Marked for Daniel Jackson

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Luke Walker

68 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.

Squad

Jacob Bailey breaks a bone — 114 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 114 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Christoph Fuchs is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Queens Park Rangers is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match

Reading take the points off Queens Park Rangers

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Queens Park Rangers count the cost of losing Daniel Jackson

32 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

No hiding place for Matthias Lorenz

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Matthias Lorenz, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

The one thing Henry Scott could not do

Shots: 9, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Player ratings

The chances came and went for Tiago Silva

8 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.

Player ratings

The pass was always on for Samuel Harvey

Chances created: 5. Somebody has to open a door before anybody can walk through it, and he spent the afternoon opening doors.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Luke Walker

96 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.

Match

A hiding for Queens Park Rangers

Beaten 1‑5 by Bristol City, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Kasperi Silen

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Luke Edwards: 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.

Match

Queens Park Rangers are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 6 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Market

Christoph Fuchs has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Queens Park Rangers they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Queens Park Rangers and Bristol City in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad

Queens Park Rangers lose Daniel Jackson

60 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Emil Norgaard

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
