Clive Allen did very little apart from score goals. Hundreds of them. Mind you, that was his job. |

Thanks everyone for your insights. The reason I asked the question is that I find Madsen an enigma but he's creative, got an eye for a pass and a goal and is a different type of player to anyone else in the squad. I would like him to do well but he can be passive and frustrating. He reminds me a lot of Mike Fillery who in the days before message boards divided opinion in the ground by a) coming from Chelsea and b) strolling around a lot which looked like indifference. It took half a season before we realised his creative virtues and it helped that he had Gary Waddock was doing the leg work next to him in midfield. |

I saw he played 84 mins and on the highlights there was a great turn and pass for Kone's goal. How was he the rest of the match? |

Reply | We had a perfectly good manager in Marti…

Much as I liked Marti and was disappointed to see him go, I think even peak Brian Clough or Alex Ferguson would struggle if their team were deliberately unfit at the start of the season. We’re basically giving away the first 10 games so that we can be strong in the last 10 games. But we might be down by then so how is this helping us? |

Paal was one of the few bright sparks over the last 3 years and I feel sad that he's gone. He often had to cover the whole of the left flank (defence and attack) with little support. He came up with some vital goals and prevented many more. There have been some lame criticisms of him on this thread by people with short memories. Without him, we would have been screwed and in a lower division. I wish him well and hope he signs a good contract and gets lots of opportunities. Thanks Ken and best of luck. |

Ah progress. What was our answer to all these very similar (and perfectly reasonable) questions from Cifuentes? Stick him on gardening leave and bugger on regardless. |

He died in Amsterdam. He was a terrible junkie which is why he looked so haggard only 30 years after his pretty boy heyday. There's a documentary by Bruce Weber called "Let's Get Lost" which follows him around and chronicles his last year. Very depressing but worth a watch if it's still available. |

I do remember Jim Gregory sacking Tommy Docherty and then bringing him back a week or two later but I think that was just a power play. We were all pleased he came back but then as soon as Terry Venables became available, Jim sacked him again and we were all like Tommy who?
That was 45 years ago but I think there's about as much chance of Tommy Docherty being the manager again than Cifuentes making a comeback, sadly |

Reminds me of Mike Fillery when we signed him from a small second division club called Chelsea. He seemed to be off the pace and disinterested, and got booed by some fans. He was just adjusting to life at QPR and by the end of the season, he was gliding through the gears and a pleasure to watch. It just took time for him to find his rhythm. He wasn't blessed with great pace or eye-catching energy but he had vision and could find an incisive pass or match-winning assist. The following season he was bossing the midfield (with a little help from Gary Waddock and John Gregory) and I hope Madsen does the same next year. |
