He will probably do as well as previous managers and Chelsea will move him onwards in a year or so.
For me, seems a risky appointment by them and not their usual type appointment.
Chelsea,these days to me, its irrelevant.
They are a club, we won't ever be competing with again, anytime soon and they are up and down and just about clinging on to being a big club in terms of performances but not in the top three or four.
We certainly have no rivalry with them for many years due to finances, so as said they are an irrelevance to us.
Even if he performs well, he will inevitably be sacked.
The madness of football today !! |

Great shame re Burrell, particularly as I would have hoped he could have had a run out against West Ham in the cup, but sadly inevitable in the end, regards him picking up an injury. Where was our sports science and protecting a player at being overplayed here. The advice of our performance Director, Ben Williams seems to have been bypassed regards Rumarn, simply because he was too important a player for us, in games.
Certainly was overplayed.
As you say Brian regards the not playing of Kolli, whether he was injured throughout or not selected for alternative reasons, we won't be told. Clubs can be very economical with the truth on such occasions and I guess can understand that in certain circumstances as you intimate also.
I know a few on here, who have considered themselves in the know, alleged they had first hand knowledge of a disagreement between Kolli and Ben Williams in the club canteen, where Kolli argued with Williams, where Williams was reported by some on here to say, whilst I am here, you won't get an opportunity to play here.
Now, whether this was allegations not backed up by fact, or indeed was true, in reality such an incident should have zero bearing on whether a player is selected or not, but there was a few on here, that were very vociferous about this, and said it was the reality of the situation.
Whether this happened or not, I can't believe at all, that this had any bearing on Kolli's non selection. If it did, then we are very amateurish in our running of our club. Any workplace, employees clash inevitably on occasions, and its then up to the management and others to all work together to minimise such impacts and resolve it as best as it can be, so that all colleagues perform as best they can, and a few words in the heat of the moment, can be forgotten about, everyone shakes hands and people move on.
Although, its clear, there must be some reason Rayan was not selected over Frey in recent times, but its unlikely we will ever know.
Anyhow, am glad he got on the pitch and pleased for him, he took his chances.
Let's all see how this all pans out. [Post edited 6 Jan 10:43]

He is another trier.
Am not sure myself whether centre defensive midfield will be where he ends up. Could be in a more advanced position.
There is definitely a space up for grabs in this team and the very fact he has applied himself as best he can, wherever he has been instructed to play.
Am hopeful Harvey Vale will also develop similarly to Morgan. And again, where he could be used is also very variable. |

It does amuse me that several fans are saying, Rayan played poorly apart from the two absolutely stunning goals he scored !!!!
Please keep playing totally Cr*p Master Kolli !!!!
Only on a QPR fans forum. We truly are bonkers fans...

Glad he has had his opportunity and couldn't give a flying fig if he plays badly but scores two half chances every game. Last time I looked the only stat that is important is goals scored against goals conceded.
He contributed in defence and had two moments of magic and the very fact he had two or three other opportunities which he messed up, but its a positive, he was in the right place to have those other opportunities also.
Some here are suggesting overall he was very poor.
Give us that level of mediocrity every game Rayan and well that certainly is OK by me. Makes the selection of Frey ahead of him, hard to understand and suggests perhaps all was not quite right behind the scenes.....
But for me, glad for him. Shame for Rumarn as away at West Ham is a shop window opportunity. [Post edited 4 Jan 16:45]

i dont use the ignore button myself and try my best not to rise to the bait. Getting better at that as get older, but when i have, have got myself all tangled up.
Anyhow, people only change if they want to, or feel they need to.
Regards Smythie, probably on the bench today for me, but if he gets on or is playing, hope he gets an extra cheer from all of us. He has been here a long time and will be continuing for a little while longer and good on him. A very likeable player for me and if he was at my workplace, sort of bloke, i would like as a mate too.
Definitely a great squad member, rarely injured and always gives it 100%.. [Post edited 4 Jan 9:41]

The guy is a genius as far as darts goes.
Was thinking Taylor won around 18 world titles and played till he was around mid 50s. At this rate, Littler could play 35 more times minimum and could win most years. Maybe life will get in the way and he will get married, have kids and get a full time job.
Only joking !!!
Pretty decent being a multi millionaire by the age of 18 and for playing darts too. He is a big boy though and cant say my appearance or any of my mates at his age, we all still looked like young boys...
Well played Luke the Nuke [Post edited 3 Jan 23:35]

The Reading Waterloo line is another 25 minutes extra but diverted to weird and wonderful locations.
Will be there, because at times i live up to my username, but the rail app says delays, diversions and rail replacement services affected and in use far and wide !! |

I will front up for this one, as feel this is a must win game. Finally, I hope this is one game too far for Mr Bannan against ourselves.
But bloomin 'eck, a midday kick off.
And for the Sheffield fans to get there. One of these days, we will all have to get to the ground immediately after our full english breakfast. Its hard to get into a game so early in the day and think actually it generally shows similar for all players also.
Despite that, I do believe we will win comfortably, three nil, perhaps. But if its a loss, the natives will certainly be getting restless and a happy new year, it won't be.
So for me, a three nil win - Burrell with two and Cook with the other !!!
Don't want to consider any other possible outcomes !!
C'mon you Rrr's....

The lino version of that.
Its usually the young ones that are doing the naughty teenage boy thing..Still not good but you could put it down to young boys wanting to appear big or finding it funny.
Regards calling a linesmen that in a game, for me, i personally think that would put the linos back up and any 50/ 50 situations likely to go in favour of the oppostion, as a consequence. |

Reply | Have we signed the same player four times in the last year?
at 17:57 2 Jan 2026
Poku is 5 foot 11.
Thought it was a positive, we signed him as it could have been Mr Yang as our extra wing signing and Poku has had very limited time and from what i have seen so far, he shows promise.
Lets not demolish players without giving them any kind of chance to build up their form. |

Reply | Is anyone else feeling a bit depressed this evening?
at 17:51 2 Jan 2026
Not depressed as half expected this outcome.
Fwiw, I think we will now win comfortably against Sheff Weds.
Its QPR, so like most on here, have had a lifetime of disappointments or after the lord mayors show affairs, so have understood how to deal with it.I immediately attempt to eradicate it from the memory banks. So much practice.
Its annoying though, no doubt. This squad of players definitely has quality, so thats why poor performances or poor run of results impact.
We all know we are way better than that. |

Being mentally unwell does not correlate with individuals that would definitely do such a thing.
In my experience, as having suffered poor mental health myself and working in support roles helping people who are mentally suffering, would say the cases where people start being nasty, vicious and horrifically manipulative like this, are extremely rare. Perhaps, only a small percentage more than a person who does not suffer their own mental torment.
Its why mental illness is still much misinterpreted and treated by those without insight and empathy as to how people suffer with diagnosed conditions.
The person that has done this to Smythie and to you to Clive, also. There is no other word for it, they are evil, without morals and a criminal. But absolutely not, would the great majority who suffer with their mental health do this in anyways much like the rest of society, as a whole.
Hope the individuals concerned get locked up, to consider about the impact of their awful actions and words. Clearly they have enough insight to consider that they can get away with this and subsequently enjoy their notoriety.
But its not right or helpful to call out this person as mentally ill as a given.That kind of belief sets back anti mental health stigma campaigns about more understanding mental ill health, by a couple of decades or so.
Hope the perpetrator gets their come tuppence as soon as. The police are particularly poor at cracking down on these incidents, but in reality this is a police matter and if there were deterrents people would not do it. [Post edited 2 Jan 16:19]
