QPR are the most likely team to stay up our of the 3 promoted sides on paper. They have a number of players who have got talent and know how to play decent football. They also have a certain aggression with Joey Barton in their side. At the start of the season you would say that Adel Taarabt would stand out in this QPR team like he did last season but I fear he maybe struggle with the pace of the Premier League and will definitely not have enough time as he did in the Championship. The problem with QPR though will be a gamble on some players fitness like Kieron Dyer, Danny Gabbidon, Wright Phillips and Jamie Mackie who are all known to have been hit with injuries in one way or another. QPR will need to be on the ball all season and make Loftus Road into a real fortress.

It's important to remember that what we say and how we say it can have a strong impact on a players social and psychological development. So full consideration should be given to every piece of knowledge we impart on children, this way each session can maximise effectiveness. However, many coaches have seen other coaches, parents, players teammates consistently put youn...
