More to follow....Still in shock after today, so I will sleep on it and give a balanced view later!

24 hours later....still trying to find the balance. Gone for tea...

On reflection, this could have been a lot worse. Worse? I hear you cry. Yep a lot worse!
Think of it this way, we could have been in the same position as this time last year. Owners that couldn't have given a monkeys. No time to sign anyone respectable before the transfer window closed and no bleeding hope. We were hanging on a wing and a prayer till January.
Yes, Saturday, we may have been thumped but, you know, we now have a solid foundation, a structure, a strategy and owners that really want this club to succeed, not just short term but for the long term.
We also have a Manager who is shaping us up well. We were playing well at the end of last season and purchases have, in the main, been shrewd. We also know there is more to come before the end of August. A centre back? More than likely.
The scouting and youth set up is being rebuilt. The training facilities are in plan and a new stadium is part of the bigger picture.
One swallow doesn't make a Summer, they say. Neither does one, albeit heavy, defeat map out our whole season. Stick with it. Be positive; you all know that a Rangers' season is always going to be exciting, what ever the reason.
One other thing to bear in mind is the comments that Joey Barton made on Twitter at the weekend:
Does this really speak of a man that is part of any QPR future involvement. Nope, surely doesn't.
Now, I for one had got behind Joey, but he really let us and himself down at The Etihad and, rightly or wrongly, I can only now feel he was part of the problem. A cancer best cut out. It certainly looks like that has discretely happened here.
For that reason I feel our future is so much the better. Keep the faith.
Looking forward to Naarwich!
