Title: Conor Masterson
Post by: qprfan on Tuesday, January 19, 2021, 19:45:02
Hi guys, QPR fan here with some insight of your loan from us.
Masterson is very highly rated by every QPR fan, a lot of us believe he has the potential to go a long way in the game and is future captain material for us.
He's a ball playing centerback who's composed, links up play well and doesn't look too out of place in the championship so I imagine he'll be an excellent signing for you guys. There was a couple of games last season when he was arguebly MOTM for us.

He's pretty fast too so can get back quick enough to cover. His positional sense is pretty solid and he relies more on interceptions, marking and covering rather than flying in with a crunching tackle. All in all he's what you'd call a modern day centerback.

I'll be shocked if he doesn't do well for you guys as he always did a solid job for us. His issue at our club is that Barbet, Dickie and Hall last season were our preferred centerbacks due to their experience and reputation which is something Masterson lacks.
He's more than good enough for League one and you've pulled off a real coup bringing him in on loan!

I'm pretty pleased personally that he's joined you rather than some boring club like Wallsall or Gillingham  :D

Isn’t he out of contract in the summer?

Thanks for the heads up.  He sounds useful.

It's a lot to expect him to stem the flow of goals we are conceding. it'll certainly be 'character building'

Sounds positive, hopefully we can send him back to you with, as Batch says, character building experience under his belt and not a broken shell of a man. Which is what most of us are

He sounds like a substantial upgrade.

Thanks for the write up. Looking forward to seeing him play.

Nope, thankfully for us he signed a new 3 or 4 year deal a few months back!

Well if he can address the fact that we currently concede two goals or more basically every game (7 of the last 8 ) then he's more than welcome.

He's not particularly injury prone is he? We have seven centre backs on the staff already, they're just all made of balsa wood, terrible or both.

Thanks for the summary, he’ll be ruined by the time he returns to QPR, its the Swindon way.

Are you getting Scott Twine for a fiver as part of this deal?

What a cunt

Now look what you have done.
All set for a player swap with Curran and you have blown the deal.

That description reminds me of Jack Stephens when we had him...if he’s half as good as he was then he will be a brilliant signing  :)

And there were a few who hated him - I was not one of them!

Stephens was quality. Best centreback in the last 10 years i’d say

Think some got the Turnbull and Stephens mixed up from time to time...

Grant Hall must have improved some since we last saw him then. I thought he was gash.

He was our POTY when we first signed him and became our captain last season. IMO he was our best defender for years, the only problem was he had legs made of glass and was constantly out. He was doing well for Middlesbrough until he got injured again.

This match sticks in the mind for me, we were generally pretty good that season but safe to say we are not much of a cup team.

I don't remember any hatred levelled at Stephens back then but I could be very wrong. Turnbull on the other hand....


Title: Re: Conor Masterson

That first season Turnbull was here he was quality.

That 2nd season without Stephens beside him, utter crap

I would have Turbull back here tomorrow ahead of all the defenders we have had play for us this season bar Conroy. Exactly what we need in the defence someone who wants to attack the ball in his own box
