Our biggest game of the season so far, without a doubt. For QPR, Park Ji-Sung and Andy Johnson are out injured, Stephane M'Bia is suspended and Ryan Nelson and Bobby Zamora are major doubts. However, Fabio, Kieron Dyer and Hogan Ephraim are available. For Saints, it is unlikely that Frazer will feature as he didn't play in the U21 game last night. Other than that I think it's a matter of praying that none of our players get injured on international duty! The referee is Mike Dean. Personally I'm pleased with that - experienced ref who won't let the atmosphere and the occasion get to him. Anyone going to QPR on Saturday, join me in getting behind the side and hopefully celebrate a massive win. For anyone traveling by public transport the nearest tube stations are: White City (Central line), Wood Lane (Hammersmith and City line), Shepherd's Bush Market (Hammersmith and City line) and Shepherd's Bush (Central line). After the match, I would use the latter two. They are 10-15 minute walks away but the closer ones will be a complete nightmare.
As was said Queens Park Rangers v Southampton (3pm) Referee: M Dean Assistants: J Collin, J Brooks Fourth Official: L Mason Hope they keep to that this week, last weeks late change cost us the game in my opinion.
Hoping we set up the same way with the same XI. Only thing I wouldn't mind would be Clyne moving to left back and Richardson right back. Need to use Rodriguez and/or Mayuka as well this time they could make an impact from bench
Anyone travelling by tube keep an eye on Transport For London website for works, apparently there are some closures on Circle, District & Hammersmith/City Line over the weekend.
I'll go for a 2-1 win for us assuming we play the same tactics. First time I've backed us to win or even pick up a point away from home all season so it better happen!!
Piece in the Mail about how the pressure is on Hughes to win this. They point out that he has was once considered a manager for the future, but that he hasn't lived up to the billing. Suggests he will find another job harder to find than will Adkins (no argument there). Article also appeared to say that Redknapp is struggling to find another job because he is an awkward tit...closer examination revealed that they said he was a awkward fit (shame, I preferred the former).
Looking forward to this game. No mistakes at the back and a bit of luck will see us through. Think we will score twice but can we keep a clean sheet or concede less than two-that is the question??
To be fair I only asked why the Swansea match thread was still stickied. No one has posted on it for a while and seems strange to keep it stickied.
Good point. Thought this thread would take off with the Rangers fans joining in. They have quite a strong Board.
Can we have a must win game this early. I think so. We have bought so much pressure on ourselves that anything but a win will be seen as failure. It's time for Adkins to show us how good he is. Qpr have been poor all season as have we. Which struggling manager will get the best out of his players on Saturday. Fight to the death maybe not fight for their jobs could well be.
