QPR Pre Match

[Mr Weller 2]

If we can get beaten by Harlow Town we can get beaten by near bottom of the championship table QPR. Obviously, the odds are heavily in our favour, but for everyone’s sake let’s keep our heads and not get ahead of ourselves. 
 

If the team keep this up we’d effectively be promoted by the transfer window which would encourage ambitious talent to sign for us. Let’s not spoil it by losing our focus,

As Maresca said after the Hull defeat this is real not a game played on a PlayStation 😊

This will be our first draw . They will bring on a 17 year old wunderkind who will build a career based on his heroics against Vesty and Wout ( who let’s face it can’t really defend) 

To be fair Sinclair Armstrong has the physique and unpredictability that could catch them pair out.

From what little I've seen of QPR this year, they've actually been unlucky in a lot of games. Another one of those scrappy, tenacious Rotherham-type clubs that actually have a bit of quality buried somewhere but aren't showing it often enough. Not sure if that's down to Ainsworth's dad-rock style of management or them being absolutely skint and barely able to string a squad together.

Regardless, I feel like today's going to be a tougher game than either us or them realise. Their fans have completely given up and are expecting to be relegated in October, so any hint of a performance against the runaway leaders will get their tails up. It would be bloody typical for us to take the form book and shove it up our own arse.

London team, near bottom of league, Leicester City visiting team.  

Can see us reverting to form, well done QPR for giving us a shock!  

[Crinklyfox]

Winning is a habit.  Losing is a habit.  We have better quality players and a better manager.  Our team will expect to win even if we go a goal down.  QPR may fear to lose even if they go a goal up.

 

The current regime isn't working for them and they need a change pretty urgently.  They've been a big team before and have the potential to be so again.  I first saw them at Filbert Street when they had Rodney Marsh and Stan Bowles in the side and they were a force to be reckoned with.  

 

Provided we turn up, and I can't see Enzo putting out a side that wouldn't, we have a great chance.  And if we win and that promotes changes within QPR then both sides will benefit.

Surely winks or kdh get rested if not both

Both on 4 yellows and can't afford to have either of them missing vs leeds

Who plays if he rests both with Ndidi already out?

[coolhandfox]

These 3 point are worth no less then the Leeds 3 points.

 

It's not who we get the points off, it's how many we get.

 

To many focusing on the Leeds game, I'd understand if they were 3 points behind not 14......

Then onto the ground/area via tube.

 

(Might have closed down 20+ years ago)

Was a quid a go when I last went!

 

I think it's closed down now, shame was a mecca for all sports fans. Great times!

[Corky]

Just win the game, no need for statement victories or anything. Take the points and move on.

The game against Leeds is worth more as it directly affects the points total of our closest competition for automatic promotion. If we lose against leeds then they gain 3 points on us, if we lose against QPR leeds could still draw or lose and it wont have made much of a difference in terms of promotion.

Maresca said yesterday he won’t rest players for that reason.

Agree with this. The worst thing we could do is rotate by not respecting the opposition. That way we could find ourselves dropping in both games. I expect rotation because the players need it and Enzo has a rotation policy, but i don't think the number of yellows will dictate the full lineup.

The only thing that matters is our final point total, our start has put us in control.

 

We could put our focus on the Leeds game, lose the QPR game and still lose the Leeds game.

 

The next game is alway the most important one.

If it’s 6 more games before the reset, then what is the benefit of being worried or resting playing for that reason. It will either happen or not happen. If a player is rested because of fears of a suspension, then that is just a self inflicted suspension.

Our season won't be defined by how we perform in a handful of head to head games against our closest rivals. It will be defined by how much we can relentlessly churn out good results over 46 games. If we're consistent enough those formerly mentioned games will prove irrelevant. 

 

3 points please ... and move on to the next game. 

[Stevosevic]

2-0 win.

Vesty has found his level I’m afraid. Championship football with no pressure on the ball.

This. We just need to get to 90 points as soon as possible. 

[Nolucklcfc]

Think this will be tougher than some think. They’ve got nothing to lose and will raise their game.

He was certainly a force to be reckoned with gun in hand, still pissed up from the night before, during the shooting contest on Superstars.

Can see it being 0-0 at half time and people predicting a landslide being a little panicked.

 

Will be one of those 2-0 wins where we break them down eventually.

We usually concede within the first 5 minutes. There really isn’t much to break down, either. Three consecutive passes normally does it.

 

Exhibit number one, M’Lord;

 

 

No further comment required.

Personally I think that their players are going to be so dejected and almost have conceded defeat before we kick off. Also could be the final game for Ainsworth. At least I hope that is going to be the case.

[Pliskin]

Without sounding big headed, we really should be winning this. Losing it would be entirely our own fault…. They’re in absolutely dire form and we should be competent enough to get a win, even if it is a scrappy one.
