So you're saying Armstrong should go for 20m? Lovely. I believe Rovers have a nice clause in that contract.

Great run and cool finish - it's really surprising that this is only his second goal for QPR - hopefully it will spark a few more.

Sinclair is an absolute athlete, but he's not a natural goalscorer unfortunately. That's not to say he can't have a successful international career though, as long we accept his weaknesses and play to his strengths. But I don't see anyone paying big money for him until he adds goals to his game (if he does manage that there will be a queue).

He's an athletic Kai Havertz.

I've always thought of him as a Heskey type.

Saw the good and the bad of Sinclair again today against Watford - was a handful for the Watford defence all game, but then blew a great chance to give QPR the lead just before Watford scored. Continued to play well after that but couldn't find the net and QPR lost 2-1. Could be a useful option for the bench for us this year, but not as an out and out centre forward at this point.

Still only 20 - he has 3/4 years of growing to do before we really know what he is capable of.

Third of the season today - or second in a fortnight if you prefer to look at it that way!

**Eirambler** · 20/01/2024, 4:12 PM

First goal in the league since August is the other way of looking at it I suppose. The Sky reporter described him as having had a bad season or words similar to that, which is harsh, but I suppose if you just looked at his goals to minutes played maybe hard to argue. But he does offer more to his game other than goals. Hopefully he can go on a scoring run now.

Fans seem suitably impressed - even getting compared to a young Les Ferdinand! Definitely raw, however his pace, power, energy and attitude will terrify defenders and at the very least make space for others. Referred to as a “wrecking ball” which is a good analogy - worked for Emile Heskey!

Interesting to see his contract is up at the end of the season. Even without having scored a huge amount of goals, you'd think if he can smooth some of the rougher edges his value will be high even in a Championship context in a couple of season. The amount of fans ' goodwill he has attracted in the context of his scoring record is amazing. Idah could only dream of that backing.

Qpr have an option to extend for another year which I presume they will trigger.

We could only dream of Idah putting in the level of work rate and effort on the pitch that Armstrong puts in.

Grabs the second goal for QPR this afternoon as they lead 2-1

Lovely finish too

Given Ogbene's rise to the PL it should give Armstrong something to aspire to. At the same age Ogbene was still playing LOI with Limerick.

I didn't think Ogbene would ever make it to the PL never mind actually become a first team regular and get praised by pundits for some of his performances this season.

**Jolly Red Giant** · 02/03/2024, 9:35 PM

If Armstrong keeps progressing at his current rate he is going to be a really good footballer.

We have a lot of very talented kids and we just need a few of them to take the next step.
