Charlie Austin out for the season

[Shania]

We should have gone for Lefondre ages ago really. Cred to Ted,again!!

[BUSHRANGER1982]

plus the additional striker we need for back up as well. Easy in 24 hours

Yeah, but if all we can get in, is one, then I will be happy if it's a proven goalscorer like Rhodes.

[skranger]

I think considering that Austin is out long term, someone like Rhodes is a must

[Qprnw10]

Here we go panic time,this is what happens when you don't address obvious needs that have been apparent for ages

Very true!

This time next week we'll be wondering what all the fuss was about.......
Won't we??

[West Acton]

As someone said previous would have known the outcome of scan yesterday they must have an alternative lined up as would they have let Adel go to Milan knowing we have just lost a striking option??? The two are not like for like but nonetheless he is an attacking option

Something must be going on in the background. I would love to get Rhodes but cannot see it think the answer will come from abroad just like Cisse did

[West Acton]

Talking of Cisse the Newcastle one is available maybe a loan to tide us over????

[twranger]

Just got in from work and read the tread, thought our whole team had passed away.
Just appears posters trying to trump each other on how upset they are and how bad things will get.Injuries are part & parcel of football, it's the unpredictability that keeps us obsessed.
If the reports are correct, we are just going to have to go for it in his absence.
Need to manage bad news.

all out of proportion mate!!

[Hubble]

Talking of Cisse the Newcastle one is available maybe a loan to tide us over????

Nice idea. Tell Harry.

[Rangers77]

We just lost the moon.....

[West Acton]

Demba Ba might be worth an enquiry for a loan don't get a look in at Chelsea even with their injuries

[QPRDave]

Bring back the REMY

[dave58]

Bad news feel depressed! Think most of thought it was quite bad at the time? Unless Harry comes up with some master stroke tomorrow ( Rhodes,Crouch McCormack Vaughan) , can't see where the goals will come from, other than Phillips every now and then,

[ollyhoops]

I was so against Crouch coming back, but now at this stage I would welcome him with open arms and a box of chocolates...

[stainrodisalegend]

all out of proportion mate!!

We get the shtick - anyone posts anything negative, you accuse them of being suicidal/ hysterical etc. I've a million other things to worry about so not going to lose too much sleep if we miss out on promotion, but if you do care about QPR going up, the following stats make it fairly obvious why his injury is not exactly the best news, no?

Charlie Austin - 15
Matty Phillips - 3
Niko Kranjcar - 2
Junior Hoilett - 2
Joey Barton - 2
Andy Johnson - 2
Clint Hill - 2
Nedum Onuoha - 1
Danny Simpson - 1
Tom Hitchcock - 1
Jermaine Jenas - 1
Gary O'Neil - 1
Armand Traore - 1
Karl Henry - 1
