QPR under serious threat of relegation from the Premier League


    QPR, a team that is owned by multi-millionaires and have players that are good enough for the Premier League yet something has not clicked yet. It’s hard to point the finger on who’s to blame for QPR’s lack of form and results. Is it possibly Mark Hughes’ tactics or is the fact that the QPR players just are not working together as a team.
    
    In my opinion I don’t think that Hughes is the one to blame, he is a vastly experienced manager that knows the ins and outs to being a good manager. Hughes has proved himself on countless occasions that he is a fantastic manager yet his current crops of players at QPR don’t seem to be working well together.
    
    Why are they not working together? I would say that there are too many new faces in the squad; Hughes has splashed the cash on players that have the capability to perform in the Premier League but has that come at a cost? Obviously it has, QPR are sitting bottom of the Premier League table and are yet to win a game, and they have also leaked in 13 goals so things are not going well at this current moment in time.
    
    Yes it’s very early on in the season but to have zero points at this early stage isn’t good news. With an away tie at high flying WBA, QPR need to step up their game big time if they are to get a result at The Hawthorns. Anything other than a win is not going to be good enough.
    
    With QPR owner Tony Fernandes apparently giving Mark Hughes his full backing, this terrible run of performances needs to come to an end or I can only see one thing happening, Mark Hughes getting sacked. Honestly I don’t think QPR wouldn’t want to go through another “4 year plan” to get back to where they want.
    
    For QPR to even have a hope of staying up their home form has to be better, look at last year, they barely survived considering their awful home record. They need to step up big time for QPR to have any hope of retaining their place in the Premier League. With the huge wage bill that QPR have, relegation to the Championship is the worst case scenario for them.
    
    Onto a more personal opinion rather than a balanced argument, I feel that QPR have very little chance of stopping up in the Premier League. The players are just not on the same wavelength as each other and this is seriously affecting performance on the pitch, but it’s also affecting morale off the pitch. Obviously, low morale really affects the players and the clubs results. Once QPR gain that confidence from a first win, maybe, just maybe they can survive but on a personal note, I feel that QPR’s time in the Premier League is coming to an abrupt end.
