Still No Striker

had hopes for Helguson this year but seems to have had a poor pre season

Vine - good player but not a goalscorer and maybe not fully recovered from injury

Agyemang - Shite

New Italian guy - no idea but not expecting much

Taarabt? Think he played up front against the saints and impressed.

Hasn't young Balanta knocked a few in pre-season as well?

I'm more alarmed at the lack of full backs to be honest.

 

[kevin gallen]

They are both good players but seem to be more midfielders than strikers to me.

full backs are a worry all right. find it annoying that QPR have continued to stack up midfielders without looking at the obvious areas where players are badly needed.

saying all that i reckon if we get off to a good start we will do well this year.

No harm missing out on Lita anyway. I think he's over-rated.

What do ye think of "Player"? I don't like that you can't let a video load and then go back to the start and watch it the whole way through. Can't download the videos either. Pretty crap imho, unless you have good broadband. Haven't tried listening to a match live yet. With the BBC showing highlights on Saturday night, is it worth it? I wonder..

 

[kevin gallen]

had world for a while. was crap so got rid

nothing more boring than listening to football players give their thoughts on upcoming games.

 

[Stan Bowles]

I just signed up for player, seems ok. I had world a few years ago and it was a bit shit. I'm hoping the highlights will be a bit better now. Only £4 for the month, if it's still shite then I just won't renew.

Sounds like we're all over Blackpool.

As I type that we go one nil down. Fuck sake.

Norwich have lost 7-1 at home to Colchester! What a nightmare.

Nice to see Lee Camp keep a clean sheet for Notts Forest. At least they had the decency to not allow Blackstock to play and get a few goals.

Good that Duff scored. Hope it gets his confidence up for Ireland. Sounds like it was an entertaining game.

Disappointed to draw, but of anyone I wouldn't grudge giving the two points to Ollie... "My boys are disappointed we didn't win but I have to say I'd have felt like a complete robber if we had won."

Bit of a QPR related rant here. Sorry.

Why do they keep starting Agyemang? He isn't a striker. He can't score goals. Agyemang got an assist in our 5-0 over Exeter. That's hardly good enough. Pellicori was our first striker this season to score a goal and his reward was to sit on the bench for all of the next match. Maybe there's issues with his fitness, I don't know.

I think it was expecting a bit much starting Faurlin the other night. Would have been better bringing him on as a sub when the pace has slackened imho.

Bah.

Come back Gerry Francis. All is forgiven.

[kevin gallen]

same ol story it seems. very close to being a good side but falling short. Reckon we will get someone in before the transfer window closes though most likely some injury prone hasbeen like Helguson.

Rowlands coming back will help i reckon. him getting injured last season was when everything went to shit.

 

[Cryptid]

Maybe problem solved with this new kid from Arsenal? Jay Simpson.

From what I've seen on player, we're playing some of the best football we've played in years, but with some pretty bad finishing. Taarabt is really good.

 

[Stan Bowles]

You won't win anything with kids.

I read somewhere that Flavio was getting all manner of abuse thrown at him Tuesday. He'll be on his bike soon enough, leaving us hugely in debt and facing bankruptcy, you mark my words.

 

[Cryptid]

He's not exactly Mike Ashley is he? At least now we have really good footballers like Buzsaky, Leigertwood etc and we're not back against the wall every season. I stopped reading all of QPR message boards because of all the hate directed at the board. If he does leave QPR, it's not like we could actually be much worse off than before he came along. Personally I'd like to see Paladini walk. He seems to be responsible for the worst of our dealings e.g. selling Blackstock.

 

[Stan Bowles]

JM publicly slated buz after Tuesday too, I reckon he might go as well!

 

[Cryptid]

Indeed. If we don't get a win against Scunthorpe on Saturday, which could well happen, it could be the beginning of the end for Jim.

Could be worse. We could have Roy Keane in charge.

 

[Stan Bowles]

I actually meant buz could go. Contract up at the end of the season, and for all his qualities he's ether injured or more recently not giving a shit.

 

[kevin gallen]

The QPR boards are pretty painful at times. If QPR lose tomorrow it will be two weeks (int break) of pure misery and if they win it will be unbridled optimism.

Impossible to predict how this campaign will go but there is no excuse for not at least challenging for the playoffs.

Can't see Briatore walking away. His ego and wallet won't allow it.
