Match Preview;
After a very impressive, and somewhat unexpected, away win against league leaders Leicester City, we now face the challenge of maintaining that level of performance as we host fifth place West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday night. They will be looking to further secure a playoff spot as after three wins, a draw and a loss in their last five games, they currently sit fifth, four points from seventh placed Norwich, but eleven points behind fourth placed Southampton. Their top scorer is Brandon Thomas-Asante with 10 goals, followed by John Swift with 8.

As for us, three wins on the bounce, up to 19th but only out of the relegation zone on goal difference, with us, Birmingham City, Huddersfield Town and Stoke City all on 38 points. Sheffield Wednesday, currently 21st, have also won four of their last five so they could easily enter the mix too. I'm relieved though, to see a few more of our lads start to hit the back of the net, with Chair and Dykes leading the chart with 5 a piece, and now Willock, Paal and Armstrong all on 4. With Millwall and Blackburn playing each other on Wednesday, getting a win will guarantee we move up at least a place, if not more as Plymouth are playing Sheff. Wednesday.

Team news and manager comments to go up if on the official, enjoy if you are making it to HQ on Wednesday night, and as always...

...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

 

Found it very hard to get to games this year so this will be my first visit to Loftus Road this season. Can't wait. COYRs.

 

This day, 1967….

 

On current form.....

Current 2023/24 Championship Form Table, Last 6 Matches, Home and Away
Pos Team Pts
1 Leeds United 16
2 Ipswich Town 16
3 Norwich City 14
4 Preston North End 14
5 Queens Park Rangers 13
6 Sheffield Wednesday 12
7 West Bromwich Albion 11
8 Hull City 11
9 Huddersfield Town 10
10 Leicester City 9

Two form teams playing each other. Take a draw?

 

Rather be greedy and take a win. But not losing would be a good second best.

 

Don't like the look of our defence in that pic. They've got a man free in oceans of space, while two of ours are scratching their arses on the edge of the area.

Do you know what game that was, Dave?

 

I'd take a draw then 3 against Boro on Saturday. However, a win must be on the cards!

 

4 from the next two would be my prediction

Nice one Dave, I'm going for a 3-2 win

 

Cheers Dave. Thankfully no additions to the ‘played for both’ list as the couple of Baggies fans I know are relatively normal.

Looking forward to this, and seeing what the club will do to celebrate Stan.

 

Reckon it was QPR Vs Leeds in February 2019. Googled Loftus Road night game and there you go.

 

I just hope that the highly strung emotions linked to Stan will not adversely impact our performance.

It should be quite an evening.

 

Let’s keep celebrating Stan with wins

 

The current coaches, players and owners don’t have any real connection with Stan. This is about him and the fans, especially fans of a certain generation.

 

I believe that the Stan Bowles stand will have a some form of tribute to Stan. I guess it is organized by the Club.
