Following Mel's stab at an ultimate QPR team last week, he's back with a nightmare selection this week. Three of them at least have no business being in there IMO so I'm sure you'll all have fun with this....

I thought Henry, Plummer and Borrowdale were harsh. I've long since stopped arguing with Mel over Henry though.
Rehman and Ready far, far worse than Plummer for me.
Not bad!
I can't actually remember any of Borrowdale's performances, so he can't have been hopelessly bad. I'm sure Rehman was worse. Plummer was at QPR for nine years!
Controversially, I don't think Ready was as bad as is popularly reckoned. It's just that he made so many appearances his solid mediocrity gave the perception of increasing shiteness. Don't forget we were in the top division for most of the time he was with us.

Agree about Ready. I was tempted to throw him in to my team until a friend said he won POTY one year. That has to end that.

In his defence I think he scored 18 goals for us and we never lost a game he scored in.
A remarkable stat. Surely because any team putting in a performance poor enough to allow Ready to score was never likely to win the game. But we've had at least two worse central defenders for sure.

Not sure why you hate Tony Roberts so much: he was ok for us over a decent period I thought. Would certainly rate him higher than the likes of Lumley, Dykstra, Barron etc.
Roberts was bloody awful, only Derek Richardson comes close in terms of the worst keepers I’ve seen down there.
Mel's rules on loan players. Bob Malcolm would be a very strong contender for me. And Big Fat Bob Taylor - one of those cnts who was brilliant for several other clubs but absolutely awful for us.

Tony Roberts is my goalie from hell. One on one he was pretty good but anything from distance used to go straight through him, he appeared to have a big hole between his knees and chest.
Special mention to Brian Williams, often if not always a sub. I remember him warming up and a fellow supported pointed out that "He warms up like a lunatic, no wonder he is fecking knackered when he gets on"

Yeh Roberts did my nut as a kid. Never understood how he got picked over Stejskal. Went through a period straight after relegation of dropping 30 yard free kicks in his net - I think the first Barnsley goal in the Trevor Sinclair game is a free kick that he lets go through his legs. Boxing Day that season at home to Norwich he caught one on his should then fumbled it back and into the net.
That and his insistance on taking all the fcking time in the world over back passes which eventually resulted in him belting one in off Paul Walsh's ars.

Trying to figure out Northern's three who shouldn't be in.
Henry, definitely.
Then it gets more difficult, but the next is Plummer I think, and then either Scully or Borrowdale.
Edit: No, the third is Richardson, I reckon he'd have Roberts in goal.

Agreed, harsh on Henry. What about George Kulcsar? Would like to include Barton, but I'm trying to do this based on ability rather levels of being a d1ck.
Would definitely have Morrow or Rehman in for Plummer. We had some bad defenders late 90s/early 00s but I don't think of Plummer being that bad relatively.
Borrowdale was bad, for me Christer Warren was even more awful.

Just checked the stats on qprnet.com and this is how it panned out in Stejskal's four seasons at the club (league games only):
1990-91 Stejskal 26 Coco The Clown - 16
1991-92 JS - 41 CTC - 1
1992-93 JS - 14 CTC - 28
1993-94 JS - 26 CTC - 16
Totals - Stejskal 107, Coco 57. 65% against 35%
I was genuinely shocked about the 92-93 figures, I had no idea Stejskal played so little that season. I know he had a complete shocker in the home game against Palace just before Christmas and remember him being dropped afterwards but was amazed that that was his last appearance that season.

Particularly when Roberts was no better - absolute horror away at Ipswich from the best part of 40 yards.

I'm amazed at that 92-93 stat, would love to know the win %s for each keeper.

I can't believe we had eleven more feckless players than the pissed up bollard that was Bob Malcolm.
The worst of the worst. Made Vinnie Jones look like a cross between Einstein and Mother Teresa. An utter disgrace of a supposed football player and a thoroughly reprehensible neanderthal.
