Thanks for the clarification. I didn’t realise the cut off date was 1jan.
Good news in that it keeps options open. |

Thread | 25 Man Squad but 26 players

Now the window has closed it looks like we have 26 over 21s but can only name a 25 man squad.
Assuming the spare is either Kolli or Morrison then what happens to them between now and the next window?

A campaign to get rid of Infantino and reboot how FIFA works is overdue.
Good article here from the Guardian which talks about the campaign.

Gently now. Numpty set this up in error. He posts a lot on here and is generally pretty reasonable and supportive of club and posters on here. |

I hope Stephan will be here next season. He's done ok, the season has played out like this:
- first few games - adopts the 'game model' - it fails.
- he changes it after Cov - then we have 18 games up to xmas and we're doing ok. He's putting his stamp on even if some of his team selection and speed of substitution haven't been great at times
- since Jan the injuries have ripped the creative heart out of the team and we're over-reliant on youngsters and weaker players
Clive's point about - at this point in the season the richer, better resourced clubs start climbing the league - rings true - just look at the benches Southampton and SheffU have and look at ours.
As players you can work as hard as you like - and I think they do - but most of the time your going to get unpicked by teams like that.
In the WLS interview I noticed three things
- he look deflated - partly I expect he's looking at Boro and Brum and wondering how we'll get anything our of those games.
- asked about injuries - he said 'I'm not involved' - that said to me he's not happy about the state of his players
- about Sam Field - he said 'we allowed him to go' - so that was a joint decision. So that tells me he's properly involved in decision making, and taking responsibility.
Overall - I think he's trying to be honest as well.
So, I expect Boro and Brum to be a 'disapointment', probably Leics too. But - I hope by Portsmouth we'll have some players back - and he'll have some options and we'll have some joy.
I also take heart from that, apart from Ipswich the last nine games are all winable. |

Not sure what was said. But pretty clear from their expressions the players were apologising. A couple of people were gesturing at Mbengue who didn't appreciate it and he was hauled away.
Mbengue worked pretty hard in that game.
Interestingly, when Mbengue turned to clap the fans - there was an appreciative "Mbengue" chant from quite a few. |

Spot on Jez
I clapped for all the same reasons.
Plus, I respect that they came over to apologise, Jimmy held his hands up.
I really don't understand the people who were giving out to Mbengue when he came over to apologise. You can't accuse him of not working hard.
We've all messed up at work. When that happens, do we really expect our bosses to sneer at us, call us w**nkers and walk off. No, especially not if a few days before we've done something really good (whatever your equivalent of winning at Hull is).
It's about respect. |

Mbengue and Kone - boy have they both suffered and fought for their chance in life. Both young men still learning and working hard for the team - even if they don’t always get it right.
Glad they are ours! |

The language re Sam seems mutually respectful.
From what I see of Sam I think he’s a professional on and off the pitch.
I hope over the summer a good future is worked out for even if we lose him. |

Spent yesterday evening trying to get my head round that ending. Entertaining game, some really good moments from us. But, utter panic for three mins from the team that successfully shithoused Stoke to a 0-0. Que?
Wise woman on the Ellerslie Road on the way out, said to her kids, "that's the heartbreak of football". Too right. Poor kid. Curse your parents for your inheritance.
Sometimes the gods give us nice things, like Kieran Morgan in his pants having blown Brum away. Sometimes, they build our hopes only to kick us in the nuts.
Thank God it's only a game. |

Gonna switch to ignore ‘cos he’s such a bore
And escape from Stainrod's bitter land
Apologies to all for the appalling doggerel.

Do you know what stunned me? Just how long it took the announcer to read the list of former QPR and Southampton players who died in those two wars. I was genuinely shocked.
Looking it up - 28 QPR/Former QPR players served in WW1. 10 were killed. More than 1 in 3.
I knew about 800,000 British soldiers died in WW1 - but it's hard to relate a number like that to real people.
But, that list of names. I just thought of the survivors looking at a team photo post-war and seeing the faces that didn't live. |

Sadly, a 35% home win rate is right on par for lower-mid table.
I was thinking about your comment and I expected the % win rate to be higher.
Looking at the last five years we've averaged W/D/L at home of 35%/27%/38%. The average for the teams finishing between 11-20 place is W/D/L: 37%/26%/36%.
That works out as on average teams placing between 11 and 20 get 32 home points and we average 30 points.
That's not to disrespect your comment - but I guess it's about expectations.
For me what was disappointing was that a poor Southampton team were there for the taking and we didn't. |

Wow - that could be very good news.
I was worrying it was a two year deal expiring Summer 26! |

Madsen seems to be developing from a talented young man into a real player. Well done to him, JS and the club's coaching team.
How long is his contract?
Is it too early to be talking about negotiating an extension?
And the boy deserves a song! |
