Think we need a good few players still even if we get hernandez. I think when considering promotion whatever quality you think you need, you need to then double it, then think promotion. Because look at Derby for example. A team far better on paper to us and still lacking that last bit to get out of the league. I'm afraid to say that I don't think we will get out this league unless we spend big and sign 3-4 top quality players for the league in a transfer window. Because if we finish midtable again our best players will leave as we have all seen before season after season.
For me we need a holding midfielder, a CB and another player with that spark to make something happen.
Hernandez might be the spark but you need a couple players that do it if it's promotion you want.

You're half right imo. Proper management and coaching works too.

Northernlad you could also say take Leicester City a team who on paper should be struggling to stay in the premier league actually winning it. It's not about teams on paper.

I suppose your right. But that's exactly the reason why the Leicester city story is so unbelievable. It's not going to happen to us. The last team I remember really being a surprising promotion team was palace when they finish bottom of the table the season before.
Management can make a big difference, but you need a really good team to escape this league with any certainty.

I'm going to be controversial here.
Though Charlie Taylor didn't have a great game on Saturday. Did ok but didn't seem to want to pass to Roofe.
It's a no brainier to me, Roofe has pace and trickery so give him the ball. Remember Dorigo, Wallace and Speedo. Two passes and were in their penalty area!
Perhaps Charlie just doing enough so he doesn't get injured before deadline day?
Still like to see us get Rico in his place.
And we still desperately need a centre back. Bamba didn't look too hot again. Silly little mistakes which ultimately will cost us points.
Hernandez looks a good signing.
Nearly there. Perhaps 2 more decent players and we are close.

thanks for the update and assesment sounds fair to me, one good tough as nails cb and I will be happy enough I think we are ok in other areas although birdcut would be good.

all these signing but still need cover at the back.

Cover at the back. After Saturday I think we need a peacemaker Bamba and Bartley just don't like each other.

Just to up date you Mrsmith85 called at ER today to check out the same thing was told by the one staff manning the ticket desk that the season tickets were being sent out this week as were the membership tickets so you can expect them in the next few days.

Well looks like Pablo has arrived. Think he will be a good signing. Not only a game changer but a quality player to work with the likes of Viera and Phillips. Now if we can get a Czb of the same calibre we will def be challenging.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Think the no. 10 role will be perfect for him and we're well covered on the flanks now. My starting 11 for QPR assuming no more signings before Sunday.
Green
Berardi Bartley Cooper (if fit) / Bamba Taylor

Vieira Phillips/ Dave
Sacko Hernandez Roofe

Wood

Should make us hard to beat, not sure if Dallas is match fit yet so would have him ready to come on in second half. Youthful and speedy line up but would try to peg QPR back and if you're good enough you're old enough.

I apologise for my ignorance re Pablo Hernandez . I've not heard much about him whereas I knew Forestieri was a class player. If George, Notts, Lancaster etc are right then great. I suppose he must be decent with all those games for Valencia. So, I'm more than happy to be proved wrong on this one. Could still do with Bridcutt and a quality centre back. I think it will be a big ask to get in the play-offs with Barcodes, Norwich, Villa, Wendies, Derby and Brighton all expected to go well.

Not being negative but we need a couple more at least through the door.

MM.

I agree mm But at last we sign a player that should shine in this league .
W2e need at least 3 more Brid and c/ h and creative m/ f.

Spot on about Bridcutt and a CB Mick. It's taking shape now. For me it's about a good start and keeping up momentum. Bridcut will sure things up and we certainly have enough to hit a team on the break.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Aug 2016 16:46:14
not too worried about birdcutt but enough people on here think he is needed for me to agree with them. A CB surely is a must someone mentioned wheater as free transfer he must be at least the worst we sign in this area we are so short its a worry.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Aug 2016 17:49:44
I mentioned him a number of times berm, but someone did last week not sure whether that's because he has been put in the window to get him off the wage bill or whether his contract is nearly done.
Wheater would be excellent addition in my book bags of experience at this level and miles better than Bamba.

Agree0 Disagree0

seems no brainer for me must siging usless we get someone better.

Interesting a lot of people think Newcastle will walk it. I think they'll get off to a bad start and get play offs at best. I reckon Norwich will win it and Derby will finally get promoted. Play offs could be anyone's, even Leeds! Villa will be mid table.

Don't forget them Wendies. I see them finishing no lower than 3rd.

Agree2 Disagree4

01 Aug 2016 08:33:57
hope wednies was a one off last season but sadly think George may be right, I think Norwich will finsih around 7-9, villa no higher than 14th Derby may just be the spurs of our league and always due to choke, newcastle first by a mile. One things gives villa hope is they have a good manager.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Aug 2016 11:39:23
I would have had Wendies to not do as well, but now they've signed Abdi they'll be top 6 again unfortunately.
