Match Preview;
Today I am exhausted as I was too excited to sleep after the game yesterday evening, but so good to wake up and smile when reflecting on a QPR game, wanting to re-watch the highlights and hear 'Hi ho silver lining' blasting out from loud speakers! You R's!!! Most pleasing to see Dykes make all those of us who were screaming for him to be taken off at half time look silly. Hats off to him, and to Cifuentes for whatever he said! Even Willock showed glimpses of his former self, plus Reggie Cannon looks like he could be handful when fully fit. Amazing what a win does isn't it! That said, we are still in the bottom three, but now 3 points off 21st placed Huddersfield Town, who play Sunderland tonight.
Our hosts on Friday evening, Preston North End, sit 7th, but have lost three and won two of their last five. They picked up just 2 points from 5 games in October, so if it weren't for the fact they started the season with six straight wins, they'd be much lower down the table. Their top scorers are Duane Holmes, Milutin Osmajic and Will Keane (better add him to the 'played for both' list), with 4 goals each.
Team news and manager comments to go up when/if on the official, enjoy if you'll be at the game, long way to go on a Friday night, so hats off to you...and as always...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!
