Thread | Prediction - Who gets injured on Saturday
at 09:15 27 Feb 2026
In order of the latest bookmakers odds ;
Kone (Odds on favourite)
JCS (Two minutes after coming on as Sub)
Dunne (Captains prerogative)
Walsh (Unavailable due to Sprained Wrist in Training)
Obikwu (Brought in to cover Burrell's absence - but has picked up another setback)
Chair (Fell over again between a rock and a hard place)
I may well be saying this with tongue firmly placed in cheek; or am I really ??? |

Classic post Hubble... 
Yes in the 11th minute, lets have a round of sympathetic applause for the eleven that have fallen since the Stoke game and end the round of applause with a rendition of ;
"We want Williams out."
"Say, we want Williams out."
Yes and when the guys come on the pitch with their pitchforks at half time, let there be a cacophony of boos. It's all for the greater good. [Post edited 27 Feb 9:04]

Hope your daughter manages as soon as, to find her way to a happier place A40Bosh.
Hopefully time and life experiences get her to a better place in her thoughts.
Very tough for you all. Puts into perspective the madness of football and its really not of any importance whatsoever in the grand scheme of things.
Wishing you and your daughter well. |

Numpty isnt a clue to something else, think we can all be Numpties at times.Twenty second decision when i signed up on here and am now forever Numpty.
My own personal mental health is all good these days, but wasnt always so.
Think you just tend to worry less as you get older, because you realise theres not much point in worrying. Dont change anything for the better or worse, so no point. And you gone through a few things and you realise not much point making life harder than it needs to be.
Although for me, if ever a username describes anyone who chooses to support our illustrious superhoops, Numpty could be very apt..... [Post edited 25 Feb 23:03]

So this guy was reporting on a fuel strike and he was filming at a local petrol garage.
Anyhow, he signed off saying his name.....
Phil McCann.....
Anyhow, thats actually true. Think whoever assigned who did what that day knew what they were doing !!! [Post edited 25 Feb 22:44]

There was a few of the usual suspects suggesting Stephan should not be in charge. To me, he is a decent manager, who has managed to keep us getting some results with a massively weakened squad because of so many long term injuries.
i was just saying Brian, i think we should give him time here, as keep getting rid of manager after manager has got us nowhere.
Point was making, was he is halfway decent. Lets see how he goes with more time to build.
if we got rid after say losing the next three, whats the point. We will just get another manager of similar or lesser pedigree...
But if we lose four nil at home on Saturday, the natives will be out for blood, for sure.... |

Was talking about our hire and fire after a few bad results not simply Stephan as an individual.
Sorry Ted. How many lines are you going to give me ????
Consider myself told off by loftforwords military police though....

I think we should give Stephan a few seasons here, instead of a few more months maximum.
Before i get accused of accepting mediocrity and accepting of 16th forevermore. I am not. I just think we have to give at least one of our many managerial selections, time to work here over a period of time where they can make an impact.
I just think giving a manager a few seasons to get in as many players, he also likes - appreciate some will be of the clubs choosing and working with all at QPR and how we currently operate and giving a manager time.
Tbh, if you keeping getting rid of the managers after a few bad games, that would be like accepting 16th as the dream, because thats whats happened here for years.
We beat the league leaders not so long ago and comprehensively beat the fourth team away from home, game before last. We can bounce back from this defeat. We played really well and won 3 - 1 against Charlton in the game following the 7 - 1 reverse against Coventry.
Immediate knee jerk reactions and sacking managers instantly, well they have all worked out so well. Give at least one of these guys a real and proper crack. Who knows if it will work but i think a change of approach is required now
Some were advocating Holloways time here. Yes he got us promoted from a lower quality league, but that was after a relegation. We stuck with a manager then for five seasons and things improved.
If you get rid of Stephan, you are getting a similar standard or worse candidate to have four months to a year to get it right and three consecutive defeats and we get rid and start the whole sorry merry go round agaim.
Lets try a different way and see where this takes us.
The way we chop and change so often is getting us nowhere and never will. [Post edited 25 Feb 11:07]

Not accepting of 16th at all.
Just in favour of giving a manager a few seasons to get in as many players of his own- appreciate some will be of the clubs choosing and working with all at QPR and how we currently operate and giving a manager time.

So many more things now that young people today worry about that didn't concern previous generations so greatly.
I know a nice looking woman who has body dysmorphia, who has wasted thousands on two nose jobs that no one can see any difference.
Eating disorders were more linked to women but you right, young men also have problems with such things now.
The Internet, mobile phones and filters on photos have a lot to answer for and peer pressure, as always.
I think, as a young guy wanted to look my best, so tried to wear decent clothes and went down the gym, exercised and played a few sports.
An older middle aged man. I have a couple of extra stones, and its mainly around the midriff - wonder why !!? I can't say I like seeing my side profile reflecting back to me from shop windows, but its just part of life.
But its so sad to see many people struggle with not liking themselves or their appearance.
Progress doesnt extend in every area of life - not at all !!! [Post edited 25 Feb 3:05]

In league two.
His last three seasons here, we finished 18th, 16th and 21st.
We are much better placed currently and dont go on long losing streaks.
His best days are long gone now. Blackpool 15 years ago, was his peak. Be great achievement for him if he could get Swindon promoted though. |

We have had an ok season for us.
I saw the recent Holloway rant and was actually saddened to see it. The man did not look well.
Just because Stephan doesnt rant in public, doesnt mean he doesnt care or isnt embarrassed by this performance.
You dont like him. You have made that clear many times.
He is halfway decent for me and better than most of our recent incumbents. i am happy to stick with Stephan. Chopping and changing managers all the time, gets you nowhere in the long term. |

To be honest, i agreed with everything he was saying and why he was saying this publicly and think its a better post match interview than Holloway would have done who would have gone all out on his players and so often under Holloway we went on long losing streaks as well as long winning streaks likewise.
But its true we were more than in the game until the second goal at such a bad time.
And if he throws all the players under the bus after that publicly, even though it shouldnt, that could deflate players even more.
i think most of the team know tonight was not acceptable and there has to be an immediate reaction.
Think that interview is psychollogically well thought out. ie we need the players to be fighting and competing in the next game, not frightened of making more mistakes.
He has history this season, in that on a few occasions we have been dreadful and next game has been like chalk and cheese.
For me, if he goes all out that was a disgrace a la Holloway, we go on a losing streak. This way we could turn it around at the weekend.
And am sure those sentiments were not the same as done in the dressing room. He will be pointing out all sorts of errors and tbf i think its not good to publicly humilate a team. The game itself has already done that.
We want a reaction, next game. Not a futher capitulation. |

Thread | Is it time to give Jimmy a rest ???
at 22:48 24 Feb 2026
We have Edwards, Cook and JCS all fit, we are told with a supposed top younger player waiting on the sidelines in Tylon Smith. Mbuenge at right back, who can also play centre back.
Do we think Jimmy needs a rest and Cook gets the captaincy on the pitch when Jimmy is not around.
We seem to rest certain players always when there are three game weeks but such has been the impact , the overplayed Madsen and Burrell always playing and nearly always 90 minutes too, Dunne also always plays and rarely gets subbed.
i would rest him on Saturday.
if we were following the model of loading, then would happen surely. [Post edited 24 Feb 22:49]
