Reply | The one that got away?

As already said 4 goals in 31 appearances (mostly from the bench as even Brizzle doesn't rate him a start)
For the same money, we got Burrell, who has made 26 appearances (including some from the bench) and scored 10 goals.
Armstrong will get another few starts toward that goal last night, but I suspect he won't even get 8 goals by the end of the season, so Burrell, for the same money, has already beaten him, and that's if he doesn't play another match this season.
Armstrong and Kelman for Burrell and Kone is great business.
Remember, forwards cost the big bucks! |

Frey, Cook, and Colback were brought in on mega-deal contracts to keep us up.
It worked ... just.
Frey and Colback are gone, and Cook only remains contract-wise as he was clever with his contract.
Edwards has clearly been brought in to replace Cook. The problem is, I am not sure he's fast enough or good enough in the air for the Prem. Which means I am not sure we shall be able to sell him for big money. Champ-wise, he's decent, so it at least helps you avoid relegation.
The rest have been bought as sell-ons, which didn't happen due to injuries. So, they flogged off Field (assuming his loan turns to perm).
Nardi also leaves us with I assume Santos at the end of the season. This should save some monies as well as I assume Walsh and Cooper are on Dev squad wages.
What some people may have forgotten here is that in the summer, we shall still need a new LB. So, that's one player coming in for sure.
My guess is that they will flog Madsen or Varane for £6m or £5m in the summer. These are the only assets that someone would want to buy for the money we can get for them. No one is now paying £2m for Kohli; he's probably unlikely to be sold. The rest have been injured too much, and Kone and Burrell will wait for bigger money. Especially as Burrell's agent bragged he got him a 5-year deal when he signed, which is probably the usual 4+1 on our side. I would assume Kone is the same.
I expect Madsen and Varane to leave in the summer.
And we bring Hayden, Morgan and Vale in more, with a possible star DMC bought from the lower leagues.
Dunne to be renewed for another year, and then it's possible to get away with it in the middle as Edwards can play there, if (sorry when) we get injuries. Morrison will be brought back to replace Cook. |

at 15:21 16 Feb 2026
GK - Walsh, Cooper, New GK
RB - Mbengue, New RB
LB - Larkeche, New LB
CB - Dunne, Edwards, JCS, Morrison
CM - Madsen, Hayden, New CM, New CM (I'm assuming Varane gets sold)
AM - Chair, Poku, Dembele, Smyth, Saito, Kolli, Vale
ST - Kone, Burrell, Obikwa
Dunne would have to be renewed and then he can cover RB for Mbengue if we keep Cook. I suspect if Cook's last performance was a one-off and he is fit for the remainder of the season, then QPR should offer him a 1-year deal on reduced terms. He would be mad not to take that, as then he gets another year in the Champ, and with our record, that's a ton of games. Remember JCS is never fit.
Larkeche could be finished and Esq is no LB. So, we have no LB right now, let alone in the summer. RND's wages are too expensive, so forget him. Varane will probably stay, as no one will meet our asking price.
Somehow, we need to get Zan Celar off the books, too.
An almighty feat. |

Bennie is not a winger, as we saw once again here.
He could play as a striker, as his movement is good and he seems to score when given chances.
But he's not a winger, so there is no point playing him there. Should have played Smyth from the start on the right. I suspect he's blown his chance now anyway and will be the person changed out for the next game.
RND will now possibly be a little less arrogant after getting done like that and concentrate on defending a bit more. Mgbenue is a little lucky that they imploded, as now he can sneak his way back into the team.
Hayden may also be changed out for Morgan, as at least Morgan runs around a lot.
When's Chair, Burrell and the mythical Poku/JCS back?

He has been clever.
Charlton does not have Champ players, so he's gone for the PNE approach, and it's working. We didn't like it, and they marked Madsen and Vale out of the game. This time our wingers did not come to the resecue so that was that.
Luckily, at the other end, a forward line of Dykes and Kelmen is L1 at best, so we did not have that much to worry about. When Coady, who is playing out of position in midfield, has your best chance and misses it, you know your forward line is drek poor. |

For Dembele, I don't think the ref even said it was a foul when it was a clear foul, and I think the Cov player was already on a yellow or should have got one for that foul.
Anyway, let's see Norry brag about how our injury record is no different from anyone else's this season.
Get your shirt printed, at this rate come match day you may be asked to step up.

Its becausee they isolate us in a world of their choosing.
Just like when a Prisoner gets put in isolation, it's a punishment, as everyone knows it does no good to your mental state.
We are prisoners to this, as we do not democratically control it; ownership is not enough; we need to control it democratically. |

Also, before that, one touch from Vale to Madesen to Kone to back of the net.
One-touch football, so for me, that's the goal of the season so far. |

I am quite excited about Obikwu, not because I have seen him play, but if he's injured when we sign him, then he might be quite good as that's the QPR way. |

That goal is class, press gets us the ball, instantly controlled and then played into the middle, one touch from Vale to Madsen, who also does a one-touch cross to Kone, who with one touch scores.
Total Football.
Also, on the winner, if the Cov keeper does not palm it, Bennie scores, so QPR forced that goal as well. When Madsen runs up and down, then we shall always score. |

If he plays the rest of the season and is willing to take a pay cut, then we should offer another 1-year deal.
But remember this blocks Morrison from progressing, so at some point you have to develop the kids. |

As I stated before, his quality is not in question; it's his capacity to get up and down from box to box, all game and every game, that is the problem. Last season he played 8, where it was a massive problem and hence Marti dropped him and results improved.
This season JS did a master manager move and moved him to 6 where he was not required to run back as he's already back in defence. This has meant he can play us out from the back, which allows us to break the press.
Against Cov, he managed to get forward, and with his talent, QPR can beat anyone in the Champ. But against Oxford, Hayden and Madsen both were unable to get up and down the pitch quickly enough, making the worst team in the Champ look difficult to beat, which they are not.
For Madsen to do this, he must run run run tro get up and down the pitch.
If he does that every game, then we shall win those matches for sure with his talent. |

JS should have subbed him off earlier when he had subs at 2-1, moving Dunne to RB and Edwards on for him in the centre.
First yellow was bizarre and not his fault, as the ref was getting his card out before he started talking to him. But once on a Yellow, he should have reigned it in.
The worst part was how we fell apart as soon as he went off.
Really poor that. |

Wrexham won't go up and when they don't then the real gamble happens.
The next shiny thing comes along, as Disney loses interest when the fairytale looks like it will take too long and is too hard.
Now the money has dried up, do they gamble (which they will stupidly do, I believe) and go for it, FFP be damned, or do they actually cut their cloth properly (which risks L1).
Next season will be the real test as Moore will be another year older then. |

at 09:35 23 Jan 2026
No one is paying £2m for Sam Field. We asked Oxford for £1m, and they went out and got a younger player for half that. Also, if I were Field, I would go "no thanks" and stay at QPR, where, with our injury stats, I am always gonna get some game time.
Don't forget, Hayden gets injured sometimes, too, and he's getting older.
But if someone paid £1m for Field, I would take it as for that money we can get a lower league 22-year-old who maybe the next Sam Field, that's how we got him in the first place.
I would also sell Varane for £5m as well.
For me, these are decent players, but they are not key (Field used to be, but we have moved on as a Squad). If we can raise money to help them find the next Eze or Chair, then we should do it. Thats the risk but you have to do it otherwise L1 is our future. |

Oxford nailed their place for relegation from what I saw here. I was impressed they avoided it last season. Not this time.
That's Sheff Wed and Oxford's places sorted, who will be the final relegation team?
I think we can guess it by April.
Jack Currie looked okay for them at LB, I believe hes a QPR fan as well. |
