QPR Snippets: Aaron Goode Loan Return...Four December Managerial Debuts at Loftus Road

-
Kingtsonian Official - Thursday 6th December 2007
"Defender Aaron Goode will be returning to QPR on Monday following the conclusion of his three month loan deal....
Goode (18) has made 12 starts for the club, and despite missing the last three games with injury is available for Saturday's game if he recovers in time. Manager Alan Dowson comments, "Aaron has done really well for us and whilst I would have liked to have extended the deal, there is a new management team in place at QPR and so his return is understandable. I wouldn't hesitate in having Aaron down here again if the opportunity arose." Kingstonian
