What do you think, should we leave the same players in the starting 11 or give some rest for the more fatigued and older players like Nelsen, Derry and Hill. I really don't care about the cup, what are your thoughts? EDIT: Rs team today. #QPR XI: Cesar; Dyer, Nelsen, Hill, Ben Haim; Mackie, Park, Granero, Mbia, Taarabt; Campbell #QPRvWBA #QPR Subs: Green, Derry, Ferdinand, Cisse, Wright-Phillips, Faurlin, Bothroyd #QPRvWBA
Play a weakened team, give the reserves a run around against a good side. Rest the others, can't risk any injuries either. Maybe play the new signings if their are any by then?
Tricky one. Strongest team to try and get a win and build momentum or rest key players and give guys on the fringe a chance?
"22m DJ Campbell ‏@RealDJCampbell Delighted 4 @swp29 Go on My sonnnnnnnnn!!! Urrrrrrrrrrrrssssss " I'm hoping everything's been ironed out & Harry's said he definitely wants him
If there are less than 13,000 there today, I think we can officially pronounce the FA Cup dead. There may be a bounce from the Chelsea win I suppose. For me and perhaps a few other old timers will be very sad indeed, but the competition has been ruined by the Prem. I did like Wengers comment about it only being his 4th priority after CL, PL, and CL qualification. After 7 years without a trophy I bet most Gooners aren't that fussy. Nelsen, Hill, Adel, Mackie all need a rest today, perhaps M'bia too.
Is hogan still out with a dodgy hamstring? Think we'll see JSP get some match time and would be very suprised if DJ doesn't start
There we go. Thread for those of us who can't get to LR today. Hoping for a win to start a positive run - but knowing our luck... Reckon DJ will get on at some stage. Wonder if he can finally show us what he can really do for us?
It seems West Brom have quite a few players out and won't be near full strength so there is the opportunity for us to take advantage. I think Harry would welcome a cup run if it boosted the confidence of the players and not losing is a good habit to gain. We might get a double-whammy today if the players Harry hasn't seen put in a good shift and we see off the Baggies as well...

Fantastic team! Taking the cup seriously, unlike Newcastle, also takes the pressures of the PL off their shoulders. Hopefully Hastings at home in the next round.
