I notice the same people that wanted Marti out now want JS out.
Guys, it really isn't the manager. I don't think replacing the CEO will change much either. It's our absent owners that are the issue.
Under this regime the culture of the club will remain 16th in Championship with a few hammerings every season thrown in for good measure.
If the club is ever sold then you may see things change, until then it's doubtful |

He's 22, first season at this level and on 7 goals. He's not the issue and will likely win Young Player of the Season |

Reply | Playoff positions to be extended to 7 & 8th place

In reality it's 2 extra games.
So 5th will play home to 8th and 6th home to 7th.
After that it's regular play offs.
So if we froze the table now you'd have
Hull v Derby
Wrexham v Saints
Then across 2 legs you'd get
Ipswich v whoever the lowest place team that won their game was
Millwall v second lowest place team
What it actually looks like to me is ANOTHER way to benefit parachute payment clubs who tend to finish 4th and 5th by giving them 1 less game to get back to the Prem. |

This article couldn't say less if it tried.
He went to the British museum, he walks around Windsor but hasn't bothered to go to the castle.
It's barely even a puff piece, more a siren from club and agent that he exists and we would quite like to sell him this summer for some profit please |

Our best hope is to sit in and be defensive.
Get that ball up to Kone quickly and have someone with pace around him.
Need to stodge the midfield up as well, perhaps something like
Walsh, Mbengue, Cook, Dunne, RND, Hayden, Varane, Edwards, Smyth, Vale, Kone
It's desperately negative, but the potential to lose 4-5 in a row is creeping in |

So Rowett, Neil, O'Neil, Manning, Beale, Cleverly
Other than that there aren't exactly many knocking around who are our level |

Now just 'unavailable and don't know when he will return'.
Very, very strange. Either something personal is going on or he is chronically fked |

Think it's more that we look like 'only' losing 1 parachute payment club in Ipswich (if at all) and the teams coming down are going to be absolutely stacked.
Still, Vale and Morgan centre mid should sort that out |

There's 12 games left. Play him and see if he gets better.
Address it in the summer after moving on Nardi and Hamer. You need to sell one of Cooper or Walsh though, can't have them both as development options |

Not sure what we do with him now. He's likely got 2/3 years left on a decent wedge of money. Certainly one that hasn't worked |

Does feel like next season you will have a stronger division with the following teams having sorted themselves out
Saints, Norwich, Sheff U. Plus only one of Ipswich, Wrexham or Birmingham likely to go up.
The teams coming down will be hurling money around to go straight up Wolves, Burnley, WHam/Forest/Spurs. So that's 8 teams already looking strong for next season.
As for us and this season, I think it will be successful if we keep avoiding long losing streaks and streaks with no wins. Plus stay bobbing around 10th - 14th.
After the next 2 home games there's 5 very winnable home games to come (Pompey, Watford, Bristol, Swans, Derby) so every chance we finish the season alright.
I do think the building blocks are there now. Dunne, Edwards, Madsen, Chair, Burrell, Kone is certainly enough to be cracking on with! |

The manager isn't the issue. He's done fine this season.
The issue is that an already run ragged group of players are expected to put in high level performances days apart with lots of travel in the middle.
You also have to question, once again, the squad building. Ronnie Edwards came in so Morrison and Field had to go out. We haven't been able to rest or replace Madsen at all and now he's likely out for the season.
Bad injuries and big spending means the squad is unbalanced as we look to keep an even keel.
Didn't expect a win last night, but the capitulation was unacceptable. But that's on more than just the manager |

The results against the bottom teams have been really poor this season and will be what potentially keeps us from having a really decent season (8-12th) to a deeply average one (16th) |

I think the accounts aren't stunning but aren't a bin fire.
But really it all hinges on selling someone this summer. I do think we likely should've cashed in on Varane last summer when around £5m was being dangled in front of our noses.
It's a BIG summer for how the club moves forward. Sell Varane, buy 3 players and make a profit then it's great. But if we don't then we are heading towards issues again |

at 14:05 16 Feb 2026
The squad needs full backs and central midfielders plus a GK.
We also need to be loaning out the fringe players who aren't at the level yet.
Adamson, Esquardinha, Morgan, Bennie.
Squad for next season should be
GK - Walsh, Cooper, New GK
RB - Mbengue, New RB
LB - Larkeche, New LB
CB - Dunne, Edwards, JCS, Morrison
CM - Madsen, Hayden, New CM, New CM (I'm assuming Varane gets sold)
AM - Chair, Poku, Dembele, Smyth, Saito, Kolli, Vale
ST - Kone, Burrell, Obikwa
I reckon that's 4 signings with the midfield one's and left back being key |

If we didn't already have a thousand 5 foot 5 wingers/no 10's I'd be all over it.
Would absolutely tear the division apart.
Was a wonderful player who has been spat out by Chelsea after not really doing much wrong for them |

FWIW my mate is an agent who brought a few players to QPR this summer (I can't really go into more detail than that, hope you all understand). He says his clients all absolutely love it here and there's a great atmosphere at the club. Much more positive than it ever has been before when he's had players at QPR.
I asked him about Nourry and he certainly wasn't dismissive of him. Said he absolutely loves data. His overall impression was of a good club being run well.
He's not the guy bringing all these Aussies over!! Just thought I'd slightly dispell the myth of 'evil agents' as he's a good guy |

Rancid last night. Type of game he should be relishing. Sht opposition, tired players and acres of space. Should've been running the thing, instead he was atrocious and did next to nothing after a bright opening 10 minutes |
