QPR match thread

I'm still shocked we didn't buy a striker in January, when we didn't I assumed Benik Afobe must be on a fast track
It seems that the compromise of Titi on loan was made so we could wait for Podolski
Can only hope that is not a mistake that costs us big time in the race for the CL

We should have paid the extra for Podolski right at the beginning of the transfer window + given them Chamakh and Park on loan to fill in (may as well pay their wages in Germany where they might have increased their value)

I haven't even watched the highlights of QPR, gave my tickets to friends and went on holiday instead

Think I've missed half a dozen domestic games now and 4 of them were defeats!

I've wanted us to make signings and was wrong
- if we had bought a keeper summer before last, like I urged, Szcz would never have signed a new contract

On this - hold tight for Podolski - tactic I just don't see the logic of sending Afobe out on loan
yes regular gametime might be the best thing for his career right now - BUT he's already better than Chamakh or Park
why is Afobe's development taking priority over our league position...?
