That's hardly a ringing endorsement of our much-vaunted development set-up. One player from that age group is playing for relegation-threatened Morecambe in the National League. Many others playing at clubs in tiers 2 and 3 of the non-league pyramid. There are at least three previous players who were rejected by QPR but are now featuring for better teams in the Conference league. Players being: Gubbins and Kendall at Southend and Drewe at Woking. There's Arkell Jude-Boyd, another of our former young players, now in his second season at Cheltenham in league 2. Are these young pups any better than the names above. Just curious.

If you want to highlight players who've left QPR.and gone on to have a career, what is Josh Laurent doing in the PL, with Burnley? |  |

And there is one from the Development squad in years gone by, that we let go for an undisclosed fee (probably 2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps) now playing in the Premiership with Burnley... Josh Laurent. |  | |  |

Let go by us, then let go by Brentford in his early 20s. Never played for either. If Harvey Elliott hadn’t been swiped by Fulham, or Sterling bought by Liverpool, we’d have a bit more to talk about. |  | |  |
