My bet is that there will be no changes. Had Diame been fit he may have started, but my bet is that he would have been on the bench. Thing is, we have a good bench with able deputies in all positions.
I don't think Quinn does get around more than Meyler, in fact I think he's one of our most hardworking players. Quinn doesn't run at opponents either, he's slow as ****. Not all your players need to be able to run at people, just because he doesn't have bags of quality doesn't mean he doesn't deserve his place, he's very useful.
You'd always pick Meyler over Quinn if he's having a good day, trouble is you never know which one's going to turn up.
Dont panic. QPRs best p[layer Leroy Fer is out for 8-10 weeks. Even if Austin starts Macca just needs to kick his dodgy knee and that will do. Rangers are a poor team who without Austin would be down already. I am so relaxed about this game i am almost asleep.
We all know how bad Caulker is and Rio is slower than a tortoise. If Rio gets caught up field he will be done. Clint Hill is also another who will be stripped by pace. It is our game to lose. If we are anywhere near the Man City level then nobody(hull fans) will have any worries on the day.
Great optimism, but the cliche 'there are no easy games in the Premier League' is a cliche for a reason. We have a bad habit of giving three points to struggling teams, and QPR come off the back of their 1st Away win of the season. At times against Villa, we couldnt get the ball back and whilst they never had that 'cutting edge' and make the 'killer pass', QPR might have more of them up top than Villa and might test the bck three more. The game is one I am sure was targetted as a win at the start of the season, but that doesn't mean it will be easy. Oh - just seen Lawro has us to win . . . . FFS
Good interview for a qpr site with a city fan here http://www.indyrs.co.uk/2015/02/opposition-qa-hull-city-quite-simply-i-hate-allam/
With Diame out which is a shame, I was looking forward to him and N'Doye playing together, I think it will be the same team as Villa game.
don't worry about Meyler he's always been one who's form is good game/bad game and he was decent against Citeh then crap against Villa so tomorrow must be one of his good games.
Lets hope the good David Meyler turns up, because when he's bad he's awful, when he's good he's good, no grey area with him, but one thing you get with him is 100 % effort.
If you know anything about football, especially the Prem, then you don't write any team off. Remember Burnley?
Just been on a QPR forum,they think they'll play 4-2-3-1 with Austin up front.With Taarabt or Zarate replacing the injured Fer. I'd imagine City will be unchanged,although I'd like to see Ramirez in the side purely for his ability to keep possession in the opponents half. Confident of a win but QPR aware now Redknapp-less,which improves their chances greatly.
Lets hope that Taarabt performs again like he did before when he was demanding to come off because the crowd were railroading him. Funniest thing at the KC ever.
