Rob Green going?

[QPRDave]

Really aint.

Ignorance is bliss .......obviously

[QPRDave]

Has he gone yet?.....Thought West Ham were desperate to get him in for tomorrow.

[West London is Rss]

Ignorance is bliss .......obviously

I gave my reasoning Dave, i backed it up, which is more than some do on here eh?

[cross it Dave]

The new guy should start tomorrow, on paper Rotherham are a weak team, good place to start for Alex, at home as well.

I'd throw him straight in personally.

Green has conceded 6 goals in 3 games which is a shocking statistic from an apparent international GK.

Dunno if Ramsey has the nuts to make that call personally, plus the new lad may need a week or two getting to know his defenders first on the training ground before being thrown in.

Think he needs a week to get used to the defence. In time to play once Green has had his Loftus Road farewell.

[Kevin Mcleod]

Get him straight in at home to botherham, we should be making easy work of them and I for one fully expect us to

[West Acton]

Lets weigh the positives and negatives up of Robert Green as a player.

Positives:

Great shot stopper from outside the box
Great reactions
Good footwork for long distance saves
Commands defence well

Negatives:

Liable to Fumble the easy ones
Can't kick for toffee... Far too many go out for throw ins or land no-where back in our own half, putting us in the sh1t.. Exhibit A. Chelsea at home last season.
Doesn't/cant come for corners - Flaps at crosses in general when the box is flooded with bodies, instead of being big and assertive and punching.
Beaten at his near post FAR too often
One v one - terrible. Struggles to judge the situation in front of him i.e. when to leave/come off his line and confront the striker.

He may have made some brilliant shot stopping saves BUT the amount of times he has put us in it with the negatives i have listed above is un-real.

This is all my observant opinion after watching him for a few seasons now.

Not an overall fan and wanted McCarthy in straight away when we signed him.

Agree but I would argue lets in way to Many goals from outside the box

[West Acton]

Building has restarted so that means green is sold or is on the bench for me

I agree with most of your pros and cons but the one I disagree with is one on one's. Personally think he's one of the best, prime example being out playoff semi at home v wigan, where a couple of times he stopped James McLean.

I dunno. I would start Green tomorrow and Smithies on Tuesday against Carlisle, to have a look at him. He does well on Tuesday, he starts against Huddersfield.

Surprised green deal is taking so long, everywhere is saying terms have been agreed with the club's and the player, they need him for cover and cover is exactly what they need right this moment!! Drop Green if it's true i say. Cos if the deal had gone through already we wouldnt have him anyway! Smithies knows the champion inside out, and it's a home game! Get out new keeper for the next five years plus straight between the sticks imo

[WeAreQPR12]

I don't want smithie playing against Huddersfield. He is a boyhood fan and I know crouch didn't make much of an effort against us. The fact is plays in an even more crucial role we shouldn't put him in that situation

[Timmy the Doc]

Last season Green was our MOTM in 15 games and another 15 times in top three. So he played very well in 30 games and had only 5-6 adequate or poor games. You can't say that about any other player in QPR. He was our most valuable player after Charlie Austin.

He's also been better for us than Cesar, Cerny, Kenny and Camp. He's not brilliant and makes mistakes but he's been good enough for us. Anyone who says else do not know much about goalkeeping, IMO of course.

[Shania]

Like another poster has written above, I will strongly suggest that Smithies gets a week to to know his defence.
