Did anyone else on here attend today's Open Training session?
I was there with my son and when it came to the signing & selfie session some of the players didn't stay behind, including Dunne , Morrison and Kone.
Oh, and some of the shooting in the practice matches from the likes of Kolli & Dembele were dreadful, although I was impressed with Varane's and wonder why he doesn't get forward more and shoot (perhaps that will change if Hayden plays in the deeper role and allows him to play the no.8 role).

Frey is an interesting dude. Always seems to be injured and then disappearing off the face of the known Universe….. |
With a new contract in his back pocket | | | |

I saw him in Richmond on Sunday. Couldn't buttonhole him as I was on the bus. He exists... |  | | |

You tell me. Why does Dembele get cramp every week?
The conditioning of our squad is a mystery to one and all at the moment. |
Lots of pre-season videos of them skipping over little cones and stuff, and playing 5 a side matches with those little goals. Maybe a bit more running up and down hills wouldn't go amiss. Real basic stuff that seems to be missing. You don't need a flashy training centre to do that...... |  | | |

"Terror Tuesdays" as Gerry Francis used to put them through.
It was all run run run.
Sinton said he didn't mind it, but the other players hated it. I bet Macca hated it big time, but what do you say to Gerry, who captained England at 23 and kept Wilkins in his prime out of the England team, who in turn then kept Hoddle out for ages too?
That's how good Gerry Francis was.
What you say is "Yes Boss".
Becuase if Macca is doing it, then there is no excuse for the rest of em.
Cook needs to get stuck into this lot with Hayden helping him.
Its gotten so bad that any repeat of that performance and Richards might get a game.
I hope they come out angry and mad against Charlton and really ravage them with goals.
We shall see. |  |

It is nonsense that players like Kone are not out on the pitch if they are fit......watch on Saturday who plays from the new signings. Training & Match days are very different things.
Why, for example, Kone did not start at Coventry is wrong, you just keep his responsibilities simple if you think that it is all too much for him (but it should not be).
Do you think that none of of this weeks signing will not play against Charlton??? |
Those ITK tell me that Kone turned up far too fit from Wycombe and was advised to take it easy for a week or so.
He was last seen rolling up a Woodbine, pouring himself a pint and settling down in front of the ITV racing.
Slow burn progressing well and expected to last 60 minutes Saturday before the cramp sets in. |  | | |

Spoke to Ben Williams and he said Chair has a minor injury and was at a specialist appointment so couldn’t come but he’s back soon. |
Zoom? |  | | |

Christian N was there with Ben Williams and Darren Batthews in his pocket. Need to sort the injured players out . | | | |

Exactly this. It's why I always thought Smyth did more damage coming off the bench. I think he has got at least two left backs sent off by terrorizing them when they are tired and can't handle him |
Also by diving |  |

I think you may have misunderstood being fit and available with not yet being integrated into the 1st team squad the same week they sign. I suspect there is a need for a couple of weeks of training with new team mates on (the supposed) club game philosophy and understanding the roles and patterns of play. I don’t think it is always the case of walk in the front door don a number 9 shirt and 2 days later just start upfront and play 90mins at Watford. |
Sorry but what roles and pattern of play are you seeing, because I have seen disjointed and suicidal passing it out from the back football. Surely, they don't need two weeks training for that. It seems to me to be a club policy to delay putting them in the team. In the past new signings often went straight in. | | | |

I mean we're not privvy to the info they are, but I would have thought it would make sense to start with Kone and him go as long as he can and then use Burrell off the bench with his pace running at a more tired defence. |
Totally agree.
QPR cannot afford to not put in a good performance against Charlton, because we all know that the first game after the international break they usually fail to win..
Given the next game us away at Wrexham, I expect nothing more than a draw up there.
The atmosphere at the ground will soon start to get toxic because MC was a popular head coach and imo JS is coming across as a bit of a yes man. | | | |

Why would Kone only be able to do 20/30 minutes!! |
Ditto.
He did come on as a 58th min sub for Wycombe on 9th August . I'm guessing he was a sub because they were going to sell him and wanted to see hiw they performed without him. | | | |

I agree that the conditioning of the squad is a mystery as is the training they do during the week and in between games. Unless I have misunderstood things, it seems they have /are not being trained to be fully fit until later on rather than earlier in the season. | | | |
