What this pending relegation will tell us all
at 19:34 15 Apr 2023

Like the time we was originally promoted to PL under Warnock - we had a good thing going (in this case - Warburton) and got ahead of ourselves thinking we could do better (Beale) and well - FUBAR.

Even the slightest of progress under Warburton despite the usual mid-season collapses, we was never in real danger of relegation. Gosh I miss our safe warm 16th spot now. Although the season we lost Hugill, Wells and Eze from our attack I did worry about our ability to score but alas he found a way.

I think it's going to be the epitome of the Fernandes and co era. I do wonder whether they have the gumption to stick it out in league one.

Our current loans..
at 10:00 31 Jan 2023

Just a thought maybe covered else where but it's clear now for me at least even though the gap between our position and playoff's isn't massive, we lack the character to get in and stay in the playoffs. I would guess that if we was to rocket up the league for whatever reason - we would bottle it at the the end because of our squads current character traits.

Nevertheless, I am actually at a point to write off this season and start for next.. A lot of threads for us to blood some players in, Kolli, Armstrong for example.

It begs the question about the loans we have - what type of deals are there?

Tim - I can only guess based on this coming weekends selection, that if he is selected to start - it's because we are required to pay Villa money for every game he doesn't play or some sort of deal?

Roberts - probably similar to Tim, but maybe not. Whenever he's been available for us he's started.

Richards - it seems obvious we can't cancel this loan as we have a deal to buy at the end of the season. And buying now hurts us with FFP?

Laird - arguably the best of the loans but can be seen to be delicate when it comes to knocks or injuries.

Lowe - just got here.

I would honestly have expected Les, Lee and Neil to send Tim back to villa if we could. Loaning somebody else's academy star is only good for us if they perform. Otherwise we're giving them work experience ahead of our own players regardless whether dozzell or amos are better.

Roberts isn't needed and seemingly is a bad influence on the team. His tantrums during games is evident and he can go back asap. Again - why hasn't Les or Lee done this earlier in the window?

I'd keep Laird purely because he is leagues better than Kakay and I would say he and Paal are our POTY so far.. sadly for Ozzy he's never going to be a championship starting full back.

Our squad needs a refresh that is clear - I don't think we can rely on blooding the prospects from the B team or even Kolli. We need to send back two of our loans and get others in, but i feel we've either got our heads in the sand or we're contractually unable to send them back.

PNE & Ridsdale caught in a bit of a drama..
at 09:12 17 Jan 2023



I can't find the source of the drama, but it's been summarised on PNE forums, reddit, twitter etc as the following:

- Ben Whiteman to Watford leaked
- The leaker has their Spurs ticket revoked
- The leaker then spills more including a plan to put the club in admin in 2024
- The leaker is threatened by Ridsdale
- The club tell the newspapers it's not legit
- The screenshots leak, confirming it is Ridsdale
- The club lie about it not being Ridsdale in this statement

Fun times ahead, probably tosh - but with Ridsdale you can never be certain.

Warburtons best QPR XI
at 19:35 4 Jul 2022

Was chatting with the old man on weekend about some of the players we've had in our team over the Warburton era and how we've been close in two occasions but not quite there. Wanted to see if others would pick for players who played under Mark in his time. I'd hazard a guess, we'd have a pretty strong XI, but curious as to who people would pick including the formation?

Mine would've probably been:

3421

Dieng

Dickie Dunne Barbet

Adomah Field Johanson Manning

Eze Willock

Wells

Feels an absolute crime not playing hugill, austin or dykes with the deliveries Adomah and Manning would've provided. Would this team get promotion? I think it'd probably be top 2. Eze making the difference.

Dykes in Scotland squad...
at 11:27 18 Mar 2022

Marshall too, this was dated 15th. Surely Dykes can't play?

Apologies if this has already been discussed. Saw some bits from MW about it after the Forest game:

"We always want our players to go away at get international experience but if he is not fit for us he is not fit for Scotland."

Just noticed Swansea use Ryan Manning as a centre back
at 20:20 20 Aug 2021

As part of a back 3... another ex QPR player, Bidwell is prefered at left wing back. Considering how good offensively and poor defensively he was for us I am shocked to see this.
