I remember an interview with Kevin Phillips on Talksh2te many years ago. He basically said, a striker is a striker and will score in any division. He also said that to get out of the Championship you need two good strikers.
HASSELBAINK: THIS WAS GOOD PRACTICE FOR US “We were very slow, especially in the first half. But we are in pre-season, and I felt the second half was a lot better. “We needed to play with a higher tempo because they were sitting, and were not going to take the initiative. But that provided us with a good test.” Jordan Cousins made his QPR debut, coming on in the second half, and looked impressive in the centre of the park, both on the ball and while out of possession. “Jordan is naturally fit and that helps,” Hasselbaink added. “We need more goals from midfield and he brings with him that urgency with how he plays.” The R’s chief was also pleased with the impact Shodipo had on the game. Having been at the club for three years, the 19 year-old has enjoyed significant game time during this pre-season, and Hasselbaink explained: “We want to bring players through from the youth if they are good enough. “He is young so we need to take care of him, which is why I gave him just 70 minutes. He did well in the game, especially in the second half, but you have to be careful with younger players. I am very happy with him.” Hasselbaink also confirmed that Ariel Borysiuk, who didn’t feature at the Sixfields Stadium, has sustained an ankle injury, and is set for a brief spell on the sidelines. “He has twisted his ankle,” Hasselbaink said. “It is something we can’t do anything about. He is a strong boy but we think it is going to be six weeks.” Read more at http://www.qpr.co.uk/news/article/2...hampton-town-3195279.aspx#EXOIgZIvGF49O5vB.99
I see three former R's were also in action yesterday evening, playing for Rangers (Hill, Barton, Kranjcar) with Clint playing the full 90 mins:- Scottish League Cup: Rangers 2-0 Annan Athletic please log in to view this image Martyn Waghorn and Barrie McKay were both on the scoresheet for Rangers Joey Barton made his debut as a substitute as Rangers sealed a second win from two League Cup group games against League Two Annan at Ibrox. Barrie McKay's superb 25-yard strike after 30 minutes opened the scoring but the hosts missed a string of chances. Martyn Waghorn, Lee Wallace and debutant Lee Hodson all went close before Barton curled a free-kick just wide moments after his entrance. Waghorn eventually made it 2-0 after 74 minutes from Hodson's through ball. Kenny Miller then headed over late on from fellow substitute Harry Forrester's cross. After opening their campaign with victory at Motherwell on Saturday, Rangers' win puts them top of Group F on goal difference, with Stranraer snatching two late goals to beat East Stirling 3-1 after winning at Annan in their opener. As well as Barton, the Ibrox fans also got a first glimpse of fellow summer signings Matt Gilks, Clint Hill and the lively Hodson, while Josh Windass and Niko Kranjcar also started following their debuts at Fir Park. Kranjcar's quality in midfield was obvious, but despite his probing the hosts had to wait half an hour to find the breakthrough. please log in to view this image McKay's 25-yard strike was even sweeter than he one he scored against Celtic in the Scottish Cup It was worth the wait though as McKay cut in from the left and bent an unstoppable strike past a helpless Blair Currie. The Annan goalkeeper had done better with two efforts from Hodson though, parrying the former Kilmarnock full-back's header from point-blank range before pushing away a long-range shot. A slick combination move involving McKay, Waghorn and Lee Wallace should have produced a second goal early in the second half but the Ibrox skipper prodded his shot wide, while Kranjcar was denied by Currie's finger-tip save. That was the Croatian's last involvement as Barton was introduced on the hour to huge cheers from a crowd of 31,628. please log in to view this image Barton's arrival was warmly greeted and the midfielder was quick to make an impression The 33-year-old almost made himself an instant hero with just his second touch, whipping a 20-yard free-kick just wide of the target. Miller was foiled by another Currie save soon after but Waghorn, Rangers' top scorer last season with 28, bagged his second of the new campaign with a composed finish. Post-match reaction: Rangers boss Mark Warburton: "It was a warm night and a good, physical work-out for us. "We dominated possession but it's hard to play against teams who have 10 players behind the ball. What we have to do better is penetrate more." Annan boss Jim Chapman: "We can't complain. It was a fantastic learning experience for my guys against such quality players." Teams: Rangers: Gilks, Hodson, Hill, Kiernan, Wallace, Halliday, Windass, Kranjcar, O'Halloran, Waghorn, McKay. Subs: Foderingham, Tavernier, Wilson, Barton (for Windass, 60), Holt, Forrester (for Kranjcar, 60) Miller (for McKay, 60) Annan: Currie, Black, Lucas, Krissian, Swinglehurst, Cuddihy, Omar, Robertson, McKenna, Wright, Ribeiro. Subs: Mitchell, Norman, Park, Watson, Dachnowicz, Asghar, Liddell. Attendance: 31,628 http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36841671
No she was in the chorus Col. The year 11's get the main roles and the year 10's get the supporting parts. The year 9's get promised a main role when the time comes as a reward for participating in the chorus.
