| A (new) Goalie or Bust! 13:46 - Jun 21 with 2960 views | QPRtampa | Like the signing of Boy Kemper, and am hopeful we can retain all of our attacking threats in Kone, Burrell, and Kolli. The biggest signing looms: a new #1 goalie. Arguably this will be Nourry's biggest personnel decision to date. No offense to Walsh, but he's not a Championship calibre #1. Want to dream about promotion? Get a stud between the posts who's got skill, leadership and moxie. |  |

| A (new) Goalie or Bust! on 16:56 - Jun 21 with 2647 views | bosh67 | I think the pathway for young keepers is hard. Walsh shone in the few cup and end of season games he played a few seasons ago but for some reason the jump to week in week out has been very tough for him and he's obviously a confidence player. Once that goes it's a huge problem. He is, like many before him a good shot stopper but again, like too many others, not a keeper that commands his area, smashes players out the way to claim crosses or catches much. Ben Hamer was one of the few, even at 105 that I've had more confidence in. He could catch the ball. So we need someone who has some experience, perhaps is later 20s and who knows how to catch a ball, shout at his defenders and be the steady Eddie we've been looking for. He doesn't have to be spectacular but he has to be a keeper who is reliable and solid game to game, even if we lose. |  |

| A (new) Goalie or Bust! on 20:54 - Jun 21 with 2169 views | Padulas_Shampoo | Wasn’t there a rumour or article or something circulating suggesting that QPR bosses think they’ve spotted a gap in the market by racking and stacking developmental GKs to supply to the whole of Europe when they inevitably become a Lev Yashin production line? Something to do with academies or scouting of GKs being disproportionately low. I can’t remember but I’m sure I read something like that. Anyway if so it ain’t going great so far is it? |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

They do have to be half decent for that to work. |  | |  |
