At least until January. If so who would it be? |

Thread | Dixon-Bonner
at 08:30 30 Jul 2023
The few times I've seen him, in the friendly against Livingston, a couple of cameo appearances for first team and a couple of B team/U23 games, he has impressed. Looks composed, good on the ball and as we saw against Reading, shows a bit of pace. Not sure what his best position is as he's played both as a defensive midfielder and as a 10. I thought he would be a good option with Field in a 4-2-3-1, yet Ainsworth seems content to keep the unimpressive Dozzell there.
We've lost Tim, Johansen and Amos from last season and have not replaced them. Yesterday, we were outplayed by Oxford's midfield, led by Brannagan. Surely Dixon-Bonner is worth starting. Need a new presence in midfield to give Field some support. Just as important as sorting central defence in my view.

Thread | Three at the Back?
at 13:09 30 Dec 2022
It won't be the answer to all the (very worrying) problems but, as others have suggested, might get the best out of the current squad. On their day (though this appears remote now) we have two of the best full-backs, centre backs and number 10s in the Championship and we need a system that brings out these strengths. Far too early to judge Critchley but the formation last night didn't work and didn't make best use of our players: Tim Iroegbunam playing in a defensive midfield role unable to make the kind of runs so effective against Preston; Chair, isolated and out wide on the left (their first goal came from a free run of 60 yards down our left); Tyler Roberts over-played and ineffective in a 10, with Taylor Richards under-played on the bench. Willock and Chair yet to play together under new manager though illness and injury a factor there. Doesn't solve the striker problem and levels of confidence and commitment, but getting the best players in best positions would be a start. |

Well-regarded, promising young manager. Turned down two championship jobs to stay at QPR.
Knows squad and can continue to develop young players following excellent job by Warburton.
Aware of club's position and realistic about prospects.
Wouldn't cost a lot.

Thread | Barbet at left back?
at 15:50 26 Jan 2021
When the new left-sided centre back is fit would Barbet at left back be an option? Good crosser, knows how to defend (usually). |

Thread | Fake Crowd Noise For New Season - What do we think?
at 13:15 15 Aug 2020
Personally can't stand it. Accept that missing fans is a massive issue but now think that the fake noise does not add to atmosphere but instead is just a big con. Do we really need it? We know it is possible to have an exciting Test Match without the crowd noise. Sometimes in the noise-free games you pick up the odd comment from coaches that you would otherwise miss. The worst cases are when noise for goal celebrations are heard several seconds after the ball has gone in, and the incessant hissing before a penalty is taken which gives a completely misleading impression of what is going on. Our QPR noise isn't the worst but even that could be reduced to the usual goal jingle.
Of course we could still press the red button or whatever (though that option isn't always there) but why do we need it anyway? |

Thread | Journeyman footballers - Alex Baptiste
at 14:06 7 Aug 2020
Apparently Alex Baptiste has signed for his 12th (or 13th?) club. Wondering which of QPR's journeyman players has played for most clubs in his career. |

Thread | The best signing we could make...
at 13:54 31 Jan 2020
would be to give Warburton a two year extension. Let him finish the job. Whatever else the season is remembered for (I assume we won't go up or down), eg calamitous defending, disappointing cup exit etc., it will be the rise of our three young players Eze, Chair and BOS that will stand out. Credit to MW and the other coaches for that. |
