    Looking forward to this, managed to get a £40 return on the train and hoping we play as well as we can.

    I think the support will be right behind them.

    Ha'way Lads, 3-1 after an early goal against ...

    ... winner on the 90th minute to annoy any early leavers, icing on the cake in the 99th <laugh>

    A chance to end the bad run and the beginning of some winnable games with some of our better players back over the next few weeks hopefully.
    Keep the faith lads.

    The goalkeeper disagreeing with the red! I mean the player sent off thought about it for a second but the keeper actually tries to argue it!

    Styles is listed on transfermarkt as having played left back twice in his career (5 goals conceded), most of his games have been on the left of midfield or in the middle. My instinct is that he can play LWB with a LCB behind him but not a straight LB, a bit like Denver Hume if you wish to bring up some traumatic memories.

    Another defeat I’m afraid, and a further slide down the table. Can’t see anything but a QPR win, as once again Dodds starting 11 will annoy everybody. Just hope it’s not a heavy defeat.

    0-1 (tho praying for an unlikely win)

    I think we'll get something from the game, we have had spells in recent games where we looked decent and perhaps even deserved a point from the Leicester game. I fancy a score draw, or maybe a sneaky late win if I'm allowed to be cheeky.

    I mean that defence scares the **** out of me. However, I think we'll click going forward for a 4-2 win.

    I have heard Dodds puts all the players names on a board, he then throws 11 darts and that is the starting 11. It’s bound to come good sometime.

    And we could be the 12th man to get these kids over the line and end this dreadful run, I honestly think if we had the place absolutely rocking it would make a huge difference

    This match will cost me about £100 by the time I've paid for trains, taxis, ticket, etc.

    It's one thing turning out at Wembley, or a semi-final, but true supporters put in the effort for games like this.

    If you find that arrogant ... sue me <laugh>

    I’ve seen far worse than what we are seeing now, context is needed. I get why people are sick but this isn’t a time to mope, we need to roar these kids on, it will make a massive difference. Support like yours and many more is what makes us the envy of premier league clubs, they would love support like ours. I’ve said it for years, imagine what it would be like if we had a good run of success

    QPR are a Championship side fighting for their lives ...

    ... it'll be interesting how wonderful their support is on Saturday.

    Cheers RTB, cracking thread as always.

    I was hoping there might have been some movement on the head coach front this week. Beginning to look like we are waiting to the summer. Wouldnt be my choice but I hope Dodds can use the games to show he may be a head coach one day.

    Defence looks a worry right now. QPR arent a great side, but they have improved significantly under their new coach. Was talking to a supporter this week who said they have been a different side altogether. I cant get too carried away after 6 losses on the spin, that sort of form takes some turning around. It becomes a mental thing sometimes. Hate to say it but a point would be a relief at this stage. 7 losses in a row doesnt bear thinking about.
