Match Preview;
Stoke head into this game with very little to play for. They could potentially finish as high as 8th, but that is highly unlikely, or as low as 16th. Essentially, they don't have anything substantial to play for. Their top scorer is Jacob Brown, who has 13 goals so far this year. They have some very experienced players in their side, including Phil Jagielka and Joe Allen. Here's hoping that they will, mentally at least, already be on their summer break.
As for us, still the faintest chance of a playoffs, but highly unlikely. Three wins will get us to 72 points, and could get us into a playoff place...too early for us in my opinion. League table aside, there is a lot of competition for top scorer for the season...Chair, Dykes and Gray are all on 9 goals a piece.
From the official;
Team News:
QPR: Jordan Archer, David Marshall, Seny Dieng, Rob Dickie, Moses Odubajo and Chris Willock will miss out for the R’s, with Lee Wallace a doubt.
Stoke City: Nick Powell is edging closer to a return, but Harry Souttar continues to miss out
Pre-match talk:
Mark Warburton (QPR Manager): “Saturday will be a stern test - Stoke had a good result and clean sheet against Blackburn last time out.
"They have a very experienced squad, and pace and power run in their team, too. They are a dangerous team with international players.
"We've got to recognise that, but we know we have quality as well and we have to go there without fear and move the ball well.
"We have to be on the front foot and aggressive in our approach. We'll take confidence of course from our last two performances (against Derby and Huddersfield) and we know what we have to do."
Dean Holder (Stoke City Assistant Manager): “QPR are a very good team, they have players especially in the attacker areas who are very dangerous on their day.
"They have come off the gas a little bit in recent weeks, in terms of not picking up the results they would necessarily would have wanted but they are still just three points off the play-offs.
"For us it is about identifying their strengths and how to deal with them, but equally we need to look at where their vulnerabilities lie and making sure that we get the balance right once again."
Enjoy if you are making it to the game, and as always...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!
