Match Preview;
Hull sit three places and four points behind us, in 16th with 34 points. So far, this year, they have beaten Wigan, then drawn with Huddersfield Town, and most recently lost to Sheffield United...with a cup loss to Fulham in early January too. Their top scorer is Óscar Estupiñán, who has 12 goals so far this year, and is clearly their main threat as next on their scorers list is Ozan Tufan, with 4 goals. Their problems so far this season have been at the other end of the pitch. Only bottom of the table, Wigan, have conceded more than their 44 goals, which doesn't reflect well on former R's goalie, Matt Ingram, who is their #1. Improving this stat will be key for their manager, Liam Rosenior, who took over at Hull in November 2022 following the sacking of Shota Arveladze at end of September.
As for us, four draws and a loss in the last five and we are, somehow, only four points away from 6th. A good run could still make for an interesting end to the season, but that run will have to start now. Dykes and Willock continue to lead the scoring chart, with 6 each...followed by Chair and Roberts who now have 4 each. After the Swansea draw, Critchley said he felt we won the ball back and pressed well, and having watched the game, I'd say we did that in parts, but often it took too long to get the ball forward. I know none of us want to see us lump the ball forward; but at the same time, I was frustrated by the constant passes across the back line. Is the problem that they are set up to protect possession, or that there aren't any options available to defenders who are looking to play the ball forward? I'm sure others, particularly those who were there, will be able to give some insight.
Team News
QPR: Skipper Stefan Johansen is in line to return for Rangers. There will be a late check on Lyndon Dykes (illness) - but Ethan Laird and Leon Balogun are out through injury.
Hull: Jacob Greaves and Ryan Longman are injury doubts. Benjamin Tetteh is absent through suspension.
Pre-match Talk
Neil Critchley (QPR head coach): "Of my six league games so far, we've lost one but only one won, too.
"If you look at the four draws, we should have turned some of those results into wins - those extra points would put us where we want to be this season.
"There is such a fine margin between teams. We're nearly there, but nearly's not good enough and we have to be better."
Liam Rosenior (Hull head coach): "Neil is a very good coach and QPR are a very good team. They should have won their last game against Swansea and have real attacking threats at the top end of the pitch - Ilias Chair, Chris Willock and Jamal Lowe.
"Lyndon Dykes is a great target man and Stefan Johansen could return in midfield.
"So it's not going to be easy - they've been unlucky not to get some of the results they've deserved since Neil's taken the job. It's going to be a difficult test and it's not one we'll underestimate."
...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!
