Following last Saturday's 1-1 draw at Bristol City, which extended Rangers' recent unbeaten run to five matches, boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink will be keen to see his charges extend that sequence this weekend. Nine points from a possible 15 represents a decent return for the Hoops, but the newly-appointed R's gaffer will be only too aware of the need to turn draws into wins if Rangers are to climb the table over the hectic festive period. It t certainly won't be easy for the R's against Mick McCarthy's side. Despite Ipswich losing their last two in front of their own supporters, the Tractor Boys currently occupy the fourth and final play-off position in sixth spot. After a winless eight match run in September and October, Town have charged back into the play-off picture over the last couple of months, with four wins on their travels putting McCarthy's men back in the mix for promotion. Defender Luke Hyam is available for the hosts after Town activated his 28-day recall option from Rotherham United, but hit-man David McGoldrick is set for a prolonged spell on the sidelines owing to a hamstring injury. The same can also be said for R's talisman Charlie Austin, who is set to miss the festive period with a hamstring injury, with Seb Polter likely to deputise again in his absence. please log in to view this image Possible Starting Xl's please log in to view this image please log in to view this image MATCH ODDS Ipswich Town win: 11/10 Draw: 23/10 QPR win: 13/5 LAST TIME OUT Ipswich Town 1, QPR 3 – Championship – Saturday 11th January 2013 Scorers: Ipswich – Smith; QPR – Kranjcar, O'Neil, Traore HEAD TO HEAD Ipswich Town wins: 28 Draws: 18 QPR wins: 25 MATCH OFFICIALS please log in to view this image Referee: D Drysdale Assistant Referees: A Young & R Smith Fourth Official: A Da Costa Played For Both ...

Actually more attacking than I thought. I thought it was going to be Henry, Ale, Sandro.........................with no CF So polter and JET this is your moment to shine
Best of luck and safe journey to those going. Will this be the day Fer does something? Probably not but we live in hope. Would be delighted with a point.
We can win this IF Polter plays well. We should be able to keep it tight, but who's going to score our winner?
Fer has done eff all to justify a place in the team in fact I'd struggle to find him a spot in the bench.
Looks like Stoke have filled in LVG's P45, a gutless display. Is that the same Mark Hughes who was so shyte at Loftus Road?...
Yup Col, but I thought he would play three midfielders in this match Sandro/Henry/Ale...not two..so more attacking than I thought And I bet you any money you like Poulter and JET will both play today...Jimmy is assessing how many forwards he needs to buy/loan in January These 3 matches are the only chance these two are going to get....one or the other (or both) need to take this opportunity
