Zamora injury blow for QPR

[Ginger Ninja]

Out for 3 months to have exploratory surgery on his hip.
That leaves us with Djibril "Forever Offside" Cisse.

Nice one Sparky.

[Shrine]

Djibril "Forever-Offside and hit-the-ball-as-hard-as-you-can-and-hope-its-going-towards-the-goal" Cisse.

[vblockranger]

what a total **** up this season has been so far

[MattyRangers]

As If Cisse didn't look motivated enough, he now knows he doesn't even have any competition for his place....

[Kirill]

With only Cisse available now, I would be worried - only if we didn't have a competent and passionate manager like Hughes.

Bottle job

Time to give youth a chance - frankie boy Sutherland - you make your own luck and Hughes took a massive gamble in having 3 x 30 plus year olds as our strike force with 2 of them in particular having a dreadful injury record

I don't know much about Sutherland but unless he can hold the ball up we well not have a plan b in terms of our attacking play and will struggle to keep the ball upfield

I can see Hughes becoming even more defensive and it wouldn't surprise me if taarabt was dropped

Agree that we have no option but to give youth a chance - but look at Saturday, BZ was out then and we had no proper attacking options (other than Mackie) on the bench. The only youth player was Ehmer.........................so why didn't Hughes have one of the young strikers there then? Makes you think its no more likely going forward than it was then doesn't it?

[ClemQPR]

I know he isn't the most skillful player we have but I would rather have Mackie up there at the moment than Cisse. At least he would chase things down, stay onside and he does know where the goal is.

I also doubt he would be offering fans out if they dare to criticise him

[Steve-o]

Thinking back Cisse played well up top at Sunderland but was that with Bent as a partner?

[silvercue]

Cisse is a good player - he isn't playing well because he is either short on form, confidence or just does not want to play for the manager.

All of those are for Hughes to addresss.

Sorry, but we have too many decent players that are not playing well - this cannot be a coincidence.

We haven't had the classic joke yet....Zammo will probably miss his appointment anyway! Haha!

[Yousef]

and it just make you realise how stupid Hughes is in signing injury prone players. Andy Johnson and now Bobby Zamora. Will Mark Hughes now realise has has to use Mackie upfront?

[Steve-o]

Did anyone else not see Zamora and Jonson injuries coming other than Hughes?

Matty think how damming Granero's tweet must sound now ,[even your excuses have excuses ]
My excuse for not naming D J in my 25 is either I dont like him or I dont rate him and my next excuse will be well my only other capable f/ward is at Ipswich untill january so loosing my other 2 crock f/wards has left us short up front .
Will this poor excuse of a manager ever get a job in football again ? and this from someone who always lent towards giving him more time
