“Sam Field has been tremendous the last few months, Jeff Hendrick coming in, Luke Amos has been showing some promise and Johanson has been a serial starter in the side so those midfield, more box to box positions have been hard to come by.”

“At the start of the season he was starting most of the games, I think there’s still a player there. I think he’d be a fantastic squad player.”

“I would actually be disappointed to lose Dom Ball this summer. I think that he does still have a future at QPR.”
