Preview;
Millwall head to the Kiyan Prince Foundation stadium having won three of their last four games, a run which leaves them only two points from a playoff place. They still have to play us and Huddersfield, and so surely they'll be hoping to pick up six points and sneak into the playoffs, possibly at the expense of Cardiff . Their top scorer this year is, yep, you guessed it...Matt Smith with thirteen goals so far. Gary Rowett has got together a decent side for Millwall, no particular superstars jump out at me, but they have only lost 11 times this season and so will surely come and give us a good game.

Always viewed Millwall as a club I wasn't fond of, mainly due to their reputation for being a bunch of thugs, but I am still pleased to see them doing well for some reason, and would love to see a Millwall vs Brentford tie in the playoffs, with the winner going on to lose in the final to Forest...so maybe I am not that pleased to see them doing well.

Given how we have performed since the restart, I'm just going to hope we don't get hammered, and that we manage to end the season showing some grit and fight, even with nothing to play for, other than the possibility of moving up a few places.

Team news
QPR: Charlie Owens (knee), Jordan Hugill (hamstring), Lee Wallace (hamstring)

Millwall: Murray Wallace (glute), Mahlon Romeo (groin), Aiden O'Brien (doubt)

Pre-match words
QPR manager Mark Warburton: “Millwall have some very good football players; people like Jed Wallace and Ryan Woods, who can move the ball well. They have physicality and they have a very strong defensive record. They’re a good team and we have absolute respect for Gary [Rowett] and his players. We have to impose ourselves upon them once the game kicks off.”

Millwall manager Gary Rowett: “If I look back 30 games ago, for me to say we’d be in this position now then I’d be lying. It is a massive testament to the players and staff behind the scenes – how hard everyone has worked. It’s an exciting end.”

Those who still have the energy and motivation to watch, enjoy, and as always...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!

 

Wouldn't it be just fantastic to stop them getting into the play offs

 

Crumbs! These games are coming thick and fast.It is difficult to keep up to date with them.

Time for a home win against our "friendly" neighbours from the other side of town?

 

I quite like Millwall and it would be great fun if they got to the prem.

 

Somehow can't see them enticing the prawn sandwich brigade to pop along and support them though if they got there!

 

Probably not, but that’s part of the charm I think.

Plus they’d smash up Stamford Bridge.

 

It’d be fun to see someone try to walk into the (new) den with a half and half scarf

 

More like the knuckle sandwich brigade!!

 

Would be Fingy....but they have something to play for...and Matt Smith has something to prove.
We are not interested

Same against WBA next week... No more points for us this season

But wouldn't it be wonderful for us to beat WBA on the last day and let Brentford squeeze into the automatics? Got to be worth a flutter!

 

Just need a repeat of the goal that Zamora scored at The Hawthorns a few seasons ago

 

Huddersfield have just blown the automatic promotion race wide open!

 

So with Bos not starting today it would be madness to start Clark now, we have to look at what our younger players can do as Clark won’t be here next season I hope

 

If the sale of BOS is the way we are going we won't have anybody of mid Championship level standard next season.

 

Something along the lines off

Lumley
Kane Masterson Barbet Manning
Ball Cameron
Shopido Eze Chair
Hugill/Oteh

Up the R's

 

For me:

Kakay instead of Kane, Wallace instead of Manning if fit, BOS instead of Shodipo, he can't have gone yet, and Amos for Chair, in the middle of the 3 pressing, with Eze left side but free role.

 

No point playing him. What’s he going to achieve? A wave to the fans?

 

Today....I think anyone who is still fit and still at the club will do

Lumley
Kakay Masterson Barbet Manning
Ball Cameron
Shopido Amos, Eze
Oteh

Bench
Kelly, Wallace, Bettache, Chair, Gubbins, Clarke.


I do not think Hugill or the Danish CF are fit....I am not sure we have anyone else now...other than the 3rd string goalie
