Match Preview;
In their second season back in the Championship after relegation, Stoke started the year by losing to us, 1-2 at their place. Since then they have not had a great season, and now sit one place and four points above the relegation zone, however, they have won three of their last five. Sam Clucas is their top scorer with only 7 goals, and they will be needing to pick up as many points as they can to avoid a very nervy end to the season.

We now haven't won in our last four, and depending on your perspective we threw away a good chance for a win on Tuesday night, when Pugh was awful...or we did well to grind out a good draw, with Pugh clearly man of the match...such are the differing views of football fans. Either way you look at it...surely Saturday presents a good chance to get a win and pick up the points we need to 100% ensure a very boring end to the season.

I'll add team news later, and enjoy those who are going...and as always...

...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

 

Clearly lots of excitement over this match...don't want the thread to slip to the dreaded second page.

 

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

 

Here's something to wake the faithful, a memorable finish against Stoke...

 

Happy days!
How far we've fallen but we are on the up. Hopefully. Maybe. One day.

The 75/76 game when Webb scored with the last kick of the game to win 3-2 should be included in the games to remember as it was an absolute belter.....I'll try and post the you tube footage later....

 

Your wish is my command...22,328 attended, in case you were wondering.

 

Me and the two lads went mental when that went in.

 

Is Storm Denis going to **** this up?

 

I was in the SA low seating for that one, great afternoon with 20 000 last minute orgasms. My memory plays Masson scoring from 20/25 yards out, outside the circle, and about level with where I was sitting, yet the video shows him much closer in. Technology must be ****ed up.

 

Hopefully this works for the 1975 game

 

Tony Incenzo tweeted that games should be postponed well in advance and not while folk are in transit. Sensible advice. They've got the same catastrophic forecasts as the rest of us.

 

That 76 Stoke games rates as my favourite ever (at home)
Glad I’m not alone

 

Looking at that we never said “what a crap keeper we have ...”!!
2 mistakes that would be smashed now

 

Can't see it listed as being shown on QPR+ but nothing on the official about it not being shown...anyone know if it is being shown elsewhere?

 

It's up on the Official as being shown, main page and for sale on QPR+

 

Temporary blindness, thanks.

 

That was a brilliant moment but I'd rate the 3-2 against Liverpool with Mackie's late winner as the best, it was the catalyst for the late run of home wins that kept us up...

 

Yep, player of the season as well that year......mind he was a brilliant keeper normally
