Match Preview;
Still seems a bit too early to tell much about how this season is going to work out, given we've only had four games, but none the less our opponents on Saturday have started well, and are lying in 3rd, level with Swansea on 10 points and 2 points off joint leaders Bristol City and Reading. Their top scorer, Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld, has 2 goals already, as Bournemouth look for an immediate return to the top flight after relegation last season. Rumours are that Josh King, who has played 161 games and scored 48 goals for Bournemouth in the last 5 years, is about to join West Ham...a deal I hope won't be done by Saturday, just to slightly unsettle them. Who knows if that really makes a difference or not?

As for us, pleasing to see that we have agreed a deal with Southend United for teenage striker Charlie Kelman. He looks a very good, young prospect and a good signing. Having now won only one of our first four games, we still sit just outside the playoffs, thanks to two draws...and a few wins could put us in a good position to have a solid season. I'll add team news when it is on the official...enjoy those who will be watching and...

...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

 

I've just noticed how f*cking awful their badge is...

 

I have every confidence in our midfield for this one. Every confidence.

 

Sarcasm doesn't get u anywhere! Average midfield height 5ft average weight 8st, that can hustle anyone in the Championship

 

That’s not necessarily a problem. Watched a bit of the Harrogate win last night and they had a guy in midfield who was about three feet tall and was brilliant. Like a modern Gordon Strachan.

Ours just aren’t very good and the best of a bad bunch don’t tend to get picked. Bmouth for this level have what looks a very good central midfield.

 

The giants of West London versus the titans of the South Coast.

This has epic written all over it.


Or not.


WIN IT FOR ****’S SAKE!!!!




Cheers Dave.

 

You should let our scouts know...

 

Hadn't noticed but you are right...straight out of 'Microsoft Clip Art'.

 

Brilliant spot!
I know what it is supposed to be but, looked at from top down, the head looks like a fist holding a nit comb!

 

I've yet to see a player with his ear sticking out of his neck...

 

Hope BOS is playing for us and not them Saturday. That would be a good start, but think we will really need to step up for this one, they looked very good going forward against Coventry recently.

 

Dykes playing again tonight, 3 matches in 6 days doesn't stop running either, so surely a doubt for Saturday?

 

Can't wait to see our new cardboard cut-out fans...I think one of them is a bit upset about being there though



Yes, I know we're away, but this is just ****in hilarious

Cool Kiwi but we will be in blue Saturday

 

Warburton not happy and let Clarke know about it. Guess Dykes will be on bench...

 

The game is on the tv in Sweden, so not on QPR+ for us Johny foreigners.

 

Same here in Norway. So I can see the game on a big good TV screen, but it seems like we usually loose when we are live on the box.
