Re: Sean Goss
More importantly, how did he do?
Was amazed they came in for him, though I wish him all the luck - which will only help both him and us.

Re: Sean Goss
So why can he (already) tear it up in the Scottish Prem (close to Champ standard) while Ollie never gave him a game? It's f***ing maddening.

Re: Sean Goss
It's early days but I think the general standard of the Scottish Premiership is below the Championship. Goss will enjoy a little more time and space on the ball.
In other news, both Grego-Cox and Ngbakoto scored in games for their new clubs this week.

Re: Sean Goss
Against PSG as well... albeit a penalty.
I expect Goss to do pretty well up there. One of the stronger teams in a very poor division.
Wouldn’t have put in him in over Scowen or Luongo though.

Re: Sean Goss
Agreed, it's hard to blame Holloway for this one. It's a poor division, proven by Clint Hill but hopefully, it will do Goss the world of good to get game time.

Re: Sean Goss
It's difficult for us to guage how poor a division the Scottish Prem is apart from the almost comical defending we see when they show Celtic clips on the news. I wonder how our team would get on against them......perhaps even our “ strikers” would have a field day.

Re: Sean Goss
This is not really so complicated, is it?
He was reported to be a great, but unproven, talent and was bought by QPR at (probably) a reasonable price for the potential on offer. But, we were not entirely sure what we were going to do with him when we got him home and even less sure when the nature and style of the team for 2017-2018 began to shape up. So, rather like a 'bargain' in the sales - we try to convince ourselves that the jacket fits well, when it doesn't and never will - we made the purchase in the hope that it would work out. It didn't.
I am inclined to believe that Goss is as talented as we were told. He knows he is and he didn't want to go to Yeovil on loan (would he have been playing against Man Utd tomorrow, if he had?) because he knows he can do better than that. So, going to Rangers makes a great deal of sense for him. It also makes sense for us, if only financially. If he succeeds up there, he will not want to come back to Loftus Road and we shall probably sell him and make a few bob on the overall transaction. I would have been happier if he had become a star at QPR, but, if he is just a traded commodity that makes us a profit during difficult times, then so be it.

It's simple. Score more goals than they do.

Re: Sean Goss
I'd hazard a guess that the top 4 teams in the SPL would comfortably beat QPR. The primary reason is the quality of management rather than the players (Celtic being the exception there).222gers wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2018 11:13 amIt's difficult for us to guage how poor a division the Scottish Prem is apart from the almost comical defending we see when they show Celtic clips on the news.

Re: Sean Goss
For those interested I believe Glasgow Rangers match is live on Sky tomorrow. I don't have Sky but would be interested in how Goss plays if anyone would care to report.

Re: Sean Goss
“There are loads of teams with different styles,” he said. “It can be difficult for a player like me in the Championship because I like to get the ball down and pass it. But that’s why Rangers was the perfect fit for me – after hearing how the gaffer wants to play, it was a no-brainer. QPR definitely had to change the way they were playing in order to try and pick up some results."

Re: Sean Goss
BBC football site saying he tested the Ross County 'keeper with a rasping drive. Blimey, when's the last time any of our lads hit a “rasping drive” ?
Over to LaLa for match report.

Re: Sean Goss
Apologies just finished refin my first ever game, men’s 11 aside, I’m still getting over the emotional torture.
Didn’t see Goss or Rangers.
