| Forum Reply | Euros Match Fred at 16:04 19 Jun 2024
Another good game spoiled only by the poor picture quality for this being the Euro finals. Could hardly see the black shirted Albanians in the shady parts of the pitch and that included their 1st goal until they showed it in replay. |

Decent first 30 minutes or so but faded badly once Serbia got going. TAA didn't convince me in that midfield 2 and Foden was poor the whole game. I thought he should have brought Eze on for Foden in the centre of the attacking 3, moved Bellingham back into that midfield 2 from where he can still get forward as he did so well for his goal, and brought on Gordon to play left side of the 3. As others have said we we were weak left side the whole game. Going forward playing Bellingham in that 2 would give Southgate better possibilities to use the attacking midfield options that are the strength in his squad. |

Sounds like Sinclair needs a new agent. Have no evidence for this, but I think many find him an exciting player to watch and would guess that if he's expected to play a part of a game he gets a few more people at games and watching from wherever, to the Clubs benefit as well of course. I'll be delighted if he's with us this next season, but hope he signs a new contract. |

I never saw Colback hide, but he did often direct our midfield and was quite capable of the passing the ball out from defense. He'll need to stay fit and keep his aggression under control for another season. I'd love to see Hayden return but his passing out from the back wasn't so good and I think that was another reason we didn't play out from the back much after he came in. |
| Forum Reply | EDB Signs new contract at 12:13 11 Jun 2024
I think you can add Colback to the midfield players we have now who can play the ball on the ground through the middle of the park in the central 3 of a 4 3 3. In fact he's the best we have there now, perhaps the only one as I'm not convinced EDB is up to it yet at least. I'd include Andersen with Chair, Willock, and Smith as mainly used in a more attacking 3. I reckon Marti abandoned playing through the middle in January after our poor results in and around Christmas/NewYear, loaned out Dozzell, brought in Hayden and a bit later used Dunne at RB essentially abandoning playing out on the ground through a midfield 3 as you say. We'd need to bring in a good ball playing, quick and accurate central midfielder to play alongside the likes of Colback and Field in a central 3 for us to go 4 3 3 again. I see Hayden if we did bring him back as more of a Field type and more suited to the more pragmatic style we used with Dunne at RB. |

Yes, I've always thought that Eze is most effectively used as a 10 with freedom to roam across the width and depth of at least the attacking half, than as a winger based on the side line. |

I think some established regulars like Kane need game time minutes. |

I just read it's an ankle injury on Sky and other places. Nothing about how long he is likely to out other than for the tournament. Clarke saying he's irreplaceable! |
| Forum Reply | Begovic - Best QPR Goalie in Years at 12:43 1 Jun 2024
I thought Begovic was Ok and is under rated by many on here. Walsh looked good in that Coventry game, which isn't enough to judge him on but he looked promising at least. If we cannot afford better perhaps going with Walsh with Begovic mentoring him and as back-up could work, if Begovic is a good Coach and we can't afford to bring in better. |

Maybe "we both" is Nourry and Marti? If I remember right SDM was in the 1st team squad at the start of the season. |

Yes and I guess it's possible Countries that have been "dark market" may not be next season. With Sky pushing out the EFL they may start showing Championship games. It's been a good deal for me because I spend about half my time in Thailand which has been a "dark market", the other half in Norway where they have been showing most of our TV games on the box. |
| Forum Reply | Opening day of the season at 10:44 9 May 2024
QPR+ may continue. It's been a good deal for me to pay the annual subscription, but probably not so good in the future if as it sounds Championship games are played at the same time on Sky. If the Country I'm in has an International agreement to show the games then it won't be shown there live on QPR+, but likely only one game of those played at the same time will be on live TV, which leaves you looking for a working dodgy stream having already paid QPR +, if that game is not the R's. |

I'm still unsure about EDB. I think he gave the ball away the first 3 times he got it in the Coventry game but then did well in advance of Chair's goal, which roughly reflect his earlier performance this season. |

That was a very promising debut. Based on that 1 game, all to little I know, and the bits from Devopment games I've seen of Salamon (sp.?), it looks like we have some good young Keepers at the Club. |
| Forum Reply | Chris Willock at 11:21 5 May 2024
I've read that Willock has only scored 1 goal in 18 months before. According to the Official and other sources he's scored 4 goals this season, 3 games in a row Stoke, Preston and Hull, plus Rotherham, and is credited with 4 assists. |
| Forum Reply | Clarke-Salter at 10:29 5 May 2024
I think all this is dependent on where we are financially / FFP wise for next season, and where we are in the Championship table. We've ended up safe but not by much, so we need to be very careful not to reduce the quality of the squad by for example replacing our better players like JCS, with Fox who is solid but not going to get much quicker at his age, and with FFP well in mind. Astute signings and sales will be needed. I think Armstrong has improved considerably this season myself, both in his hold up play and otherwise, obviously he's got a way to go but he's still a young player. |
| Forum Reply | Transfer rumours 2024 at 10:13 5 May 2024
Agree about Andersen Nix, but dont think it's meaningful to compare goal assists from attacking midfielders like him, Chair and Willock with assists from more defensive midfielders like Dozzell, Hayden, Colback etc. |
