Squad

Tariq Lamptey damages knee ligaments — 32 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 32 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Queens Park Rangers

0‑4 against Cardiff City, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

The dugout

Harry Amass: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Queens Park Rangers have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Queens Park Rangers get their man

The chase for Jefferson Palacios ended with $430.0K changing hands and Bristol Rovers out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

A move Jefferson Palacios would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Jefferson Palacios is living that version at Queens Park Rangers, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Ronnie Edwards in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Queens Park Rangers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Queens Park Rangers

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Transfer targets

Queens Park Rangers rebuffed over Cameron Archer

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Fulham have kept their man, and Queens Park Rangers go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

Kévin Denkey sends Queens Park Rangers past Derby County

It finished 2‑1, and it was Kévin Denkey’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Queens Park Rangers.

In brief
