@Sufc_alex07 @QPR had the game of his life against us for Stoke a few years ago

@QPR Just shoot lads, if it’s Davies in net you’ll easily get some goal difference back

Team news is 𝗜𝗡! 🗞️

@JL_Hoops Starting to think we might be moving Celar on as well

Are we saying both Frey and Celar are injured?! Club keeping it quiet?

@r_insights23 JS said him and Frey back in full training after this weekend but who knows

Does anyone have an idea on Varane injury length? Not liking this

@W_QPR1882 I think we’ve got to get a solid LB in - he might have improved but he was miles off it with us

I'd rather us develop & break in Larkeche this season then loan a player & develop them for a prem club. He's shown enough to be given a chance at least & with Bould to coach him then he should develop nicely #QPR

@owenthfc__ Miles off of PL level atm though

Dead serious when I say I prefer him to Dibling

@jamezqpr1 It’s never going to be the perfect time so if it ends up being the case, go up, enjoy playing against the big teams and see if Nourry and co can get it right

Saw this on @LoftforWords forum the other day. Thoughts?

@AnalyticsQpr Interested to see how we set up in midfield. Feels like one where we only need one of Field and Varane with more craft around them.

For Rs a v different type of opponent tonight. OU a v low possession, passive team, so for Rs a potential departure from the generally transitional focused, reactive style which has characterised things so far. Interesting to see how QPR adapt to that potential shift in approach

@UpTheRs probably, yeah

3 points Celar goal Happy fans Is that too much to ask?

@QprTalk_ @OptaAnalyst We don’t have anyone who can/wants to run in behind to get onto them anyway

No Championship side has played less through balls than QPR this season (4)❌ Via - @OptaAnalyst Do we need to start playing two up front to trouble opposition defences more? #QPR

@johnMyaWilliams @LewQPR He means Boro away at the end of 22/23 when we lost 3-1 I think - surprised the keeper from 35 yards

@LewQPR Good shout but that was that ridiculous Dozzell shot and one from Colback. You thinking about the Sunderland one??

When was the last time QPR scored a direct free kick? I remember Chair at Sunderland 2022, sure we got one last year but nothings coming to mind

@pj_pard Helps that he was also the one reviewing the application

Nourry is one of those guys who does the gag of applying for a top job at a real football club using his Football Manager CV as the basis for his application, and rather than responding with a jokey formal rejection letter of their own, they've handed him the keys to the kingdom

@soulguru We’ve signed players that suit a style where we have the ball high up the pitch and play in tight areas and create chances when that’s nothing like how we actually play.

This guy … CELAR … how can he play for my team? @QPR How has he not been managed / coached since September to CHASE/HARRY/FIGHT/COMPETE/LEAD? The most ineffectual and toothless striker I have ever seen at Loftus Road! Abysmal. He must never start for us again.

@HoopsDreams_QPR He tried one tackle… but the Boro player pulled out and he ended up booting the ball backwards 50 yards

Nicolas Madsen Vs Boro: Tackles won: 0/0 (0%) Ground duels won: 0/3 (0%) Aerial duels won: 0/1 (0%) Successful dribbles: 0/1 (0%) Accurate crosses: 0/1 (0%) Worth noting neither Morgan or Varane won an aerial dual either and the whole midfield only managed 8 tackles (6 won)

@AnalyticsQpr Are they counting the Isidor rebound in that Sunderland xG? Pretty sure the linesman had his flag up but they played on as Nardi caught it? Can’t remember any other big chances for them

Forget the red card, and heightened expectations as a result, Rs first half numbers (against the team top of the table) should provide more optimism. Did create a couple of decent chances, albeit fortunate to also concede #QPR

@dave_barton76 Clearly not the type who chases down lost causes - suited to a particular style but is that one that’s ever going to be how we play?

Not a big fan of Celar but not sure what people expected him to do today, we defended deep for a point bit harsh to give him stick

@UpTheRs @QPR

@QPR Well why do we have 2 keepers on the bench?

Goalkeeper Nathan Shepperd has joined QPR on a short-term contract, having spent the second half of last season with Wycombe Wanderers 🧤

@pj_pard Probably fair to say too good for the dev squad but not up to the level in the champ. Needs to go off and get senior mins

Why is there such frantic debate about Rayan Kolli? Shown fuck all at the senior level to date hasn't he?

@JBTC39074087 No other option now, got to play his way into form

Start Celar Saturday. I know he’s been awful but I feel like he’s lacking confidence and feeling pressure more than being a lazy player etc. I just feel if he gets one goal he might kick on. Don’t get me wrong has been very poor so far. #QPR

@AnalyticsQpr Agree, think his better spells have been playing further forward against Luton and Sheff Wed with 2 sitters behind him

Wouldn’t mind seeing Madsen start in Number 10 role against Burnley. Felt Dembele went missing on Tuesday and, given Burnley’s physicality, feels like we need more ourselves there. NM covered a lot of ground last season for Westerlo, but often more advanced than so far at #QPR

@UpTheRs Might be one of those where when a team has time to prepare for it he'll be targeted, but think we have to find ways to get him into the team either way

I’d happily start Saito at LWB at the weekend, looked really decent there👍
