Match Preview;
Our visitors on Saturday, Wrexham, have drawn one, lost one and won three in their last five...but the wins were at the start of the year, so they haven't won in their last two league games...plus they drew 3-3 with Nottingham Forest in the cup. Their top scorer is Kieffer Moore, with ten goals so far, followed by Josh Windass with 7. Their manager, Phil Parkinson, has managed three consecutive promotions on the trot, and their fans will be eager to continue the roller coaster ride, and get to the Premier League...where, as we know all too well...rich, famous owners is often not enough.

As for us, I confess I sat and watched last night, against Oxford, but I was happy to half an eye on the game and get some work done at the same time...it was a really dull watch, and just so negative. We can moan about Kone and other strikers not getting enough goals, but he really didn't have much to work with other than long balls that he'd have to win against at least two defenders, then beat those defenders and get a shot away...that is asking a lot for any striker. It did annoy me that we were so negative though, and I'd be interested to see how many touches Walsh had compared to any normal keeper, because the ball seemed to end back at his feet all too often. I'd like to see us at least have a go on Saturday, set up to win and put them under pressure, instead of just turn backwards.

Team news and manager comments to go up asap, enjoy if you'll be at HQ, and as always...

...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

According to TFL there will be no Hammersmith and City Line on Saturday and no Cirlce line from Hammersmith. So factor in for your travel plans happy campers.

Cheers for that mate, I was going to park this side of Hammersmith Bridge and walk over the bridge and get the train to the Bush.
 
Hope we can send the Hollywood Handouts home with a Golden Raspberry Award for their worst performance of their season.

The QPR nominees for goal scorers are ….

  • Paul Smyth.
  • Nicolas Madsen.
  • Amadou Salif Mbengue.
  • Koki Saito.
Footnote - Nominees may not be listed in today’s team, at time of writing.

No trains from Brighton for the 723rd weekend in a row because we aren’t a serious country so I’m driving up. Assume it’s still free to park the other side of the Uxbridge Road if you’re a bit away from it.

I enjoyed the Disney series.

Karma really suggests we should lose. They were incredibly lovely and hospitable at the away game, in town and at the ground and we were rather mean. No James McClean this time :(
 
Cold but dry weather in Shebu forecast today. Ideal football weather. Maybe the pitch has some grass on it now and we can’t complain too and we can attempt the occasional pass.
 
Will we see Edwards today? Both Dunne & Cook have been outstanding of late, but to pay alleged 4.5m & leave him on the bench again would be odd

We may need Dunne and Cook against Moore and Smith. I recall Edwards having a bad game for Southampton against them. I wouldn't mind him in a 3 at the back or in midfield for this game.
