Match Preview;
We head to a Huddersfield side who are desperately seeking a return to the Premiership after three seasons in the Championship. They've won their last two, but before those two games, lost three and drew one...a bad run that saw them slip away from the top two. They are third, but four points behind second place Bournemouth, with Bournemouth having played two games less. Huddersfield's top scorer is Danny Ward, with 13 goals...and their squad has a good balance of youth and experience. They have a good, young manager in Carlos Corberán Vallet, who learnt his trade in Cyprus, before moving to coach at Leeds and then take over at Huddersfield in 2020.
As for us, not much excitement around the end of the season now...but let's have a look at the possibilities. Having lost our last five games any chance of a playoff place is surely now beyond us. No way are we going to make up the six point gap. Dykes and Gray are now joint top scorers, with 9 each...and Chair is just one behind them. With just five games to go, here's hoping we stay in the top half of the table, and use the summer to work out what on earth went so badly wrong this season, and ensure it doesn't happen again next season.
Team News:
QPR: Jordan Archer, David Marshall, Seny Dieng, Rob Dickie and Chris Willock will miss out for the R’s, with Yoann Barbet and Lee Wallace doubts.
Huddersfield Town: Matty Pearson will miss out, whilst Jonathon Hogg and Danny Ward will return.
Pre-match talk:
Mark Warburton (QPR Manager): “ We know what we must do, Huddersfield are a good team, they are good at home, they are on a good run of form, they have some good individual talents throughout their side, but we know how to deal with it.
“We were good in the home fixture, obviously Luke (Amos) got the winner back in November where we showed we can hurt them, we must be on the front foot.
Carlos Corberán (Huddersfield Town Manager): “I remember perfectly that we lost against QPR in London, which was a demanding game, and tomorrow is going to be the same. Many of the same players will play tomorrow that did when we lost to them, so we will have to be at our best.
Enjoy if you are going to (mad enough to...) make the trip and as always...
COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!
