For me if he was fulfilling his potential he certainly wouldn't be with us.
He is still young enough to turn this round and I hope that during the week in training they are working on the areas he needs to improve on.
Paul Smyth has much less ability but my god does he work hard especially off the ball.
If we could merge them together we would have a £15M winger on our hands. |

Family are all from Acton and my Dad got me my first season ticket in 1975 aged 6.
The love has now been passed on to the next generation with my kids who are now also season ticket holders.
It gets you this bloody football club. |

Thank you Clive, an entertaining report far more enjoyable than its subject matter.
Whilst it was a poor game I was absolutely delighted with the point. As the away team with a long list of injuries I have seen many a QPR team go up North get bullied and well beaten. So to defend as well as we did and compete all over the pitch is a very big plus for me.
We went with two strikers so don't think we set up negatively, it was just how the game played out. You get these games in a 46 game season and it was good to see us get back on the bus with something instead of going home empty handed.
It will be an even better point if we win at Oxford.
And yes Jimmy Dunne was outstanding week by week he is inching himself into Alan McDonald legend status |

Personally I was delighted with a point. Loads of players out injured and over the years I have seen many a QPR side go away up North get bullied and beaten easily. I don’t think we went negativity as we played 2 forwards who both struggled but our back four and goalkeeper stood up and earned us a valuable point.
End of really was it a great game no but we stood up and left with a good away point.
Onto the next one….. |

Agree with this Simmo - We have become very predictable. A change in formation might just be the ticket.
They say "a change is as good as a rest"
Or as Charles Darwin would say "it's not the strongest of the species that will survive but the ones who are most adaptable to change" |

Bang on the money again Clive - A brilliant report on the game.
Unfortunately I was a little slow of the mark and by the time I logged in to buy my tickets on the evening they went on sale they had all sold out. Even attempts to purchase in the home end proved unsuccessful due to database dates etc etc. Dad was well and truly in the doghouse.
So we watched at home on the TV and were all very proud of the team and our support. We are a very special unique club.
I am totally aligned with your comments on Loftus Road. I never want us to leave the place I love everything about it especially its location and even the damage it does to my shins... |

My kids are absolutely buzzing about this and I am pleased too. However that niggle Clive has also sits with me on why he couldn't crack it at Southampton.
Then I read all the Saint's fans (well circa 90% of them) on social media saying they will live to regret selling him so I am now fully back in the great signing camp. Fans know a good player when they see one. |

Blimey that is a lot especially for a club losing £1.25M per month.
You have to give it to our owners with thier consistent backing of our beloved club and a big shout out to Eze too. We still love you Ebb’s
I guess they have also taken into consideration Steve Cook’s salary saving post June too for ongoing wages.
I still have a niggle why he wasn’t making the Saint’s squad though….. |

I guess all teams have injuries part and parcel of the game. Big chance now for the squad players who have been waiting patiently in the wings.
Hayden
Kolli
Morrison
Morgan
Field
Frey
Beanie
Smyth
All will now get more opportunities.......Big chance to shine |

I think we have messed up with the undersoil heating (wrong temperature or left on for too long) and it has killed the real grass on the pitch. Probably a human error. |

Top notch report Clive and thank you for all your efforts over the busy Christmas schedule keeping us fully entertained with your articles.
I said to my brother 30 seconds before Kolli scored his first "I was expecting a bit more from Rayan today with this opportunity" - A real commentators curse.
However I was delighted for him and weren't they great finishes. Hopefully he can stay fit now and really grab the opportunity that lies ahead for him. Maybe move Kone to the nine and have Rayan playing off of him.
Anyway at least we salvaged something from the Christmas disaster. I told the kids on the way home don't be too disappointed we are making progress as we are no longer looking over our shoulder at the Portsmouth and Oxford results and for now continue to look up the table.
Now for a nice FA cup run....... |

I had the mother of all hangovers and thought don't worry the boys down the bush will sort it out for you..........I came home and sat in a dark room with a cold flannel on my head.
January is a always a dreadful month to get through and it does bring some mental health issues but I guess we all just have to dig deep grit our teeth and get through to February when the lighter evenings slowly start to remove the fog from the brain.
A QPR cup run would also give us a big shot in the arm...... |

Thank you Clive - Great summary and a very valuable point away from home.
To be honest I would of been happy with a point before the game and am even more happy with the point after the performance.
I do think we need to tweak the starting eleven and our shape when playing away. We have the best squad we have had in years and some minor adjustments I think would really help the players.
Anyway overall I am absolutely delighted where we are at the halfway point. No reason why we can't have a good back nine and then who knows.......Maybe she will be wearing a blue and white ribbon in the merry month of May.
Oh and the John Sitton quotes brought a cheeky smile this morning. |

Top report on a great afternoon at HQ. My liver and kidneys took a right hiding Saturday.
There were a few groans in the pub beforehand when we saw Dembele starting ahead of Smyth but as you say that's the best game thus far from Dembele both with and without the ball so what do we know.....Boys were bang up for this one.
Can we now go to Portsmouth and get something which will be a completely different game as the hunter becomes the hunted. |

We said the same afterwards the shape and balance along with the aggressive desire to win battles and 50/50’s is a very good recipe for success.
Seems the ship continues to head in the right direction. |
