| Is the season over? 20:36 - Jan 19 with 3340 views | Gloucs_R | Unlikely to go up or down.... Hopefully we will get a top half finished which will be massive progress. Should we concentrate now on blooding younger players and giving them experience at playing at this level? Appreciate we are having to do that anyway at the moment due to injuries. If so who would be the two or three players you would all pick that you would like to see given more time on the pitch. |  |

| Is the season over? on 20:48 - Jan 19 with 1951 views | Malintabuk | Logically I guess you would say that we are pretty much stagnant this season, though there are still a few games left to play Personally and I think the club professionally will keep aiming to finish as high as they can... and that means think they will put out as strong a team as they can... injuries allowing. I can't see too many left field selections, for me I would like Sutton to get a bit more game time especially with the injuries to the wide players we have I like to also see Bennie rotate with Kone and Koli .. in fact I think if not careful we are going to burn Kone out, and we may even give the new lad a game or two I also think we have to closely look at Madsen, he also has had a long season already, it is just unfortunate that there really is no like for like replacement.... in this respect I feel JS needs to change the system to allow Madsen a rest |  | |  |

| Is the season over? on 21:33 - Jan 19 with 1765 views | nix | Bit early to give up. Only takes three or four wins to change your position in the league. Having said that I wouldn’t mind seeing people off the bench. Adamson and Esquerdinha as wingers added a bit of oomph against Stoke. Wouldn’t mind that again while we’re missing so many. |  | |  |
| Is the season over? on 21:55 - Jan 19 with 1678 views | ted_hendrix | I tend to give a huge sigh of relief when we reach 50 points. We should somehow find a way of asking supporters who fork out an awful lot of money each week to follow QPR home and away If we should be blooding Younger players, of course the club aren't going to be able to ask supporters that question, but all the same If I was to turn up at Blackburn next February and see a staring eleven with too many youngsters In the starting line up I'd be pretty pissed off. Without question we should attempt to win our remaining fixtures and yes I accept the necessary need to give youngsters the start but we should be looking up the table and doing our utmost best to get our arses up there. Its a bit Catch 22. |  |

My feelings exactly. Injuries have killed this season, and if we're being honest we have exceeded expectations so far. Keep going, but I had us top half, top 10 at a push, which is very achievable. Next season is the one where we start to challenge and been saying this for 18 months. If they sort the CM out. |  |

My view the.like for like replacement for Madsen will be Edwards. With Cook Dunne and JCS occasionally we will see Edwards get game time but not neccessarily at centre back. You heard it here first. NUMPTY ITK !!! |  |

We'll rest our players for the cup so we can lose the following week in some awful league game. At least we corrected that for West Ham. Hopefully Nourry understands this should be for all cups, everywhere, not just when we have 9,000 away tickets sold. Now we are thinking of building for next season. Can't we give it a go now? With our model we have no idea when we are going to have to sell an asset so perhaps we should be going full bore every single game we play. I know that is outdated, but hey. For me - long-term thinking = Loftus Road, training ground, infrastructure. Football matches - best possible XI on the pitch every single league and cup game unless it is mathematically impossible to do anything in either direction towards the end of a season.

Hang on a minute, why are you having a go at the club here? It’s not the club saying that they’re downing tools for the season, it’s just some bloke on a fans forum who tends towards the negative suggesting it. I think we’ve pretty much played our best available team for most of the season apart from when we’ve had to rest players who were knackered/injured, one cup game when we had loads of injuries and hadn’t got our transfers in, and WBA away which was a mistake as we could have won that but was the start of the frenzied Christmas period so is a bit understandable. |  | |  |
| Is the season over? on 09:57 - Jan 20 with 862 views | themodfather | the hope is, a team always makes a late surge to top 6 and it COULD be us? or we do our usual plunge and drop near the dreaded DZ . maybe we get players back and other teams pile em up and have suspensions? |  | |  |
| Is the season over? on 09:58 - Jan 20 with 861 views | TheChef | Was thinking that this morning about tonight's game, I'm feeling fairly ambivalent about the result even if I'll still be shouting at the telly. I think it is basically over. I don't think we're so bad that we'll go on a dreadful run and be in danger of the bottom three (over to you, QPR...). Equally we're not good enough to go on a decent run to threaten the top six or even top ten. Of course all the injuries don't help, plus the manager's occasional brain farts, playing inverted wingers, etc. 16th. Sigh. |  |

Not specifically having a go at the club, by "we" I meant the fans who are suggesting building for next year. At least the club had a proper go at the FA Cup, which I acknowledge, but I do still think there is still far too much obsession with three game weeks and fiddling about. Just my view. |  | |  |

I agree, Gary. We're four points off the playoffs with nineteen matches to go. If we were four points adrift at the bottom we would be fighting hell for leather for every single point, so why not now? Fitness and injuries can be addressed mid-season. Get that right and we're in a great position. This is a great opportunity. |  |

I think/hope that is the manager learning about a new league, and he'll know better in the future. Assuming he's still in the job, etc. |  |

| Is the season over? on 10:15 - Jan 20 with 799 views | Lblock | Can we get another 14 points on the board asap before we even think about "seasons being over"? Besides........... seasons normally end in May. Until such a time that the last ball is kicked in the last game then everyone connected to Queens park Rangers Football Club should be giving 100%, no less. Then, after that last ball is kicked, those responsible for things off the pitch need to continue giving 100% and be sorting out the medical and fitness side of things plus planning for next season and the one after and the one after..... A win tonight in another Association Football match will be most welcome. Thank you. |  |

Sutton has gone back out on loan for the rest of the season I understand. To answer the original question about 2 or 3 players I'd like to see more of whilst pushing to get as high up the table as possible:- 1. Kone - I'd like to see him prove me wrong and hit double figures. I've never been convinced and remain very much in the to be convinced camp. 2. Kolli - loads of people I know don't feel the same positivity I do about this young lad. For me I can see talent in him, what I need to see now is robustness and a goal every two or three games. 3. Poku - said back in August we've signed a crock and I still think the club will be lucky to get 50 sets of 90 minutes games out of him over his 4 year Contract. I would love him to string a run of games together over the back 9 of the season and again prove me wrong. |  |
