Sutherland extension gives QPR fan another shot at his dream – interview 28th Jun 2015 by Clive Whittingham Frankie Sutherland, who recently signed a one-year contract extension at QPR, talks to LFW about recovering from the club’s signature knee injury and pressing his first team claims. When QPR were drawn away at Everton in the FA Cup Third Round two seasons ago, even a good few of the club's die-hard supporters gave the game a miss. Worn down by more than a decade of abysmal failures in the world's oldest knockout competition, the faithful had grown weary of cold January days and nights riddled with humiliation at the hands of Grimsby Town and Vauxhall Motors. QPR were chasing promotion from the Championship and manager Harry Redknapp hadn't really given the impression he was that interested in even doing that over the course of the first half of the season so there was little to suggest he'd suddenly chuck stuff at a cup competition. Swindon Town had comprehensively outplayed Rangers in the League Cup back in September. Sure enough, Julio Cesar started in goal for the first time that season and the game was tossed aside 4-0. But in the sparsely populated Lower Bullens in the side stand at Goodison Park, exposed to the elements and gentle mocking of the locals with only a handful of other QPR fans for company, Frankie Sutherland cared. Not in club tracksuit, nor part of the official travelling party, he sat in the away end with a friend and supported QPR as a fan.

Good lad, let's hope he is a first-team regular this season. This is more evidence that the club is going in the right direction - thank **** Redknapp has gone.
