da bwin: Hasselbaink has had a pretty poor start to his time with QPR and it has only got worse as the R’s have lost Charlie Austin in the January transfer window.
da 888casino: If the Dutchman is to help fix his club’s woes then it will be crucial that they reinvest properly in this transfer window, too. Losing a star player can do a huge amount of damage to a Championship level side and Hasselbaink will need to turn things around after this window to prove that he can cut it at a higher level, after impressing as manager of Burton.
Promotion is a distant hope at this moment in time, but, with how quickly things can change in the Championship, it would be foolish to rule anything out, regardless of how poor the form has been for the West London club.
Could this be the XI to help the R’s make it back to the big time?
Alex Smithies
With Rob Green likely to be on his way out of the club this window, Alex Smithies looks like he is set to maintain his spot as QPR number one.
James Perch
This ex-Newcastle man has been remaining optimistic around the media after QPR’s recent poor form and is one of the ideal utility players in the Championship.
Perch could feature in the XI in almost any position.
Nedum Onuoha
Onuoha has never really matched the potential that he had when he was at Manchester City but is a player that is comfortably good enough for Championship football.
Able to cover at full-back Onuoha is a valuable member of the squad.
Joleon Lescott
With Aston Villa’s woes throughout this campaign, Lescott wouldn’t be at fault if he was looking to move on in this window and the ex-Manchester City centre-back would be able to provide crucial experience to the QPR squad.
Paul Konchesky
Another player with years of Premier League experience, Konchesky is a reliable left-back and has been well suited to his role in this QPR side.
The former Charlton man has featured in 28 games this season.
Alejandro Faurlin
After some horrible injuries, Faurlin is back to the quality midfield performances that he was producing a few seasons ago.
The Argentine central midfielder has a reassuring presence in the middle of the park.
Vurnon Anita
Considering the signing of Jonjo Shelvey, Anita’s role in the Newcastle squad is now under threat and, if Premier League clubs overlook him, he would be a stunning signing for any Championship club.
The Dutchman, like Perch, is a very versatile player and would be a brilliant technician for the Championship.
Matt Phillips
After his wonder strike in the Premier League last season, it is a surprise that Philipps has stayed at QPR and Hasselbaink would do well to keep his flying winger at the club in this window.
Massimo Luongo
This Australian midfielder has the most assists in the entirety of the QPR squad and is a dominating player in the centre of their side.
Luongo is crucial to making the Rs tick and will need to perform in the second half of his career.
Enzo Crivelli
With competition for his signature believed to be very high, Crivelli would be quite a coup for QPR.
A young forward with this level of promise would be quite an addition for the fans at Loftus Road and could step into Charlie Austin’s boots.
Conor Washington
QPR looked to League One when they needed to replace Charlie Austin and Washington comes into the squad with a huge amount of pressure.
If the ex-Posh star can’t find the net on a regular basis the decision makers at QPR may move him on rather quickly.
