Warburton admits ‘we’ve let ourselves down’ after QPR’s play-off hopes end
Mark Warburton spoke of his disappointment after a 1-0 defeat at Stoke effectively ended any chance of QPR snatching a play-off place.
Manager Warburton faces the axe after a dismal end to the season which has seen his team tumble out of the promotion race.
He admitted: “It is frustrating because the team were in a really strong position and we’ve let ourselves down in certain games.
“There’s no doubt about the quality of the players but we have to be more consistent.”
Warburton hopes Rangers can at least better last season’s points total of 68.
To do so they will need to win both their remaining matches of the season, against Sheffield United and Swansea.
“The first thing is to beat last year’s points total,” Warburton said.
“We got 68 last year and finished ninth, two points off seventh, and this year we want to beat that total.
“We have to beat Sheffield United and beat Swansea to achieve that.”

Whats he talking about? we got 68 points last season and have 63 at present, 6 points still up for grabs and he thinks we can still get them on this performance. We are not at the same level as last season with less points achieved. I ask again – what happened to the ‘next level’ he was brought in to get.

As much as I like the guy,his tactics ,substitutions,since February have been strange.The players for whatever reason have not responded to him,the lack of passion,pressing the ball,aggression,it’s all gone gone in 3 months of dire football.I know you,llget fàn saying we,ve had injuries,but the players to cover them,should be good enough,to step up.Also I don’t see how when we do have so many injuries why we loan so many?it’s the perfect time for them to get experience.I think he lost the plot in February sadly,to get beaten by Pboro 3times!!!! is unacceptable too.I think we need to change in the Summer.You Rrrrrsss.

Without a doubt it is time for Mark to go. We have the players, but not the manager, sorry Mark. To defensive thinking, and not attacking enough. Plays players out of there natural postition to much, and messes the team around moving players about. Never seems to even know what his best team is. To many square balls. Slow going forward allowing opposition to get better set to defend.

Warburton did really well up until the time he started to think that we could win games without playing a striker , austin and dykes sitting on the bench , maybe the pressure of us being in the top six consistantly at the time effected him , i think its time warburton goes , we need a proven manager who doesnt bottle it when it looks like we may get promoted , he let himself , the players and the fans down .
