    Match Preview:

    QPR are full of confidence heading into this weekend’s game against Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium.

    Before the international break, the R’s came from behind to beat rivals Brentford 3-2, lifting Steve McClaren’s side up into 10th place.

    Our opponents Stoke have not quite enjoyed the start to the season that many were expecting. The Potters ended their 10-year stint in the Premier League last term but many predicted they will bounce straight back up.

    The appointment of Gary Rowett in the summer only reaffirmed the belief that Stoke would be competing at the top of the table this campaign but the side based in Staffordshire find themselves in 14th place after 17 Championship games.

    Things looked far bleaker for the Potters at the end of September but their form has picked up throughout the last two months with creditable draws against Middlesbrough and Sheffield United backed up by impressive victories over Norwich and Bristol City.

    Rowett’s side have also tightened up defensively keeping three clean sheets in their last three games.

    The R’s have had the better of Stoke in head to head encounters but the Potters were victorious in our last match – winning 3-1 in a Premier League contest.

    QPR’s on-loan midfielder Geoff Cameron will be ineligible for this fixture.
    COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

    I remember well being at Stoke under Colin when we won 3-2 in November during our 1st season back in the PL. The win took us to 9th. Then the home game very late the same season I think when we won with a late Cisse winner, which went a long way to keeping us up.

    Don't think this game will be shown on the Officials live stream as it is on TV internationally apparently.

    I was there when Gallen scored 1-0 and it kicked off as we walked out. I was also there when they tried to beat up our players on the pitch. Funny club with weird fans.

    Yes, that was the last home game of that season. Crouchie missed a good chance late on which would have practically doomed us.
    I seem to recall Bolton were winning before Cisse scored (at West Brom?) then there was a real turnaround with our goal and a West Brom one within minutes of each other.

    Stoke's official say they are showing it outside the UK and Ireland. If they are it seems strange ours are not.

    That last minute Cisse goal was one of the more insane goal celebrations that I've been a part of.

    If you've got an Android box, load Mobdro onto it - get it here..... https://www.mobdro.sc/ as you won't find it on Google Play - you'll get BEIN Sports on that. This also works on Android tablets and phones.

    You can also use the inbuilt browser and set http://www.hesgoal.com/ as a bookmark - most matches that are being broadcast are on there - click the link, close the advert in the centre of the screen and you should have a good stream - I'll update you on the day if you have any issues!

    Is Cameron allowed to play in this match? As he's on loan I suspect not.

    Here's an excellent interview with Cameron by the QPR Podcast team, it starts at about 17:45 ...

    Listened to that last week, he comes across really well, very intelligent guy, and dropping hints that he won't be returning to Stoke......

    He's fallen in love with the Rangers and wants to be a Ranger monkey. (He probably likes being based in London too.)
