Match Day Thread QPR vs Swansea

Michu won his only cap for Spain for us.

His habit of kicking the advertising hoardings came back to haunt him

 

Red button game.

 

That’s good - on second thoughts - may not be so good ….

 

Last time I tried to red button it on the iPad there was no link to our game. Not at home tonight so will try again but there’s a globally available club stream for a tenner if anyone is interested (form an orderly queue).

 

...and on Friday at Brum too

 

Main game Friday.

 

I haven't seen us win since Wigan last October.

Today has been difficult.. please can we win tonight. Please

 

Ah, good.

 

Bashir Humphreys makes his Swansea City debut as one of five changes made by head coach Michael Duff for tonight’s Championship clash with Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road (7.45pm).

The on-loan Chelsea centre-half comes into the side, along with Ben Cabango, Josh Ginnelly, Jamie Paterson and Liam Cullen.

Kristian Pedersen, Harry Darling, Josh Tymon, Jerry Yates and Charlie Patino drop to the bench after starting the south Wales derby.

Carl Rushworth continues in goal, with Cabango and Humphreys lining up alongside Nathan Wood in the Swansea defence.

Paterson and Ginnelly are expected to join captain Matt Grimes, Jay Fulton and Paterson in midfield, with Cullen and Jamal Lowe leading the line for the Swans.

Queens Park Rangers: Asmir Begovic (captain), Osman Kakay, Steve Cook, Chris Willock, Sam Field, Ilias Chair, Paul Smyth, Morgan Fox, Andre Dozzell, Kenneth Paal, Sinclair Armstrong.

Substitutes: Joe Walsh, Jake Clarke-Salter, Lyndon Dykes, Elijah Dixon-Bonner, Ziyad Larkeche, Charlie Kelman, Stephen Duke-McKenna, Albert Adomah, Rayan Kolli.

Swansea City: Carl Rushworth, Josh Key, Jay Fulton, Ben Cabango, Matt Grimes (captain), Jamal Lowe, Josh Ginnelly, Jamie Paterson, Liam Cullen, Nathan Wood, Bashir Humphreys.

Substitutes: Andy Fisher, Kristian Pedersen, Harry Darling, Jerry Yates, Josh Tymon, Charlie Patino, Mykola Kuharevich, Harrison Ashby, Ollie Cooper.

 

His mates call him Martin.

 

Sorry to hear it has been a difficult one Beth...hoping your day at least ends on a high. Been a long/tiring day for me, and given I am an hour ahead, highly suspect anything but a thrilling first half and I'll be hitting the sack at half time.

 

Attacking lineup. We either smash them or get smashed!

 

Yep...with Armstrong, Willock and Chair we'll either rip them to shreds or be caught on the break. Should be an entertaining game.

 

The last 5 games I've watched us on the red button we've won 3 and drawn 2 ! Also on 3 of them the pic has been fine, but the commentary has been of another game lol ! Surprised Dykes is on the bench again tonight, but it's way past time that Wilock showed us some class again, and hopefully Chair can put on a show. An Armstrong brace would be lovely. 1 home win in 16 games doesn't inspire confidence, but we really do need to put a poor Swansea side to the sword tonight ! Hopeful, come on u rrrrrr's

 

At home, I'd always want Dykes and Armstrong to start together

 

When did Willock last start a game?

 

Flat back 4? Looks like 433?

 

If we cant play both Dykes and Armstrong I'd sooner start with Dykes and bring Armstrong on later.

 

Ipswich at home, 19th August.
