and after the Norwich game Wildthing's only comment on the player was “Ethan, great player, just couldn’t get in the squad,” - and that after naming Willock on the bench but saying he was not fit enough to play.
Does he even know the names of the players and who is who or is he just taking the p***.

Does he even know the names of the players and who is who or is he just taking the p***. Or perhaps it is that he knows who the 'bad eggs' are and not playing them. A lot of talk about Willock going to join Beale at Rangers. We have to extend his contract for a year to extract any value at all. But it made me think. We know how Beale operates, talking directly to potential signings. I wonder how many of our squad have already been tapped up by Beale for the Summer? I wonder if QPR will be happy to do business with him as well. Seems that the rumour mill has Ferdinand moving on as well in the Summer. Not sure we can afford to lose Hoos at the same time. The owners would work hard to retain him. But if Les is ofski, I hope we are going to recruit smartly and quickly. |

I am obviously missing all the stuff about bad eggs - would like to know who and what they are doing to be rated that - and when did it start. Maybe when we hit top of the league and they thought they were too good for QPR or that the club or Beale alienated them with his departure. We need a mole to find out  Given the way most of our players have been performing I wonder how many Beale would actually be interested in taking. Willock maybe but with his injury record? Beale did don't seem to rate Chair as highly as Willock. Surely not our defenders other than Clarke-Salter ..... and maybe Dykes. Of course if we are relegated and Ferdinand departs would we even replace him or just save the money and get in a manager with the old style responsibilities rather than just being a coach. |

My guess would be Dykes, Willock and Dieng - in that order of priority. |

Beale needs to catch Celtic next season otherwise he’ll get a taste of the other side of the game.
Willock will not solve that for him.

According to a post on Facebook the other bad eggs are Willock and Johansen Interesting but anyone can put anything on Facebook. If they are "the other bad eggs? who else are the bad eggs and why - I have not seen any names of reasons but then I do not follow Twitter and the like. What would change Willock from what he was at the start of the season into a bad egg?. It may all be true but it seems that ever since the days of the true "bad eggs" eg Boswnga, under Mark Hughes, every time something goes wrong I read that it is all because we have bad eggs in the squad. Either we are very unlucky or really bad at checking out players before signing or have terrible coaches who turn players against the club. I would think every club has one or two disgruntled players because they do not get much game time or do not like how they are asked to play but that is football these days. Large match day squads and substitutions means players will be in and out. We have done ok in shifting players out on loan once it was clear they will not feature but those in a squad need to accept it is now a squad game. Strange that both these 2 named have missed chunks of the last 2 seasons with hamstring injuries - unless they are faking them, plus both have been given the captains armband at times they have played. I can imagine both not being happy being on the bench recently but if they were injured and not fully fit yet? I would still have given them a few minutes for what they can do in a game. So why are they bad eggs - undermining the manager , not following instructions? Can't imagine Johansen in the night club set. Dieng to Beale - not sure he needs a keeper unless he wants to line up a younger one. Dieng to my mind has not been the same since he came back from the World Cup. Crosses and shots he used to catch he now misses punches or palms away, firm hands that pushed shots out of play now push the ball back for easy tap ins , completely missed crosses. Maybe he has just been left exposed by the defenders, maybe loss of confidence as with them all, maybe his head turned at the World Cup. We could always put him upfront as a striker for the least 3 games  |

Maybe he has just been left exposed by the defenders, maybe loss of confidence as with them all, maybe his head turned at the World Cup. We could always put him upfront as a striker for the least 3 games New managers come in and like some players and disregard others. Players easily get disgruntled when they do not figure in the new manager's plans. Ainswoth the Legend, has bounced into QPR with some unique traits. The players that are 'rumoured' to not be buying into Ainsworth have all been disenfranchised since his arrival. He has questioned the fitness and injury records. Suggested that there will be big changes to the physio set up in the Summer. Willock is one of our perpetual injuries whose contract ends in the Summer (unless we extend). Ainsworth seems to favour an ageing Adomah to a not fully fit Willock. Ainswortn likes work horses in the centre of midfield and only two of them. He likes the ball played out quickly and long from the back bi-passing the midfield. This is very much not Johansen's game, as it exposes his ageing legs. Ainsworth decided it was better to make Martin the captain....hmmm The supporters have been very considerate, but the groans when Laird / Roiberts sit down on the pitch, is very telling. Laird may be suffering from cramp, but I doubt Ainsworth is any more impressed than the supporters. Dickie has never been good in a back 4. On top of that, he has had a very poor season. Aionsorth opting for a back 4 will not be pleasing to Dickie. Those who see the youngsters out at the Piccadilly night club of a Saturday, usually say it is the loanees in the main, but Seny is also a regular. So, there are a few in the squad who may not be 'bad eggs' but probably do noy buy into what Ainsworth is trying to do and probably spoken out or switched off. He will know who and what and will just work with those who do subscribe. When things are good at a club, the squad and the training ground is tight. When things are as bad as they currently are, it seems that leaks, stories and then pure fiction fills the airways. I tend to dismiss most of the social media rumblings. But I have just listed why it is that the names listed may be feeling upset, or why fictitious stories fill the airways. But all we have to go on is what Ainsworth says and does, and the absences are there for all to see. |
