Charles's gambit
at 12:55 15 Oct 2026

2nd half it looked to me like Derby were targeting Boy Kemper for a bit of rough treatment. Quite surprised they were targeting him.

Charles's gambit
at 08:58 15 Oct 2026

What did people think of the near on minute that Charles put his foot on the ball outside the box inviting Derby on.

I've never seen anything like it - I thought the ref was going to blow for a re-start

I thought he should have gone long because we didn't really gain anything from when he finally played across to Jimmy at right centre back

I think he's always had it in his game but it hasn't been brought to the fore. He needs to be allowed to pick the ball up and run - even if he does lose it now again or shank the final product. We need to play to his strengths - hasn't always happened

I thought we were good. Yes, we misplaced some passes and the decision making and timing were not always spot on but what I liked was how as a team we sought to control the game in both halves with all departments combining well and from Charles in goal to Kolli up front you could see that they had worked on all aspects of the game on the training ground.

The Starting XI v Derby I think JS will select
at 12:53 13 Oct 2026

Not sure Adamson is going to be fit. Looked like he pulled something on Friday. Unless it was cramp.

Would definitely keep Poku, Smyth and Kolli up there - Kone, Vale and the other subs really took us backwards on Friday.

I'd prefer to see Saito and Lloyd coming on for 2 of the aforementioned.

Between Dunne, JCS, Ronnie, Madsen, Kamara we are OK at CB and CM, especially if Morrison and Varane are also on the bench.

I'd have thought so, yes. First game back for 2 months - plus prob need him fresh on Wednesday.

Great point. But why were the subs so off the pace ? All of them were really shoddy.

It was a pen. The camera angle from behind (the same as the ref's view) shows him not touching the ball and taking Smyth out.

I wouldn't be overly worried about it. They are regularly putting in schoolboys for their debuts. The objective is in the name, 'Development' team/squad.

I wonder if Ilemayehu will get some minutes on Friday. He will have been training with the squad for the last two weeks and should be fresh

QPR Loan Watch 2026-27
at 16:02 3 Oct 2026

Not a loan question but I've just gone on to the BBC to see if Morgan or Sanyaolu are playing for Bradford or Bristol Rovers today (to which the answer is 'no') and in the line-ups the Bradford manager is Graham Alexander and the Bristol Rovers manager is Paul Raynor.

I thought Alexander had gone to Preston and the Bristol Rovers boss was Steve Evans.

Have there been a couple of U-turns ?

Or is it just the BBC being lazy/shite ?

I'm with you. Handled the right way there is a hell of a player in there. On a level with other U21 players who have come through in recent years in terms of technical ability - no shadow of a doubt. Bring him on !!!

I think you can have small players out wide which is where he plays. You only need 4 tall players if you do zonal marking at corners. Two tall CB's, a CDM and a CF and Mbengue and Kemper at full backs and you should be able to cope with any aerial threat.

I'm more intrigued with the Israeli plane story. That must have been terrifying. I wonder how the pilot explained it because they always do their best as possible to sound as relaxed as possible in the event of any mishaps.

Best three other sports you follow and enjoy

Don't really watch any sport other than QPR. I have most admiration for the top tennis players but I don't really watch it when it's on. Any free time I have is taken up running my Sunday morning football team, reading and learning salsa dancing.

70up Documentary
at 19:20 23 Sep 2026

Yes, I have followed it over the years. The first one I saw 'live' was 13 Up because I was 0 years of age when the first one was broadcast in 1964. I mentioned it in the 'Half Decent TV' thread as I imagine there are several people on here whose lives have run parallel to the series.

Yes, it was an intriguing series and I think it both reinforced and dispelled some of those myths that you allure to - probably reinforcing gender and class divisions more than dispelling them - though I think fulfilling oneself personally transcends any status derived from class or gender and in that respect it was interesting because the two boys who had had no silver spoons as children went on to have fulfilling personal family lives.

I actually thought the conclusion last night was really poorly put together. It was totally jumbled up, the questions were just re-hashes of previous questions, there was the tribute to the previous director who we had never met and the replacement director missed the opportunity to ask the participants several questions about their lives as human beings.

Anyone see the final instalment of 7 Up last night ? I imagine there are quite a few on here that have lived their lives through the same period (1964 to present). I've lived through it but last night was so bad. They could have asked so many more interesting questions about the world we live in and how the participants had been as humans. I can't believe how it lost its way so much.

There's still quite a bit of flair through our team - explains why Kamara gets in ahead of Varane, Saito ahead of Smyth and you've got the likes of Edwards who can turn it on. Plus if we are developing players like Scarlett then it's still part of the (or our) modus operandi.
