Match Day Thread Watford vs QPR

[MickMack]

I’m fulling expecting to get thumped at Twatford and almost certainly this time tomorrow I’ll be losing all interest in football……..however I can’t help feeling quite excited about the coming season and buzzing for tomorrows match.

It’s the hope that kills you

This time last year (and even more at 5pm the following day) I lived in fear for the season.

This time I'm even more gloomy.

But this is QPR, the last time I felt this way Warnock took us up.

Remember how pissed off and disappointed most were at signing Ryan Nelson ?
He proved his worth if I remember correctly?

Hoping we are proved wrong again….as you say, it’s the Rangers way

 

[MickMack]

Derry, Mackie and Clint Hill were three of the most underwhelming signings ever.

Going to need the same from Colback, Smyth and Fox.

Gonna need hard drugs and an endless supply of alcohol to get us through this one I fear

Luckily Staines has a plentiful supply of both…..roll on the new season

Beer brain mate. I can't wait for this season to be over already.

I think it was us trying to remember “that bloke” who scored a late goal against Leicester....Someone may have answered while I was having my 730th loo break

The doctor concurs with your prognosis on the alcohol.
Only last night, l was self medicating on my prescription.

I'm trying to numb myself into unconciousness tonight so that tomorrow passes me by

Any chance of it being cancelled due to waterlogged pitch?

Please.

Looking at the weather forecast, it may have a big impact on the game. That said, it’s more likely to affect our hoofball than their neat passing game.

The bookies have us binned...

There is a packed Championship schedule on Saturday
- QPR won only four of their last 30 matches last season

QPR stayed up by the skin of their teeth last season and face Watford in their season opener on Saturday, who have brought in Valerien Ismael as their new manager over the close season.

Watford vs QPR (Saturday, 3pm)
Bet 1: Watford to win

QPR battled against the drop for much of last season, with their form taking a major dip around the time of the World Cup.

They look to have a weaker squad this time than they did in 2022-23 and were recently beaten 5-0 in a pre-season friendly by Oxford.

The R’s are dealing with an injury crisis in defence that means that they have just one senior central defender fit for this clash.

Watford have made some shrewd signings over the summer and should be better than they were last time around, they can win this one.

Bet 2: Over 2.5 goals

With QPR’s injury issues at the back, it is likely that this could become a high-scoring clash and there have been nine goals in the last three head-to-heads between this pair.

Only Blackpool conceded more goals than the R’s last season and over 2.5 goals is the play in this one.

Bet 3: Ryan Porteous to be shown a card

Ryan Porteous was a solid addition to the Watford backline but his reputation from Scotland preceded him and he continued his tendency to attract the attention of the referee in the Championship.

The former Hibs man was booked 12 times across stints at both clubs last season and looks likely to pick up where he left off this time around.

Back Watford to win, over 2.5 goals and Porteous to be shown a card any time at 7/1 with LiveScore Bet

 

[Sutfol]

Sounds like they’ve got that spot on.

 

[Quite Possibly Raving]

Goodness, can't remember the last time I enjoyed the football not being on so much.

I'm more optimistic than most of you about our chances this year and I'm very worried still
