Match preview;
Match preview will come after the game this afternoon against Huddersfield...in reality, this is way too early for this thread. Doing a Match Day thread for the game on Wednesday, before the game on Saturday has been played is absurd, and any complaints can be addressed to 'FAO Quite Possibly Raving.'

After our 0 - 1 loss to Huddersfield, we sit 13th. Yesterday's game was a frustrating one to watch, as yet again, we had more of the possession (66%), but failed to do much with it, recording only four shots and only two on target. We looked tired and lacking any cutting edge in attack. Looking at our fixtures, we have this game, then Reading on the 20th, then a near two week break until our game on Friday April 2nd. I hope at least part of those two weeks will be spent resting up, and having a break before the final run in to the end of the season.

Millwall, on the other hand, beat Derby 0-1 to move up to 10th in the table. Their top scorer this year is Jed Wallace, with 7 goals, closely followed by former Ranger Matt Smith, and Scott Malone, both on 5 goals. Gary Rowett has put together a decent looking side at Millwall since his arrival in October 2019. They've won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five, and will be looking for a strong end to the season.

I'll add team news when it goes up, others can add what they know, and as always...

...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

 

Very good.

 

That's better Dave....now there's still a dozen games to go so get your finger out or Raving will be raging!!

 

Bump.

So I do a match day thread too late, and I get grief. I do it too early, and it falls onto page 2, potentially never to be seen again.

 

Cheers Dave.

The words QPR v Millwall are ugly on the page, and I expect it to be ugly on the pitch too.

We are due a draw.

 

Well done Dave! So we are playing ‘wall’.

 

Charlie is due a goal.

 

Eberechi Eze

 

Matt Smith can be a cumbersome lump, but he does score goals

 

He/they seem to be a bit of form of late... that’s not a good sign.

 

Let's hope Sod's law doesn't apply tonight...

 

He won't trouble us tonight, his season is over with a broken foot...

 

.

 

Is it not Wednesday yet? Bloody lockdown!

 

Agree about sod's law, but it is on Wednesday night, not tonight.

 

I stand corrected, thanks, Dave. Just checked and it is a red button game, whahoo! As you say, ko 7.00pm.

 

It's tricky with so many mid-week games and different kick off times. I do miss the 19:45 kick offs...gave time to finish work, get kids in bed and properly follow in peace. With this kick off time, lots will miss most of the first half.

 

Agree, it's too early to be practical for fans. I assume it will be ditched in favour of 19:45 once we're allowed back into stadiums.

 

Please, please, PLEASE can we beat Millwall?!!

 

Wish we was playing away!
