Comment | At least they won the sack race – Oppo Profile
at 15:00:25
I have been following Johnny Kenny since he played junior football against my son. I believe he has the ability to score goals at this level, but it won’t be easy in this set up and hopefully he won’t get off the mark on Saturday. |

Comment | Good point, bad point - Report
at 21:58:01
Cheers Clive, definitely a well (and hard) earned point. I think our away performance at WBA last season was one of our more inept, so this was somewhat of an atonement. Just on Cirkin, having read the Sunderland fan’s post on the forum, I thought he would be the absolute mustard and was feeling sorry for Kemper and his ill-timed injury. Obviously Cirkin is working his way back to full fitness, but I haven’t been over-whelmed so far. |

Cheers Clive. Wonderful prose in the opening paragraphs. Teaching my students about the aesthetic use of language so showed them the this. Had to vet it of course but the first three paragraphs were safe! Not much else to say except you finally got to give Obikwu a match rating! |

Superb tribute to Adel, Clive. The epitome of a flawed genius. Great to relive those magic goals, but the assist you mentioned at home to Coventry was breath taking and my all time favourite Adel moment. |

Cheers Clive - games coming thick and fast for you too! I think the ‘lukewarm’ response to the other night (football wise I have no interest in what they play running out) came from the last 20 minutes and us sitting back (being pinned back?) which we didn’t do at Blackburn and took a little of the shine off the win. If we had been one or two goals further ahead, it would have been a much more joyous reaction. |

Cheers James, pretty much as I saw it (on the telly). There would have been no need for squeaky bum time if we had put the game to bed after goal two. One minor quibble, surprised you rated Adamson lower than Mbengue. Thought the latter was poor throughout, with his positional sense, lack of awareness of what’s going on behind him, lack of threat going forward and giving Willock the freedom of the left wing. Thought Adamson improved things when he came on. |

Comment | Have QPR finally cracked this transfer window business? Preview
at 11:11:07
Thanks Clive, an excellent summary. Certainly lots to be hopeful about. With the summer officially over and the window closed we can thankfully focus on the footie now. One area the club can still improve on is comminication. Finding out that Walsh had joined Wigan because he was spotted taking part in a fun run is unacceptable. Likewise, both Cirkin's and Lamptey's transfers seemed to catch ye guys on the hop. I dont mind unexpected transfers, good fun actually, but journalists closely affiliated to the club should be given the heads up. Its just good manners |

at 23:10:52
Excellent report Clive - good times indeed. Found the line “QPR are accumulating assets rather than selling them” a little disquieting in the context of the ‘model’ But I guess if we are flying high then bids will come in for our better players in Jan. Lamptey was excellent but not MotM imo. Edwards exuded class from start to finish. |

Comment | A concert six months from now – Report
at 00:30:50
Excellent report Clive, frustrating but as you point out, we wont know the full context for some time. Just going on the highlights I felt Kone was a little unlucky. He had one flicked effort similar to his goal against Coventry only further out and the keeper made a terrific save. I think he is better when he is instinctive than when he has too much time to think, like the one on one's.
I like the fact that he brought on both full backs and made 4 subs at the same time. He said in last week's interview he was going to be more demanding of the players. To do that credibly he must also apply that to himself, the early signs are good. |

Comment | QPR complete much-needed goalkeeping overhaul – Signing
at 14:35:52
Great piece. It will be very interesting tp see who is first choice. Difficult to see Charles not starting, but Ward getting game time would be more beneficial to us in the long term.What I would like to see happen (assuming we dont make it to the Prem) is for Walsh to come back having had a full L1 programme with Wigan and compete with Ward for the No1 shirt in 27/28 |

Comment | End of Term Report 25/26 – Goalkeepers
at 12:31:02
That’s a fair and balanced summary Clive, thanks for that. As you know, I have far more faith in Walsh than you or many posters. I believe he will be number one next season and I don’t feel that is an indication of a lack of ambition, just a recognition that we have more significant positions to address, like LB (although I also think Larakeche will play pre-season at least if he has fully recovered) and CDM. But the playing out from the back must be dispensed with or Walsh will suffer. |

Brilliant work Andrew. Even a small amount of data makes my head hurt, but you made it understandable and relatable to what we watched with our own eyes. Score more and concede less and we’ll be grand. |

at 16:16:15
Cheers Clive nit just on this report but on another remarkable season of insights and some hard truths. When all around us the club is slipping you remain a beacon of light and common sense. You should probably re-title yourself head of common sense actually. One little gripe I have far more faith in Walsh than most and don't usually comment on your ratings But 4 is unjust and suggest he played worse than Vale. His save in the first 60 seconds was brave and alert and worthy of a 6 by itself |

Excellent tribute, Clive - thanks for putting this together. He will be missed, maybe not every game, but where we have to stand up and be ‘men’, he will surely be missed. |

Cheers Clive, a very thought-provoking piece. On a completely different note, I was told by one of my student’s the other day (a big Arsenal fan) that Leon Scarlett’s sister plays for the gooners. |

Very amusing report, Clive, cheers. Actually wasn’t the worst game I have watched this season. - Oxford away took that ‘honour’. But it probably was the most disappointing. Because with nothing to play for, I was expecting a rip-roaring, high-scoring, nonsense of a game - instead we got the exact opposite. And that wasn’t just cagey Roy’s fault - we were equally insipid - although for the life of me what he hoped to achieve by dragging out a nil, nil draw is beyond me. |

Cheers Clive. After that horrific four game winless run and the concession of 12 goals, I had given up on any chance of a + or even 0 goal difference. And then of course in the next 3 we have clawed it back significantly. I deffo think we can chip away another couple of goals today - going with 1-3. Smyth, Kone and Vale. |
