BOBBY Zamora was a boo-boy target for a section of QPR fans in the opening game against Sheffield Wednesday – and his manager is mystified.

There were ironic jeers when the big striker (pic) won a header after a quiet first half, and then saw little of the ball throughout the game.

He partnered new boy Charlie Austin in the Capital Cup win over Exeter for the first half, but it was sub Andy Johnson alongside Austin at Huddersfield on Saturday with Zamora left on the bench.

Harry Redknapp admits he’s anxious about overusing the forward who has postponed a pelvic operation to play this season, and reckons it’s the reason he’s desperate to find a fourth forward.

“I don’t know why (Zamora got stick),” said Redknapp, “He played last season when he wasn't really fit, and he's trained his socks off and had a fantastic pre-season to get himself fit, so I don't why he's got himself grief.

“This is a tough league: Saturday, midweek, Saturday midweek, and I still need four strikers.

“Bobby’s injury record and Andy’s, (is a concern) and Andy was great against Wednesday, but you still need four strikers so we can rotate.”
