After the much-missed relegation-promotion indexes from Robith, maybe we should have an Impending Doom index. People could vote on their phones on a scale of 1-5 while walking up the South Africa Road. |

The fact that he went from managing Kiddy to being our assistant manager was, I thought at the time, a great move for us and one of the things that gave me confidence in the QPR management of that era. |

I rate him highly and, given that Derby are almost out of sight in our rear-view mirror while Blackburn are currently sat in the league spot which is the absolute height of our current ambition, I'm quite glad to see him making the move (less so if Derby massacre us on Valentine's Day, obviously.) |

Excellent result for Queen's Park, when did they last win at Ibrox? |

Quote from the Guardian report online:
"And all the while, the hills were alive with the sound of Muslic. The new Plymouth coach may only have been in the job for a month, but already he has infused the club with the vigour so lacking under his predecessor Wayne Rooney. There is a kind of alpha magnetism to the bearded Austrian, a coach who talks a lot about “courage” and “balls”, who looks like the sort of guy who will try and sell you a 12-part online course on how to unlock your inner wolf."
Another good thing about this, is that it's another case of a good, unheralded coach (like Marti here, and Danny Rohl at Sheff Weds) outperforming so-called big name media darlings like Rooney or Lampard. |

Long before my time so I wouldn't know, but I have to salute you for standing up for your old mate's old man. |

OK, some fair points here.
I suppose what I mean by "unwilling to do what it takes" isn't so much about charging around at high temp, it's more about mailing himself a key part of the team - which in his case would be about pulling the strings, pinging the ball out to willing runners like Smyth or Saito. That's what I'm not seeing and hoped for.
QPROslo may be onto something with the idea that trying to contribute more defensively has been detrimental (though if so that makes him a luxury this team probably can't afford.) Certainly there were some signs early on that he had something to offer, which have largely disappeared. |

Less than a month ago people were slagging off the manager for picking Edwards in the FA Cup and using his selection as evidence that we were playing a weakened team. |

Yeah, it might not be fair to say that Frey "woke up to" the need to run, I'm not sure he was fit enough to do that when he joined, but he's made bloody sure that he can and does.
I just don't get why Madsen has seemed so unwilling to do what it takes. He's really blown a chance here, because if you look at where we are despite our appalling start to the season you can see that thee's plenty of potential here but he's p*ssed away the chance to be the main man in this side.
(Pretty sure Varane is going to get lots more game time, btw. Very willing player and usually good value for his place when he plays.) |

For the full-on Rangers experience he'd be out for the rest of the season but we'd have got him on loan. |

This isn't a totally stupid POV, but the real issue is poor contract management. If we sell Dunne now we may be getting the best price for him that we can expect, but it's still going to be low relative to his worth to the club. I don't think we're looking at a sale now that will fund "multiple" players next year, I think we're looking at roughly the price of one Madsen.
(OK I know Madsen has been exceptionally poor value, but my point is that when 2-3m counts as a big outlay, you are always going to be taking a risk. It's either one Madsen or 2-3 Saitos and Hevertons, either way you aren't going to be rebuilding a team on that even if the deals are on balance decent; you need things like Morgan, where a guy you signed for peanuts turns out to be a mainstay of the team.)
We ought to have had Dunne under a serious length of contract, so that we can play hardball when it comes to sale negotiations. TBF to the club, it really would have needed them to get the contract sorted relatively soon after his move to RB, when his true value to us became apparent. |
