Historically, has the goalkeeping position arguably been the one in which QPR have been the strongest? We've had some really good keepers over the years; in no particular order of merit/appearance,
Parkes
Hucker
Woods
Burridge
Seaman
Barron
Stejskal
Camp
Kenny
Miklosko
Smithies
And Green, I suppose, who played (not very well) for England.
Mind you, I guess you'd also have to factor in Roberts, Lumley, and Ikeme (who Wolves rated so highly they loaned him to EIGHT different clubs, and whose clownish part in that hammering at Leicester under early Warnock still turns my stomach). | |

I think you've got Miklosko, Burridge and Barron in the wrong list there. They were useless. | | | |

But the stats are adjusted for that and he was 3rd worst in the league. Based on the shots our opponents managed to get in with an average goalkeeper we should have conceded 7 less goals.
Conversely Dykes's stats are average, he's marginally under the number of goals he's scored for the amount of goals expected from the shots he's had. We still want/need better and he's average, why should Begovic even be entertained as being adequate or even worse for a new contract. [Post edited 18 May 2024 10:30]

Barron was poor although he did save a penalty at Anfield in The Milk Cup semi final to help give us one of the best away nights ever and Green did have his moment in the sun at Wembley. | | | |

Never understood how Smith preferred Barron over Hucker. Baffling. | | | |

C’mon be honest with yourself: you think they were ALL useless due to your inability to see or understand what a goalkeeper does. | | | |

Yes Terry but as I've stated elsewhere, Woods when he came to us was a young kid, younger than Walsh is now and his only first team appearances for Forest had been the League Cup games he played for the cup tied Shilton in 77/78, although some very big games there including the final and the final replay.
When he came to us in '79 he was basically learning on the job. He had though a European Cup winners medal in his pocket when he came to us as his last game for Forest was the 1979 European Cup Final where he was on the bench.
I never rated him when he played for England but you don't have the long club career he went on to have if you can't play a bit. [Post edited 20 May 2024 10:57]

Might be in a minority of one here - but Budgie useless? Tad harsh IMHO. I remember a good pro, a character and a brave shotstopper under Venables. Maybe rose-tinted from my long-lost youth... | | | |

I know he had a very good career, but I was only commenting on his time at Rangers & IMO he cost us promotion that season.
I'm also very suspicious of any player that only spent one season at a club managed by Docherty! This is based on what I was told by a player that he tried to sign for Manchester United.
Not that I know that Woods have been given the same incentives! | | | |

You can debate without being rude and tiresome, you know.
In my opinion, having stood / sat and watched them play for the hoops many times, they were rubbish for us.
Obviously you beg to differ, that's fine. | | | |

If you want to remember a useless goalkeeper remember Generosso Rossi? I mean, he only played 3 games at the end of a season but I'm sure he never dived once for anything, just watched the ball fly around him and hoped for the best. | | | |

Generous is not an auspicious name for a keeper. | | | |

The club is currently advertising for a Head of Goalkeeping position, reporting directly to Marti and Nourry. Change is afoot. | | | |

It’s tiresome when someone slags off goalkeepers incessantly, mainly Begovic. | | | |

We need to raise our standards - he was a terrible signing on almost every metric | |
