I think he'd probably be a bit better than what we've got as a back up to Tomlin, but he's another who is probably best suited to play a bit deeper and I'm sure Barnsley would still want a decent fee for him - it reads like a loan deal in January with a view to a permanent transfer type situation to me.
Interesting to see a link to a story there about that the player QPR fans would most want back out of those who have left the club in the last five years and the "almost unanimous choice is Alex Smithies.
