Q.P.R vs Bolton Wanderers - Match Thread

Hope it's a good game and we'll post updates/opinions in here

Prediction - 3-2 to Bolton

Phil Dawkes reports: "Four of QPR's new signings start for their first game back in the Premier League. Danny Gabbidon is in the heart of defence, Keiron Dyer is at right-back, and DJ Campbell and Jay Bothroyd form a front three with Tommy Smith. Bolton hand debuts to two of their summer signings, midfielders Chris Eagles and Nigel Reo-Coker, while Ivan Klasnic partners Kevin Davies in attack."

Bolton
Guessed formation : 4-4-2

Jaaskelainen
Robinson - Cahill - Knight - Steinsson
Petrov - Reo-Coker - Muamba - Eagles
Klasnic - Davies

Q.P.R
Guessed formation 4-3-2-1 (the free role would count in the 3?)
Kenny
Dyer - Hall - Gabbidon - Hill
Derry - Faurlin
Taarabt (free role)
Campbell - Smith
Bothroyd


Ref: Atkinson

From the BBC:

 

Good luck today, is pratley playing for you ?

 

we really need to start with a bang, here's hoping 3-0
COYR's

 

QPR: Kenny, Hill, Derry, Hall, Gabbidon, Taarabt, Dyer, Campbell, Bothroyd, Faurlin, Smith

QPR subs: Murphy, Orr, Buzsaky, Connolly, Agyemang, Helguson, Ephraim

 

Don't know, waiting for line-ups on BBC. I'll put them up when they show up.

Probably though.

 

Radio said that Reo-Coker and Eagles get their debut with Klasnic along side Davies.

So I guess

Jaaskelainen
Robinson - Cahill - Knight - Steinsson
Petrov - Reo-Coker - Muamba - Eagles
Klasnic - Davies

CM's subject to swap, dunno what side Reo-Coker plays on.

EDIT- Any chance you can conduct that QPR team into a formation so I can copy and paste it into original post for people to look.

 

Kenny
Dyer Hall Gabbidon Hill
Derry Faurlin
Taarabt (free role)
Campbell Smith
Bothroyd

 

Updated, cheers

One guy on BBC Focus thinks we'll win and the other guy thinks Q.P.R win.

 

Offside goal for Q.P.R lol - Disallowed.

Terrible defending apparently.

 

Dyer limping!

 

Liverpool just missed a penalty for anyone interested

 

Dyer stretchered off.

Ouch.

 

Who would have put money on Dyer lasting only 5 minutes on his Premiership debut with QPR???????

 

Dyer lasted 7 minutes!

 

I didn't expect him to get injured that quickly. Feel sorry for him, but apparently has dampened the Q.P.R crowd after getting that disallowed goal so it could have a positive effect for Bolton.

 

Close. QPR so near to bagging the opener as DJ Campbell's initial shot is cleared by Gretar Steinsson but only as far as Jay Bothroyd, whose powerful, goal-bound shot from 15 yards is headed over by the defender. Great chance, great block. Suspicion that Kieron Dyer's injury earlier, by the way, is a broken metatarsal. How's your luck?

From BBC.

 

Going forward, we look bloody good. In defence, I'm worried. Every. Single. Time.

 

You won't get many Kevin Davies' .

 

Apparently, our keeper has been busy and you've had the best chance, but Bolton don't look like a struggling side and we are doing well when going forward.

Looks like it could be close.

 

QPR looking the more likely to break the deadlock at Loftus Road. DJ Campbell runs in behind the Bolton defence but he is taken wide before teeing up Tommy Smith, whose shot from an angle is saved by Juusi Jaaskelainen. They need to make this dominance count.

From BBC.

I'm worried.
