Chevanton nets in behind-closed-doors friendly ...

JAVIER Chevanton was on the scoresheet as QPR shared four goals in a reserves friendly at Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday afternoon.

The Uruguayan striker opened the scoring at Spurs’ training ground before playing a pivotal part in the R’s second as Marc Bircham’s side came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw.

Chevanton – poised to make his competitive R’s debut after being named amongst the substitutes for Saturday’s win over Middlesbrough – won a penalty to provide a chance for a second-half equaliser, allowing a trialist to level the scores from the spot.

“Javier played well – scoring one, winning a penalty and also hitting the post,” Bircham told www.qpr.co.uk at full time.

“We didn’t know what to expect really but we played well and probably should have won.”

Chevanton was one of several senior members utilised by Bircham alongside the likes of first-team duo Yun Suk-Young and Samba Diakite.

The afternoon also proved a useful exercise for the Elite Development Squad, with young quartet Sam Magri, Jamie Sendles-White, Frankie Sutherland and Michael Petrasso amongst the starting XI.

Meanwhile, new recruit Ben Pattie featured from the bench exactly a week after agreeing terms to join the EDS ranks.

Bircham added: “Ben did well coming on as a substitute and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet.

“You can use more than three over-age players in friendlies so that’s why we play these games. You can try a few different things without the pressure of league points to play for.

“It was a good test, for the senior lads and the younger boys. Frankie Sutherland was probably our best player but overall I was really impressed with the whole team.”

Great news that Chevanton scored, also pleased to see that Sutherland was playing.

 

have we signed the ex hearts captain (whose name I'm not gonna try and pronounce) I hope he's not going to train with us then go somewhere else.

 

Maybe Zaliukas was the trialist who scored from the penalty; any way of finding out??!!

The QPR trialist who scored today is Basile Camerling. #QPR


It means nothing to me.....

 

Not much info on him...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basile_Camerling

 

Basile Camerling: French striker, 26 years old.

Has played only 43 senior games in 8 years, scoring 9 times.

This makes him sound dreadful. We had the Pelican, please not the Camel as well!

 

Come on Roller, your Wiki skills are better than that....French attacker 26, 9 goals in 43 appearances over 8 seasons with 4 different clubs (2 on loan from Nancy). Sounds like he never made the step up.....

beat me to it Eamon

 

Here's a story that was posted on WATRB about Chevanton's loyalty as a player: http://myheartbeatsfootball.wordpress.com/2013/06/18/touching-story-ernesto-chevanton-and-lecce/

 

Fantastic story. I like the guy already. Just hope he does the business on the pitch.

 

Fixed for you mate !!

Sounds like a good bloke to me...just hope he can still put them away !

 

To get back to the OP
Chevanton playing well and scoring is great news for us, just what we need with nobody else to turn to

 

Couldn't have put it more succinctly !!

And with the right attitude, could Harry have pulled another gem out of the bag ??
