GAMBLOG UK - WE ARE QPR - Marcus Bean Sure Talks A Good Game

"It's all a bit awkward really."

Bean, understandably, is feeling a little down on his luck.

Recruited when injuries struck down Kris O'Leary and Owain Tudur Jones in early September, he played every league game through to Rotherham away on October 22, when his first Swansea goal should have earned three points rather than one.

Seven days later he dropped out of the 16 for the home game against Chesterfield, and a 5-1 home win meant the writing was on the wall.

"The way it happened upset me a little bit," he admits.

"I thought I was playing pretty well, I got my goal and then I was left out.

"I'm quite happy to do my time on the bench, but if I'm not even getting in the squad then maybe it's best that I go back to QPR.

"We only lost one game in the time I was in the side, but you've got to respect the manager's decision."

Bean is maintaining hope that Jackett will have another change of heart in the future.

He has looked more settled during his second stay on this side of the Bridge, and heads back to London with a hat-trick of Welsh forays on his mind.

"If it was down to me," he says, "you definitely wouldn't have seen the last of me in a Swansea shirt.

"I love the club, I love the fans, I love the lads and I love the area, so it's fair to say I would like to come back."

The pull of Swansea, Bean says, is the progress the club have made over the last 18 months.

"I remember when I first joined, the gaffer said to me that Swansea could overtake his two old clubs, Watford and QPR.

"At the time I never really believed him, but having been here and seen the fans and the stadium, I think he could be right.

"Swansea are heading in the right direction and hopefully I might be back in the future to play a part."
