Hughes Names His 25...

Following the closure of the transfer window, 5pm today was the deadline for Premier League Managers to announce their 25 man squads for the rest of the season. QPR Manager Mark Hughes has named the following...

Full squad:

1 Kenny
2 Traore
3 Hill
4 Derry
5 Hall
6 Taarabt
7 Zamora
8 Hulse
9 Campbell
10 Bothroyd
11 Diakite
12 Mackie
13 Gabbidon
14 Buzsaky
15 Taiwo
16 Onuoha
17 Barton
18 Young
19 Smith
20 Helguson
21 Cerny
22 Murphy
23 Wright-Phillips
24 Ferdinand
25 Cisse

Rob Hulse was perhaps the surprise inclusion but has obviously shown his worth to Mark Hughes in the short time he has been here and started his first game in a year, last night away at Aston Villa. Alejandro Faurlin and Kieron Dyer, included in the previous squad, have already been ruled out for the rest of the season through injury and on-loan Manchester United forward Federico Macheda does not need to be included because he is under 21.

Notable exclusions are Hogan Ephraim, Peter Ramage, Patrick Agyemang and Danny Shittu who now become available for other clubs. Personally, we are light in the midfield department and Ephraim being left out has surprised me as it has others no doubt and he is a player I rate. But I guess at this point in time, we have to place our trust in Hughes's judgement here. But it is so very pleasing to read down that squad list and see so much quality at QPR!!

Come on You R'ssssssss!!
