If it's true then that's total dissent and I don't think management should have any of that. They're employees! They don't get to direct how things go.

The gaffer's press conference is now live on #QPR Player. He reflects on the match, new players and where Hill and Taarabt were #QPR

If true it would seem that these two would rather play in a weak squad than fight for a place in a stronger one.

Yes! Bad attitude. They're basicly saying you should always pick us over the rest. They have to earn it! Anyway, it may not be true.
 
I've just watched Hughes' press conferance, and when quizzed on Taraabt and Hill i'm sure his demeanor shifted slightly. He became a little more defensive and made that facial expression he's got when he's playing his cards close to his chest.
I may be completely misinterpreting, as it was only subtle..
Adel + Traore are best mates, so this definitely might have a grain of truth
 
so what did he say about Taarabt + Hill??? an expression that you describe doesn't tell too much...
 
its called a squad, train harder & work & prove to the manager your worth a place, anyway i don't think it was tarbs sort of match & would have passed him by.
 
Oh he just said that everyone was fit, and it was nothing to do with injuries. He said he wanted more cover on the bench for CM than usual, which makes sense given Granero is new + Faurlin still recovering. But as a result of this, supposedly there wasn't enough room left for adel.

ok, thanks for the report <ok>
 
Whilst I wouldn't condone any player doing what has been alleged, I'd like to make one observation about Taarabt. In the Championship-winning team, Warnock wrapped his arms around the lad, built his team around him and gave him special licence to "do his thing". Sure, this was the Championship and the opposition was therefore weaker, but we saw a better Adel Taarabt as a consequence. The lad is clearly high maintenance and, to get the best out of him, he needs constant stroking and 'bigging up'. The problem is, in the PL who will indulge him?

Even if he had been on the bench I doubt whether Adel would have been used.

What was noticable about today was the midfield tracking back and tackling - something that isn't Adel's strong point.
 
"we've got a lot of guys in the squad and everybody's fit at the moment, so at the moment it's difficult to fit everybody on the bench so, we had eerm, obviously, we had to legislate for the fact that we had two guys in the middle of the park that might have to be changed, so i had to cover myself in that regard, so unfortunately they didn't make the bench, but that's healthy because it hsows we've got more strength this year in depth in the squad than we had last year"

Wouldn't be surpsied if Hughes thought adel wasn't suitable for today's fixture fullstop, for the reasons you've given Eamon.

26 Murphy Essential
15 Onuoha Essential
04 Derry Essential(CM cover)
18 Dyer Essential(more CM cover)
09 Cisse Scores a lot
12 Mackie Very industrious, good workrate to relieve a beleaguered defence
23 Hoilett Better form than taraabt the first few games


I guess you could have switched Adel with one of mackie/hoillet, but even then that's debatable
