The season 25-26 squad thread 10:22 - Apr 13 with 30943 viewsngbqpr

*July 28th updated...*

I have included dev squad players who had first team minutes last season but not those (eg Tuck or the lad from Aberdeen) who've had pre-season minutes as realistically we won't know til we see the bench on Aug 9 if any of them are genuinely in the frame...I've made an exception with Esquerdinha unless / until we sign another LB.

I have now bracketed Lloyd and Dixon Bonner away from the main list due to strong rumours of loan / departure...and also Richards, as he seems to have disappeared again.


GKs
Nardi / Walsh / Salamon

CBs
JCS / Morrison / Cook / Mbengue

FBs
Dunne / Adamson / Larkeche / Esquerdinha

Midfield*
Chair / Dembele / Field / Madsen / Varane / Vale / Smyth / Morgan / Bennie / Sutton / Poku
(Richards / Dixon Bonner)

(* obvs in a 433 some of these play as wide forwards, but I reckoned it was easier to bunch them in here, and keep 'strikers' to those playing centrally up top and charged with leading our goals for column).

Strikers
Celar / Kolli / Burrell / Frey
(Lloyd)

As ever, please shout if any obvious misses.

There is a new Inside Training video on the offy. I didn't see Frey, Celar or Burrell. And no Esquerdinha either - is he injured as he wasn't in the match day squads for the last two friendlies?

There were two young players I didn't recognise from the DS. One with big hair (not the new CB Smith) and the other quite stocky looking. Does anyone know them?

Bennie seemed to be playing as a striker. Perhaps Stephan sees him in that position but I'm not convinced.


Apparently a 15yo is training with the first team, Leon Scarlett.
They are fast tracking players through, what a change in mentality at the club.

Isn't Kealey Adamson one of the players and I thought I did see Burrell.

Adamson is in the video but isn't one of the two. I'll have another look at the video and hope to see Burrell.

Both look big units for their age, and value in football is increasingly favouring the biggest lads (sorry Illy, Kaddy)

Bennie needs to go out on loan. I'm not convinced he's good enough at this level so it'd be interesting to see what he could do in league 2.

Someone call Mr Holloway at Swindon please....

Not sure anyone has worked out what his best position is. Not quick enough as a winger and doesn't have the strikers instinct (great goal last week mind but offered little else)

I agree with the loan, but thought he looked decent as a False 9 last week (more so than as a winger). Offered often and moved well.

I thought he was one of the better looking players from the DS. I think him, Aoroha and Talla all looked like they could use a loan in L1/L2

I don't think he is really championship level. But do prefer him as a false No.9 than Dembele or Smyth.

I a.do think a loan to L1 oe L2 until January would be beneficial to him and QPR.

Agree about the false 9, but that’s a very low bar.

I’m never entirely sure whether we have false no 9’s or fake no 9’s.

This squad deserves an update and isn't looking quite as worrying now.

A LB and an extra body in midfield would be ideal. Although, I really hope Poku hasn't pulled his hammy that would be a sickener!

Based on the first few games, We have 8/9 championship level players in our squad.

By all means have 11 good prospects waing in the wings but you need 11 solid championship players.

Nardi
Dunne
Mbengue
Field
Varane
Chair
Poku
Morrison, almost there although wasnt great yesterday
Cook showing his age now?
JCS... Never fit

Dembele, Kone, Burrell, Walsh have the ability but yet to show it / consistently show it

Going to keep posting on this thread to highlight just how weak the squad is.

A championship team with only 8/9 championship level players (with most currently out of form)

Shocking.

Also, every single squad player should have the ability to step up, otherwise they are a dev player.

How many of our squad can do this?

We've signed a load of Dev players, no where near this level. Now trying to blood them in one of the best and hardest leagues in the world
