Thread | Pre Season 2025
at 11:37 11 Apr 2025
Dear Nourry
One of the small joys in my sad life (QPR wise) is to visit whatever training matches we have abroad pre season in a small attempt to imagine what European qualification would be like.
Be it Italy, Austria, Germany, or Bahrain.
With that in mind could you PLEASE fix it for me this year to let us have an open door match? Was gutted to miss it last year. The caravan in Swanage with the missus I went to instead just doesn’t cut it.
I know this may come across as spoilt or entitled, especially with new exotic fixtures in North Wales and Stockport on the horizon.
Yours,
G Haddock |

Who needs strikers anyway? God knows who’s playing but we usually enjoy a bit of momentum after a win.
Big impact from Kolli expected amid the hype.
I’ll say a Leeds style draw 2-2. [Post edited 10 Apr 14:39]

Thread | Injuries Data
at 16:54 7 Apr 2025
Can't think of a season injury wise like this one before, except maybe the season we had to play 36 different keepers, but it made me wonder if the increase is trending across football in general.
Apparently it is generally, in the elite leagues anyway.
Came across this which I found interesting reading:

My guess, it's down to contract uncertainly and forcing transfers. Players in less secure circumstances are going to treat slight injuries more seriously aren't they.
Haven't seen this raised in the football zeitgeist but interesting nonetheless.

I mean, I don’t have the list of who’s is ending in June, but it’s playing with fire trying to ensure survival with half your squad needing a new club in three months isn’t it?
How can you expect any of them to put their body on the line when their financial security is doubt or they are courting new clubs.
Would also explain a lot of the injuries we’re getting. [Post edited 6 Apr 7:56]

I mean, I know we (the English) have always taken the piss, but I’ve just seen their U21s got walloped 1-6 by Iceland U21s.
Any hope for them? I thought things were looking up last summer. |

Thread | Goals
at 12:06 18 Mar 2025
So, I keep seeing a lot of calls for a 20 goal a season striker.
Me, less so and here's why:
Obviously, If/buts/maybes, at this season's scoring rate (goals per minute), this is how many goals each player (who's scored this season) would theoretically get over a 46 game season:
Kolli (28)
Kelman* (21)
Frey (18)
Lloyd (13)
Celar (9)
Madsen (7)
Saito (6)
Dunne (6)
Chair (5)
Colback (5)
Dembele (5)
Field (4)
Andersen (4)
Fox (4)
Edwards (4)
Cook (3)
Paal (2)
Smyth (2)
So, based on some oversimplification, injuries and poor selection are our problem not lack of goal scorers.
Something to hang some positivity on anyway.
