They’ve started well and are playing some lovely passing football.
With Liam Manning in charge they will get found out soon as he’s a one trick pony. Let’s not forget he was the main reason MK got relegated last season, even with a good squad and healthy budget.
He was also the main reason they nearly went up the year before, Stewart and Stockdale and co giving a defensive masterclass being the only reasons they didn't.
All their loan players going back and the replacements not being up to it were the main reason they went down and that's something we'll need to be wary of next season.
Daily Record piece today on Wishaw Wycombe Wanderers, on their 30th anniversary season and which I think @bluntphil has recently covered. Beware, lots of pop-ups, use an ad blocker if you can.
If QPR can afford to sack GA, I feel he probably has to give them a reason not to in the next three games or so. Managerial leashes are unfortunately short.
He has been very unlucky this season, and they could easily have another 6-10 points, but bad teams do tend to suffer more from bad luck, as they don't have the talent to overcome it.
I think they have Blackburn next. Hoping Gareth can engineer a win against his boyhood club.
I've seen a lot of posts on social media this week re Southend and Scunthorpe. Funnily enough I havnt seen one single Derby fan going on about the "football family" !

They'd still have had to beat Sunderland in the final. You can't say losing to us is the only reason they didn't go up
True, Sunderland and them both had very good players for the division and there's no contest when you compare both teams support
5500 yesterday at Franchise.
Crowds of that size mean they must be losing even more money than before, hopefully Winkleman will stop funding them soon and they’ll fade away.
1 more than us
But we don’t have to maintain a 30000 seater stadium.
Gradually becoming more and more like Darlington.
Are they still giving loads of tickets away to fluff up the attendance?
QPR forum: Ainsworth out/in poll running at about 60/40 in favour of out, at the time of writing.

Cracking game of pure football at Ewood Park.
wouldn’t it be great if Vardy did a Simon Garner and saw out his career with a couple of seasons with us (in the Championship of course).
Isn't he seeing out his career in the Championship already?

not sure he’d pass the character test
Does it extend to wives?
As far as I’m aware, yes, she also seems racist.
My premise was that Leicester restore their rightful (?!) place in the Premier League.
Perhaps I should keep up with the gossip columns.
Perhaps not.
Rangers sack Michael Beale.
QPR fans have something new to post about other than Ainsworth Out
Looking at their forum, they certainly don’t want Beale back. Mixed views on Ainsworth but pressure is mounting. Now in the bottom three.

They have Leeds away this Wednesday
Congratulations (hopefully) to Southend:
Great news for Southend.

Ipswich top of the championship after 10 games is very impressive, some huge clubs in that division.
Could we all just take a moment to laugh at Man United
Cheltenham make it 11 games without scoring
Their only goal in any competition this season was an OG in the pizza trophy (they lost 4-1)
I always thought robins left empty nests...now I realize it was empty nets.
Southampton more than 10 years ago the last team to go back-to-back from third tier to PL, I believe
Just the six automatic qualifiers for the 2030 World Cup... https://twitter.com/MiguelDelaney/status/1709580108069998911
