ATTENTION!
The blog is paused because I has left for Euro 2012 in Poland.
I will return and continue blogging in 2 weeks.

Season 7 with the new tactics and the new squad after the great transfer campaign continues. I am ready to claim Q.P.R. has started to show more confident performance in October and November. The period featured high effectiveness of our attack: we started to score more goals than in September and August.
12 matches: 10 wins, 2 losses
Premier League
Q.P.R. is among title contenders after 12 fixtures. This is the start I really like! Pay attention that Arsenal is having a great run now. But I don’t think they are unattainable.
The worst match
Loosing 0:1 to one of league outsiders at home is always a pain. It’s so difficult to understand the reasons of the loss… Somehow we couldn’t create a single clear cut chance, though managed to fail several decent goal chances. Possession and corners gave nothing in this game.
The best match
Each of my leading strikers made a double. And Daniel Bazan has even managed to miss his 2nd penalty! Exciting victory with complete advantage over one of serious Premier League opponents.
Q.P.R. and Everton were equal by head-to-head results till this moment. Moreover, we have never one in 3 or more goals like this time!
Pay attention I made two another match reports on my FM Crowd blog:
- Daniel Bazan and his first hat-trick for QPR (5:1 win over Bristol City)
- My first Premier League loss in season 7 (2:3 loss to Tottenham)
Europa League
Simply perfect results. Easy group as for me.
The qualification is already guaranteed and it means I will give a chance for QPR backup players in two last EL group matches.
Q.P.R. players
Feeling happy with my players! They have good average ratings, so many guys are above 7.00. I feel they like Fluidity tactics :-)
Newcomer Seamus Coleman has 6.91, but I do like his performance. The Irishman is a very confident defensive winger who can tackle and cross the ball excellently.
The best player of the reported period is again Carlos Fierro. 14 goals in 14 games - what I should say more! But this time I would like to single out John Fleck who had an inspiring form during the last matches.
John Fleck
Now I see John performs better as a central playmaker than a left winger.
Future matches
So as you see I am in very good mood now. The squad is still in the blending process getting more and more confident. In January-February players should show their best football as a team with a high level of communication and cooperation. It’s really important for me because there will be a “Wonderful Christmas time” for The Rangers:
30.12 - Arsenal
01.01 - Manchester United
10.01 - Chelsea
17.01 - Manchester City
24.01 - Liverpool
I am sure these matches will decided our destiny in the Premier League season. Hope to remain a title contender after all…
Excited to blog for you,
Vitaliy Mokosiy
