Doherty Departs
With all the new arrivals this week, some departures were inevitable and midfielder Tommy Doherty is the first - joining League Two side Wycombe on a permanent basis
Doherty has more or less become a forgotten man at Loftus Road since Ian Holloway signed the fiery midfielder in the summer of 2005. He has made just 15 appearances in total for the R's and it was obvious he wasn't in the plans of Gary Waddock, John Gregory and now, Luigi De Canio, although he did feature in pre season during Waddock's short reign.
After several loan spells with Wycombe Wanderers, 'Doc' has finally made his stay at the Causeway stadium a permanent one, signing a two and a half year deal. This following his contract at QPR being terminated this morning by mutual consent.
We wish him well...

The Coventry Conference – ReportCoventry away, for so long a fixture that loomed almost as large as the spectre of Eoin Jess over Queens Park Rangers, turned into an eighth away win of the campaign and survival party for a manager and support base who both really stepped up when it mattered in 23/24.
