Thread | The box-to-box 8
at 21:36 1 Sep 2025
I hear a lot of talk about us needing a box-to-box 8, but what exactly is that player suppose to be and what is needed to accommodate that position? And what will be sacrificed?
We currently set up with a back 4. Two holding mids, two wingers, a 10 and a striker.
So where is this 8 supposed to fit in? I personally prefer us playing with wingers (call me old school) and think the setup against Charlton was pretty much where we are at right now.
For the 8 to fit in (between the holding mids and 10), we probably have to play 5 at the back with 2 wing-backs, doing away with the wingers. Not sure I like that idea, its a radical change I can't see us having the time to adapt to. Saito and Smyth could probably fill those roles, but Poku and especially Dembele much less suited to it.
Worst of it all, suppose we get an 8, we need another as backup, otherwise we constantly have to switch formation when the 8 is injured or suspended. Or force someone else into the role. |

How is that one coming along?
With half the dev squad reportedly in Plymouth, what sort of team did we field? |

So Dunne and Varane out for tomorrow.
Frey and JCS expected back after international break.
Good news is Taylor Richards back end of the month. |

Thread | Transfers concluded
at 08:15 4 Feb 2025
So in summary:
In:
Edwards - really needed at the time and will probably feature a lot more
Min-Hyeok - important cover for Smyth and maybe even more
Vale, Esquerdinha, O'Brien - not expected to feature for 1st team (yet)
Out:
Santos - if all buy-option rumours are true, excellent business.
Contracts extended:
Chair
Kolli
Morgan
Lloyd
A fairly conservative, but probably sensible, window of activity. Which I guess means we're happy to see out the season with whom we have and expect enough bodies to return to fitness to see us through.
Only one I am disappointed about, is EDB. Would have loved to see him go out on loan. So either we think we need him, or other clubs perhaps don't rate him. Hard one for me to judge. [Post edited 4 Feb 9:39]

Thread | Summer outs
at 10:10 20 Jan 2025
In hindsight, the players that left us in the summer were all "good business". Not least because we got money for them. And I really like the attitude (confirmed by CN recently) that if you're into you're 20's and still in the dev squad, you're not going to make it with us.
Willock on a good day could perhaps still have played a part, but all the others have been replaced by better options.
Kakay arguebly better than Santos, but neither would get a look into the squad as it is now.
Also interesting (a relief) to see that no-one that has left and made an impact or progress elsewhere. The opposite in some cases. |

Thread | home game vs Derby County
at 10:58 25 Dec 2024
Christmas present for the kids, we're taking them to London for a few days during their Feb school holidays (15-23 Feb). Only QPR home game in that period is Friday the 14th. No ticket information yet, but should we be able to get tickets for a family of 4? For that day we need to take the kids a day out of school also, so if you guys think tickets will be a problem, we might as well pick dates later in the window. Have to book flights and hotel soonish. |

Thread | Expiring contracts
at 07:33 1 Sep 2024
For as much as we (are allowed to) know, who are in the last year of their contracts?
Cook, Colback, Frey, Anderson in the 30+ bracket. They all seem to enjoy what they are doing now and for lack of offers from elsewhere considering their age, might stay on. If featured in our plans of course.
Paal, Chair, Dunne. Who else? The younger lads are a tougher sell to keep hold of, I think.
At this stage I would like to see the bulk of them, if not all, stay on. All depends on how the new lads settle in and Lloyd, Kolli, EDB, etc progress enough to become regulars.

Thread | New SKY deal
at 05:17 10 May 2024
“That means each Championship club will receive around £5.7m per year under the new domestic deal.
Meanwhile, the EFL announced this year Pitch International and Relevant Sports will distribute internationally, in a deal worth £147.7m over four years.”
How much did we get before? 5.7m seems a tidy figure we can use to plug a few gaps.
I’m not sure how much of the international part we will see, the distribution between the EFL leagues is not specified. But every bit helps. |
