They have drawn four, and lost one of their last five, that loss was against Cardiff, and their only other loss this year was against league leaders Leicester City. They have only won one game though, a 3-0 home win against Boro on August 12th. Their main threat is pretty obvious for all to see, with their top scorer, Matt Godden, on six goals so far this season...no one else in their team has scored more than one. As for us, good to see Reggie Cannon sign this week. From what has been said about him, he could offer on the right, what Paal offers on the left...a good attacking option, moving forward from the defence and going ahead of the midfield. If nothing else, he'll be another player to cover when others are injured/need a break. We've still only got two wins this year, with one of those wins also coming against Boro...and so both these teams will be desperate for all three points. Our top scorers are Paal and Colback, with two each, and surely as a striker that has got to hurt. Surely Dykes, Armstrong and Willock will be looking to get on the score sheet and change that stat...so a striker is our top scorer, not a defensive midfielder or a left wing back! Team news and manager comments; From the official site; "We were really pleased with the performance at Birmingham, it gave us a good platform heading into another tough run of games. "We're also pleased that injuries are at a minimum. The boys have got fitter with every game and we're finishing games strongly now. "We probably should be a couple of points higher with things that have gone against us, but we'll get those points back. "My biggest headache is team selection now. We've no injuries and that's testament to the performance team. "We've got good players and it's a nice problem to have. Everyone is available - including Jimmy Dunne if there's a need for him this weekend. "He won't start the game, but he could be among it. He might well play for the Development Squad next week." ...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!
Another Championship newbie gets QPR Cov - Referee - Queens Park Rangers News | Loft For Words (fansnetwork.co.uk)
Cheers Dave. Train strike day. I’ll probably drive down and watch without anaesthetic. Scary. I’m quite keen for us to win this one. But I won’t let it get me down if we don’t.
Went to the away game last season and saw us get thumped 3 nil. They're still a good team despite losing Gyökores. Hope we can win this one. Home form must improve.
