From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad7 May 2035

A knee injury of the worst kind for Michael James

22 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Queens Park Rangers lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom7 May 2035

Interim Coach has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Queens Park Rangers can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Squad7 May 2035

A season's verdict on Benjamin Parker: the best of his age

Queens Park Rangers have a 21-year-old the division has just voted its finest young footballer. The club's next problem is that everybody else now knows it too.

Match5 May 2035

Justin Obikwu wins it after the whistle should have gone

92 minutes played. Justin Obikwu found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Barnsley went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Player ratings7 May 2035

Both of them Justin Obikwu's — 8.76

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.76, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad7 May 2035

Koki Saito signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Koki Saito and Queens Park Rangers agree another 2 years.

Squad7 May 2035

Rumarn Burrell 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.

Boardroom7 May 2035

Queens Park Rangers counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Queens Park Rangers now.

Match5 May 2035

Queens Park Rangers see off Barnsley

Three points for Queens Park Rangers, 2‑1 the final word against Barnsley in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Boardroom30 Apr 2035

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Queens Park Rangers

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad30 Apr 2035

A knee injury of the worst kind for Michael James

29 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Queens Park Rangers lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match28 Apr 2035

Cruel end for Burnley as Queens Park Rangers pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Queens Park Rangers scored in the 91th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Market30 Apr 2035

Dejan Granqvist asks to leave Queens Park Rangers

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad30 Apr 2035

Tempers go at Queens Park Rangers

Koki Saito was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad30 Apr 2035

Words at Queens Park Rangers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rumarn Burrell is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad30 Apr 2035

The manager makes an example of Ilias Chair

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match28 Apr 2035

Alfie Lloyd the difference as Queens Park Rangers beat Burnley

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Alfie Lloyd. 1‑0 against Burnley, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings30 Apr 2035

Koki Saito takes the honours

Marked 7.78 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Queens Park Rangers had the best player on the pitch.

Squad23 Apr 2035

A knee injury of the worst kind for Michael James

36 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Queens Park Rangers lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad23 Apr 2035

Ilias Chair keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Queens Park Rangers may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad23 Apr 2035

Koki Saito 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.

Squad23 Apr 2035

Rumarn Burrell falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match21 Apr 2035

A bad afternoon for Queens Park Rangers against Charlton Athletic

0‑1 to Charlton Athletic, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Boardroom23 Apr 2035

101% of the income goes out in wages at Queens Park Rangers

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.
