Soon after my post about QPR, they decided to relieve Gary Waddock of his role as manager, and appoint John Gregory instead.
I must admit to finding this a bit depressing - I’ve never been that keen on the idea of Gregory taking over, although it’s been rumoured on and off for about the last three years, so someone at QPR obviously liked the idea.
Waddock does have a pretty appalling record, in terms of straight results, but I think that the style of play has improved this season, and on the whole he seems to be more decisive during the match, making substitutions earlier and doing less random tinkering.
Having said all that, the team certainly aren’t performing as they should. Gregory may not be my first choice, but maybe he’s what we need right now. I certainly wish him luck.
We’ve got a threadbare squad, but there’s more than enough talent to stay in this division - let’s hope we manage it.

I’ve updated my QPR iCal calendar with the 2006-2007 fixtures.
After the disappointment of the World Cup, I’m really starting to look forward to the new season… now that’s a triumph of optimism over experience if ever there was one!
Neil’s off to Germany for a whole month of World Cup fun - and I’m jealous.
He’s set up a blog so that we can follow him on his travels.
