It's a mere pipe dream at present because it won't happen any time soon, as he's hardly done anything for us.
He clearly isn't at all productive playing wide on the right, as he just cuts in nearly all the time. He/we need to establish his best position.
If the likes of Oxford, Leicester, WBA & Pompey were to win over the weekend, in games they should fancy being victors, that gap could be reduced to just 6/7 points. So the likes of Vale need to start performing for us, as they have been championed as being the new leading lights and we are now reliant on the likes of him to get us over the line this season.

Because each and every one of their outfield players has shown the required work ethic to make good the shortfall in class. Like him or not, they also have a Manager who's no novice in this league and knows how to adapt and set his side up for the different challenges that you are likely to face in this division. |

Steady. Spoiler alert: Koki Saito would be nowhere near Middlesbrough's 1st team squad. He shouldn't be starting for us.
Chris Willock in his final season, when crocked, still managed more goals and assists than smiling Saito has in each of his season's with us. Neverthless, the all-knowing DoF saw it fit to part with over £3m for a player who is so ill-suited to championship football.
Kolli has manged two goals in the league and one in the League Cup, having been afforded only about a third of the number of minutes that Saito has played. We would have been better off giving him more game time this season and spent the £3m in areas of the pitch where we still remain deficient. [Post edited 10 Mar 21:26]

Please. Madsen played against Middlesbrough away, when they tore us a new one and cut us open at will, before declaring after 50 minutes. Ipswich at home, too, To suggest that Madsen would have stemmed the tide against the same opposition today, Sheffield United and Southampton is just fanciful.
Some have said that he's Premier League quality. Not a chance. Leave Hayden Hackney aside who is by far and away the best player in this division and will be playing top flight next season and I sincerely hope that it's with Middlesbrough. Madsen is not as good as either Mcgree or Morris from today's opponents.
He's done well in a very poor QPR side but to suggest that he's the panacea to all/most of our ills. No chance. [Post edited 8 Mar 21:45]

With Norwich in time going above us and Charlton only being 3 points behind, can see us contesting 18th/19th with the likes of Pompey on our current form.
If that were to arise, doubtless the QPR PR machine will spin that as year-on-year progress. [Post edited 8 Mar 9:34]

Maybe so, but wouldn't it be wonderful if our motley crew of left-footed wide players could use their weaker foot as well as F Azeez. There's no awkwardness and reluctance in his game to use his weaker right foot. That ability to use it without any hesitation led to their second goal.
It's just down to laziness not being able to use your weaker foot, especially when playing in advanced/attacking positions. Azeez came through the non-league system, whilst some of ours have been pampered at so-called leading youth academies, yet can't use their weaker right foot to such telling effect as Azeez, who cost the Wall just £1m from Reading.

I would say that the wide margin in the Titans' defeat didn't surprise me but the one suffered by the Eeels did. I expected the Storm to win but not so comprehensively.
Had Penrith not squandered a number of scoring opportunities against the Broncos, that could have been a blow-out score and it would have been merited. Penrith have managed to keep all their top roster players for the first time in about 5 years and the pressure is off them this year too. Players like McLean and Talagi will become better players after last year too.
Interested to see how the Broncos deal with the pressure that Penrith have handled so admirably for the last 5 seasons. [Post edited 7 Mar 12:31]

To Oxford's credit they have taken the game to Preston, had a decent number of shots and weren't too bad when in possession. Here's hoping we can do similar in some of our forthcoming games.
Nice to see Spurs being prescient in priming Will Lankshear for their championship campaign, next season. |

Another great Nourry-influenced signing. Add Saito and the Aussie triumvirate. Yet, Pompey, on a smaller budget, can identify one very talented Aussie in Segecic, the same age as ours but is already championship capable. Can add Dembele and Varane to that list, for mine.
Clearly not going to recoup our outlays on Saito and Celar, that's for sure. Getting a great deal more than we paid for either Varane or Dembele doesn't seem likely, either. |

Did we really pay that much for Saito. If so, surely Nourry's tenure as DoF has to be called into question and terminated.
Millwall paid circa £1m for Femi Azeez, who is everything that you would want in a wide player and improving year on year, which is in stark contrast to Saito. They both started their championship journeys at the same time. This can't be true. |

Exactly this. I can recall when we played Barnsley at home and within about 30 minutes were trailing 0-2, Warbs took decisive action immediately by replacing at least two players and moved Kakay from the left-back position.
That's what leadership should look like. [Post edited 1 Mar 9:56]

Mercifully, we are just about there, but I wouldn't be too dismissive of Pompey. About two weeks ago, they played a stronger Sheffield United team than the one yesterday with 5 or 6 changes, and they played well. Unlike us, they were unlucky to lose very late in that game: 1-0.
They also have a long list of injured players but are still able to be competitive in nearly every game since the new year whilst operating on a smaller budget than ours.
"Positive": Sam Field's performances for Norwich may mean that we receive a bigger fee
than first anticipated, because we ain't going to be getting anything remotely close to the purported figures that were being mentioned for not so super J Varane. [Post edited 1 Mar 9:36]

Sideways Sam's preceived inability to get involved and contribute in advanced areas of the pitch to any telling effect, has been dispelled yet again. Well done Field. assiduous as ever in your defensive duties too.
In a Norwich side that is heavily possession-based and very good at it too, he doesn't look out of place because he's a damn good player at this level.
I can't wait for Varane to replicate that level of performance later on today. [Post edited 28 Feb 14:37]

If they fail to make the play-offs, then the blame lies full square at the door of Sheffield United's board who decided to sack Wilder after finishing a clear third on 90 points but losing out in the lottery of a play-off final.
If he were there at the start of the season, they'd now be comfortably placed in a play-off spot.
Definitely worried for tomorrow as a QPR fan. |

We have an extra day's recovery/preparation after having only travelled to Southampton, which is hardly an arduous journey. [Post edited 25 Feb 22:16]

Surely, Sheffield United will be hugely disadvantaged as they are playing a tough game tonight with only two days' recovery plus probably travelling down on Friday, before facing us on Saturday. No! [Post edited 25 Feb 20:53]
