I am not pressing the panic button yet but none of our strikers have scored 3 games in
Mind we are playing well but in the final third our strikers were found wanting, asking all the questions but no answer
Is it a concern? Bolton match seems to suggest that, we had plenty of opportunities but couldn’t put the ball in the net
With Kolli out of favour and Obikwu years away?
A premier league loan maybe? |  |

Irrelevant if he is never fit to play.
The key metric for any genuine success this year is availability. Kolli has been here for years and we have barely seen him play. Utterly pointless, even if he does have a quality shot in his locker. |
You may have a point but you're overplaying it. Rayan has 53 senior appearances over 3 seasons. You also assume he's been unavailable only because of his fitness when it is likely the club has chosen not to play him because of internal issues.
To clarify, I do believe there are problems on his side but that also goes for the club. |  | | |

Kolli has a much better goal ratio. Lloyd is a non scoring forward whats the point? |
the much fabled goal ratio argument , ok lets break it down
one stays fit and works hard and the other dosnt ,
ones aval ones injured
ones a benefit to the team the other has more talk about him not plahying than players which do on a reg basis. |  |

All a bit of a strange situation with Kolli, think he would be really good at Birmingham, may get a lot more from him than us, if we are to believe that his time is up with QPR. |
What makes anyone think that Kolli will join another club and miraculously get fit and train properly, start most games and score loads of goals? Far more likely he will soon get himself into the same situation where he is with us where successive managers have not picked him due to his issues. And he won’t have the extra time and support given to him by QPR fans as he’s one of our own. |  | | |

And one "striker" has scored 3 goals in nearly 60 senior appearances. We have defenders with better goal ratios. |  | | |

Is Dom Ballard any good, 23 goals in 44 games for Leyton Orient last season in league one? Any better than Lloyd, who played on loan for Lincoln, and won promotion? Them two, now playing again in the same league, who’s better?
Wonder if there’s any League one prospect à la an Ollie Watkins?
The talk of another striker will be deferred till January transfer window, we will have to make do with what we have,
There’s talk of a new signing, the Obikwu, yet to grace Loftus Road | |

Well Kolli hasn't been loaned out or sold so I am assuming that everyone has forgotten he managed to injure himself pre-season and perhaps he's working his way back to full fitness and a place in the squad. Otherwise he would have been loaned out or sold.
NB- Just realised the loan window doesn't close until tonight in the EFL apparently so we'll see. I really hope he stays because he's a goal scorer and one of our own. Surely what most club's model should be for youngsters. [Post edited 1 Sep 10:32]

rowlands broken leg

Ballard went to Bristol City, reportedly for £5 million so too much for us to spend. |  | | |

and the argument fails when hes never fit to play , and yet again hes not to fit play so he could score 1 in 2 games and still be no use atall as hes injured yet again, your argument is spot on but one small point to be a footballer you actually have to be able to play it on a week by week basis or maybe im just old fashioned thinking that | |

Injured or insufficiently fit? Madders hasn’t looked that fit, Kamara and Curkin missed pre season and are being eased back in. It’s pretty clear it’s not just about being injured, Kolli wasn’t taken on pre season to Austria for being insufficiently fit. I’m not defending him on that but think it is also about management. We can argue till the cows come home and the club clearly agrees with you. But don’t be surprised if in 20 odd sub appearances this season Alfie gets maybe one goal. It’s all fine when we are winning games, but will fans be quite so tolerant when we are chasing games and Alfie comes on and falls over trying to get a shot away in the dying minutes? | | | |

The thing is it shouldn't be either Lloyd or Kolli they both could be on the bench. The club imo have managed this situation terribly. | |

How have they handled it terribly? They can’t play him if he’s injured, not even from the bench. If he won’t go on loan at 21 when he’s not the complete player then that’s on him not the club. Smyth went on loan, Eze went on loan, Chair went on loan, Lloyd went on loan, Kelman went on loan, Cooper went on loan and all of them improved as a result; what is it about Kolli that makes him so special that he can’t go out on loan. Yes he’s got an excellent goals per minute ratio but managers don’t pick him, often not even for the bench - not just Stephan but Cifurentes too. Now that’s either down to injuries, fitness, gaps in his game or attitude in my view. I don’t see how any of those make it the club’s fault. | | | |

I don't trust Nourry and I still think he has more say in team selections than is let on My guess on this is it stems from Kolli and the canteen incident with cycling Ben. Someones nose was put out of place and that has caused this ridiculous situation. But as i say thats just my take on it . . | |

Send in a question to the fans forum on September 16th Connell.
Christian Nourry, Julien Stephan and Jimmy Dunne are all there to answer peoples questions.
I think this bust up is overblown and convenient too.
Kolli was on The One Show around 18 months ago as a successful professional footballer explaining Ramadan. He isnt a successful professional footballer yet as he has had few opportunities but generally he has been a flop so far and if its true he turned down loans previously thats not great.
Seems he will be here. He needs to knuckle down, prove he is a team man and focus less on talking to all the fans and media. Improve his overall conditioning and prove his worth.
I personally thought he could be a superb player for QPR. ,Currently I dont think he will have much of a professional career ahead of him. Its a feeling I have just from the general noise around him.
Lets hope I am wrong. [Post edited 1 Sep 19:45]

If you believe that then you don’t think much of our manager because I don’t think any manager worth their salt would extend their contract if they didn’t get to even choose the team. Not only that but he must have been trying to mislead us all when he said that Kolli knew what he had to do in training to get picked on Saturdays.
I’m willing to believe some of the criticisms made about Nourry but the one about him picking the team has always seemed far fetched to me. | | | |

Madson was fit then picked up the ankle injury in the pre season game since then hes struggling badly it seems , he prob will but the argue,not is still there he’s Aval to play most games so yeah he prob will be all of the above but at least he’s able to get on the pitch , something Kolli seems unable to do on a regular basis , might be down to cycling Ben nourry or might just be down to the player thinking he deserves his place because he’s on of our own and gets a free pass | |
