As 999's is not around this weekend and I don't know if Norway has the time to do all the detailed analysis that we are used to, if he has then this can be merged later on, but until then we can post here.... Anyway a trip North of Watford in the middle of winter or anytime come to that, doesn't usually bode well.....but maybe for once we may be surprised and turn in a decent display and return with 3 very welcome points..... Up the R's
Nines asked me to create todays match day thread while he's away enjoying Berlin. Bit hungover today but here's my best effort please log in to view this image please log in to view this image please log in to view this image TEAM NEWS Bolton have doubts over Gary Madine (back) and Jay Spearing (groin) but full-back Dean Moxey is expected to return after a dead leg. Striker Zach Clough returned from a hip problem as a substitute last week and suffered no reaction. QPR will give a late test to midfielder Alejandro Faurlin, who missed the home defeat by Fulham with a thigh problem. Striker Conor Washington has recovered from an ankle injury and could start and Tjaronn Chery could also start. MATCH FACTS Bolton have not taken any points from the last three league meetings against QPR (L3). The Trotters are looking to score in five consecutive league matches for the first team this season. Besides Blackburn, QPR are the only other team in the bottom half of the Championship to have kept 10 or more clean sheets this season. Bolton are one of three teams (along with opponents QPR and Reading) currently in the bottom half of the Championship that have lost fewer than four home games (3). After conceding just once in their previous four games before last weekend, QPR conceded three times against Fulham.

Faulin still injured yes.....The kick he received on his thigh against Ipswich, was pretty damn brutal...and he reacted to it...as it was nearly a career-ender...so not surprised he is still nursing that... Robinson also close too, but not today Henry is therefore a "no-brainer" to me...any thing but the Toszer who played last week So the only query in this team for me is Mackie...and even that is not really...if we are assuming that he will be replaced later on with El-K, Chery or Poulter. I think we should have expected exactly this team
