After back-to-back draws on the road, R’s boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink will be keen to see his side end a demanding week on a high in front of the Hoops faithful. Tuesday’s performance at Sheffield Wednesday will certainly encourage the R’s gaffer, who saw his side claim a creditable 1-1 draw at Hillsborough. Visitors Birmingham, meanwhile, head to the capital just three points and one place outside the play-off places. Gary Rowett’s side beat struggling Bolton Wanderers 1-0 in midweek, thanks to Clayton Donaldson’s first half goal. Donaldson tucked away a low cross from Diego Fabbrini at the near post to notch his seventh goal of the season. please log in to view this image Possible Starting Xl please log in to view this image Birmingham City – Likely line-up (4-4-2): Kuszczak Robinson, Morrison, Shotton, Grounds; Fabbrini, Maghoma, Kieftenbeld, Buckley; Gleeson, Donaldson MATCH ODDS QPR win: 5/4 Draw: 12/5 Birmingham City win: 2/1 LAST TIME OUT Birmingham City 2, QPR 1 – Championship – Saturday 17th October 2015 Scorer: Birmingham City – Robinson, Caddis; QPR – Phillips HEAD TO HEAD QPR: 17 Draws: 13 Birmingham City wins: 22 MATCH OFFICIALS Referee: R East Assistant Referees: D Bryan & E Smart Fourth Official: P Tierney Played For Both QPR & BFC please log in to view this image please log in to view this image please log in to view this image please log in to view this image please log in to view this image please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Irish R's Fan Amy Deegan please log in to view this image
I'm going more for the chance to have some lunch and a pint with my dad on my birthday weekend rather than the 90 minutes of football. Hope we play well and win. Don't really care if we draw or even lose if we look like a team with a plan.
Not long to wait for the "excitement" of the team sheets. I wonder if we will have any suprises today.
Disappointing to see both new signing on the bench. Same back 4 Not sure how the midfield will go together. 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 or 4-1-3-2 ??? Henry Hoilett Luongo Phillips Chery Polter
Guess the team ... here are the subs. Substitutes Washington Konchesky Faurlin El Khayati Tözsér Ingram Petrasso
Hoilett must have something very unusual written into his contract to keep his place when playing so poorly.
Nice one Eamon! I am following the match on BBC "live" text and the Bet365 match schematic, which actually is real time, with a roar emitted when either team scores. Hopefully players from our bench come on and make an impact in the 2nd half. So why doesn't JFH switch it, play them in the 1st half, build a lead, then and bring on more defensive subs to hold that lead in the 2nd half? At this point in the season we don't seem to be in danger of relegation or making the playoffs for that matter, although as the team currently stands, promotion would be a danger, but another yo-yo season in PL would be great for our finances. Bet365 live stream coverage is Fulham v Boro (0-2), fast start, goal @ 3' Boro, now pen with 43% possession. 4 shots, 2 on target, 2 goals, that's how you get the job done. Charlton v Reading 1-1 (2 goals in the first 6 mins). Tractor Boys 1-0 up at Terriers.
