I always said Smyth was decent and should never have been let go.
He has improved under Marti, but Marti has let Kelman go out on loan. And then Marti has decided not to loan Kolli and so far Lloyd go out on Loan, which means they are above Kelman and younger; that should tell you a lot.
We should sell Kelman for £2m in summer and this would mean we would not have to sell any of our other assets for another season as we have to sell every season. |

Sell him to Brum when they come up, they will buy anyone.
Also, with those stats he looks good on paper now but we know this is not his level.
Best to sell while his stick is so high, we failed to sell Dykes when Millwall wanted him for £2m and only got £1m from Brum in the end. And we were lucky to get that.
Flog him for £2m; someone will pay it. |

No, it's not.
When the fascists come for you, then you will see the difference. And no, Stalin was not left, just like Hitler was not. Those killers were fascists. These lot are big business whores, not quite fascists, but when the crunch time comes, they will side with them. Farage is only waiting for it to happen and to step in.
A real Labour government after WW2 gave us the NHS, Wages Council (the precursor to the minimum wage), Nationalised Railways (as they were private before), and 1 million new homes in their first year of office — yes, in the first year not five years later in the first year of office!
Remember, the economy was way worse just after WW2 than it is now. Not only that, there was no infrastructure like materials readily available (all used up by the war), fewer tradespeople (dead or injured in the war), and none of the new fancy tech that we have today (computers to aid design, mega cranes on mass, mega trucks to carry it all around, mega drills to put in foundations and the list goes on) and the super big one, absolutely no money as the country was totally bankrupt. There is no excuse for "we have no money" because a previous REAL Labour govt did it. It's not fantasy; they did this, and it's already proven as being possible.
That's the difference between the left and right. When the REAL left gets lucky and is in government, you get all that and more. Now, if you look at Starmer, his government has promised 1.5 million homes over 5 years. This was a promise. But even that is a pathetic 300k per year, and they cannot even do that—only around 200k this year if they are lucky. That's how you know this lot is NOT the REAL Labour left (apart from a few lefties at the back whom the press slags off all the time).
Even if you're a Tory, you should ask this question of this government because we all should ask this, which is ...
"Why can you not build these homes like the post-WW2 Labour government actually did in one year?"
We should all ask this question of this government and keep asking it and all the time. If you're on the right and don't ask this, then I shall call you out as a snowflake who is more interested in someone's personal organ plumbing than putting plumbers to work on the economy.
I said it before, and I shall repeat it (and I said it first before the election); you cannot trust Starmer as he's more of a liar than Boris. He is a corporate whore and liar. He lied to his party, he lied to the country, and when we go to war against whomever, he will lie again.
That is why I call him TFS (Two-Faced Starmer) and you should too! |

No, if they can claim that even the rejected players get a contact elsewhere, they can claim that their academy makes you a pro footballer one way or the other. That's a big draw for parents who don't want to risk that opportunity.
Spurs can now add that they have lower-level affiliate clubs just down the road at places like QPR. Even if it does not work here, they will take your little Kevin Won or Kim Smith. Look at Morgan as proof.
For us, if Smyth plays left, which he can do, and Yang on the right with Dembele down the middle and also LLoyd up front, now that's a very fast front line.

Reply | Chair new contract?
at 11:31 26 Jan 2025
Chair has been with the club since Jan 31st 2017 I believe.
With this contract, we can assume at least 2 years, so we would assume he could make it to 2027, meaning he would have been with the club for over 10 years.
He should then get a testimonial. How many players get testimonials these days, especially attacking players who actually play well?
Last testimonial I remember was for Macca, unless there was another?
If we get a testimonial, does this mean we get to see Adel, Rowley, Cook, Slim Sinton, Holloway, P.Furlong, take to the field? Possibly against a Morocco select 11, seeing as there is plenty of them that play over here and in Europe.
All fantasy I know! |

I am hoping Santos takes Ashbys spot on the bench. Otherwise, what was the point in signing Santos at all. And if there is no point,t we need to let him transfer out in Jan for minimal, as we got him for nothing anyway. |

So, that means QPR won't take him back unless another club wants to loan him before the end of January (unlikely) and Richards himself is willing to go to that other club, which would be at most L2 or SP2 (unlikely). That is so unfair on Richards ... err ... nobody ever said.
He's staying at Cambridge, where he will have to turn up and train. Otherwise, I bet he can be fined. That will be mentally taxing and stressful. It could even wrongly and allegedly result in another physical injury, allegedly.
Soon, he will be in the last year of his contract. I expect him to start playing great, and then we will loan him for the last year to some club in Poland, probably for free, yet he has to pay his own expenses.
He will go to show what he can do, to convince another club to sign him in L1, and also because it's super cheap over there. No doubt many girlies want to be married to a UK footballer who is young enough to get into the Prem and the mega riches (even though we here know that may never happen ... allegedly).
Then there are the Holiday clubs in Hong Kong, ala JET and Todd Kane, with eventual retirement due to an unresolvable injury. It's all very sad ... for QPR.
After all that, it's a new adventure to be a Football Agent, as he has been through it and understands the pressure for young ones, unlike the tired old men type agents who talk on shows about how the clubs let them down with his 'struggles' and personal trauma.
He will now be fighting the good fight for all the other new young players coming through (while taking 25% ... allegedly). Not to mention that he trained with X stars at Brighton before they became stars, knows them well, and is not surprised as he always knew they would make it (not revealing that he's also their new agent ... allegedly).
It seems the career is all mapped out and thought through. Top strategic planning there.
Well played, son. |

The lure of Sheff Utd is that if he goes there in the January window for a small fee, we get something for someone who was gone on a free at the end of the season.
Jimmy would reluctantly go as they are in the Premier League next season. He would get a contract for way more money than we can offer, and usually, these contracts increase if the club is in the Premier League. He may even get a few Premier League games. I mean, if Manning and Lums can play in the Premier League, then anyone from the Champ can.
Well, anyone apart from Madsen and Ashby obviously. But we used to say that about Manning and Lums so....
If, he has signed then it probably won't be announced until we lose again. Thats what happened with being battered 3-0 by Swansea, we got the announcement of the 3 contracts signed for the kids. Don't look at being battered 3-0, look over there with the 3 younglings signed. Distraction from Norry and it worked!
As we haven't lost for a while, it's hard to tell :P
Also, by delaying announcements, someone could come in for him in Jan, and show their hand. And then Norry says, sorry, he's on a long-term contract, but now we know you want him, let's talk really money.
This trick only works for a few weeks during the Jan window, and probably not if the club does not have the real money anyway. After that, as Norf says, everyone in the industry knows a few weeks later anyway. |

Whits could not be arsed against us; only in the last 10 mins did he have a go to try to be a hero and get a goal back.
It didn't work, so now I suspect he wants out while there is a window. He is a very skilful player, more RW than CF despite his height. Its a shame when players phone it in, at least always angry Bannon has never done that. |

He just came back from injury and then some tough games with Plymouth and Dull. Kolli was off as well, but note that Chair assisted Kolli the game before.
Should start against Sheff Wed and I bet he does well. |

The link is that both of them have pace, and as we can see, some teams (not all) don't like that. Also, they run, run, run, so there is constant pressure from them.
What Lloyd also showed is that if you put yourself about and in their face you can sometimes win things, something Celar does not do and as we can see its not hard. Scoring the two goals at Cardiff was more difficult and skillful for Celar than charging into people. So, really there is no excuse not to go all P.Fulong/Hugill on them as it works! |

Reply | Ashby injured or hooked?
at 13:36 22 Jan 2025
Even if he was injured its not a good look, I think Marti will place him at the back of the queue now. Welcome to the land of EDB and Santos, the forgotten men.
But I don't agree that he sees himself as bigun.
I think its the opposite, he's trying too hard to impress and getting it wrong. Hes trying to look good so, he gets picked up by a club and he can see here we are going places with this manager. In addition Dunne could be off so, this makes him think he has a chance to get established as a RB at a London club. Hes actually worried he's not gonna make it and overdoing it.
Against Dull, he was all over the place in his passing. Trying to do way too much, rather than just hang onto it and keep it really simple as were winning easily by then. Marti tried him in a RM role and he blew his chance. Santos would have played better.
Maybe Marti will try him again if were 2-0 up, but there is no way he will play him unless injuries force it. And as all the defenders are coming back, chances for Ashby will be at the Santos level now as Marti does not suffer this. Kakay was not this bad and as I said before can carry the ball and should have been tried in the middle instead of us suffering Dozzell for years and now Madsen.
Ashby is still young, can learn. But time is running out and he needs a club he can play at. I am not sure QPR is the place for him. Orient could be a good move. |

Don't forget the extra time board that says 15 mins (large enough so the ref can add some more on) until they get a penalty and then only if they score it.

If he does not get results fast, he will be gone.
You cannot expect the players to fight for you if you're slagging them off. Many managers have been out due to this alone.
This is going to be super fun. |
