QPR Story: 6th season: Slow start

Hello everyone, hope you are well. In my last post, I had just brought in Pato and Rafhael, 2 brilliant Brazilians. But I had also lost the first leg of my UEFA Cup 4th qualifying round tie, to Greek minnows Anorthosi, and faced a real battle to get into the group stages. Or so I thought. Here are my next 18 fixtures of the 6th season:

Some good results there, and some bad results. The first match against Chelsea was awful, along with Ipswich, West Brom and West Ham. The best results were Sunderland (first competitive win), Anorthosi, Reading, Red Star (x2), Dundee Utd and Swansea. Sorry LiamTheWelshman, but I completly crushed your favourite team haha. Anyway, lets see how the table looks:

As you can see, it has been decent, but less than I expected. I really was expecting us to be at least 5th, possibly even 4th, but seeing as we are 1 point away from 5th and just 3 points away from 3rd, I know that a good run of games would see us where I feel we belong; the top 4. As for the UEFA Cup group, we are as good as through, seeing as Red Star have to overturn a goal difference of 15 to put us out. We still have a match against Dundee Utd, who we comfortably beat in the other fixture, so I am almost certain we will finish top of our group. Happy days! Anyway, onto player ratings:

As you can see, there have been some decent ratings, but the thing that got me the most is that Sylvan Ebanks-Blake has been our top performing striker, even though he isn't top scorer! That in itslf shows how badly Pato, Keirrison and Christos Oikonomou performed in the first few games. Anyway, for those who don't want to look through the screenshot, I shall summarise the ratings for you. Top scorer is Pato with a good score of 6 in 14 appearances. Second is Keirrison with 5 goals in 14, and third is a tie between Jack Wilshere, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Franco Zuculini, all on 4. Top assister is Franco Zuculini, with a very good 7 in 18 appearances. Second is Ashley Young with 6 in 17, and third is Hobbit Bermudez, 5 in 11. Top rating goes to Zuculini (he has been on fire) with 7.43. Sebastian Dupont is second with 7.29 and Hobbit Bermudez is third with 7.25. Interestingly, the bottom 3 ratings include Pato and Keirrison, our top 2 scorers. I don't think I have ever had that sort of situation before!

Anyway, that is it for this post, I will post up another one once I have done another 15-18 games. For now, so long!

PS: Please tell me what you think of the names in bold writing. I am testing it out and want to know if you would want me to continue or not. Cheers.
