Dogged performance and an unexpected result. We finish in a very comfortable 15th, with the same points as last year.
Re - an earlier post.
Yes, there has been progress, although nothing to go overboard about.
Young players have been introduced. Most of last Summer's recruits have a much better idea of what is needed.
The downsides are the collapse in the Marti/Nourry relationship. And so many senior players out of contract.
Will we be any better 25/26? Depends who is Head Coach and recruitment. |

A good few years back my brother worked on Youth Development at Wycombe. They had a hot prospect they knew they couldn't keep. Arsenal were favourites to sign him but he ended up at Spurs, fell out x=with Clive Allen, and drifted down into semi-pro.
Earlier he sais that every club in the London area knew about Joe Cole, when he was 14.
Basically, if you have a decent prospect, everybody else will know very quickly. |

Despite the club PR, including interviews with Xavi Calm and Kevin Bestsey, I really can't see our lot being up for this, after Marti's fall from grace.
I'd like to be wrong but I can't see beyond a limp defeat.
It may be more interesting listening to the fans to hear what they are singing. |

2nd para hits nail on head.
We've not had a single report re the U18s this season. Not a team sheet nor scorers. Only news is when 1 goes on loan, e.g. Ridwan Hassan. But, even then, zero feedback. |

I know that 4 of the side that beat Burnley have had some First team action this year. FYI Morgan, Bennie, Kolli and Sutton.
How many of the others can go on to have an EFL career? If not with QPR, then slightly lower in the pyramid. |

We managed to hang on to Sutton. Hopefully, we can use the progress made by him, Morgan and Kolli to persuade him he's got a chance. Rather than being forgotten about in a PL Academy. |

Days of speculation. Loads of worried fans. Finally, QPR make a decision to end the speculation. As per usual, its the wrong one. |

Yesterday rumours about Darnell Furlong coming back. Today Dijksteel. That's 2 RBs already. Seems to indicate Dunne will be on his way. |

At the time, Marti was 1st choice, but, IIRC,we couldnt/wouldn't pay the compensation to Hammarby. |

I think it's likely but not guaranteed. If we have Smyth, Yang, Dembele, Chair and Sutton, how much do we need another midget winger? |

Allegedly, its Marti's representatives talking to WBA, not Marti himself.
But I do agree this needs sorting, NOW. |

Allegedly, WBA are going to have to cut costs. A number of well paid players set to depart. |

Lost 4-0, after 0-0 @ HT.
2 penalties for first 2.
C'est la vie. Hopefully better team and result on Wed night at LR. |

This needs to be sorted ASAP. One way or another. Ideal would be a joint statement from Nourry and Marti.
I won't hold my breath |
