QPR are looking to pick up their first points of the season this weekend at the Hawthorns when facing West Bromwich Albion.

It has been three and a half years since the R’s last trip to the Hawthorns in what was a memorable 4-1 victory.

That was, of course, a Premier League game but the Baggies now find themselves playing in the second tier of English football for the first time since 2010 following their relegation.

Now led by their former centre-back Darren Moore, the side from the West Midlands have had a mixed start to the campaign winning one, drawing one and losing one, whilst also progressing to Round Two of the Carabao Cup.

The R’s will come up against a former face on Saturday with winger Matty Phillips now a key player for the Baggies.

After a comfortable victory over Peterborough in mid-week attention now switches to the Championship, and with three games in the next seven days, things can change very quickly in this division.

The R’s were unlucky to get nothing against Sheffield United last week so will hope for a somewhat change in fortune against, on paper, a strong looking West Brom team.

Previous classic meeting

WBA 1-4 QPR – April 2015​
QPR convincingly beat West Brom to record only their second Premier League away win of the season and move within a point of safety.

Chilean forward Eduardo Vargas struck from long range before Charlie Austin headed a 16th league goal of the season and Bobby Zamora's superb lob made it 3-0.

Victor Anichebe headed a goal back for West Brom, who had Youssouf Mulumbu sent off for an elbow on Joey Barton.

But Barton wrapped up victory from close range after a swift counter-attack to give Chris Ramsey’s side a memorable win.

Manager Quotes

Steve McClaren: “West Brom are full of Premier League pedigree and it is a big test for us. They’ve more or less kept their squad together. They’ve added Dwight Gayle, a proven scorer in the Championship. It will be very tough.”

Darren Moore: “Because we’re in the Championship, we’re a bigger scalp for a lot of people, I’m just focusing on the personnel here. Every single game has massive hurdles to deal with and we can only handle them one at a time. That’s the best way to go about it really. I can’t influence what people think outside the club, I just focus on the strength we have got to try to win football matches.”

Dave's on holiday so I've done the matchday thread for this game. He returns in time for the Birmingham game, so if anyone else wants to have a go at a matchday thread for the Bristol City, Wigan and Bristol Rovers ( Cup ) games then please let me know on this thread.
 
Typical am in London today and the R's are away......

Would take a point if offered....

Like that side 999's and obz's goal should have won goal of the season as much for the surprise element and wonderful technique

Up the R's

It will be a tough match and now I would willingly take a point.

Three would be a great result.

However, should we lose, I will avoid the message boards as I envisage a minor melt-down.

COYR’s!
 
Why would Ingram be dropped after 2 games? He was given the no.1 shirt and I don't think he's been culpable for any goals concede has he?
 
Dwight Gayle, *hit. Didn't know they got him on loan. His bound to score, good player in this division.
 
2 questions, compadres...

Is there a stream on QPR+ today and... is there a test video somewhere on the QPR site to see if your computer is even compatible (I'm at work)?
