Personally I think that any premeditated act which could reasonably have resulted in death but just by sheer luck hasn’t should be treated in the same way as murder for sentencing purposes. The intention and the recklessness towards someone’s life is still there.
I don’t believe in the death penalty for a number of reasons, not least the miscarriages of justice we’ve had over the years. |

Reply | Which player do we think is going to be the stand out this season
at 12:55 6 Aug 2026
Madsen could be found out more this season but then on the other hand if we have a fit Poku, a more experienced Vale, a contribution from Chair and Lamptey we may have the creativity spread out more around the team whereas Madsen held a lot of the responsibility last season.
It COULD mean we’d be harder to shut down as there could be more players other teams would have to stifle. Obviously this is all based on a unicorn season where we don’t have injuries to all these players. |

I’d love to see Lamptey have a come back season. I remember thinking what a great little player when he started for Brighton. If he can get anywhere near that form he’d be a revelation for us.
In fact I’m going for Lampbenge as our stand out player(s) swapping assists through the season. |

It’s worse when the Premiership clubs do it, especially the bigger ones like Chelsea and Spurs (no offence to Fulham!) because the ticket prices are such a small part of their commercial revenue. So they could subsidise a small part of their legacy fan base and still afford to pay players £350k a week.
In the lower divisions the ticket revenue is still a largish part of our overall revenue so we have less money to play with to subsidise fans. Not saying here that we should try and squeeze out our loyal fanbase btw! |

I agree.
One of the pods had us at 17th. Not because we have a poor squad or manager or had got worse from last season but their reasoning was that a lot of teams had spent even more.
We should obviously be aiming for 8th but I don’t think top half would be failure. Anything less would be a disappointment. |

Didn’t Chair have bone bruising too? I imagine it’s a hard injury to come back from because the only treatment is rest. But then it means you’re coming back from an almost zero level of strength and conditioning, so more likely to injure yourself again. That’s exactly what happened to Chair who spent almost all season getting niggles and never really being fit.
That sounds like a plausible reason for him to be taking a while getting fit again. |

I don’t get this thread at all. Is there any evidence for this claim or is it another conspiracy theory? I haven’t seen any, issues about this player related to previous clubs. It seems unfair to imply things about him based on the fact he’s been injured since joining. |

Yes me too re Madsen and Kone.
Taylor Richards was hopefully an entirely different situation. I can see that was a tricky PR tightrope. I’m not expecting Obikwu to make a Kone type first impression but if he’s a decent back up that would be great news. We can’t flog Kone all season again.
Far too early for me to draw any conclusions or make any predictions about our injury record this season either positive or negative. Boring maybe but it’s wait and see for me. |

He seemed to find it hilarious. You have to be a QPR fan to die a little each season. |

Probably because we were told quite clearly that Lamptey wasn’t going to be available until September. Equally pointless talking about Dembele atm until he is closer to playing again.
Fantastic news about Nico and Obikwu. I’m glad they’re being careful with both of them so they hopefully won’t break down again. |

No unfortunately you generally only get a percentage of the profits from the sale not the revenue and they sold him for less than they paid us for him. |

It’s not too late. He’s 21. Alfie Lloyd went out on loan at 22. Paul Smyth went out on loan and came back a better player. Charlie Kelman also went out on loan at the same age and improved. It was also good enough for Chair to go out on loan in his 20s to a League 2 club. It doesn’t have to be all season, just until January. I’m sure he would benefit from it. But if he won’t go then there’s not much the club can do about it. But to be clear, I think he should go out on loan for his own development as much as the club’s benefit. |

Genuine question but do you think it depends on the oppo as well? Whether teams are high press or give you more space for example?
I’m also not sure whether it’s better to stick to a formation or whether players can be flexible enough to adapt throughout the season depending on availability of personnel and the teams we ‘re playing. In theory I’d quite like us to be adaptable. |

That’s my issue with him. I don’t think he can be bothered to learn the boring bits of the game. He’s certainly very talented in front of goal and with the ball at his feet but pressing and challenging off the ball are weak areas and we can’t ignore them. Seeing Bennie playing for Dundee Utd he was really working hard to win the ball back and I don’t see it with Kolli. These days you can’t have luxury forwards because teams press as a unit and someone who does it halfheartedly leaves gaps. It’s like when Andre Gray played for us. Scored plenty of goals but we looked so much more open when out of possession when he was playing.
That’s why I think he should’ve gone on loan and why the club wanted him to. Not to humiliate him or downgrade him but so he could learn from probably a load of seasoned pros who would just tell him. Half a season playing regularly would have done him the world of good in League 1 or 2. It was good enough for Eze and Chair and didn’t seem to hamper their careers.
He’s obviously bright enough and talented enough but just not sure he’s humble enough. |

The thing you can’t really tell from watching them once or twice is can they improve. So we had Jack Clarke at QPR and he wasn’t anything special for us even though he cost £10 million as an 18 year old. But he obviously continued to improve and is now playing back in the Prem and is still only 25 years old.
This guy looks like a prospect. But will he continue to work at his game, to want to learn, to be able to step up against harder opposition, when there’s less space and more pressure? Will he be able to do it consistently or just occasionally?
That’s why no club can 100% get it right and with young prospects. You can look at a player’s character and narrow the chances of making mistakes but there’s a reason for Clive’s 100 matches in the Championship before they are really good enough but also have they improved enough. |

Yeah. I’m sure I’m not imagining having them hanging around for years…players like , Greggs-Cox and Shodipo seemed to hang around for years with no real improvement.
To me that’s progress if we’re moving them on and having someone else paying their wages.
It certainly doesn’t make the original signing a success obviously but it does mean that the process appears to be tightening up. That’s not a conclusive judgment of our entire transfer system atm, just that bit of it. And frankly I’m not guessing any club goes round saying in public, well that was a sh*t sighing. For no other reason than it would be a pretty disrespectful thing to do for the player.
I don’t use Twitter much so I don’t read that stuff. Seems pretty poisonous. |

Yes very unlucky not to get at least one assist out of those chances. Only saw the last ten minutes but he looked very direct and decisive compared to some of the other players on the pitch. Would be surprised if he didn’t get more minutes in their next match. |

I agree. We probably do need an experienced CM to replace Hayden from last season. And yes you can’t ever really assess a player until you see them playing against Championship opponents in a competitive match.
But there are some things that look good about this guy and the way we get through players these days he looks like he could come and do a job, which is exciting. |
