‘Duty to the fans’ stopped Ramsey dropping Chery

Chris Ramsey considered dropping Tjaronn Chery for QPR’s win against Bolton.

Chery was disciplined by the club for a petulant reaction to being substituted by the Rangers head coach during the recent 4-0 defeat at Fulham.

Ramsey, who is without the injured Charlie Austin and Jamie Mackie, was furious with the Dutch midfielder but decided against leaving him out.[phone][/phone]

“I did think about it,” Ramsey admitted. “But he came and apologised. He was frustrated, he’s a young man and he made a mistake.

“It hasn’t gone unpunished – we have to have standards at the club. So people need to know he hasn’t got away with it.

“But, on the other hand, I’ve got a duty to the fans as well as my own ego, which would have led me to deal with it differently.”

Chery responded with an impressive display and a superb goal in Rangers’ 4-3 victory against Wanderers.

It leaves them 11th in the Championship table after 10 matches.
