2014 Back to the Future - QPR

[Obika]

So it begins

My less than illustrious return is heralded with a career! Just going to be playing through with QPR to get to grips with the game myself, find some decent players and hopefully provide you with some interesting events, upsets and details you can use yourself.

The Club

Out of the English teams it was going to be, QPR were most interesting (over Everton, Newcastle, Spurs). I decided to take them back up to the top flight and try and succeed - ought to be hard when just starting out.

Update 1

Having kicked out the crook Redknapp and his cronies, I recalled Loïc Rémy. theend

[Lee-Roy]

Getting them back will be a breeze, keeping them there is the challenge. Good luck.

Good Luck

Summary

All too easy. Rémy was amazing as expected, we dominated. Too many draws for my liking in league - knocked out of cups by big teams, can't remember who.

Bring on the Prem!

Nice work mate I'd maybe include more in your updates if I were you, such as how you got on in cups (match picture) and so on.

[Obika]

I will definitely now I'm in to the bigger leagues. Thanks!

[dude18wl]

How did you use remy? He hasn't been as successful on my Newcastle save.....

[Obika]

It was in the Chanpionship, remember. As an AdF next to Austin or Kane as Poacher/Target Man

[Lewiitom]

Did you play Obika? and how did Zaha do?

Capital One Cup - Season 2

First real opportunity to get some silverware, as it seemed unlikely I would get the title first season or the FA Cup.

Match 1



Easy enough, playing with some back ups/reserves.

Match 2



Marginally stronger team than round 1 overcame our Premier League opposition.

Match 3



Peterborough stretched us, surprisingly! Always seemed like winning, but never quite there until the end of the match.

Match 4



Managed to get through with relative ease! Into the semi finals - against Charlton!

Match 5 + 6



After a disappointing first leg, soundly thrashed Charlton to get into the final!

Match 7 - The Final

Against Manchester United. We had to beat them in the league, and they would almost certainly win as they had fine form behind them.



However, at half time we were upsetting all the odds! We were cruising - easily could have scored more!



Disaster struck at 3-0. Hernandez scored - I wasn't too worried. Then Stech clattered him alone in the area, which earned him a red card and gave away a penalty! With all of my subs used, I was forced to put Charlie Mulgrew in goal.

The penalty was taken, and then soon after they scored once more. On to extra time! I played five at the back, on defensive mode and cautious tackling. We were going for the penalties - and we got them. All we had to do was keep our nerve now!



It pulled off! Mulgrew made a fine save to prevent Hulk from bagging another penalty, and from then on it was tense.

This was the tensest final I have been in - my job was on the line, as I promised the board cup success and continental qualification (not looking likely from the league front). 3-0 up, to 3-3 then penalties to finish.

Fantastic stuff! Will be seeing you in the Europa League next year!

- I did play Obika. He actually got some goals! Zaha was decent, I'll find his results soon.




Finished season two this morning - Obika got the goals, it seems, when it matters. A little decline.

[J-savage]

Well done on winning the CC Keep it up

[dude18wl]

Good stuff, impressed with your cup run too. :-)

Star Signing



Was expensive but definitely worth it!

Summary

Not disappointing - new game, takes some time to get used to. On 2013 if I had finished here I would have resigned with shame straight away! Loving the game so far, just hoping I don't get sacked as I'm really getting into it.

Looking forward to the Europa League and trying to finish higher next season!

I am playing QPR as well ~~

[Lewiitom]

Great going mate! I remember Obika from when he was on loan at Palace

Thanks! Obika has been amazing in season 3 (spoiler - too late)

Summary

Very very disappointed about the league. So close! I drew 2-2 with Everton on the last day of the season, and had many other close matches or matches where I should have won and we threw it away. The FA Cup was a nice consolation, gaining revenge on Chelsea. Our first foray into Europe was also a grand success, and was remarkably easy too.

Esmael Gonçalves was a massive flop, so I'm glad I took a punt on Kane, who, with Obika and Rémy, had a great season. Obika scored 15 in 20 - not bad for a third choice striker!

Pleased but not quite there yet! A 'competent and workmanlike performance' as the game would put it. Champions League is going to be fun (hopefully will get some big cash to play with too)!

[Andeva]

Very good parcour with Queens Park Rangers Congratulations 

[UKFootballScore]

sweet! really good performance!

[Curtle]

Hi mate I am in my second season of my qpr team and struggling a bit in the premiership, what tactic are you using? Cheers

[Obika]

A 4-2-2-2 I used - Wing Backs, mixture of CM tactical roles, an Inside Forward and Winger, then a Poacher and a Target Man.
