Poll results ... who did QPR let go off to early?

11th. Matthew Rose - 1%
i think this was the right desicion. Not sure Rose had the quality to continue at Championship level and to get QPR towards the playoffs. Now a regular at League 1 Yeovil.

10th. Kevin Gallen - 3%
Didn't seem to have the goals in him anymore. Couldn't see him being the 20 goals a season man we need. Now a star player at MK Dons who should be in League 1 next year.

9th/8th - Scott Donnely and Ian Evatt - 5%
Scott Donnely seemed not to work hard enough. Let himself go in the summer break badly and didn't seem to have the quality. Now with Waddock at Aldershot who should be in League 2 next year.
However, i think it was the wrong decision to let Ian Evatt go. Seemed a decent enough defender, probably more solid than the likes of Zesh Rehman. Perhaps a mistake. Now a regular at Championship Blackpool.

7th - Shabazz Baidoo - 7%
Seemed to have decent pace and some scoring ability although i very much doubt he could have ever scored the necessary amount of goals. Seems to have fallen of the rails a little bit lately, trying to launch a rap career and getting himself arrested. Probably, the right decision to let him go. Now a substitute at Dagenham and Redbridge.

6th/5th/4th/3rd - Marcus Bignot/ Patrick Kanyuka/Jimmy Smith / Paul Furlong - 9%
Bignot was instrumental in keeping us up and a passionate Rs player. Seemed like a nice bloke and a decent full back but lacked the quality for a promotion side, compared to Manciene, Connely etc. Again the right desicion to let him go. Now a regular at League 1 Millwall.

I personally beleive the clubs biggest recent mistake was releasing Patrick Kanyuka a hugely talented centre half who appeared to have first team potential. A thoroughly decent bloke to. He may still go far. Now a regular at League 1 Swindon.

Although, Jimmy Smith was never actually a QPR player, just a Chelsea Loanee, we probably could have signed him if we wanted. Huge goal scoring potential but didn't seem to offer anything else to the team and often faded out of games. Probably wouldn't be in the side now though. Still would have been nice to have him for the first half of this season. Now injured at Championship Norwich.

Paul Furlong was my favourite ever QPR player and i was deeply saddened by hiis exit, to Luton of all people. Still had it in him to score goals and he should have been kept for his leadership and experience, especially over Stefan Moore, Shabazz Baidoo and Marc Nygaard. Now a top scorer and star player at League 1 luton, having recently attracted interest from Wycombe and Barnet.

2nd - Marc Bircham - 13%
I liked Birch because of his pure passion and combative mentality. You got the feeling he would actually die for the shirt. However, it is unlikely he would have had the quality to still be in the team today having been replaced by Leigertwood and Mahon. Now a regular at League 1 Yeovil.

1st - Keiron St. Aimie - 24%
This guy never really got his chance at QPR after impressing early on with a great goal at Celtic in the pre-season. However, although i would have kept him for another 6 months you have to question the abilities of somebody who was turned down by a conference league side for not having enough goal scoring potential. Now a squad player at Barnet.

Thanks for voting and i tip Kanyuka to shine in the future!
