Match preview;
So here we are, the final game of the season. Luton's 1-1 draw with Rotherham on Tuesday night means they need to beat us by 5 or more to move from 12th, and overtake us in 9th. They can't drop down as their is 4 point gap to 13th place Preston. Our only motivation going into this game is that a win could take us above Cardiff, but Cardiff are playing Rotherham in the last game, who need a win to stand any chance of staying up.
Thought I'd get the thread up early though to give people time to discuss general feelings about the season, and how it has gone. No doubting that our form in the second half of the season has been impressive, and if it could be continued into next year, pushing for the playoffs is a realistic expectation.
Comparing with the past few years, on points totals (2019/20 = 58 - 13th, 2018/19 = 51 - 19th, 2017/18 = 56 - 16th, 2016/17 = 52 - 18th, 2015/16 = 60 - 12th), and looking at where we are currently 65 points and 9th for me it is pretty clear that progress has been made. To be realistic though, the gap from 6th to 7th is currently 8 points, so the top 6 are a fair way ahead of the rest. We'll need to take a big step forward next year to challenge for playoffs, but it is encouraging to see that we are heading in the right direction.
Team news
QPR: Luke Amos and Charlie Owens are side lined with long-term knee injuries, whilst Geoff Cameron will be looking to sign off his time with QPR this weekend.
Pre-match talk
QPR manager Mark Warburton: “We are keen to hunt down every singly point, we have a chance to finish 8th, we must meet the challenge of a tough Luton team and hopefully round up what has been a very good season."
As always, enjoy those who are watching and...
...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!
