Binks is an odd one. His slick hair makes him look like he could be either 22 or in his mid-50s. Got a touch of the Terry-Thomas / Leslie Phillips about him. Probably says 'Ding dong' or 'I say' to the ladies and calls underperforming team-mates 'an absolute shower'.

Agreed. He's far better than we give him credit for. He's a proven player at this level, regularly playing for a successful club. It's £5m at a minimum imho.

Bidwell has become a bit of a social media meme, with people just writing 'Jake Bidwell' in the comments. He's trended on Twitter / X several times. This vote isn't really about him being the best player.

I'm so starved of football that I watched the Steve Evans interview about Kelly's signing, and he said that he'd spoken to Mark Robins who said that he didn't think Evans would get him as Kelly had some serious offers. So despite the squeaky Robins comment, the two do seem to be on speaking...

Ha - we have a player in all 4 of the defensive positions. As it stands, Bidwell is the only one winning his category but the others are all close.

I'm torn on KP. He's often inventive, he often puts in the effort and tackles harder than you'd expect, and he often has a strop on the pitch and rants whilst the opposition then break and we become a player light. If he could get rid of that toddler tantrum side of things he could be good...

Biggest thng for me is that Simms suddenly realised he could use his strength and be an animal, and that him and Haji seem to have developed an understanding. Add Sakamoto and ECM into the mix, and both strikers could bag 25 apiece with a fair wind behind them.

Like the fact that KP called the offender a male, rather than a man. Sends a subtle message.

Interesting card if doing a Past and Present team

This is the only vacancy that mildly worries me, but if he went he'd be sacked within 18 months because he'd either have failed to get promotion or would be in the bottom 3 of the EPL. I suspect if we went up, we could finish bottom of the Premier League and he'd retain his job.

BBC says QPR 58% possession

Agreed. The issue comes when the squad fillers end up playing almost every week, which hopefully won't be the case next season.

Trouble is, you sell known quantity who can do a good job most weeks, and replace with an unknown quantity who likely comes from a lower league or abroad who then needs time to adapt. We need a solid, consistent spine for more than a season at a time to have a chance at going up in my eyes.

Depends who he plays for. In a decent team, his colleagues bail him out. In a relegation threatened team, he potentially costs them points with the quality of the opposition who can capitalise on the errors.

Career suicide taking that job. They'd never give him the time he needs. He's not a quick fix kinda guy imho.

To be fair, defenders and goalkeepers are more likely to cost us a goal than strikers and midfielders.

Lati gets rough treatment on here just lately. Don't really get it. He's a decent enough squad player. More annoyed at the referee. Dubious decisions will have cost us the playoffs and the cup final in the space of 3 days. Feels like we're being kicked while we're down.

Who's this little fella?

Could be 5 at the back again. Lati at the centre of the 3. Fascinating reading between the lines after Sunday - sounded like the pre-prepared plan was 5atb first half to keep it tight, then 433 second.

I've got that 'Portsmouth, down to 9 men' kind of vibe tonight for some reason. Like we'll pull it out of the bag against the odds.
