And played in a defence that has been consistently worse than we have been this season, when by all accounts we were terrible. Another bog standard at best Championship player who has a short shelf life here unless we keep selecting managers whose primary aim is to not play much football. Link to post Share on other sites

I think he was in favour of the Mccormack chase all those years ago and maybe when we signed Adomah he thought it was a good signing my memory is fuzzy recent years I don't remember too many kind words for new signings. That deadline day we were all trying to be positive about Kai Kamara he was just ripping into our recruitment and that was what 7 years ago he's been very consistent on this. I mean he's not turned out wrong on alot of our recruitment over the years looking back lets hope when we look back here Hall proves him wrong. Wow forgot about him I'd have prime Carayol and Adomah from that front 4 at the club now, not so much Emnes and Kamara mind Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 How have our fans managed to establish his wage at our club when he not even signed yet? Some real investigators on here. Your talents are wasted on here I feel. Go work for Mi5... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

QPR's defence has only conceded fewer than 60 goals once since he's been there. We conceded 61 this season and people thought we were absolute ***. This season QPR conceded 76.

Who was the last player we signed that you were genuinely happy about? Has there ever been one? Hardly any at all over the last few years. I'd struggle to name any off hand quite honestly. It's been one mistake after another as far as I'm concerned, and they were mistakes you could see coming a mile off, which makes it worse. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Unless he's taking a pay cut to join us, and I can guarantee that he hasn't, then it's just piecing together information that's out there and coming up with a reasonable estimate. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, was gonna say, he's apparently turned down £12k at QPR and what, he's gonna accept that or less here? No chance. Link to post Share on other sites

QPR's defence has only conceded fewer than 60 goals once since he's been there. We conceded 61 this season and people thought we were absolute ***. This season QPR conceded 76. True but we conceded 20 more goals this season than last season and Dael Fry played the most minutes out of our defenders 19/20 and 2nd most minutes 18/19. He's still capable of playing in a defence that concedes 20 goals less, it's other factors such as new manager, attacking full backs, different defensive partners, etc that led to him conceding 20 more this season. QPR play attacking football they were the 5th highest scorers this season and Mark Warburton is generally an offensive style manager, this comes at the cost of conceding more goals. I don't know that much about Hall but I'd wager if he joins us he'll concede less goals this season than last Link to post Share on other sites

If its Gibson Fry Hall and Friend as our CB options then am happy with that as our CBs. Britt Martin and Fletch as striker and that is strikers sorted. Let me know whats next. I will sort the entire squad out before day is over. This rebuild is easy work. You're the Director of Football Gibson doesn't know he needs. Link to post Share on other sites
