I really think we need a ban on AI slop.
(a) it's not good
(b) it's depressing
(c) anyone can type it into ChatGPT and get the info themselves
On the topic - I think Boy Kemper on a free looks like a really clever signing. Decent attacking output (he can cross, shock horror) but also physically imposing and an experienced grown up with leadership credentials.
We need a few 'men' (c) McLaren to go with our boys, and Boy could be The Man. |

You've got the wrong end of the stick Hammersmith.
The piece isn't saying these are players we are looking at. It's saying, based on the data, the players we could / should be looking at.
I doubt we'll end up being in for any.
That said, the same guy did list Madsen amongst our options a couple of years back - and presented his data set. We went on to sign Madsen. |

For me, it goes back to Warburton.
Best manager we've had since Warnock but a country mile.
We should never sacked him. It looked mad at the time and so it has proved since.
He turned us into a play-off contending team on a very limited budget.
Brought in Willock, who for my money has been our best signing in recent years. He brought the best out in BOS.
We looked drilled, professional and coherently coached.
We looked like a proper team. |

He’s just not a very good goalkeeper. At all.
I mean him no malice, I don’t enjoy it being the truth - but he isn’t good and he doesn’t possess the natural skills to become good. He’s not really good at anything.
He reminds me heavily of Matt Ingram. Also a bad keeper.
So yeah, nice lad, but has to be let go and replaced. |

There is no way Burrell can play in the Prem with that first touch. He needs a lot of work.
But if improves his technique 10% to 20% he’ll be a valuable asset |

Big fan of Brannagan. Leader, spiky, nice clean crisp passer, keeps it simple in the middle of the park. |

‘My pet dislike’ suggests it’s irrational
It’s utterly rational.
The evidence is out there on the pitch every week.
The confidence in him is irrational. A pet like for many of our fans based purely on the fact he’s 24 and plays for QPR.
Zero comparison with Brevett and Impey. Zero. |

I find it surprising many can’t see how unathletic he is.
Watching him ‘dive’ to save a slow basic shot is like painful three stage movement. It’s like me bending down trying to pick the post up off the floor.
He’s so slow to react. So unlithe. There is no spring in his movement.
He also just causes panic by dropping endless ricks. He was very lucky to not concede two goals yesterday that were entirely of his own making.
He just does not possess any innate goalkeeper attributes to my mind. |

This is my point. There is no comparison so I really think it’s a waste of time.
There is ‘needs developing’ and ‘devoid of any of the raw skills needed to be a good keeper’
Sadly, Walsh is the latter.
Doesn’t matter how long he plays or for who, he will never be good enough for this level. Sorry. |

Chill out Myke. We're allowed to disagree without getting all shrill about it.
I'm allowed to have a different opinion to Brian. I massively respect his take, there is zero ill will between us, but I have never seen Walsh be good at the skills mentioned.
A few lucky leap and hope star fish saves here and there but nothing more.
I think he's a very poor shot stopper. Very poor on crosses. Very poor with his hands. Poor with his feet. Just a bad keeper
It's not a vendetta, it's what I've observed and it's what I think. Sorry. |

Reflexes, footwork, jumping, catching.
I’m sorry, for me, we’re simply not watching the same goalkeeper Brian. I think he’s shown to be poor at all of those and that’s just in the last few games.
But I hope I’m wrong.
Stats are pretty damming though and back up what I’m seeing. |

Look I don’t want to personally attack the guy - it’s just a football thing - but he is a very poor keeper. It’s not about time and experience etc etc it’s just basic innate ability.
He’s got poor reaction speed, very poor diving, poor reach, poor hands, he can’t even really jump. Oh and his feet and distribution is poor.
I’m sorry it’s harsh, I have no personal ill will, but it’s just true.
We’re here to build a team to win football matches. When he plays he costs us points.
Now I giesss it’s somewhat satisfying those (shockingly) stats prove what I have been saying and the point of my original post but honestly you only need use your eyes.
This is not an experience thing. It doesn’t matter how long Walsh plays in goal, and until what age, he will never possess the raw talents needed to be a goalkeeper at this level.
In fact I dont think he’s really a league keeper full stop.
Now if someone disagrees with me then I challenge you to name just one standout or even good attribute he possesses. What is he good at? |

Can someone tell me what particular standout attribute they 'rate' about him?
If I was to set you the same task for Cook, Edwards, Dunne or even a (fit) JCS, the answers would be very easy.
I think with Morrison you'll find it much more of a struggle.
And if the best we have for him is 'passing' (which I personally don't see either) then, for a centre back, we've got a problem.
He's the kind of player that probably looked exciting at 18 but simply hasn't developed physically or technically since. |

Ok.
So I forgot Jake Clarke-Salter existed.
I literally just forgot.
Is he injured again?
If so, his injury record is the worst I've ever known of any QPR player and that includes Matt Rose. It's ludicrous. |

If they keep Joe Walsh as our number 1 they're blind and know nothing about goalkeepers.
Can someone please name one stand out talent or attribute he is supposed to have?
I think you'll struggle.
Lovely chap, loves his mum, bad goalkeeper. Sorry. |

Yeah he did well and worked so hard. I agree he looks lighter and sharper to me. I think they're working out his conditioning.
Felt for him as he yet again carried the ball and worked space on the left of the box, looking for an option in middle, only to see Kolli ambling into the area, instead of busting a gut to get to the near post as he should have been.
Big fan of Kolli but that was sloppy and I saw Kone got absolutely furious about it, with good reason. |

Anybody got any intel on how he's doing at Aberdeen?
I seemed to be one of the few that didn't rate him at all - for me he was too slight, too slow, not strong in the air, a bit meh at everything and one major rick per game.
However, I'd be glad to hear he's stepped for the Dons. With Cook almost certainly leaving it feels like there is a back up centre back position up for grabs. |
