Winger Hoilett missed the Charlton game with a hamstring problem but came on for the final 13 minutes of the defeat at Doncaster at the weekend, while midfielder Carroll was an unused substitute on his return from an ankle injury. Nedum Onuoha remains on the sidelines after suffering a recurrence of his hamstring injury while Alejandro Faurlin (cruciate) and Bobby Zamora (knee) are long-term absentees. Bournemouth, meanwhile, will assess top scorer Lewis Grabban ahead of the trip. The 25-year-old missed Saturday lunchtime's 1-1 draw with Brighton through illness and he will be assessed by the Cherries' medical staff ahead of Tuesday night's clash. Winger Matt Ritchie and defender Steve Cook look set to continue in the side having come through 90 minutes against the Seagulls. Ritchie marked his first start of the season with the game's opener while Cook was a surprise inclusion after being stretchered off against Derby. On-loan Arsenal defender Nico Yennaris joined the Cherries on Thursday and was an unused substitute at the weekend but is hoping for his debut at Loftus Road. please log in to view this image MATCH FACTS Bournemouth have not kept a clean sheet in their last 10 league trips to Loftus Road, though they have conceded exactly once in six of their last eight. QPR have conceded only two goals at home this season. No side has conceded fewer in the top four tiers of English football. The Cherries have scored seven goals from outside the area in open play this term, a joint league high with Yeovil. Rangers striker Charlie Austin - who was prevented from signing for Bournemouth in his non-league days because the Cherries were under a transfer embargo at the time - has scored four goals in his last four appearances at Loftus Road. The R's are unbeaten in 10 home league meetings with Bournemouth (W7 D3), a run that goes back to January 1959.

I'm looking forward to this one, somehow. Surely the old 2003 team will give a bit of oompf to the team. Please, Harry.... Let AJ start. We're at home to Bournemouth.
I have to report that I am VERY disappointed with the lack of manager pics on the recent MD threads. VERY disappointed! Things are slipping 'round 'ere....... Which Mod do I report to?
I spent ages looking for models with the surnames of Dickov and Howe and couldn't find any. Hopefully Barry Lusardi is the manager of Saturdays opponents and then we'll be back in business.
Nice to have a 7:45 start for a change, wish I'd brought my parka and not my work jacket though. It's bloody freezing!
The only way that will happen is if somehow they get a negative score. I'm going to try and watch the official stream, I'll report back if it works but it will only be for android.
I tried to get it to work by spoofing my mobile GPS but that doesn't work, looks like the only way to do it I'd to find an anonymous proxy for Malaysia or hope a Malaysian streams it but I can't find it in the usual places.
@OfficialQPR: .@OfficialQPR XI: Green; Simpson, Dunne, Hill, Assou-Ekotto, Carroll, Barton, O’Neil, Hoilett, Johnson, Austin. #QPRvBOU 4-4-2!!! Interesting!!
Many have their wish! -----------------------------Green-------------------------- Simpson--------------Dunne-----------Hill----------------BAE Oneill----------------Barton-------Carroll--------------Hoilett --------------------Austin---------Johnson------------------ It may pan out as a 4-4-1-1 with Johnson a little deeper. Can someone there please confirm the formation when it starts?
