Only 4 but looking at goals+assists he is on 24 which is the highest with Alfie May second on 23 (15 goals + 8 assists).
Comparable output to Ivan Toney or Ollie Watkins when they were at Peterborough and Exeter. |

Luton, Derby and Plymouth can't catch us, so we'd still be safe. |

I think as a fanbase we've dealt with a lot of BS-ers, Paladini, Hughes, Redknapp, Beale to name a few. So I think we have a reduced tolerance for this kind of thing and a 27 year old running a recruitment process for a new DoF/CEO and coming up with himself as the answer sits well within that list. Some of his decisions around communication then compound that. Perhaps that's unfair on him but some of that is down to himself and the way he's approached things. I'm sure if he engaged more with the fans he could have got some pointers on how some of his actions come across.
I've been quite clear from the start of the season that the owners should either sack him or get a DoF to do the work on the playing side. I don't think that's unreasonable. He's done some good manoeuvres in the transfer window and I think his data approach is a good strategy but I don't think he should have as much control as he does. He has stated in an interview that if there's a disagreement between Belk and Marti on a signing he'll "take a closer look" and make the decision. What qualifies him for that? |

I was too young to remember the exact details of the Thompson out campaign, although I remember being at the ground for home game(s) when there were protests.
You keep saying it's your dreams to GaryBannister86 but my question would be, do you not think it's a problem that Thompson didn't share the dreams of the fans in wanting to win something with QPR?
Seems like the minimum you'd want to have from the chairman of any club. |

We were sub-par at the start of the season but we had injuries to Chair and Frey meaning players were chucked in the deep end like Celar despite the transfer strategy of brining in players from abroad meaning that they would probably benefit from a slower bedding in. We had so many CB's injured at one point we had Santos at RB to release Dunne then Field in CB Saito and Ashby as LB! We started to improve in late November when Celar in particular started to bed in and players returned from injury, so I think it's fair to say injuries have been a big part of this season. |

I think for the older players like Morrison and Smyth, they should be trying to get the place on merit in training or improving on areas of weakness, not just waiting for loans to leave. We could get more kids in the squad and give them minutes but personally I'd leave it at least until after Leeds to make that call.
You'd hope everyone at the club would be aiming to aim as high as possible to send a bit of a message that we've turned a corner and aren't going to be in relegation battle next season. |

Hopefully the add ons for Dykes are either appearances or promotion and not goals. He's played 25 times and scored 1 goal in league 1, all be it probably mostly as a sub. |

The irony is that the people who tend to agree with trump and trump himself, would be the last people to be happy if the boot was on the other foot.
If Mexico annexed Florida and started attacking Texas, would he accept just letting them keep the territory in the name of peace? Would similar minded people in the UK be happy with France taking Kent?
All the while Russia's aggression is not directly effecting them, it's easy to ignore that and concentrate on what does effect them, which is the financial aspect of supporting Ukraine. But it's quite possibly cheaper in the long run to support Ukraine to stop Russia earlier rather than let them become emboldened to do more. They're already entering our airspace regularly and damaging other countries infrastructure in the north sea. |

I thought the party line was that we wouldn't loan players that we have no chance of signing. I think Saito is a possibility, Spurs aren't going to let us sign their lad. Obviously if we can boost revenue and cover the costs, it's slightly different but still potentially blocking pathways. |

I'd say yes at home or when playing teams we expect to sit in and need breaking down. If we're away or against a team likely to dominate possession then I'd go Field, Varane and Morgan. Good option to have though. |

Reply | Chair - positional change
at 19:08 28 Jan 2025
I think you need to evolve the system as opposition change how they set up against us. We started that run with very few CB's available and makeshift full backs so we needed the defence protecting. Teams would also have seen us as a winnable game and come to attack, now they may be more cautious.
I think Chair might be good in that role so long as he presses and works hard. I don't think he's a lazy player, so don't see why he wouldn't. As others have said, it will give Saito a chance, we have Dembele coming back too. It should also allow for rotation of Morgan, Field and Varane which may protect the team from drop off in performance from fatigue.
If it works it could be a good option to switch things up against teams who are more defensive. |

at 08:22 24 Jan 2025
I think this is the most compelling argument however I think that the club should be resigning him with a view to him being replaced at right back and forming part of the long term center back partnership possibly with Morrison.
He's shown he is solid at CB in the championship recently while covering for injuries. He is great in the air which is something we need at CB and set pieces. He has a great attitude and comes across as a big part of the team ethic that's improved our season. We have Cook and Fox who are getting on and JCS and Morrison who seem to be injury prone, so if we let him go we're going to need a RB and CB.
Anyway, they should be doing everything they can to keep him. |

Agreed, wasn't there also a player in training videos and known to have been signed for weeks before there was an announcement?
How can all of the following be true:
“This season we’ve had the most contact injuries the club has had in a single season for five seasons”
“League comparison from the latest EFL report says we’re 13th for muscular injuries in the league, midtable in terms of injuries”
Says the recent injury updates are only because we’ve got injuries to update on, previously “we didn’t have any injuries”.
Are we just supposed to forget en-masse the months at the start of the season where players we were expecting to be back weren't then on team sheets and no information was forthcoming from the club.
Appreciate that he's improving the communication and some of the updates are quite interesting and moving in the right direction in some areas if true. But when he's clearly telling lies in some areas (Injuries/Contracts), why should we trust his comments on the other items? Personally I think that telling lies so blatantly and expecting us not to be able to spot them shows a level of contempt for us as fans. |

If Colback is out of contract in the summer I would take him as the replacement experienced head in midfield. Assume we'd need Colbacks wages off the books first. |

Handball was unintentional, which apparently doesn't matter but it also caused the ball to fly up when it might have been easier if it hadn't.
As for a foul on the defender, I didn't think so, but you do expect the ref to favour the defender. He was consistent on that allowing Morris to hold down Dunne when heading at the back post, luckily Nardi saved. |

I thought some of the comments about Edwards post match were a bit much. Gaz and Jamie saying he's proven his a top manager because he got them promoted. But that was mainly Nathan Jones who built that team. They used to be really hard to beat but under Edwards they seem to have got a lot easier to play against.
I think they did at least point out that even though the stats for the game were even, Luton only looked dangerous from set pieces. Given the squad at their disposal, that's quite poor. |

Yeah I thought that too, read the situation well I think.
Would have liked him to score one of those chances. He put in a lot of hard work and think his decision making was good with the chances he had, just execution was off. |

It's definitely going to be a difficult game.
I'd possibly go with Ashby, Dunne, Edwards and Paal at the back, then if necessary bring on Fox and JCS to rest Dunne and Paal. Don't want to overdo Fox or JCS given their injury issues.
I would imagine that Smyth is knackered given his work rate and number of games but if he's good to go tonight I'd keep him in. Same for Morgan. |
