Take the 1st Team squad to a Combined Counties Game 23:10 - Nov 20 with 4820 views | SterlingArcher | Reality check time. OK most of the squad are vastly overpaid prima donnas knowing only the better life of a pampered footballer with everything done for them by the club, their agent or lackey. Get them down to a lower league game on a windswept night somewhere like South Park, Colliers Wood or Hanworth Villa and there they'll see players showing 100% commitment and playing as if their lives depended on getting through to the next round of the Lemon Recordings Challenge Cup. And all this in front about 30 people ! We saw something similar in the late 90's/early 00's when we had non committed players, but at a much lower scale than today. Unfortunately a lot of them ended up playing in lower pro and non league football and if we get relegated I can't see a lot of our squad leaving QPR and going to a bigger club. | | | | |

Can look closer to home. “The best thing for me is that the players are working on things in training and then producing it in games — and doing it well. That’s all you can ask for. “We struggled in our first couple of games but now we’re passing the ball really well and creating chances. We also kept a clean sheet. There’s not much more you can do.” Mark Bircham after the U21s won 2-0 at Swansea on Monday night. | |
