Match Preview;
So we go to Brentford while they sit in 3rd place, 9 points behind the runaway top two, with 3 wins a draw and a loss in their last 5. A loss and they could fall to 6th, even 7th with a 19 goal swing. Ollie Watkins is clearly their main threat with 17 league goals so far this season, and has been quoted in the media this week dismissing a possible move away from the Bees in January.
We go into this having scored 11 in our last two games, and Saturday will be a stern test for our attacking force, as Brentford currently have the best defense in the Championship having only let in 20 goals so far this year. Interesting one this, because I must confess that I grew up always regarding Brentford as the local smaller team, as for a number of years they were at least a division below us, but historically they have the better of us in the stats. They are also heading to a brand new stadium before long, while we are still squabbling over what/where/how big a new stadium would be. Gotta hand it to them, they are doing well. Which would sort of make it even sweeter if we could go there and get a result...it is live on Sky though
.Team news
QPR: Yoann Barbet (hamstring), Charlie Owens (knee), Toni Leistner (doubt).
Brentford: Sergi Canos (knee), Nikos Karelis (knee).
Pre-match words
QPR manager Mark Warburton: “I’m expecting a very good footballing test. Brentford have been great at home and they have a very strong defensive record. They’ve conceded very few goals; they move the ball really well; they have good individual talents and collectively they are very strong. We know that we face another tough challenge but we have scored 11 goals in two games and we go into it full of confidence.”
Brentford manager Thomas Frank: “First and foremost, I'm looking forward to seeing Mark Warburton and his staff. We need to respect and understand the big impact he had here at Brentford. All of us are standing on the shoulders of others and he is the top foundation. He was part of creating that identity we have now.”
Enjoy those who are going and...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!
