Match Preview;
Massive match at the bottom of the table this Sunday as we face fellow strugglers, Huddersfield Town at home. Huddersfield haven't won since Boxing day, when they beat Blackburn 3-0. They then lost their next two, got thrashed by Man City in the cup, but have drawn their last two league games against Plymouth then Blackburn again. Their top scorer is Michael Helik with 8 goals, and they sit 21st, 3 points ahead of us and one all important place.

Interesting to note, we have only scored 4 less than their 28 goals this season, but have conceded 7 less than them, which suggests we are not doing well this year, but we aren't getting thrashed that often. Blackburn and Watford beat us 4-0, Coventry and Sunderland beat us 1-3, and West Brom and Millwall beat us 2-0, but our other ten losses have all been by a one goal margin. They are fine lines, but so far they aren't going our way. That needs to change if we are going to start winning a few in a row and getting out of this position. Great start would be back to back wins with three points on Sunday. Chair, Willock, Armstrong and Paal are all on 3 goals now, 2 behind leading scorer Dykes. If those five, particularly the attacking four, could all continue scoring crackers/lucky/taps ins (who cares how they go in, so long as they go in), I really can see us getting out of this position...but we need to keep attacking teams and going for wins.

Team news and manager comments to go up when on the official, enjoy if you'll make it to Loftus Road on Sunday, and as always...

...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

My wife suggested I didn’t go to this match as there’s been “quite a few this January”
Not an option, looking forward to seeing us move out of the bottom 3.

 

I'm going.
Huge game!

 

I’m going to my first game in about 4 years and my 11 year old son who’s shown no interest in watching or playing sport has asked to come with me. If it all goes wrong on Sunday it’s all my boy’s fault.

 

They never acknowledge when we don’t go at all in July. Ungrateful.

 

All I get is complaints about 'another' international tournament, and never getting a break. With the league of Nations thing, she probably has a point.

 

Cheers Dave.

Anyone planning to come in via Marylebone station (Chiltern line) this Sunday, it’s closed.

 

Steve Yates

 

It's another Oldham or Wigan!
Can't be there but COME ON YOU Rssssss!

 

In the sense they’re all horrific places.

 

I will be all but there.
Hope we have a good win.
A draw is not an option.
Let’s win & grin it!

 

The mother of all 6 pointers. This game is beyond huge for us, while a win would be superb we simply mustn't lose it. To move above them and out of the bottom 3 would be a massive confidence boost, but to lose and be 6 points behind them could be terminal I fear. Very very nervous about this one, but I have a feeling we're gonna nick it 1-0 with a Willock wonder goal ! You've all been told

 

With that intro, has all the hallmarks of a draw

 

I think/ hope the Chiltern line is terminating at West Ruslip on Sunday which is on central line...so should be ok

 

Hudds fans are pessimistic and desperately want Moore sacked. Sounds like that point at Blackburn was basically them sat in their half praying and Blackburn were too **** to take advantage. Next week is very winnable too if we’re positive.

 

Agree with all you say Hammersmith.
I am worried about how scared we looked before Chair scored last week. However, after we scored and in other matches too, we have looked a goodish team....capable of getting out of the mire.

However the fear that the team who played against Cardiff might turn up on Sunday scares me a lot

 

We’ll smash these dog-shaggers comfortably. Don’t worry.

 

That's our plan too Beth.

 

Are you ok Hammersmith? That's almost a positive post......
