QPR Win "PERFORMANCE OF THE WEEK"
QPR OFFICIAL SITE _ R'S WIN ‘PERFORMANCE OF THE WEEK’ AWARD
Away victory at Southampton named 'Performance of the
Week'
THE R'S away victory against Southampton last weekend has
been named F&C Investments Performance of the Week.
Goals from Loic Remy and Jay Bothroyd won it for Rangers
at St Mary's, as Harry Redknapp's men claimed a crucial win in their fight for
Premier League survival.
The League Managers Association five-man Performance of
the Week panel - comprising LMA Chairman Howard Wilkinson, Sir Alex Ferguson,
Joe Royle, Dave Bassett and Barry Fry - were in agreement that the F&C
Investments Performance of the Week Award should go to Redknapp's side, on a
weekend which saw all of the R's relegation-threatened rivals fail to pick up
any points from their respective fixtures.
R's gaffer Redknapp will receive a specially engraved
crystal football in a presentation to commemorate the award. QPR
FUlham Chronicle/Jacob Murtagh - Bothroyd: I thought my time at QPR was up
JAY Bothroyd thought his Rangers career was over – now
the striker is determined to play his part in QPR's survival bid.
The former Cardiff City frontman admits he thought he had
played his last game in blue and white hoops after being frozen out of the
first-team set-up by Mark Hughes last summer.
Bothroyd wasn't given a squad number and forced to train
with the reserves to leave him in limbo.
But after a disappointing loan spell at Sheffield
Wednesday, where he scored just once in 14 games, Bothroyd was handed the
chance by new boss Harry Redknapp.
The 30-year-old has responded by plundering three goals
in five games since his return to west London, including the winner in last
weekend's vital victory at Southampton - his first Premier League start of the
campaign.
With Bobby Zamora battling to overcome an ankle injury,
Bothroyd could keep his place for Saturday's crucial clash with Sunderland.
And the former Arsenal trainee is desperate to help QPR's
battle against the drop.
He said: “I wanted to do well for QPR, but Mark Hughes
decided he didn't want to give me an opportunity, even though there were only
three forwards at the club.
“Not getting in the 25-man squad hurt me. Myself and a
few others were isolated and made to train on our own, doing double sessions,
which are out of the ordinary.
“I thought I may not play for the club again. It was
tough mentally but I stayed strong and always believed in myself.
“I went on loan to Sheffield Wednesday because I knew
Dave Jones from my time at Cardiff.
“It was difficult. I was playing out of position and then
I got injured.
“When I came back to QPR Harry gave me a chance.
“I've scored three in the last four so I'm happy with
that. I just want to do my best for QPR and help keep us up.” http://www.fulhamchronicle.co.uk/london-qpr/2013/03/07/82029-32942015/#ixzz2MrY2jmmW

FRANCIS JOINS WOKING
R's forward moves to Kingfield Stadium on loan ...
QPR UNDER-21S striker Adam Francis has today joined Woking on loan for the remainder of of the Blue Square Bet Premier season.
The 20-year-old is part of Marc Bircham's Elite Development Squad, recently returning from a one-month spell at Staines.
Francis
- whose contract at Loftus Road expires in the summer - will stay at
the Kingfield Stadium until Saturday 20th April. QPR
"...John
Gregory believes there is a powerful caucus of people close to the club
who are plotting to kill off Queen's Park Rangers...."
"...there's
people out there trying to destroy the club, people who are close to
it. You've got some on the internet message boards slagging everything
off and giving out details about financial aspects, which are
confidential. A few former employees might be feeding them stuff,
spreading a lot of poison. It's quite sad really..."
