Has there been a better one? Fans seem to be getting everything they've asked for; Hayden, Saito and Kone plus Poku, Mbengue and the resigning of Jimmy Dunne. Some of these have come to QPR despite strong interest from other clubs and even higher bids if you believe what’s been said about Saito. What’s not to like?

Getting in very early on this one. I only started one match thread last season and we won 4-0 so here’s hoping my luck continues especially as it’s such a huge fixture. Not just because it’s the first game of the season or because it’s the first game for JS, not just because the pressure is on us to beat a team, at home, that many have tipped to be relegated but because this team needs to win for its fragile confidence. To get its supporters to forget about gardening leave and divided opinions. My anxiety levels are way higher than normal for this game and with the injuries we’ve accumulated so early in the season I don’t think they’re going to drop, especially if Dunne and Cook are unavailable.
You wait for months for the season to start and this is what you get; a knot in the pit of your stomach.
I’m going for a rollercoaster 3-2 win. Chair with the first.
C’mon you soooopahhooooopsah.

Now that this season is over attention inevitably focuses on squad building for next year. Any lower league gems or players from any of the relegated teams we should look at? One player I’d like us to sign would be Chris Mepham. A suitable replacement for Ronnie Edwards, his contract at Bournemouth is apparently up, he’s had a very good season on loan at Sunderland, he’s a good age at 27 and most importantly, he’s a QPR fan! Only downside is I’d imagine his wages would be pretty high.
We beat Eustace only a couple of games ago and I reckon we’ll beat his team again. I’d also like to see Colback and Morgan as the deeper laying two in midfield and Kolli given a chance after an hour or so if he’s recovered from his recent injury/illness (?). I think he’s been hard done by recently considering the amount of goals and assists he’s had.
Unfortunately I missed about 10 minutes of the match after Ashby came on. So, for those that saw it all, was he injured or hooked and if he was hooked, why?
Has anyone else noticed that, when he’s subbed off, Saito turns to the pitch and bows. In a sporting context this is also done at martial arts dojos and at Sumo wrestling. Being a bit of a fan of all things Japanese I love that he does this.
