I know everyone is worried about us and our current form but QPR are in far worse form than us and frankly, I can't see them getting much change out of their remaining fixtures.

Agreed, and with so many people clamouring for Ince to go, QPR is a decent example of getting someone in and it not working. Someone who a lot of Reading fans wanted as well, might I add.

Whilst it may click for Ainsworth, or they may stay up more by other sides failings - I said at the time he was the wrong man at the wrong time for QPR. Get why he went given his history there but it really was not the time to move. Still a chance that his old club could swap places with his new one next year.

This.

It's who they're losing to as well. The last four defeats are to Wigan, Blackpool, Rotherham & Birmingham. You keep thinking they can't keep getting worse but it's got Hull 2019/20 vibes about it now.

and we couldn't even beat Hull that season, we drew 1-1 with them and that was 1 of just 2 points they gained from January until the end of the season.

I hope QPR stay up (as long as its not at our expense) as it's a local away day. Would prefer Huddersfield or Rotherham to go down but QPR going down would be funny.

Doesn't matter that it is local for me. The tickets for QPR are always stupidly overpriced and the away end is dogshit.

And if the fakes do go down, would Ainsworth get the push?

I played with all the remaining fixtures and
watched QPR slowly drift into the bottom 3
only to win their last game 2-1 against a Bristol
side full of second-string players and catch Blackpool
who had escaped the drop (they thought).

Never understood why so many people rated him so highly.

Because he did an incredible job of building a small club up from next to nothing on a very limited budget I guess.

He is going to struggle at QPR, he won't be afforded the same luxury of having time or freedom to build squads. Some managers are just one club guys and I think that could be true of Ainsworth. Wouldn't shock me in the slightest to see him back at Wycombe by the years end.

Cardiff's top goal scorer Callum Robinson has been ruled out for the season by the looks of things!! Seeing as they have a pretty tough run in this may end up being some good news for us.

I actually think, out of the 5 sides directly battling it out, I think QPR and Rotherham are going to be in the most trouble. The former have been in awful form for months whereas the latter don't win enough games.

I know our form is bad, but we've had bad spells of form before and managed to pull away from that so I'm hopeful we can do that again, if we don't then we will go down.

Still no relegation odds o several of the main sites, Brum are under investigation but looks a suspended deduction at best ands Wigan investigation unlikely to be concluded this season.

Swift puts the Baggies in front at Rotherham, good news for us before we've even kicked a ball I suppose at the moment.
