Sunderland have started the season, as have we, with four points from our opening two matches. They also got knocked out of the cup on Wednesday evening, losing 2-0 to Sheffield Wednesday. All on par with us.
Ross Stewart is their main threat, having scored 27 for them in 58 since joining from Ross County in 2021.

Pre-match Talk
Mick Beale (QPR head coach): “In this league, you have to fight tooth and nail for every point.
“What an atmosphere to go and play in this weekend. We will relish that and use it as motivation to go and get the result that we think we are capable of.”
Alex Neil (Sunderland head coach): “QPR are really dangerous with some really good forward players.
“It'll be a good test for us.”
Enjoy those who are going and as always...
