Thought JCS was going to end up falling down the stairs there! Burrell and Madsen look absolutely fine! |

So sorry to hear your news and my condolences to you and your family. I didn’t know Ted, other than on this board. But his post in here when he told us he was ill will always stick in my mind as he showed so much courage and bravery. RIP. |

Yeah not sure why your post deserved a downvote. Some people are very personal against Nourry for some reason. No one has to like him, but got to give him some credit when it’s due. |

Of the 2 of them, Kolli deserves to be on the pitch instead of Obikwu at the moment. |

Playing the best football of his qpr career. Obviously big credit to him but another big tick for the coaching set up. |

Is this the current list? Mbengue - season Madsen, Burrell, Lamptey - after November international break….but nothing more exact than that So 4 for certain out. Then: Chair - maybe Southampton. Lloyd, JCS (??), Kemper…..assume they would be available. So, 4 up to 8 depending on how you look at it. |

Think he’s just absolutely desperate to get his first goal of the season. Good to have him back. And shows that Stephan was true to his word about giving him a chance. |

Don’t get too low after defeats, too high after……who am I kidding….all aboard HMS Piss the League. If we can’t enjoy days like today, no point in being a football fan! |

Well said Hunter. 100% spot on. I’m actually a bit in shock at that performance. |

We were down to 10 men against West Ham as Lamptey did his ankle. The last 2 seasons we were unfit but I do not see that in the games this season. How are we battering Preston with 10 men in 2nd half if they’re unfit?? There are good reasons for the rotation as I explained. I still like the recruitment this summer. Anyway, we will go round in circles on this. But to be clear, I think injury situation is ridiculous, again. 3rd year in a row. But the squad is not unfit. |

I wasn’t making excuses. I’m just talking about this season. You referred to this season. I say again, there are very good reasons for the rotation this season. I have said many times the injury situation is unacceptable but the point on lack of fitness and rotation is nonsense for this season. We’ve all watched the games, they are a fit bunch. They worked ridiculously hard off the ball vs West Ham. |

Third year on the spin. Agree. The injury situation now. Ridiculous. Fully agree. But all these stats on changes and not being fit is nonsense. With Madsen, Kamara, Lamptey, Cirkin - we were always going to manage their minutes. Especially after last season when we clearly overplayed certain players. Those 4 players are arguably all starters and either had no pre season or injury issues or both. Then Burrell and Chair, after last season, seems pretty reasonable to manage their minutes. Kemper came off because he hadn’t played since first game of the season. So it’s hardly surprising we made a lot of changes. And I for one agreed with all the managing of minutes. As it turns out, it all proved a complete waste of time. I agree the injury situation is terrible. Again. But let’s not go all overboard and start making out the squad isn’t fit or there weren’t very good reasons for squad rotation. |

I do think things have changed but I’m not sure we’ll agree on that. I’d say in Edwards and Burrell we have 2 players that I’m pretty confident will go for a lot of cash. Then players like Madsen, Poku, Cirkin, Lamptey, Kone, Vale all have potential to go for decent money if they continue to improve. But of course, it depends on whether we keep them fit. I completely agree that injury situation is ridiculous. I’ve lost hope and faith that we can keep them fit. And not keeping them fit, impacts league position and amounts we can sell our players for. But I do think things have changed, squad age has done down and we have players on longer contracts. But it’s all meaningless if we can’t keep them fit. |

I wasn’t “trashing” their legacy. A slight overreaction to my post I think. They went for promotion, I wanted promotion. It didn’t work out. We move on. |
 | Forum Reply | Injuries at 10:27 22 Oct 2026
My point was that we did spend money before. We have also got the age of the squad down. I do agree that it’s too early to judge the recruitment yet. We need to see how much we can get in. I do think we are doing things differently but that doesn’t change the fact that the injuries are a complete mess again |

I love Les as a player and think Warburton was our best manager since Warnock. But look where those “pushes” to get into the playoffs got us? So what if we finished 11th one season if we ended up close to breathing FFP again and with the squad that Gareth had to deal with in that 23-24 season. You are right in that Nourry, Warburton, Les and Stephan are all equally ambitious. The difference is that now we are trying to buy younger and sell for profit, at the same time as trying to improve the first team position in the league. Before we got likes Austin, Johansen….focus on quality now, money on wages not transfer fees. Let’s not kid ourselves that we didn’t spend money before, we spent it on wages not transfer fees.
