    The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.

    I've gone from thinking he wasting away at QPR to thinking he could replace Duffy in Ireland team over course of this season

    I think O'Shea is well ahead of him at this stage and Collins could have a big season coming up as well, but Masterson is doing OK, if he can get 30+ games for QPR this year it will bring him on in a big way.

    I hope Masterson starts regularly this season. He was poor at weekend, according to match report and fans forum. Right now, people have new signing Dickie starting ahead of him with Barbet. Hopefully, Conor will get the nod....

    Masterson wasn't even a guaranteed regular starter for QPR at the end of last season after Leistner and Hall had left, and yet you think he'll displace our best player in recent years in Duffy?

    I would consider Duffy, Egan, Lenihan, O'Shea, Clark, Long, Collins and probably even Pearce to be better options than Masterson as things stand.

    He's one of those players with a bigger reputation than his true standing in the game merits. Purely, I suspect, because he once was on Liverpool's books (without actually ever playing for them) and has a reputation for being a voguish ball-playing centre-back.

    Similar could once have been said of Cleary and O'Hanlon.

    I said could replace Duffy. My reasoning being that Kenny always played him in the 21s because he is a ball playing center half which he likes.
    I also said by the end of the season because he has to develop and play regularly. Its not similar to Cleary and O'Hanlon because Masterson was playing regularly in Championship by end of last season. He obviously needs to kick on and be 1st choice in the QPR team this season.

    Suggesting that a player playing in the top half of the Championship could replace one that couldn't get a game in the bottom half of the Premiership recently is hardly a massive stretch

    Collins seems to have regressed since O'Neill took over at Stoke, hopefully he will play a bit more this year

    Dropped in favor of their new 24 year old signing from league one Oxford, Dickie

    He and his agent should be pushing for a League One/League Two loan move to keep his career on track. He's played little senior football for a player of his age.

    I can’t see it happening unfortunately. QPR are wafer thin at centre back at the moment, they cannot afford to let Conor go out. Dickie was league one last year, apparently wasn’t great at the weekend, Conor needs to take his place or hope for an injury. But yes needs 40 plus games this season

    Not in squad today. Played for their under 23s 3 days ago, and doesn’t appeared to have been injured overtly on match report.

    Yeah. Further evidence he won't make it.

    You are straight onto this thread when Masterson puts a foot wrong or isn't picked. Look back over your posts here. It's a vendetta to prove yourself right on your prediction for his career.

    He's 22, not 19 like Collins. He needs to be playing regularly at this stage of his career. Sitting in a very average QPR team's reserves is not where you usually find future international quality centre halfs when they are 22.

    If his career keeps progressing at this pace I could easily see him playing for Waterford in 2 years along with Afolabi.

    Pretty odd outlook from you. Merely contributing to an open forum on Irish football respectfully.

    Seems QPR want to bring in another experienced centre-back, with Masterson to be shipped out on loan as Warburton looks to cut his squad.

    https://londonfootballnews.co.uk/qpr...to-trim-squad/

    At 22, Masterson desperately needs to be playing games at some level if he's to have any sort of long-term future in the professional game.
