Two identical non performances from Tyler at Brum and Luton. He is either unfit or not up for it, tend to feel he is a bit of a luxury player, once Armstrong came on looked much more effective. |  | | |  |

I'm genuinely struggling to understand how any fan can 'rate' a player that is often injured and therefore never gets a long run in the team. I also struggle to understand why QPR think that they can perform miracles that other clubs and medical staff can't. There's clearly some fundamental talent there but at 24 his track record speaks for itself. Naturally I hope I'm proven completely wrong, and he goes on to score a clutch of goals for QPR this season! |
For every Tyler Roberts there’s a Sam Field. It’s not ideal but in our financial situation we have to cut our cloth accordingly hence we sometimes take a risk on such players. [Post edited 5 Nov 2022 12:31]

Gone back to Leeds to continue his treatment |
This speaks volumes to me.
It’s a niggling calf injury that should be cleared in a couple of weeks so he can (laughably) be considered for the Wales WC squad.
Rather than stick around with his fellow squad members for a year, get involved in training, be aware of set plays, generally be involved and actually maybe help….he skits back oop North and home.
Are we paying his wages during this time?
I know apologists will point to better facilities, he can be with his family (if that’s where they’re based) and we all need a break; but my personal feeling is with a low grade injury like this then it’s just not good enough.
Appears to me he’s not invested, not willing to do the hard stuff and won’t go the extra needed to be a success at our level. Return to sender, step up Sinclair’s progress and/or find a more willing replacement.
Shame as there’s a quality player in him but only when everything aligns |  |

Richard Dunne is the one which always comes to mind for me, he had been out injured for an age before we brought him in. He then did an amazing job for us.

He's an obvious scapegoat but we need a better striking option for the second half of the season. Sinclair is clearly raw (although I'd have thrown him on earlier yesterday) and Bonne will be gone soon. I just don't have much faith in Roberts being regularly available, particularly if there's a Wales game coming up. |  | | |

The jury is out on him....for sure. Not sure he will ever be a Premiership player though.
Compare him with some of our other players, Laird, Tim, Paal, Deing, etc and I am not sure he will be good enough for a Premier team on a regular basis - he may get a game or two but not a first Team regular. We will see but he will need to improve. |
He’s made 50 appearances in the PL for a club that’s still there. |  |

No way are we on the hook for £4mill. How could the club promise to pay money it doesn't have? Wouldn't make sense.
There is an 'option to buy' for £4mill. It might, might, be compulsory if we go up. But I've never heard of a deal structured like that before.
Still he'd defo be a snip at £1mill. You make not like him for his attitude but that would be a very cheap deal for a player of his attributes at this level. [Post edited 1 Nov 2022 18:11]

His attributes being……keeping the physios table warm and occupied for the season. Could be the best player in the world, but utterly pointless if not contributing out on the pitch.
We have a small enough squad as it is, so we can no longer afford to carry players that are constantly injured. Even Willock is becoming a problem and would be surprised, although delighted, if he can remain fit for the rest of the season. Chair rarely misses a game, if at all this season.
Injuries defined our eventual position in the 21/22 season, and will no doubt do the same again this season.
The tolerance for “crocks” taking up financial resources we can I’ll afford is fast disappearing.
Terminate the loan and find someone who can actually play occasionally. | | | |

You can't compare Sam Field with Tyler Roberts. Roberts has a track record of persistent injury, Sam doesn't.
Most clubs in the pyramid are under the same financial constraints as QPR, let's not pretend that we're alone in that respect. However, most clubs do not employ a policy of taking gambles on injury-prone players. Indeed, in our situation I would argue that the opposite strategy is required; if finances are tight then you can't afford to waste money on crocks.
Nothing against Tyler but he isn't what we need. He's often injured, and when he is available, he doesn't score goals. |  | | |

I think what he was saying, and he is right, is that Field's injury record prior to joining us was poor, and it was, a big part of the reason West Brom let him go, and yet he's come here and basically been ever present. It is a way of finding value in the market when you're on a tight budget. No way is Jake Clarke Salter even playing in this league, enver mind for us, if he wasn't injured as often as he is. But then, like you say, sometimes if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a fcking duck - Clarke-Salter and Roberts have been injured their whole career to date, and still are, expecting our medical team to perform miracles that those at Chelsea and Leeds cannot possibly match is a bit optimistic. But it did work with Field... |  | | |

Difference being one is a loan and one is our own player.
That does make a massive difference both in terms of fans perception of players attitude at the club but also the actual players attitude towards the club. |  |

We had to put him under the knife to get him where he is today, and he missed a chunk of matches in the meantime. Whatever the issue is with Roberts, we are not likely to sort it in time for him to make a meaningful contribution this season.
If he does plays in the World Cup it will be seen as him putting that in favour of helping our cause.
As our marquee striker signing, he has been a massive disappointment so far and proved all his critics correct. | | | |

Jordi De Vijs has managed 491 minutes so far this season.
6 starts of which in 3 he was subbed off. Also 2 appearances off the bench

Sam Field was originally a loan signing. Anyway, I don’t think anyone’s comparing the two players in terms of attitude and application. It’s about the rationale behind the club signing players with dodgy injury records as you can end up with a gem like Field who had fallen out of favour at WBA due to persistent injuries. | | | |

Poor guy: if you play for England you will probably have another World Cup in 4 years to try to get in the squad for but for Wales it might be a one off.
Good for QPR though as we can try to get him fit ready for the re-start. |  | | |

Not as easy a proposition to just look abroad now in a post Brexit world. The players that qualify under visa rules are a much reduced number within our price when it comes to strikers. |  |

yeah even England you probably only get 2 world cups in a career maybe more if you start young, must be gutting to miss out through injury | | | |

And even then you're not guaranteed a place. Think of someone lke Robbie Fowler, one of the best centre forwards in the early Premier League.
Two sub appearances in Euro 1996.
Injured in 1998.
In the Euro 2000 squad but didn't play.
2002 came on as a second-half sub against Denmark, his last cap.
26 appearances, 7 goals.
Crazy really. [Post edited 10 Nov 2022 0:20]

Feel sorry for him. Hopefully he’ll want to bounce back quickly after the break and prove the doubters wrong. I think he has the ability. | | | |
