What have we leaned from todays game?

[Awin]

No.. Ive always hoped and believed it to be the case, today simply confirmed it

[Kevin Mcleod]

Sorry mate on phone and thought you were jogon

[Glevum_Hoop]

Diakite impressively, erm rebooted

Hall doing a better job than Scorchio, has he gone?

Perch, likes a tackle, but better RB than CB

Polter is Zamora not Austin. Win the ball, hold it up, will score a few, but not banging them in for fun a la Charlie

Corners and free kicks sorted with Chery

JET and Gladwin will provide the "did he just do that?" Moments.

There will be a collective intake of breath every time Ale goes in for a 50/50

Comms stated Scorchio let go as not good enough.

[Glevum_Hoop]

Midfield.

Chery, Faulin, Doughty, Mackie, Diakite, Henry, Phillips, Gladwin, Loungo, JET, Toilet, Fer & Sandro.

Not bad for a championship side????!!!!?????

[Fordy]

Dont rate Doughty from what I've seen of him, but really like Kpekwa.

The attack will be of great concern this season without Austin or an adequate replacement. We will sit there watching and wondering whete the goals will come from.

[Qprtanpa1]

Decent even if we lose Fer and Sandro is never cleared to play.

My big concern Stan - that midfield should hold its own in this league but you need to be able to hurt people in the final third. Charlie stays, happy days but I am realist and know that he will be gone by the end of the window. In his place we have Polter who looks ok, JET who has spent the last 2 seasons as an impact sub as he doesn't consistently put a shift in for 90 mins and a couple of EDS strikers who will probably run hot and cold due to age.

As said many a time before if Charlie does go we need to invest a very big chunk of transfer fee on a proven goalscorer - Lambert would have been perfect but sadly has gone to Albion

Comms stated new player registration has been requested for Sandro and the hope is that he will be back to UK soon to start preparations for season.

I like Doughty

[ArcticHoop]

How's that Hall looked? Worth to sign? 45 minutes is a very short time to make judgement,but can't wait too much longer,if we want some cb's

[Shania]

I saw at least one good report regarding Hall, ArcticHoop. He is a (former?) Tottenham youngster who played for a leaky Blackpool-team last season.

I thought he looked calm and assured, and good on the ball. Did well I thought. Asked a spurs mate about him and he said he's a good young player that never quite made it at spurs but could do ok for a championship side.

polter looks like a target man in Zamora's mold (won't score many either). As for the EDS strikers they'll do well to a) get in the team and b)actually score more than once or twice all season. Quite frankly QPRs youth players are 3rd rate.
i doubt very much that they will spend much of the fee they get for Austin £2m at best. Even then, it would probably be for some striker with 'potential' who'll be no better than Steve Slade was in 1996.
