Match Preview;
In the thirty plus years I've been supporting QPR, it is rare that we go into a new season with this much excitement around the club. Martí Cifuentes has been a breath of fresh air since arriving, and his record of 13 wins, 9 draws and 11 losses turned the tide last year, and kept us up. The summer has seen a few departures, most notably Chris Willock and Sinclair Armstrong. That said, Willock didn't look interested at all towards the end of his time with us, and the debate about Armstrong will go on, but he was never a prolific goal scorer. Their departures paved the way for Zan Celar's arrival...a striker with a proven goal scoring record in the Swiss Premier League, 40 goals in 95 league appearances over the last three seasons. If Cifuentes can get them to gel, and give Celar the service he needs, this could be a very exciting season, or at least not as nerve racking as last season.
That said, and I know this is getting ahead of myself, I would not be disappointed with a relatively stable season, and a top ten finish, maybe sneaking into the playoffs, but not promotion...yet. We've gone up in the past, and not been ready, and I'd far rather Cifuentes took a season or two to build a squad strong enough to go up, and stay up, instead of pop up for a year or two maximum.
As for our opponents, they are going into their fourth season in the second tier, since relegation in the 2020/21 season. In the seasons since relegation, they've finished 10th, 9th then 5th last year, losing to Southampton in the playoffs. Their manager, Carlos Corberán, will be eager to get them back in the Premiership and prove his abilities, having failed to get Huddersfield back to the Premiership during his two seasons there.
Really looking forward to this one, and falls nicely with the start of the holidays, so can't wait to be back in the upper loft, to see the Queens Park Rangers!
