Samba Diakite does the strut — Podcast
Former QPR striker, and current BBC London pundit, Bradley Allen is the studio guest for the first podcast of 2016.
Much to discuss for host Paul Finney, regular Chris Mendes, Rangers fan Ian McCullough and Allen who scored 33 goals in 69 starts and 30 sub appearances for the R's between 1988 and 1996.
Seb Polter's burst of goal scoring form, the job being done by director of football Les Ferdinand, the chances (or otherwise) of the club becoming embroiled in a relegation scrap, and the chronic short termism at Loftus Road are all on the agenda. That, and Samba Diakite's surprise inclusion on the bench for the Hull match.
