Poku - I know, I know.... I am a boring "told you so" vvanker but..... my wager that he won't make double figures for 90 minute appearances this season is safe. My feelings that he won't make 50 of those across his four year Contract look right as well.
Another crock - avoid trading with Posh!!! The people that oversee transfers there are far, far, far more canny than the gimps we have overseeing ours.
Burrell - that is a concern and a hamstring tear for a pace machine like him needs to be handled extremely carefully with spot on rehab. I'm sure we can all have faith in our army of fitness and performance managers. Fcuk it.
JCS - can we pay him off? Lifetime membership to a spa facility with a great physio department should do it. Total waste of a wage. |

RIP to Mr Southern Comfort
One of those fans that even if you didn’t know him (I didn’t really apart from the odd LSA coach in the past) then you still knew him as he was always there.

Please let it 'appen.
By "for nuffink" I assume he means no wage but a huge bonus if he keeps 'em up and around £1Mill into Rosie's old account as severance once he leaves in May.
The current Board there are aware of historical whiffs and are savvy (tight b'stards).
I'd be amazed if they considered him for a nano second |

Mbenge and Ferrari in same sentence not something I ever thought I'd see!!
I'm very much warming to him as a RB -- he really was a dive in liability in the middle of the park though.
Back on thread though - consensus seems to be we only need "cover".
I'd disagree.
We need more reliability and quality in key areas.
Goalkeeper - nuff said.
CB - if the Saffer isn't deemed as one to step up then welcome to the party Ronnie Edwards (you gorgeous b'stard) - JCS simply ccannot be relied on and Cookie is sadly showing creaks and cracks and will be gone in May. Add now for the future is what I say.
FULL BACKS - I'd say Mad Ben and Jimmy (with Morgan) covers RB adequately.... Ronnie also okay there IF we get him. The LB spot much more of a concern. RND is a real steady eddie but not robust enough in terms of reliability for 3 game weeks etc - probably on big wages as well. Esky I'm not impressed with and I don't feel he has the right attitude at all but that is based on very little. This is a position we need two players for, one to drop straight in and one to be a supporting cast member. It's odd as my understanding was Vale was signed with an eye on this position but appears not.
CM - if Chair not the answer in there then we need another progressive player. I was hoping Alfie Tuck would have a spurt season and develop well somewhere as I liked what I saw of him; doesn't seem to be happening.
I'm sort of writing off Harvey Vale as been unimpressed myself.
This Castledine chap seems to tick boxes from what I've read and I didn't realise he's on loan at Hudds - depends on a deal to be done as with any player I suppose.
Striker - this is the most interesting for me and all depends on offloading Frey and/or Celar. As I've said elsewhere I'd wish Frey all the best and Celar I'd want shot of soon as and look to erase the total waste of money from the memory banks soon as.
If Burrell injury is short term then look to add just the one player here but ideally two if both the aformentioned go. Who? How? No idea... over to the Head of Performative Acts for that.
It's the toughest position to fill and sadly yet again we don't seem to have a young prospect coming through unless Bennie can step up.
All the above could/should be spread over two windows.
Anyone we add on loan this season should be with something in place with an iption to buy and I stress option not obligation.
The other real shame is that I cannot see us shifting anyone for a profit which is an abject failure of those in the seat overseeing these things at the moment.
Edit - forgot the full back spots!!! [Post edited 7 Jan 14:56]

This my view as well.
They will go strong as they need a win to get things going.
That aside, even with half a dozen rested they have some great players on the edges such as Potts who was very good on loan at Pompey last season, the fella with dreads who came on last night looks a player, they have a young N.I. international striker, etc, etc.
I do think we'll get filled in but it's the nature of it that will be key for me.
Lose with 100% effort and I'll not be too botherd - start waving the French alternative national flag with team selection and a going through the motions approach and R's fans will be rightly livid.
IF they keep Nuno (which I think they will) and this game doesn't go well for them then I would expect plenty of empty seats and demonstrations from the not so 'appy 'ammers.
They need seven wins and four draws minimum to stay up over the remaining 18 games to have a chance of staying up. That is a proper tough ask but still do'able but the key thing needed is confidence and momentum - where better to start than a lumpy cup win I suppose?! |

Think I mentioned this before.......
Chatting with a West Ham mate at work ahead of "the magic of the FA Cup" and he said QPR are being linked with an U21 player there called Mo Kante - a French lad and box to box midfielder.
Sure this was noted over the summer.
Know nothing else apart from Mori Kante was a house classic |

Usually the case that parent club needs to allow permission for any cup appearance for the club on loan at.
Granted this isn't usually an issue that surfaces here.........  |

Unfortunately I think we'll be seeing Sam at Left Back on Sunday -- I cannot see RND being allowed to play by Chef Utd.
Fair play to him doing a job there but it's not one I find him suited to and if Bowen starts or comes on at anytime then grab those rosary beads and pray. (Not that I think RND or Esky would be the answer either).
I'm hopeful that Sam will retun to "first name on the teamsheet" standing back nine of the season. He really has been Mr Reliable for huge parts of his time with us and I thought he was future Captain material in days gone by. |

That grudge….. it’s not petty, it’s right.
I’ll never forgive or forget that glorious day at Hillsborough and some of the things that went on.
Fcuk em.
Great report and very interesting on Dumbele there as something I didn’t see on the stream in respect petulance and Captain Dunne being a captain.
He hides for huge periods of games quite well so no idea why he can’t hide his upset.
Not a player I’m ever going to take to I think, shame as watching him in his debut versus Plymouth from my seat in Ellerslie my thoughts were “we’ve got one here”. We do but not what we were all hoping for.
Poku - repeating myself again here. I said ages ago I’d be shocked if he made double figures for 90 minute appearances for us this season. I’m not expecting to be shocked.
If he’s signed a four year deal then I’d be amazed if we get 50 full games out of him across that Contract.
He’s a crock but a crock with flashes of skill and ability.
Page one of our transfer policy should read “Do Not Sign Players from Peterborough or Manchester United”……… Darragh has done us up. Again.
Agree with your comments on star man.
Jimmy deserves it but you gotta give it to the boy Kolli. Love it |

I actually prefer the second goal
Lovely to see a young lad in Morgan do some hard yards and show vision to place the header into Rayan’s path. Then, a clinical finish from a tightening angle where Rayan had to pick his spot and drive it firmly past the advancing and spreading himself goalkeeper.
Think I’m into my third year saying this lad will be a player.
IF he has been injured then that’s a real shame and something that needs to be worked on - I do think his physique could do with some work but glad he’s not being artificially forced at his age.
IF there’s personality clash issues off the field then this is something that needs to be worked on - suck it up on “both sides”; everyone needs to focus on what’s good for Kolli’s career as that’s good for everyone.
Congrats to Rayan and all involved |

I wish he’d untie that JCB tyre he seems to always drag around the pitch with him.
Doesn’t do enough for me.
I hear he’s 22 years old.
And I also hear Kanu is still only 49 years old.
If Burrell is out for a few games (hope not and sub was a precaution) then Kone needs to step it right up and make himself the main man. |

Fantastic piece
I’ve been sick of all the “LOL’z” and “typical QPR” shit for years.
(With the “if there wasn’t something wrong with him he wouldn’t be here” line I hear people trott out a particular pet hate)
Really hope for the sake of yourself and our hard working fans that the It’s Not Acceptable Club are placed on a sabbatical Sunday brunch time.

Series 3 of Blue Lights - brilliant
Wish I’d rewatched first two series before dived into this but they’re coming back to me.
Very good TV and very, very realistic drama
