TEAM NEWS
Defender James Perch returns for Queens Park Rangers after completing a one-match suspension.

Striker Charlie Austin and forward Jamie Mackie are both still out with hamstring injuries.

MK Dons boss Karl Robinson still has a long injury list but a number of his players are now making good progress.

Darren Potter (knee) is close to a return but Dean Bowditch (ankle), Mark Randall (knee) and Matthew Upson (calf), remain out of contention.

MATCH FACTS

• Rangers' only previous win against MK Dons came in the FA Cup in 2011/12 via a replay.
• MK Dons got their revenge the following January, in a surprise 4-2 win for the then League One side over Premier League opponents.
• QPR kept just their second clean sheet of the season in midweek, 0-0 against Sheffield Wednesday. They had not kept successive clean sheets in the league since December 2013.
• The Dons are winless in five league away games (D2 L3), scoring just twice in that run.
• QPR's games have produced a league-high 41 goals this season. Indeed no team has scored (19) or conceded (22) more goals than the Hoops.
• MK Dons are the only side yet to score from outside the box in the Championship this season. Green should be happy to oblige, expect a long range screamer today.

No Sandro, must be injured again. So we have to do with Henry, yippie!


MK Dons FC ‏@MKDonsFC
STARTING XI: Martin; Spence, McFadzean, Kay, Lewington (c); Poyet, Forster-Caskey; Hall, Reeves, Murphy; Church. #QPRvMKD

 

Looks like Ramsey's doing his best to get an early pay off

 

Sandra injured as the Official.

 

Hope the Swindon rumour re Ramsey is true after that team!!

 

The 'Beast' injured again apparently. What is that guy made of?

Henry in and no Fer

 

F%&KING HENRY!!!!!!! Mr I can kill any forward momentum in a nanosecond.

 

I predicted 4-3 now with the negative tactics going for a 1-1 and goodbye Chris

 

If Tosser is taking the corners, let see if he can actually beat the first man this time. Truly uninspired.

 

I'm betting that the defence gets beaten at some point cos the they won't trust Henry and be so busy trying to make sure they cover him that they get through somewhere else.

 

Love it if Henry scored the winner

 

More chance of it being an OG and the winner for MK Dons.

 

If he does, it will be OG

 

great minds think alike

 

I put 3-1.....

now I've seen the team........
ffs lol

 

I recall the Watford fan saying his set pieces were excellent, and I thought "we've needed some one like that for the last three years". Then on Tuesday the first four didn't go past the first defender and I though FFS...

 

Wow Ramsay isn't making it easy for himself. You have to wonder what Ali Faurlin and Doughty have done to not get a look in at all now. We must score first today otherwise it's going to be beyond toxic.

 

Fer out and Henry back in......beggars belief.....

 

There's more chance of my crumbling spine magically getting better and me getting called up for the Kiwi's this afternoon. I hope he proves me wrong but lets say I won't be holding my breath.

 

Tozer & Henry REALLY RAMSEY !!!!!!! glad I didnt make the effort to go today.

 

I digress. WTF? Fulham 2 down, then score 3 in 6 minutes!
