If I may make an attempt to answer the question of Colback's high win percentage...
I think he is quite skilful and has a bit of nous. I noticed this early on in the season when we had a corner, and the ball came out to him, and he just pinged it out to the wing first time without having to take the ball down first. It was simple, but a lot of players can't do this. He also scored a couple of goals just by keeping his head over the ball and striking the ball cleanly. When Dozzell scored that goal against Middlesbrough it was Colback who instantaneously laid off the ball to Dozzell to set him up for the shot.
I was a bit more worried by all his yellow cards earlier in the season. Now I suspect he needs one every game to get himself going.
Come all you young fellers so brave and so fine And seek not your fortune way down in the mine It will form as a habit and seep in your soul Til the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal

I wonder if, rather than being a pampered aristocrat of football, he is trying to fulfil his father's dream?
Anyway, these were my thoughts in response to Northernr's analysis of Dozzell in his Millwall preview:
'It seems that the ACL injury Dozzell got at Ipswich completely derailed his career (when Dozzell arrived Phil Ham told you that Ipswich fans had originally expected him to move to a Premier League club). The problem with Dozzell at QPR was there right from the beginning: Warburton had to take him off after 30 minutes when we were getting steamrollered at home by Valerian Ismaël's Barnsley. I agree that it was easy to forget he was on the pitch as he could totally disappear from a game.'
Agree with QPROslo that his goal this season was a moment of brilliance.
I re-watched the Rockford Files about a year ago. I am used to contemporary discussions about America's crumbling infrastructure, but one thing that struck me about the series was how run down Los Angeles looked in the 70s.
