I am a tad concerned about this one, in fact more so than against city, where I didn't expect us to get anything. I thing in the last six games we have only managed to get two more points than rangers. They have some good players now -Remy and Samba. Hope we win

Good news if Zamora is indeed injured, as that basically puts to bed my fear that QPR might go two up top and just try and go for it (unless results change around quickly, Harry just has to go for broke at some point). I can't see him starting Boothroyd up top with Remy, and even if he wanted to start Taarrabt up top, I'm not sure he'd have the discipline to stay there as he would have been told. Who Harry picks at RB will be interesting. If he goes with Fabio or Boswinga, then I think Rickie will have a field day against them in the air at the back post (provided he gets the service...why thing that got me when watching his 100 goals this week, was how I miss Richardson and his balls to the far post for Rickie). If he goes with Onuoha though, then Rickie might face some aerial competition.
Another difference between the two managers. Redknapp dived into the chocolate birthday cake provided by the press...Mauricio said it was for his staff as he was on a diet (I had actually noticed that MP had put on a bit of weight since he got here, so probably true).
Ha, that would be fun. You don't need to be a tactical genius to notice that Poch has been playing a high pressing defence. I don't really see how Samba is going to be the man to undo all that. Newcastle dealt with it well and combined with a couple of mistakes (from our players and the refs), they deserved to beat us in the end. I would have thought that the blueprint for QPR was there. Anyway, we will have to wait and see how it unfolds.
Everything pretty equal except goals scored, although chances created suggest QPR just haven't been finishing chances off. We've also conceded more. If Harry want's to win, it might be a high scoring affair!
A chap from a bookies was looking at predictions of two Sky presenters. He pointed out that they had both made it a 2.2 draw...Where are QPR going to get 2 goals from? he said.
Hahahaha! Karl Swanborough according to aap3's site. Works in advertising for NewsQuest, and was at the Echo. Redknapp and Swanie under the same roof!! And Ben-Haim, and Cotterill! Oh boy, who to boo.....
