We never win in the cup. In fact, we are probably the worst performing FA cup club in the last 20 years.
We have won something like 2 fa cup games in 15 years and usually get punted out by some mickey mouse team.
What is forest's record like and how likely is it that we can actually win a cup game?
Thoughts and opinions?
How many will Notts Forest beat us by?

It pains me to say it but a cup run is the last thing we need at the moment. A few more points on the Championship board is what we need. I keep thinkin about Wolves doing successive relegations not that many seasons ago. Les will be outed, it's just a question of ow much damage he does before he is.

Is he that bad? Didn't think QPR were doing terribly. Maybe it's karma for the FFP shenanigans...

Nowt to do with FFP Will, but we are doing badly. Judge for yourself........Feb 2015 Les Ferdinand convinces Tony (i'm not football) Fernandes to give im a job as director of football. He immediately makes a vastly experienced manager in Harry Redknapp leave. At the time we were a Premiership club with every chance of staying up. Fast forward to Jan 2016.......were in danger of slipping into league one. There's the facts .....judge for yourself.

Didn't Redknapp go due to ill health? Usually the DoF that cops all the flack when things go wrong. From the outside looking in, QPR's problems built up over a few seasons with a big squad built up with some vastly over paid and indifferent players. Similar to Forest's problems, really. Both clubs are in that twilight zone where they aren't happy just to be Div 2 clubs but haven't got the wherewithal to get to and sustain themselves in the Prem.

We have too many poor and not hungry players on huge wages. Les needs to go. but I think the owner needs to go too. We need someone sensible enough to run us like a proper business.

Sounds like your lot could do with a bit of embargo therapy to sort you out

We wouldn't be saying that if we were down the wrong end of the table, though. DF has done a fair job with meagre resources.
My impression of QPR over the last 5 years was that the owner wanted to run before he could walk, much like the current Forest chairman....

Don't think anyone but Jim and Les could predict our starting eleven but i would love to see Diakite and Almond back. Two nuts and 2-0 to Rangers.

Completely correct impression you have mate. As for going after a 40k stadium or whatever. it is laughable. Look at clubs like sunderland, boro and others who cant fill these huge stadiums.
