The Queens Park Rangers Sentinel

A knee injury of the worst kind for Joseph Meyer
89 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.
Match18 Sep 2047
Queens Park Rangers out of the cup
Huddersfield Town ended it 1‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Tiago Silva 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 Sep 2047
Queens Park Rangers get the job done against Rotherham United
A 2‑1 win over Rotherham United, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Rafael Cordoba in the eights
A performance of 8.18 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Christoph Fuchs runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The afternoon belonged to Tiago Silva
A mark of 7.92, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

No hiding place for Oliver Parker
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Oliver Parker, and the manager let it.

Queens Park Rangers pick somebody else ahead of Jack Howard
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
