Since joining QPR on loan from Sheffield United, defender Rhys Norrington-Davies has quickly become a key player at left-back. More than anything, he has been impressed by the incredible support from the fans at Loftus Road, noting that the amazing energy in the stadium during home wins has been a memorable experience for him.
🤫 Keeping Expectations in Check
Despite a strong start after his arrival, Norrington-Davies believes it’s too early in the season to discuss major goals like promotion. He feels the league table will only start to take shape around the New Year. However, he is confident in the team’s potential. He explained that a solid defensive structure is crucial for success. If the team can prevent goals and the talented attacking players continue to score, he sees no reason why they can’t have a successful season.
🤔 The Decision to Join QPR
For Norrington-Davies, the choice to join QPR was an easy one. He shared that the club was looking for a left-back to come in and get regular playing time, which was exactly the opportunity he wanted. He was also drawn to the club’s ambition to improve on recent seasons and build a stronger campaign. The chance to contribute to this goal made the move very appealing.
🤝 A Strong Bond with the Manager
Norrington-Davies spoke highly of manager Julien Stephan. He praised the manager’s detailed preparation for each match, noting that the game plan is always clear and adapted to the opponent. He also values Stephan’s man-management skills. The defender feels that the team’s system, which features a back-four, is a perfect fit for his style. It allows him to focus on his defensive duties while also giving him the freedom to get forward and support the attack.
