We know Luongo was rested today but do we read anything into Sylla not featuring in the squad? Injured? Rested? Lined up to leave? |  |

He hasn't started Washington for ages and Smith has done well (compared to both Sylla and Washington) plus his other solution produced a match winning goal/performance (Smyth) - so no I don't think he IS being perverse at all! |
The fact that, other than Brum and Burton, we're the only team that don't have anybody in the top 30 Championship scorers at this stage of the season might suggest that Ollie still can't decide how (and who) to play his attack.
Even Ryan Sessegnon, who is usually a left back, has more goals than any of our players. |  |

Sylla has started 24 games in the last two seasons according to the stats here -
https://www.foxsports.com/soccer/queens-park-rangers-team-stats?competition=23&s
Over 2016/17 and 2017/18 our strikers compare like this -
Sylla.......14 goals......2389 minutes played.....171 minutes per goal
Smith.....12 goals......2626 minutes played.....219 minutes per goal
Washington..11 goals..3915 minutes played..356 minutes per goal
Mackie...5 goals......2216 minutes per goal....443 minutes per goal
The same stat (last two seasons) for some of the more prolific scorers in the Championship at the moment -
Assombolonga....156 minutes per goal
Vibe....................165 minutes per goal
Vydra..................174 minutes per goal
Reid (Bris C)........269 minutes per goal
Adomah..............283 minutes per goal
For me by far the most important thing with strikers is how often they score. That's their job. Assists are good too. What they look like while their doing it is neither here nor there. People who criticise Sylla, or don't start him in the team, should reflect on those stats. |
These stats are the best comparison because they cover the period when Smith, Sylla, Washington and Mackie have all been playing for QPR i.e. the last two seasons. What's the point in any other stats? What's the point in going back years to a time when they were better or worse, playing for different teams in different divisions? What's the point in limiting it to this season?
The only point is if you do not like the facts staring you in the face, which are that Washington is out of his depth and Smith and Sylla are the best options.
As for they are all as bad as each other argument, that is strictly for the idiots who got it wrong and backed Washington.
As for the myth of Washington's useful pressing watch him closely next time. If he ever looks like getting to a defender with the ball he slows down to give the defender time to pass. He runs about a lot but to absolutely no effect.
Neither Sylla nor Smith are what we would like but they deserve support and on the goals per minute comparison are not far behind some good Championship strikers. |  | | |

what are you on about Holloway being perverse in who he picks, he hasn't picked Washington in weeks and Sylla has started 3 of the last 4 league games in which the only goal we scored was an own goal. |
IH gave Washington chance after chance over a long period earlier this season despite him not scoring. Sylla has not been afforded the same run.
That's what I am on about.
I think we'll all agree, this has got boring. |  |

I have to admit. Despite this discussion and others i've read/participated in. Despite all the stats. Despite all the games i've seen.
I'm still undecided about who our least crap striker is! |  |

Mind you, Cardiff's top scorer is Junior Hoilett (6) and they're not doing too badly. | |

Yep! There was a point on about p2 where interesting points were being made but wvery time I've looked at the thread over the past few days, virtually nothing new has been added to the debate..
Looks like one of those cases of agreeing to disagree for now, although there is at least now concensus about Washington | | | |

JET suddenly getting 90 minutes for the u23s today - surely we're not going to waste time giving him another chance? |  | | |

Were they playing against a team of under 23 girls perchance (laydeez free b4 11)? #swazz |  | | |

He missed a pen and a couple of other chances. [Post edited 12 Jan 2018 22:31]

Good point. We're in a funny situation (again) where we're in a league with quite a few teams a little bit better than us. Not too many teams very much worse than us. | |

Oteh has 1 goal after only 87 minutes of first team action.
Including reserves, he has 14 in 15 appearances this season.
Smyth has an even better goal ratio. | | | |

Arguing over the relative merits of QPR's strikers is like judging the Miss Scunthorpe Pageant really isn't it? They're all not very good, and we can't do very much about it. |
It's worse than you thought Clive

Let's throw Sylla into the Miss Scunthorpe Pageant to see how he gets on. We could do with winning something. |  |

So I take it Miss Scunthorpe is Sylla's new nickname ? |  | | |
