Ainsworth wants ‘big changes’ at QPR
QPR boss Gareth Ainsworth plans “big changes” at the club following the end of a miserable season.
Rangers’ 2-0 loss to Bristol City was their 12th home defeat of the campaign and highlighted their shortcomings at both ends of the pitch.
“It just hits home and gives me more evidence of what I need to do in the summer,” said Ainsworth, who took over in February.
“There are big changes that need to happen here. We’ve got to have real, big changes here in the summer. I’m realising that more and more.
“You’ve got to be passionate. You’ve got to be crawling off that pitch at the end of the game. I was really expecting a bit more today.
“But I don’t want to let it get to me too much. I’ve got to sort my squad out and sort the changes out.”
Once again, QPR are set to preside over a huge turnover of players during a summer transfer window.
“I want a proper team that reflects the way I am, the way I manage, the way I want things done – and I aim to do that,” Ainsworth declared.
“I’m sure there will be a lot of comings and goings throughout the summer. I want to be in here sorting it out and I’ll do my best to do that.
“It’s going to be tough. But, given the chance and given the backing, I think I can bring the right characters in.”

Local marshes players would show more professionalism than this shower. Sadly, at the moment, most of us can only see relegation next year, and likely that will be done and dusted by February.
It’s actually hard to believe that, over the season, 3 other teams were worse than us, even without points deductions.

Here we go again, big changes during the break but can only be just more of the same old same old. We cannot afford anything else. Just tie up the decent ones and bring on the hidden talent – thats all you can do under the circumstances.
