Reply | Will Chair be back to his injury free best?
at 23:06 22 Feb 2026
His injuries over the past two seasons are a real concern as we were so used to him being ever present. This latest one is particularly baffling because he was due back 2 months ago. Obviously he will be rusty when he does come back, but I think is still an integral part of the team, probably on the left as that is a problem for us, whereas ‘10’ is well-stocked.
It would be great for him to get a run of games to regain his match sharpness, have a full-pre-season and come racing out of the traps next season. |

Good post, John. Unquestionably, we are in a better place than 12 months ago (or 24 months ago for that matter). Obviously the more expensive recruits and crippling injuries have been discussed to death on here as reasons we should be doing better/reasons why we are not higher up the table.
One point I would like to make, is that Stephan seems to have found a way to stop a spiral of long losing runs (cue spiral starting with Southampton). HOW he has done that is by grinding out an ugly away draw after a loss. My view on these games has been well aired on other threads and I feel we have been lacking in ambition at Oxford and Charlton . However, purely from a ‘stopping the rot before it starts’ point of view it has been effective. We may have only won three games since Christmas, but we have only lost roughly the same amount and never consecutively. So in a nutshell we have become ‘hard to beat’ (most of the time) which is tangible progress too. |

Really not a cause for concern. Took his goal expertly and his finish v Coventry was top drawer. Important to focus on the positives I think, without looking for perceived negatives. Plenty real ones will come along in due course. |

Just a pity he wouldn’t shoot every now and then. |

I agree, Bennie’s belter will grab the headlines and I’m delighted for him. But not for the first time, Kone has finished with aplomb. Looks like we will have two strikers in double figures this season, which is a significant uptick on previous years. A nod too, to OG who continues to weigh in with vital strikes. |

I always liked Sinclair, especially because of his exploits for us (Ireland) in his younger days and I was sorry when we sold him. However, nobody could say he has kicked on since he left us and is pretty much at the same level he was 2-3 years ago. That said, I’m pleased to see him bang in the odd goal or two. |

But we are all the same in a QPR context that's my initial point. We are all QPR fans, who want them to do well. That's the common denominator that should be the base starting point for all discussion I would have thought. |

Maybe, maybe not. Wolves were only 1-0 up, not 2, and then Liverpool scored 3 in the last 15 minutes. Also, Wolves were relegated as a result of the loss, so unlikely they ‘threw’ the match.
But yes, Liverpool ‘requested’ a postponement from their original April fixture, as a couple of their players were on International duty, so obviously that shouldn’t have been allowed to happen. |

Big name players missing too. Our away form regression I believe lies with the manager. Way back at SU (who were in chronic form at the time) he saiid the point ‘kept the 9 point gap between us’. That was telling about his mind set so early in the season. Also I suspect they will overtake us in the next game or two |

Superb orator and took up MLKs mantle seamlessly. Unfortunate not to be nominated for President, which makes the calibre of the current incumbent even more lamentable. |

I know we are (in our opinion anyway) the most frustrating team in the entire league. Beat Coventry, lose to Blackburn blah, blah, blah. (For me the most frustrating game of the entire season was Portsmouth away and we didn’t even lose! Because I stupidly thought beating Leicester was a ‘watershed’ moment in our season , instead of a ‘tear in the fabric of reality’ moment) But despite all the misgivings, the heartaches, the ball-aches , the downright boredom in supporting this team, this club, we are all ultimately singing off the same hymn sheet are we not? We all want this team to succeed, do we not? Success can mean different things to different fans (4th round of the FA Cup would be nice for example), play-offs anyone? But ultimately we all want to win more games than we lose and we want to be entertained while winning these games.
So, with this in mind and bearing in mind our universal admiration for Clive and the effort he puts in here, and the cognisance of the shit he takes on line, just by keeping this site afloat and daring to be honest and truthful .Can we not try - if not to all get along - to at least moderate our differences and show common support for the club we love, while perhaps making Clive’s job a touch easier? |

The real issue for me is the mindset and that comes from the manager. ‘A win on Saturday validates tonight’s draw’ is a clear admission that (a) he played for a draw against Charlton (and Oxford and Stoke) and (b) that he knew a draw was not really good enough. If you actually believe that getting a point at Charlton (or bloody Oxford) is a decent result then you are in trouble. You put yourself under enormous pressure to win your home games. Win at Oxford and Charlton and today and Wrexham, while incredibly frustrating are not nearly as damaging.
Our form since we beat Leicester has been borderline relegation, injuries or no, we need to pick up a couple of wins to steady the ship. |

The whole ‘scapegoat’ thing is very interesting. It seems there has to be somebody that the fans can blame for whatever shortcomings the team/club have at any given time. Field and Smyth are good examples, but there are others. Many on here ready to write off Walsh before his QPR career had even properly began and were almost gleeful about Wrexham’s late goals as they ‘proved’ he was sh1t (how culpable he was is open to rational debate, but not to the scape-goaters) The same people are silent on his clean sheets.
The vitriol directed at Frey prior to his transfer was better suited to a Joey Barton type than an honest, hard-working pro, who was the ‘right sort’ and -we belatedly found out- did outstanding work for the community. Did he score enough goals? Was he mobile and speedy? The answer of course is a resounding no (if he was a prolific, speedy striker he wouldn’t be at QPR etc etc). Did he deserve the personal abuse and insults - an equally resounding ‘no’
Charlie Kellman was written off last summer, before he kicked a ball in anger. He was League One’s top scorer. We signed Burrell, Kobe and Poku from League One and everyone was jumping up and down with excitement, despite being sniffy about Kellman. Of course with the 20/20 vision that hindsight provides , those ‘sniffers’ can smugly say they were right as Burrell tore up the Championship before his injury and Kobe has had a decent season, while Kellman has generally struggled at Charlton. But NOBODY knew this last summer, yet he was written off.
This list is just recent-it has been ever thus - but even taken current players - Field, Smyth, Walsh Frey - it makes for a depressing pattern of behaviour. |

Ah, I see. Makes sense I guess, as opposed to the ‘fixture congestion’ that has happened in the past in the good old days of multiple replays. Speaking of the FA Cup. In the mythical 4th round, Leicester and Southampton meet again. |
