I've never seen him play but from written reports he's quick and wants to run beyond defences.
If so... I'd imagine they were already looking at signing him in the summer but perhaps moved more quickly as Burrell is going to miss so many games. |

I mean it did literally happen - with us - 12 months ago. It's not like Edwards is a liability as a defender either, he was arguably our best defender and our best passer in the second half of last season.
Even if the back 4 isn't 'broken' defensively, it could still be a reason the other two units aren't functioning. They have to do more than just defend.
I think we've been the most functional and balanced over the last couple of years when we've had Edwards and / or a fit and fluent Clarke Salter in the back four and I don't think that's any coincidence. The more we can get the ball to Madsen the more chances we'll create. With Edwards in the side he'll get the ball more often. It's pretty much as simple as that. We have to get him fit and ready ASAP because I think we're crying out for him. |

But Wombat that's part of what Edwards brings.
I agree with you, Cook and Dunne have been superb in the last couple but only as 'stoppers'. They're both bodies on the line, set piece discipline type centre halves and should get a lot of credit for being so. But after January last year Edwards was arguably our most progressive passer of the ball, even / especially when at centre half. What you lose with last ditch heroics and defensive set pieces with Edwards over Cook, you gain in getting the ball toward the right players in the right spaces from an attacking sense. |

Between us beating Leicester 4-1 at home and the end of the weekend; you submitted 3 posts.
Between us nicking a dour 0-0 point at Stoke and the end of the weekend; you submitted 63 posts.
After any 'bad' result this forum is clogged up with your desperate attempts to besmirch players, managers, accents, tactics, team selections - basically anything you can get your teeth into. It makes skimming through the forum like walking through molasses. It makes you look like you're sat there every weekend like a glutinous medieval king at a banquet every time we don't rip through our opponents. "Off with his tete" or some sh!t. Maybe it's just your way of dealing with bad results / performances but it's beyond tedious for the rest of us.
If you have to hold QPR managers in such contempt every time they spoil your weekend with a 0-0 draw I guess that's your prerogative. But do you really have to make the rest of us suffer too? |

Thanks for confirming.
Is having ten outfield first team players out this weekend actually good news? It would be cool if you could clarify because the deranged group think is only telling me it's probably suboptimal. Thanks in advance. |

So... Just to clarify. With Dembele, Vale and Mbengue having tests, if none of those are fit enough, the list of players unavailable is:
Morrison
Clarke Salter
Mbengue
Dembele
Chair
Saito
Poku
Vale
Varane
Burrell
Which leaves of the established first team players:
Dunne
Cook
RND
Edwards
Field
Smyth
Hayden
Madsen
Morgan
Kone
Kolli
That's 48% of our outfield players that are injured. Someone make this make sense. That cannot be a coincidence. I have no idea how you pick a team to be competitive over 90 mins. |

Great post, this.
This injury update gives us two things to feel elated about:
A) So many influential players are going to be unavailable for a significant chunk of time / games.
B) That we know about it.
Lastly, what we should definitely NEVER do is expect the club to have elite standards in terms of preparation, analytics and fitness in order to prevent injuries. Nor should we care about or expect something so utterly fundamental as having grass on our fu<king pitch in the vain hope that it's easier to pass the ball and run / tackle without spraining your knee.
Next injury update thread I want party poppers, turbo shandies and a queue for HR in the morning.
You're all miserable pricks. |

Kolli 1,455 minutes for QPR, 8 goals. Goal every 181 minutes.
Kone 1,763 minutes, 5 goals. Goal every 352 minutes.
Burrell 1,890, 10 goals. Goal every 189 minutes.
As 1JD says - completely unfair to list Kolli’s goals per games appeared in. He has a better goals per minute ratio than anyone at the club. He’s scored more often than Burrell. |

Frey is ‘tied down for several more years’?
Really?
What does ‘several’ mean?
Sounds like complete bollocks. |

I said some pretty poisonous things about him on here last season. I feel a bit foolish now as I love watching him play and he’s one of the best and most important players in the squad.
If we had to vote tomorrow for player of the season I know Burrell would win it by a landslide but I think I would vote Madsen. Hopefully he stays fit and keeps getting better because when he’s firing he is some player. |

The most comfortable I’ve felt with a GK for a long time. Very decent all round game. Just felt solid.
Probably says quite a lot about the state of our goalkeepers for the last 18 months that a journeyman semi retired keeper that’s been a serial Championship backup for the best part of a decade looks a class above what we’re used to. |
