Match Preview to follow.

 

I’d never have said Perch played 74 games for us

 

Honestly can’t remember Richard Edghill either

 

But then I was tooooo busyyy watching Giiiinnnoooooo

 

He didn’t, he turned up 74 times played 6

 

Shall I or not?

 

Do it!

 

No, don’t.

I’m no help am I?

 

I don't know whether to reply or not.

 

One to remember was the 2005 0-0 away when Holloway played a team of kids and reserves (including Adam Miller and Shabazz Baidooooooooo) and didn’t even see the match as he was away scouting.

 

I’ve been to Wigan three times and seen a grand total of two goals, both scored by Franco Di Santo.

 

Given I'll be there on Saturday, please stay at home

 

That’s a long old trip from Essex. Fair play.

I absolutely cannot be arsed.

 

Essex Hertfordshire

 

Anyone know what parking is like up there please?

 

Car park at the ground for away supporters - used it before and it's never full. Think it costs about £5
Don't park in the retail park next to the ground unless you want to risk a parking ticket

 

Bollocks, farmer-boy. Essex rules!

 

Thank you.

 

II presume that Luongo will immediately return to the first team. Other than that, I don’t expect any team changes.

I hope that the match will be streamed on QPR+. I am looking forward to seeing the match and am quietly hoping for a good performance and positive result.

 

As we’ve loaned out our entire bench, **** knows who we have to fill those spots.
