Loic Remy! 2-0! Game over!
QPR XI: Green; Simpson, Dunne, Hill, Assou-Ekotto, Phillips, Jenas, Barton, Hoilett, Faurlin, Austin. #QPRvDER

Derby XI: Grant, Wisdom, Keogh, Buxton, Forsyth, Eustace, Hughes, Bryson, Ward, Dawkins, Martin. #QPRvDER
It will be interesting to see how the midfield is set up. Will Hoilett play behind Austin? Will Jenas and Faurlin play deeper with Barton ahead of them? Or will Faurlin play further forward? I'd like to see this:
----------------------------Green--------------------------
Simpson--------------Dunne---------Hill-----------------BAE
-------------------Jenas----------Faurlin-------------------
Hoilett---------------------Barton--------------------Phillips
-------------------------Austin----------------------------

Good side. I'd probably switch Jenas and Barton. I think that's been one of our main weaknesses when it comes to scoring goals - none of our central midfield players are goalscorers on a regular basis. And also have Hoilett and Philips the other way round.
Might Barton play wide(ish) right and Hoilett behind?
I like that team and the way you have set them up Col. But reading into what Harry said during the week I believe Hoilett will play in the "hole" behind Austin. Should give us better service with Barton on the right side too, like he did at the start of the season.
So hoping my pusillanimous one-nil prediction will be shown up by a hatful of Rangers goals
We'll soon find out mate.
Maybe someone there could confirm the formation when they start?
It's just that I don't like Hoilett on the wing. I find him very little effective in that role, often running himself into blind alleys, much like SWP.
