Match Preview;
Looking at both teams last six games, QPR won 3, then drew 1, and have lost the last 2, whereas Bristol City lost 3, then won 2, then won their last game. This leaves Bristol City 12th, so 5 places and 5 points above us. Their top scorer is Famara Diédhiou, on 10 goals, closely followed by Nahki Wells, with 9 goals. In contrast...we don't have anyone with more than 5 goals...albeit Chair, Dykes and Austin all have 5.

Thanks to our decent run a few games ago, my fears of being sucked into a relegation scrap have been eased but not completely eradicated, and we are too far from the top to get excited about that now. Another couple of wins, and I'll begin to accept a comfortable mid-table position.

Team News;
QPR: Luke Amos and Charlie Owens are sidelined with long-term knee injuries. Whilst Jordy de Wijs is edging closer to full fitness.

Bristol City: Chris Martin is out, Nathan Baker, Callum O’Dowda, Liam Walsh and Marley Watkins remain doubts.

 

QPR v another team beginning with B, Nigel ‘Nutter’ Pearson’s Bristol City. Who are of course bouncing into a run of form on the arrival of Uber’s favourite coach. Fear is a powerful motivator.

Easy R’s win this one.

Cheers Dave.

 

Oh dear. Here's hoping!

 

Not my favourite coach, but one I’d take over Warburton.

 

The day I stop exaggerating for effect will be the day I stop exaggerating for effect. Innit.

 

I’ve told you a million times etc. with much ensuing mirth and titters.

 

love to see us getting something here, but fear were going on one of our losing streaks

 

You just know that Wells will score!

 

You just know that Dykes won't!

 

We cannot be in red...!

 

... with a new shirt design of a deeply plunging neckline.

 

Do we expect any changes to the line-up today?

 

Yes

 

That’s a better looking side

 

Field, Willock and Di Wijs in for Ball, Dykes and Cameron

Can't complain about that!!

 

That was the spine of the team I mentioned after the barnsley game. It just wasnt good enough
