Anyone else feeling just a little apprehensive about this fixture? I hope it's only me and not indicative of the rest of the crowd today. At the West Brom game, it would have been no disgrace to bow out, but having seen Villa get tonked, and the effect on their morale, today is a must win game. COYRs!!!!! EDIT: Team on OP for convenience for those who need to check it easily. Green; Fabio, Ferdinand, Ben Haim, Traore; Mackie, Fairlin, Granero, Park; Campbell, Bothroyd Subs: Murphy, Derry, Hill, Onuoha, Ephraim, Zamora, Mbia
MK played some decent stuff in the two games last season, it certainly won't be easy and be interesting to see who Harry gives a run-out to today. I think any win would be welcome...
What you wish for and what you get with QPR has always been a bit of a box of chocolates (to coin a phrase), however for me Harry is old-school and you know he doesn't like to lose games like any true footballer shouldn't either. MK Dons are decent enough but we are at home, there should be a reasonable crowd for the occasion and the players should really want to continue this unbeaten run. I am not going to mention the 'H' word but things have settled down within the team and I think we will get a comfortable win, we are not as bad as Villa anymore IMO thanks to Harry.
It's all good, mate .............. With Villa succumbing to Milwall we should be fine, as long as the players are switched on, we should win, say ............ 3-1.
I can see this being a difficult game. I think Harry will be more concerned about retaining our place in the PL than the FA Cup and will field a 'second' team. It would be great to win, but not if we pick up injuries that will cost us points in the league. It is also freezing and whilst I will be there (upper loft NU), I fear that the crowd may not be as vocal as we could be. U Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrssss
Leaving soon so I hope there's a decent crowd. I heard MK have sold 3k so I hope they don't out-sing us all game. Anyone any idea on ticket sales?
No Problem I am going today so if required can bring you all up to date. I may even do a match reportage
Pretty much opposite me in the Ellerslie then. Give me a mad wave! I looked on the web site and there are still plenty of tickets, although it doesn't look too shabby. I predict around 15k. Enjoy the game Dave. I'm off.
I feel quite relaxed. We are a different team under Harry. We will coast to a win by at least 2 goals.
Ok there are only single seats left good trip i only live 5 miles from ground so i am staying warm as long as i can
I posted this in a separate thread just in case people couldn't find it in here but there is a BBC London RADIO commentary link for today's game: BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football-21133837. It's also being broadcast on BBC Three Counties Radio, but that'll be MK Dons biased commentary.
Thanks DT. Please keep those of us who cannot justify to their nearest and dearest going today, when they are deserting the family home on Tuesday night! I have a phobia about the FA cup...last two seasons we have lost Mackie and then Ale to serious injury in Jan Cup matches (admittedly they were 3rd round matches)....do not want another player to go the same way
