Match Preview;
Having lost 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5, Boro find themselves occupying the highest relegation position, in 22nd, and 2 points off 21st. The problem is obvious, they've scored 11 all season, the least in the division by 2 goals. They've only let in 19 though, so 9 less than us. All points towards two teams who could easily just cancel each other out, but I'm hoping our attacking force will be too much for them, and we'll score a few with no reply. If any Boro fan reads this, yes, I know I am bias...I'm a football fan.

I'll add team news when it is on the official, enjoy those who'll make it to HQ, and...

...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

The fake news click bait media claim they have 9 out injured/sick/suspended, and have recalled Darlington's top striker back from loan 3 days before their FA Cup tie.
 
My two boys (young men) are going the match.

For one it is only his 2nd match LR (saw the 3-2 win against Brentford last season) and the other it is his first visit. So I am hoping for an entertaining match with goals and 3 points to the R’s!!!

Is anyone brave enough to try to predict the team.

I guess we will want to play our two main strikers of Hugill and Wells, so it would be a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 formation.

I would guess 3-5-2, however with this formation we played porky
away at Leeds.

So I wonder what tactics Mark Warburton tactics will deploy? I anticipate that they will be quite high energy and offensive.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Barbet out until after the international break
BFG is 50:50

I cannot even predict our back 3/4/5

Kelly
Rangel, Cameron/Hall/Wallace Manning
Eze, Ball, Chair
Hugill, Wells

OR

Kelly
Rangel, Hall, Wallace Manning
Eze, Ball, Chair, BOS
Hugill, Wells

I like the look of the 2nd better...but we do seem to play better with 3 at the back

Beth,

I agree with you.

On paper, I prefer the 4-4-2 formation. Although I would be happier if Eze played more centrally with Chair.

But in reality, we do seem more effective with a central back three.

We could have a great team in 4-2-3-1, but it means playing only one forward.

I will be interested to see what MW chose at 14::00 tomorrow.
 
Ok just putting this out there....

They've only won twice all season, they haven't scored in 4 games, they've a huge injury list....what could possibly go wrong?

Hope we make a fast start and blow them away........

C'mon u R's...

They won't be a pushover but with such an injury list we should have too much for them, still can't see a clean sheet though...

Brilliant exactly the sort of record we like to help other teams rectify.

They don’t have a bad team on paper at all but confidence is about as low as it can be and the manager is lucky to still be there. If we can’t beat this lot I’ll be very disappointed, especially as I secured some lovely seats at the front of the Upper Loft to witness it.

Nice interview with Dave Thomas on Radio 4 Today programme, and the tale of how his Dad took him to football matches as a youngster in the 1950's in the sidecar of his motorbike, and his mum used to give Dave a hot water bottle for the journey.

He was a legend in a legendary QPR team - Enjoy your day back at QPR today, Dave!

It is worth listening to the Dave Thomas interview on the QPR Podcast.

A genuine tear jerker!
