QPR fans on Twitter discuss possible striker options
QPR fans on Twitter have been discussing who could solve the club’s striker crisis.
Charlie Austin and Jamie Mackie both suffered injuries during the 4-0 defeat against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Friday and face spells on the sidelines.
Many supporters are hoping Rangers sign a forward on loan, with Arsenal’s Joel Campbell, Manchester United striker James Wilson, Dwight Gayle of Crystal Palace and Newcastle teenager Ivan Toney among those mentioned.
#QPRFC got to be looking for a striker on loan. Joel Campbell at arsenal or Wilson at utd — Simon Willmott (@SimonW02) September 28, 2015
No chance of Gayle on loan from palace?

@PeterJeffery7 Ivan Toney on loan would be perfect right now — Mitchell Procter (@QPR_Procter) September 26, 2015
But others feel the solutions lie within the club’s squad, with Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Sebastian Polter and Reece Grego-Cox being championed.
Perhaps Chery and @OfficialJET10 up top. Then bring Sandro and @LeroyFer10 into the midfield. #QPR
