Who out there is beginning to think .......

[Mark1]

This could be OUR YEAR and the RZZZ are finally on the march back to where we belong!!!

[Dando]

am definately more optimistic! Still a bit unsure who would start up front, but think the goals will go in regardless. Id say our weakest positions are left and right back - but could be worse. If these were improved, i dont see why we couldnt go for automatic promotion

[Gtleighsr3]

Not getting carried away at all,wait and see till after xmas then if injury free,good pos,and some cash to spend then maybe.

[Mark1]

We are finally getting a very skilful attacking squad - FACT

[oldhoop]

I am getting very excited. The most I have been about the R's in years

[Youvebeenrangered]

Im optimistic! Think we could do well.

[Rebel R's]

optomistic we will improve on last years position

[QPRDROG]

Ill tell you after Southampton It will be interesting to see our first 11

But really looking forward to this season. Best squad we have had in years.

Give us a striker now who scores goals and I'll join your party!

[QPRbob]

I agree with Dazzer, a striker bought in before the start of the season and then the party has well and truly begun.

I think too many people are getting obsessed with the phantum 20 goal striker as an essential piece of the puzzle, when it certainly isn't.

As good as it is to have a main man it also creates it's own problems in that they become the focul point of nearly all attacks with others looking for them, sometimes to the detriment of the team. Also if they get injured then there is a massive hole suddenly.

It is much better to have lots of people sharing the goals with many in double figures, and our squad is perfect for this... Buz, Vine, Taraabt, Rowlands, Routledge, Pelicori, Dave and even Helgussen could all faesibly hit double figures if played enough.

Look at Utd in the mid 90's.... Hughes, McClair, Giggs, Kanchelskis, Cantona, Sharpe, Beckham, all getting plenty of goals each, but nobody with loads,and they dominated for years.

Later after they sold RVN the team started to play better and more people got a better share of goals. Exactly the same happened to Arsenal the seeason after Henry left... they were flying but eventually ran out of steam.

At the end of the day as long as the team scores plenty, and i'm certain we will, sometimes for fun, i wouldn't care if nobody even had double figures if everyone had 9......

Wins aren't worth anymore if your "main striker" scores the goals so what does it matter....?

Good point, the last time we had a 20+ goal striker we got relegated.

[Mark1]

Agree 100% - Better than relying on 1 player, to have a host of players that can chip in with goals

some seem to think Tarrabt will be a miracle worker,and be our 20 goal a year player as well,he isnt and he wont.as of yet our forwards are the same as we finished last season and that is a worry.
