From LFW's starting with the goalkeepers.... End of Term Report 17/18 – Goalkeepers Wednesday, 30th May 2018 08:47 by Clive Whittingham Once again we’ve crunched the numbers, sat through the tapes, argued in the pub and come up with assessments for every QPR first team player’s efforts during 2017/18, starting with the three goalkeepers. 1 - Alex Smithies B Always interesting, to geeks like me, how rarely the Supporters Player of the Year Award and the Players’ Player of the Year Award go to the same player – I suspect the latter means more to the pros and Nedum Onuoha got the nod this season. What was eye opening though, when the club published a series of short video reviews from a dozen of the first team squad, is just how many of them either voted for Alex Smithies or came close to doing so. He’d featured only very occasionally in the message board’s field, which was dominated by the likes of Luke Freeman, Massimo Luongo, Josh Scowen, Jack Robinson and a few calls for Matt Smith. Perhaps we have come to take the division’s best goalkeeper for granted. Read the rest here......https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/membe.../48144/end-of-term-report-17-18-–-goalkeepers

The more I think about it the more I'm worried about our centre back situation next season. Also Ned is going to be a huge loss. We need to get some experience in for sure.
I thought that Lynch was supposed to fulfill that role but with his injury record he's not been half as good as most thought he would be. Maybe next season is the one where he steps up to the plate and assumes the senior pro role.......
I think both Baptiste and Lynch played well enough when fit, but their injury histories together with Hall's long term problems mean we need 2 new CB's, assuming Robinson is going and Furlong is seen as staying primarily at RB. One of these 2 at least needs to be quick, as none of these remaining 3 CB's are. Ned is a big loss.
