Paul Smyth - A shout out for Smythie !!!
at 17:43 23 Sep 2024

Think he's definitely best deployed as a super sub - in either game script - and he's had really great contributions over the last year or so. The small issue is that he's our only natural right winger other than Dembele, who is so much better in the 10 based on the current setup, but not quite consistently good enough to start...

We really need someone like Andersen or Santos to cement that wide right position and allow us to switch Chair/Dembele/Saito/Madsen among the 10 and LW parts, otherwise I'm not far off having Smyth start just to accomodate Dem10...

First NFL Game
at 15:52 23 Sep 2024

I hope they liven up a bit before they get to London!

That said - and speaking as someone that absolutely loves NFL - the whole NFL atm I'm finding a little... meh... There's always great stuff amongst the games on a weekly basis, but the defence-heavy, low scoring, check down way the game is right now is a little less enjoyable for the neutral.

The great thing about the NFL of course is that it's cyclical, and when offences figure out how to counter what's working for the defence, things will flip again, but based on the first 3 weeks this current iteration is a little hard going for moi

Using the schedule / Hull game as an excuse for non-attendance when you set the agenda is bordering on condescension. So the powers that be at QPR sent a calendar invite and Marti has declined because he's already got something in the diary??

Like I said in the pod, I'm not saying it should be Wikileaks and we open the books to anybody that wants to know Kenneth Paals tax bill, but similarly it doesn't have to be North Korea either. Treating fans like idiots is completely counter productive in the short term and if/when things go badly, will become much more than a niggling issue.

Be inclusive of the fanbase, because we deserve it, and because you'll need us.

Can't say I'm a huge fan of Dave Mc on Twitter and feel he can be a little unnecessary with his opinions - but up until very recently he was the only reliable source of information you could trust on QPR online. There wasn't sensationalism or repeating of other published 'news' as content, and his was usually the only site that had articles with genuine quotes.

Even recently it was discussing transfers and fees that were miles from the initial guess work of the rest of this version of media. It's a shame to lose such a valuable resource, and even more so at a time when the Linked In Child King is purposely limiting communication and information to the fans.

Genius Eze inevitably wraps return narrative – Report

Great write up and good to thoroughly acknowledge both sides. Like most of us I can see the value in each, but would prefer a cup run over pretty much anything else.... We also showed that with a bit more effort and application, we might have won anyway.

I'm also finding this game as a stick to beat Celar with quite hilarious. Is this his first ever 90mins? He's on single figures for appearances in a new league/country, and we're using this as evidence because he didn't get much change out of - checks notes - Marc fcking Guehi... Ok cool.

Frey’s big start, Madsen’s quiet wins, Field’s conundrum - Column
at 02:08 12 Sep 2024

Sam Field is out best player without the ball and one of our worst with it, that's the conundrum, and given the position he plays, both the plus and weaknesses are amplified.

Personally I appreciate the good he does and think we almost take for granted the amount of involvement he has, and despite his limitations, he always shows for the ball and will come and get it. I'd like to think that more balance and less reliance on him as a progressor will allow him to do his best work and give a platform for others. There's also going to be games - especially away from home - where he will be massive for our chances of getting a result.... He's still in my first 11 every week.

I also like Ken Paal. Thanks for the write up, loved it!

Another reason it would be helpful to know if we at least have an option on our side to make Saito permenent, so as not to create this kind of conjecture around priritising a loan player. I'm still not 100% Dembele is def ours, which would be painful based on how he's started

Palace cup tickets
at 15:58 5 Sep 2024

Just to follow up, got a call from Gavin at the BO and he said it's a ticketmaster issue and to call directly to book your ST seat for the game. Any ST holders have until 5pm Friday.

The number was 02087402613 - I just did it and got through in a couple of mins.

He also said if you subscribe to the auto cup feature it'll book your seat for every cup game regardless and if you can't make it they'll just process a refund. Given their system I'm not sure I trust that 100% - but it's an option for those that want to avoid this issue for the next round

It's reserved my ST seat for the game, but refuses to let me pay for it.

I've never known a business/organisation that makes it so difficult to take my money.

I might owe Hunter an apology when he told me Frey will get 10 goals this season and I made a Marge Simpson grumbly noise... He's come back a new man so far.

QPR bolster midfield with Varane capture – Signing
at 13:40 5 Aug 2024

Of course, but he's clearly been brought in to be our first choice striker and main goal scorer - Varane will almost certainly start in 3 midfield set ups, but Morrison, Santos, Bennie Dundee, etc are more for depth/rotation/future, it seems to me.

I'd like to see us add one more player to the 'start now' group, preferably an attacker/winger, even if that means a loan

Whilst this could be a decent, if not perfect answer to the kind of CM profile were lacking right now, this is still a great example of future planning. We might get 1 more year out of Colback, and Field could easily be picked up next summer if he has another solid season, so a 22 year old high ceiling lad will have a year to acclimatise and learn/develop to be the next man up, whilst hopefully adding something different.

Celar aside, we seem to have made signings this year with exactly that in mind. Good enough for depth and to start without being replied upon, but with an eye on replacing current starters and being the pillars of the squad the next few years.

If we're not getting 10m plus for chair there's just no point selling this summer, the guy is our entire attack. We'd need to have 2 individual contributers lined up that can hit the ground running for it to make any sense this season.

I know financial stuff is important, and I wouldn't suggest we turn down anything too good to reject or spend beyond our means, but we also need to take the opportunity to give Marti the best squad possible while he's here, because he won't be for long and managers like him don't turn up at QPR often.

WTF is a head of methodology?
at 13:25 22 Jul 2024

Absolutely. It always causes confusion with these kind of ambiguous titles, but from the description it seems his role will be to make sure every area remains aligned to the longer term vision - whether that be play style, culture, progression, etc.

If the training ground is a physical representation of bringing players and staff together, staff like this will be in charge of the theory.

Jimmy Dunne
at 12:45 19 Jul 2024

Small sample size, but he played RCB in a three for some of the pre season and I think on occasion we'll see that system - either to start or in-game - especially as the new lad looks more of an attacking wing back / winger.

Ultimately he's an option at RB, CB or RCB - but I don't think he will be in our strongest 11 atm if we're playing a back 4.

Cannon is more of a ? for me - I see him being similar to Dunne in style but behind him in the pecking order. Maybe with Dunne being in his last year, we are holding Cannon for security. Interesting to see how we juggle our options on that side.
