Match Preview;
So whenever we play Derby, of course the mind goes back to that day in May 2014 and the joy of Bobby Zamora's last minute winner, and I'd hate to dampen any of that joy...but I'm afraid I am also a realist. Since that day, we have played Derby 10 times. Of those 10 games, we have won 2, lost 5 and drawn 3. This year, Derby have not started well, having won only 1, lost 5 and drawn 3. They have drawn their last 3 1-1, and scored only 5 in the league so far. In Philip Cocu, Derby have their first foreign manager, and looking at his career so far he has played at the very top of the European game, and had a successful management spell at PSV and then moved to Fenerbahçe, where he only lasted 16 matches.

As for us, I am sure many of us have watched and re-watched the last minute screamer from Dominic Ball from Saturday...a brilliant goal, but most importantly, 3 points secured. To kick on and secure another win would cement our mid-table position, and still early in the season, give us a platform to build on going forward. It'll be interesting to see if Warburton makes any changes from Saturday. There were obviously some massive positives, but the fact remains we still conceded two goals, and we need to stop doing that because we won't always be able to go and score 3.

I'll add team news when it goes on the official, and as always, others can add what they know.

Enjoy those who will be watching, and as always...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!

 

All aboard the promotion train.

 

It's not the same without Keogh!

 

Sadly there is no film that I can find of our 5-1 at the old Baseball Ground in 1975, the win against the reigning champions which made us all sit up and think ‘hang on, we really are pretty good, aren’t we....’ Bowles hat trick.

 

This is from the season before, when they were on their way to winning the league....and we smashed them again! Don Givens with another hat trick

 

On the telly here in Sweden- no QPR+.

 

Lovely finish for our third. Love how the ball basically stops dead after the long ball into the box for our first - the state of that pitch!

 

Yes - there should be streams!

 

I have just checked and for me it’s is not on the telly, but I guess there will be no QPR+.

 

It looks like it's the same here. They show CL, Scum v Renne instead. Unbelievable...

 

So far QPR is only on Viaplay, a streaming site connected to the Viasat tv.

 

Looks like that costs another £30!

 

I hope that some kind person will share a safe link!

 

I would check out hesgoal.com tomorrow seems to have the live championship game on. Had no issues with it so far!

 

Yepp, Viasat is the provider of PL, Chumpions league and Championship footy.

 

I like the sound of Chumpions League - sounds like the sort of competition we'd be good at, how do we qualify?

 

WE can't we need to be part of what's known as the big pricks!

 

I remember the return match that season, 1-1 with our goal scored by Phil Nutt who was hardly heard of again after that...

Sounds like it's different in Norway from Sweden. Norwegian TV2 have the PL, Vsport have CL, other European football, the Championship and American football, then Norwegian football is on other mostly free channels, Eurosport and others. Very expensive if you pay for all of it, I just pay for Vsport because sometimes they show the R's, and I watch some American football, but not the R's tomorrow it seems.
