Does the club have the position of team Chaplain? |
A role I always thought Austin would be good at. |  |

Deffo yes from me.
People harp on about his "lack of ability". Like what exactly? If he was a world beater, he wouldn't be at QPR would he? He has more ability (plus everything else he offers on and off the pitch) than most in the team/squad. He was an integral part to our promotion campaign until he got injured, and was an integral part of our Premier league team scoring lots of crucial goals against some of the top teams in the land. Who else has done that for us recently, apart from Austiin and Taarabt, and maybe Helguson? He has more tactical nous than you think. And as an opponent he must be a nightmare to play against. He moves defenders around to make space for others. He harries and pressures defenders into making mistakes. These sort of things are what stops teams from scoring against us and creates goalscoring opportunities for us.
I hope he can stay injury free for the rest of the season, and I hope he gets another contract. We haven't really got anyone like him in the squad - so right now we need Mackie and other players like him. |  | | |

Agree. 7 goals in his first prem season. Better than almost anyone else in our squad managed.
If he can prove his fitness between now and the end of the season he's the kind of player you want at the club. |  |

He's a confidence player. I mean, he's always trying very hard, but sometimes it just doesn't click for him. Remember when he was first signed in 2010? Eight goals in quick succession then nothing for ages.
But I love that drive that he's got. I would hate for him to find responsibility too much of a burden, but I don't think it would be.
I think he's our best prospect for a captain at the moment, save maybe Hall.
I know one thing: you wouldn't have to offer him the job twice. |  |

Personally, and I know it goes against the current thinking amongst some on this board, I think Cousins will end up being captain in a few years and possibly be a modern Rowlands character for us. | |

Brilliant! We need more captaincy candidates. | |
