Here's a thought .... is the family stand beginning to come into it's own?
Lots of comments around young faces but is this as a result of the much hated family stand, hooking these younger fans in and they want to come back?
Been 10 years or so and we now see a lot more 20 or younger fans, who could have started coming as a result of that? |

Agree with that. It's like saying we have Field who can cover at CB just because he has played there.
Okay as a final resort but shouldn't be building a team based around that. |

Hard to get excited when we don't know the numbers involved.
Sends a nice feeling around the fanbase but that 500 left could easily be a sales ploy. Plus the renewal window isn't the same length every year. |

I think we are okay pretty much everywhere, except for in he middle.
We have Varane and Field, but not got anyone else. Need someone who is really comfrotable on the ball and to get us playing.
I don't think Madsen or Morgan will be able to do it so I would like 1 more in there. I think we have enough cover to be fairly confident going into the season.
I am expecting more game time this season for fringe players like Bennie, Sutton. |

We need wingers. Not sure we have any wingers, other than Smyth?
Lloyd is a striker and no where near good enough for us next season, certainly not week in week out.
Dembele is a number 10? Chair is better central. Vale is probably a winger but coming back from a serious injury.
Have I missed anyone? Even if we had Saito, we would need 1 or 2 more. Smyth should be back up at best. |

Not sure that's right on this one.
The agent would be telling them the fee to sign, defo.
But to say he is desperate to go there with weaken their negotiations for a higher sign on fee and wages. They would rarely say that their player is desperate to join, as if they are desperate to join, then they don't need tempting by big wages. |

Agreed, it's painful and boring to see. Most posts are the same as months ago and not even in a thread that's related to him.
If it were in his own thread fine, I wouldn't read it. But when you log in and think 'oh there must be rumours' and sift through a whole load of rubbish it puts me off this forum. |

Reply | The QPR summer managers rumours thread
at 17:13 19 May 2025
From a mixed forum I am on
On Thorup, I'm convinced he'll be a success so it's a great appointment. Our failure, particularly in the last third of this season, should have been a lesson for him as it was probably the first major struggle in his coaching career. Not to mention it was his first job abroad.
When things aren't going well coaches need their experienced players backing them, he seemingly didn't get that here. Gunn, Sorensen, Hernandez and Sainz all knew they'd be gone in a few months time. Stacey, whilst seemingly a great bloke, wasn't a regular in the side. Duffy is a bit of a dickhead by all accounts. He was getting good performances out of McLean so he was probably onside, along with Marcondes and Sargent (also probably off in a few months).
Based on what I saw in the first half of the season I'd have kept him. Most managers won't survive 1 win in 10 but I think Knapper has thrown the baby out with the bathwater. We're happy to let young players make mistakes as they develop but apparently not coaches. |

Is this actually a good final? What I mean is, would the big boys have been in here as well or is this a 2nd tier youth competition? |

Forgot about Harvey Vale. He played 35 times or something like that last season didn't he? Playing at LWB but he prefers to be further forward.
Kelman looks sharp at the moment. I am all for giving him a proper chance (he has started, what, 4 games for us? Most in the cup).
Someone mentioned he doesn't have pace ... I thought the opposite. I thought he was quick and direct, which is something we don't currently have. |

In fairness, I don't doubt it with them. They'll claim hundreds but will be around 50 or so, at a guess. |

Just had a quick look at the ground. It looks full, apart from about 20 single seats. |

Ill be there. Always a little more exciting having one of the top teams coming to town.
Shame its a 12.30 kick off though.
Shame we'll lose.
But until then, looking forward to it. |

The thing is, there is only a small window for people to buy the drinks and a maximum we can physcially sell, due to time to get served so on.
So by going from £6.25 to £7.25 (or there abouts) has probably stopped some people getting a drink, but I (and I have nothing to back this up) imagine that the actual numbers of beers hasn't dropped, due to service times and people previously giving up.
Doesn't make the pricing right, of course.
We can't do the pre pouring model as we don't have space for the pints.
I would be more inclined to get a drink at HT, before kick off, if the beer was Estrella, like what they stock in the Loft now. Presumably the catering company could swap them out. Carlsberg is a stupid choice. |

The loan signings make sense. They plug the gap and they are actually good players.
I think that some fans are disapointed (now) thast Morrison and a couple of others aren't getting minutes now that we aren't in the play off hunt.
Id love Yang to stay on next year, another year long loan would be a good thing in my mind. He looks to have talent, pace, composure and he has work rate. He isn't coming in as an ego, but hes coming in as someone who needs minutes. He is an upgrade on Smyth, and that's the key thing. Smyth is probably at his peak, and that peak is still a goal contribution every 8 games or something daft. Good impact but Smyth isn't a Championship level winger.
Edwards again is very good (though was poor on Sat) but Morrison (assuming fit, he might not be in which case it's a moot point) should be getting game time. |
