Match Preview;
Middlesbrough sit just outside the playoffs, in 7th place, but they are joint on 45 points with 6th place West Brom. They've won four and lost one of their last five league games, and in their last outing they knocked Man Utd out of the FA Cup on penalties, at Old Traffford. They have a game in hand on West Brom, and two games in hand on 5th place Huddersfield Town, and so they'll know that a win or two will move them well into the playoff mix. Their top scorers are Andraz Sporar and Matt Crooks, both with 7 goals.

As for us, after our tactical exit from the FA cup, we can now focus on the league, and on finishing as high as we possibly can. Injury and fatigue is beginning to have an affect on the squad...and it'll be good to have Dieng and Kakay back asap. Dykes continues as our leading scorer, with 9 goals, with Willock, Austin and Chair all tied in second with 6 goals. A win, and depending on other results we could finish the evening second with at least a game in hand on the two clubs just behind us.

I'll add team news/manager comments when on the official, enjoy those who'll make it, and as always...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

Team News
QPR: Jordan Archer will miss out for the R’s, while Sam McCallum is edging closer to a return. Sam Field, Yoann Barbet and Chris Willock are all likely to be involved.

Middlesbrough: Riley McGree is looking for a return, James Lea Siliki will continue to miss out.

Pre-match Talk
Mark Warburton (QPR manager): “We’ve seen teams around us drop points – but what we have to do is focus on QPR, about our performances game by game.

“We have six games in 18 days and it is a ridiculously-demanding schedule which most teams will face. But it’s about one game at a time, as is the old rhetoric, and the first one is Middlesbrough.”

Chris Wilder (Middlesbrough manager): “We are up against a really good side and a manager in Mark Warburton who has done fantastically well, they have had some good results, a strong squad and it’s always a tough place to get a result.”

Some quality here from 1976...

Absolutely great to see some of the old footage, simply brilliant to watch.
Stan played a number of lovely touches onto others.
Dave Thomas had a lovely double shot and was very unlucky not the score.
Love watching Gerry Francis add his two bobs worth.
Always good to see the old brigade in action.

Thanks for posting, Sooper.
 
I don’t remember John O’Rourke, let alone him scoring 12 goals for us, and I had an ST for 2 of the seasons he was with us.

Ageing is a terrible thing. But at least I get to hide my own Easter eggs. And I meet new people every day, some of them actually live in my house.


Pardon?

I like getting up to go into another room, forgetting why I’m there and going off somewhere else, it’s my own personal magical mystery tour and I don’t even have too leave the house, I am however not quite at the stage were I pee in the kitchen sink and put my dirty plates down the toilet, although I did once pee all over Mrs Turkish’s shoes in the cupboard but I blame the alcohol for that <whistle> <whistle> <yikes><yikes>

Yeah, some of Stan's passes were sublime, we were so blessed to have him...
 
Can you watch red button games on Now tv? I’ve ditched Sky but I still watch Sky Sports on Now tv.

I'm the wrong person to ask on tech stuff, but a quick google search suggests you can on selective devices like X box. I'm sure there will be other posters much more knowledgeable than me.

We really need to capitalize on the Blackburn loss. How will Bournemouth react after their cup exit. Three points is a must if we are serious about promotion.

It will be a tough game.

Three points would be great, but a draw would also not be a bad results..
