If the new gaffer lacks that authentic leadership these lads will have to be better than good to be at their best, to be unaffected by change would make individuals exceptional. Its normal sporting psychology where faith, or doubt in leadership will effect positively or negatively mindset and performance levels. Edited November 11, 2023 by Cowshed 2 Quote Link to comment

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 These things can take time, sometimes it can get worse before it gets better but this shouldn't really be the case here. Let's see how it looks after a few games but it doesn't sound promising. Time to train with them, instil principles hopefully build on good. Middlesbrough at home next- they beat Leicester today. We played very well vs an arguably superior Middlesbrough over Easter..Akpom, Archer, Giles albeit we still had Scott of course. Quote Link to comment

Today was just one of those days that didn’t go our way or to plan. Next game might be a better performance and more effort shown. Hence he would be showing authentic leadership as well. let’s give it more than a few days yeah mate? Quote Link to comment

I did not mention todays performance at all. I remarked on your general point about the players not being a good bunch of lads and the players going out and doing their best. You are maybe not understanding the point about authentic leadership, and trust in that leadership and sport. If in the next game the players might show more effort, and this might is a consistent behaviour the leadership is failing. Effort is psychological, it is mindset and players who doubt what they are doing, their team mates, or their leadership will display inconsistencies as a behaviour. Quote Link to comment
bearded_red Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Worst we’ve played all season. We haven’t played a poor team and looked worse than them in eighteen months, nice throw back today. Absolutely rubbish. 2 Quote Link to comment

Also worth pointing out QPR have won once at home since last March, got 2 points (including today’s) from the 21 available this season, the worst home record in all 4 divisions. 1 Quote Link to comment
UncleRed Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) @Cowshed I understand what you said no matter how many “big words” you tried to use and repeat yourself. I didn’t say they had no leadership and lacked effort today. You’re saying if they haven’t got a leader it will be hard for them to put in effort. I thought as bad as the performance was today the effort was definitely there. I was just commenting on someone’s post about them lacking effort because potentially the change in manager. And I said the players seem like a good group and will try their best for the new manager. Just because they may have liked playing under NP and disagree with his departure. Thankfully footballers understand that it doesn’t matter and on to the next so to speak. edit: forgot the quote Edited November 11, 2023 by UncleRed Quote Link to comment

Not everything has to be “one versus the other.” I said if the players liked Pearson then that doesn’t mean they won’t respect and commit for LM. When you come onto a match thread mentioning lack of authentic leadership and effort, I think most people would assume that you are talking about the match that the match thread is the subject of. I sense you’re trying to cause an argument for the sake of it and I think you’re not understanding my posts. Cheers cow let’s leave it as that.

Bazooka Joe Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Was excited when we signed Mehmeti. Sadly, he has, so far, been a massive letdown. Could be worse. At least he's not a Lansdown. Quote Link to comment

No blame on Manning atall but that was a dreadful game. The only positive for me was when Knight was moved forward and TGH sat in beside James. Annis is not a Championship winger but may do more centrally. As for the rest of the game, instantly forgettable. Hopefully better to come plus we didn't lose. Bingo! Just my thoughts on getting back from London too. I read a little of the thread at half time: it was poor, no doubt; two sides with new managers and players trying to do new things and take on board new expectations and struggling. But, as poor as it was the reaction on here was even more OTT. I’ll probably take a pass on reading any more! Yes, TGH hugely improved things: composure, the ability to make a little space for himself and find a pass. And it gave Knight the opportunity to move forward where he looked so much better - and actually brought more out of Sykes. I felt we finished much stronger, and we did actually create a few half chances. Hopefully Manning will have learnt a lot from it, and we go again in two weeks. 5 Quote Link to comment
