I can see why he was rated so highly a couple of years ago, think he just needed a good run of games as his career has been stop/start.
He has been brilliant the last few weeks

Better than the overrated JCS for me.
I wasn’t against us signing JCS if it had materialised but Panzo is an upgrade based on what I’ve seen so far
I don't think anybody thought after the first 5 games , our defence would be the best in the league by the world cup break
especially when we sold the Scottish Bobby Moore - who we’ve not missed at all and actually been far better without him
I am so glad I gave him those after burners off a jet fighter! God he was rapid at times today. I’ve never really noticed it before

Wonder if there is any chance we can sign him?
I assume Doyle is probably a no go though unfortunately

Bidwell and Mcfazdean are excellent defenders at this level and can coach and help younger players. Bidwell is head and shoulders above Mastsen for how we set up - hyam is just an irrelevance
The nonsense spouted about Bidwell on here was utterly ridiculous
Panzo we have a chance to sign you'd imagine. Didn't sbb come out during the signing and say we were haggling for a perm deal?
The team hardly concedes Shots on target anymore - the massive difference to last season is we don’t concede early goals and play catch up
In the first game against Sunderland Hyam was culpable as much as Moore and caught flat footed against Millwall
Without him and Maatsen we are a far better defensive unit
I guess it all depends on how the rest of the season pans out for us and Forest. If they stay up we might have a chance.
I thought he was excellent today.
Fingers crossed. Been brilliant last few games. So composed on the ball
Fans are obsessed with wing backs who bomb forward - Maatsen was poor defensively and ironically not good ar creating chances either
Played excellently today. Still has a moment of sloppiness in him, but has the pace to recover. Just disappointing that both he and Doyle are on loan and we only 'own' 2 centre backs.

I like Maatsen and thought he looked decent as an AM the few times we played him in that role. But Bidwell is experienced at this level for good clubs, knows how to defend and never gets caught too far up the pitch. Despite some comments on here he can also cross a ball
He was poor initially, I don't think anyone can deny that. It's clear now that he just needed some time to settle in and he's been brilliant this season. He was generally one of our better performers even in the poor run of results early season.
he wasn’t poor initially
He was, but it's okay.
EDIT - just here to comment that Panzo has settled in really quickly and looks the real deal. Real quality on the ball and positive running / passing.
I thought the same against Blackpool, but he was excellent today
JCS is too injury prone. Has missed a lot of games thisseaso and limped off again today.
You can say what you like about the rest of their games but Maatsen is categorically better at creating chances and the stats back that up.
Has a lot of moments where he switches off & his decision making is suspect at times, indeed some of QPR's best moments came from this, but he's improving all the time.
I've said before that he would have been perfect as one to sign & develop, shame we could only do a loan (for now at least).
