TAARABT SHORTLISTED
Posted on: Wed 31 Mar 2010

R's attacker Adel Taarabt has been named on the shortlist for the Coca Cola Championship Player of the Month award for March.

The Tottenham Hotspur loanee has been in quite stunning form since the arrival of Neil Warnock in W12, contributing goals and assists, as the R's continue to impress under the new boss.

The Moroccan scored from the spot against Plymouth at the start of the month, before making it two in as many matches with the R's equaliser at Bramall Lane - home of Sheffield United.

His fine month continued with sublime performances against Reading and Derby, before he played provider twice in the R's 2-2 draw at Preston North End on Saturday afternoon.

Taarabt's rivals for the award are West Bromwich Albion's Graeme Dorrans, Newcastle United front-man Peter Lovenkrands, and Reading midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson.

The winner will be announced on Soccer AM on Saturday morning.

Good luck to Adel

[cpr]

Football League state he's a midfielder and Rangers say he's an attacker, I like that.

[moriarty]

He should win it for being so versatile.......

[Lonegunmen]

Good luck to him, he might be tempted to stay!

[klr]

Not my cup of tea, but good luck to him.

Steve Claridge Perspective on Taarabt at QPR - BBC

Q: In light of his recent performances in the Championship, do you think QPR will be able to keep hold of on-loan midfielder Adel Taarabt next season?
Mark Clare, England

I think they might, and the reason I think that is because he still has an awful lot to learn, especially when he's not in possession.

Taarabt is a talent, but there's no doubt at this stage in his career there's an imbalance to the Tottenham striker's game.


Preston 2-2 QPR
He wouldn't get away with that in the Premier League, which is probably why he's on loan at QPR, but if he starts to work hard without the ball, then someone is going to have a good player on their hands.

The bar is high at White Hart Lane and Spurs may want to hang on to him a bit longer. There's certainly untapped potential there.

Will QPR sign him on a permanent deal? It's 50-50 at this stage. Neil Warnock, who has only just taken over at Loftus Road, might not think he's his type of player in the long term.

Neil likes a specific type of player, and I would imagine he would try to get a couple from Sheffield United and Crystal Palace, his former clubs, in the summer.

SIGURDSSON NAMED PLAYER OF THE MONTH
Posted on: 03.04.2010
Reading midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson was celebrating today after being named Coca-Cola Championship Player of the Month for March.

Sigurdsson was in outstanding form in March, scoring five goals in six league games. The midfielder began his scoring streak with two goals against Bristol City and followed this by netting the winner from the penalty spot against Queens Park Rangers three days later. He continued his fine form in front of goal with a last minute winner away at Leicester City and rounded off a superb month with the Royals' only goal in the their home draw with title-chasing West Bromwich Albion.

Also shortlisted for the March award were Peter Lovenkrands of Newcastle United, Adel Taarabt of Queens Park Rangers and West Bromwich Albion's Graham Dorrans.

Steve Morison of Millwall won the award in League 1 and Neal Bishop of Notts County was given the League 2 accolade.

The decision to present the Coca-Cola Championship Player of the Month award was made by the Coca-Cola Player of the Month awards panel which includes former World Cup referee Jack Taylor, on behalf of The Football League, Steve Bates, Chairman of the Football Writers' Association, Malcolm Clarke, Chairman of the Football Supporters' Federation and Steve Watts, Marketing Assets Manager, Coca-Cola Great Britain.
