Ryan Nelsen (Unattached FC Coach)

Drew 1 all, and led the R's out today at home to fellow strugglers Reading.

 Skipper again today, lost 1 nil to Stoke and bottom of the league again

Full 90m in a 3-1 loss. Looks like he will get to play under Redknapp again soon.

 While he's brilliant for the younger squad members in the AW set up, it is good to see we can do ok without him.

Be interesting to see if Harry keeps him in the starting XI

I'd say Ferdinand is more at risk of being dropped than Nelsen.

Hughes has made some good signings (or so i thought) but they just don't seem to have slotted in together at all.

So...not really good signings then?

No, apparently not... but Park and Granero etc i thought would have done well having come from Man u and Real M respectively... i guess Hughes thought the same thing.

Will be interesting what this is doing for Nelsen's name over there.

So who is Nelsen stand in captain for?

Also with Hughes being sacked not long ago, it seems Harry Redknap is keen on the job - Would be interesting considering Nelsen's move to  Tottenham previous to being at QPR

Yeah Nelsen was planned to be kept at Spurs if Harry hadnt left - so he definitely trusts him and rates him as PL standard

Nelsen will stay and play... Ferdinand should start looking for new employment.

Despite being unable to play for the All Whites because his knee needed a whole week to recover, guess who is starting for QPR this morning.

Nelsen is enormously popular with QPR fans, basically considered the only one of Hughes' signings who has been trying

Terrific header by Ryan Nelsen to level versing Wigan.

From BBC:

Wigan 2-2 QPR

Great goal and great game from Nelsen today.
Rednapp is probably the man for the job. That team has so many players that need to pull finger and stop thinking they're the shiznic'.

just saw the goal - hope he keeps leading this side and keeps them up

Soccernet selected nelsen as qpr's best performed player so far this season.

"According to Harry Redknapp, Ryan Nelsen was signed as the fourth-choice central defender. It was just that, in between buying anyone else, Mark Hughes neglected to bring in a first choice of the required quality. And so the supposed understudy soon became indispensable. When Park Ji-sung, a rather strange choice as captain, was sidelined, Nelsen assumed the armband, bringing natural leadership to what has sometimes seemed a desperate cause. For all the money QPR have spent, much rests on a 35-year-old found on a free transfer."

Why did he not play midweek?

Yep, flu

Take a cement pill

Bloody great photo of our immense leader Nellie on the BBC site match report Chelsea 0 QPR 1

Was my MOTM for sure, did nothing wrong. Towered in defense, didn't foul and played really well overall. Was a key part in the clean sheet kept by QPR

No pics there Oi Oi

Chelsea failing to score in both games against QPR this season!

God he was immense!!

From that first towering header over the top of Torres, right through to the end

Who heard on the Sky commentary, after Nelson had robbed Torres with yet another masterful tackle: " ... like taking candy from a baby!"

Choice!

He was the side panel of a well parked bus

Seems unlikely to me, but who am I to question the wisdom of English football journalists

player/coach then? :P

It would be awesome but I just don't get the feeling he'd come back here. 

He doesn't even come here for the all whites, doubt he'd quit QPR to come here.
