and back Critchley.

[ESSEXURs]

They must back Critchley even if it means offloading or not playing certain
players whoever they are.

They are contracted to play and give 100% every time they go on the field
whether it be training or match day.

If they have turned on Critchley do they want the club to appoint an alternative
manager of their choosing? One who doesn’t care about standards and players
giving 100% effort?

Whilst players must have a say in exceptional circumstances in normal circumstances
they must do as they are instructed or languish in the reserves.

[Tommy Cunningham]

You get the impression that we weren’t the only team in London this weekend, to exit
the FA Cup at the first attempt where the players downed tools and are not
having their new manager.
