Weeks? That is optimistic my friend. We will probably still be discussing if he coming on 5th October... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Z3man 28 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Did Grant hall play in any of QPR's nine games since the season restarted after lock down. Just trying to gauge where he might be in terms of match fitness. Link to post Share on other sites

It's a defender of the type Warnock would want and by the sounds of it the type of character Warnock would want. That's an improvement on some of our business over the past couple of years, where you couldn't really see much logic to what we were doing 👍 Very well said CT and suggests an observation recently made that we should all know what to expect from Boro moving ahead. There maybe a few "groans" about certain transfer activity but the underlining feeling is that Warnock will get the Boro going in the right direction which I can certainly live with due to the fact that we will witness stability and a style of play far far better than we witnessed of late. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Duvel 2,446 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Warnock was never my ideal manager but I do have trust in him at this level. If he has free reign in the transfer market without the chairman interfering then I expect us to get the experienced and battle hardened players that he wants. We might not be the best team to watch but I think he'll have us somewhere close to the playoffs next season. Hall sounds like he'll be a decent signing from what I've read about him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
edinboro 815 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 QPRs record after the restart was pretty shocking. And Hall didn't play in any games. I'd expect him to be back in training now to get to the right level of fitness. On a slightly different note,I'm gobsmacked the players have been allowed to go overseas on holiday. Training will start in a week or two and most will have to quarantine. And I'm sure Warnock will be pleased to see them sat in bars knee deep in bottles of vodka and beer bottles. Not a good look for footballers in 2020. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

They are like any employee with a contract, and I can’t see a contract having clauses banning you from a foreign holiday. To be fair to them, even if they earn a lot, having booked a holiday they won’t want to just lose the money - and a lot of the place now requiring quarantine had a lower infection rate than England a week or two ago, so many players won’t have seen a risk.

If the current situation in the world dictates that most clubs are simply trying to survive over the next 12 months then we probably have the right manager. He's experienced at working with tight budgets and getting the best out of players. The trade off is that our style might not be the most pleasing on the eye but I was happy with Pulis initially and would have sacrificed our style under him for promotion. Hopefully Warnock's football will be a bit more positive than Pulis' was, actually I can't imagine anything being that negative. Link to post Share on other sites
edinboro 815 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Will be interesting to see if there is a 2 week lull in signings due to players all having jetted off. As most seem to be in areas that now need to stay at home on return, could have an impact on things. Championship squads next season are going to be very interesting. Transfermark has Rhodes out of contract. I'm probably alone but I do really like him. If he is left to roam the 18 yard box he is really effective. Link to post Share on other sites
