Washington?? 14:53 - Apr 20 with 4565 viewsQPRDave

Have we paid about £2mill too much for him?

Getting a bit fed up with him now, it's time we promoted him to chief goat

Like a lot of people, I've seen precious little of him.

Do think he'd benefit from a run of games but out of interest, what is his best/preferred position - up front, in the hole, wide or super sub?

looking at him, i think there is no way we signed him thinking he coould play on his own up front...nothing about him suits that style of play. Based on that, I'm presuming/hoping over summer, JFH gets in the player he wants so we can play 442 with him involved.

Stella Creasy is only on your radar because she was threatened with rape. If that pisses you off then I don't really know what to say to you.

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

After half a season? No, I expected him to struggle making the step up initially, as he has done everywhere he's been, then kick on in his second year. 3 months is too short a time to judge most players, but especially those making a step up.

two of norn irons games were on bbc2 which I managed to catch.

First game he got one half and he played well.

2nd game he got a lot more time and he looked excellent.

From the limited game time he has had I think he will come good and score goals for us..after first one goes in he will get his confidence, clearly needs a partner up top.give the bloke a chance remember Charlie took a while to get going and he was prolific after that.

Rhodes cost 5 times that and was as close to a sure thing as you can get in this league, still struggled initially with the move to Boro and wasn't starting until very recently.

Give him time, he not only came to QPR late, he came to professional football late and what he lacks in technical polish he is currently making up for in work rate and persistence. Everywhere he’s gone before it’s been the same pattern - slow starter who takes time and the right management to get going before going on good scoring streaks. If you’ve watched him play so far you’d agree he’s looked bright and determined and it’s only a matter of time before he finds scoring form and starts to trouble JFH for a start. The club made a point of saying that he’ll need time and support as he’s not the finished article, so let’s at least give him that before starting contrary posts like this.

yeah strikers don't need time to settle in at club look at Charlie's record at Southampton a whopping 1 goal in 11 on a 100k a week and injured. give the lad time he will come good for QPR next season

There clearly is a player within Conor Washington....

He was doing it for Peterboro and if anyone saw him play in his 2nd cap for Northern Ireland he was far and away the best player on the pitch.
His movement, shooting and then his finish proved that he had the confidence.
N.I were only playing one up top..... and it wasn't him.
Conor started on the left but had licence to swap in and out of position with Jamie Ward.
Caused the opposition no end of problems that night and could have had a hattrick were it not for the keeper.

I havent seen too much of him in QPR colours yet, but it seems like they are playing him up top, on his own with no support.
Play him as an attacking 3 behind Polter and I think we will see the best of him.
I really hope we don't just discard him and give him a decent chance going into next season.
I would start playing him against the lesser teams..... Not Brighton away! To get his confidence up a little

Judge him by what he does next season given a series of proper games

Amen brother.

This might take the fun out of being a QPR fan for some though.

Just out of curiosity what were you expecting for £2.5 mill? And who would you have him playing instead of?

As for the goals, the bloke has played 11 matches, 8 of which were as a sub. Of those 8 he played the equivalent of a game and a half. And in all he's played the equivalent of less than 4.5 games. Hardly the longest barren run in striking history.

Nothing I've seen so far suggests that JFH is going to play 442

I mistakenly clicked the up rather than the down arrow, fool that I am.

Give Washington a chance before writing him off!

What do I expect for two and half mill?......

I expect a footballer who can pass, head, shoot with both feet, be physically fit as a butchers, and tbh be able to play a role assigned to him that's not an alien position on the whole.
I E to be able to play as a lone striker. If he can't why was he bought?
I see posters saying he needs a partner, well bearing in mind the season died along time since, why aren't we playing him with Polter?
That's why I'm asking have we paid too much
