Team vs Bees

[Hitman34]

Six players have been ruled out with injury and Jordan Cousins is also a doubt for the match.

Ian Holloway will run the rule over Cousins and assess his fitness, despite the midfielder’s insistence that he is available to play.

Joel Lynch is also out of the game after twisting his ankle in the 2-0 defeat against Derby County in the week and he is expected to be out for a prolonged period.

Darnell Furlong will also miss the West London derby with injury.

Meanwhile, long term absentees Grant Hall, Nedum Onuoha, Steven Caulker and James Perch all remain sidelined and will miss Monday’s game.

However, the one piece of good news is that Australian international Massimo Luongo has been passed fit.

The talented midfielder missed the midweek loss at Derby County but he has since recovered from his illness.

The Verdict

It seems like QPR have a bit of an injury crisis at the back.

Hall, Lynch, Onuoha, Perch, Caulker and Furlong’s injuries mean that QPR are without six defenders for Monday’s game.

This is a figure that would be likely to stretch any team in the division and Holloway will be thoroughly considering his alternative options.

can Gump play in 6 positions at once? i'm sure hollowhead will try.

Think you've got that set up right Stan ! Anything less than four in midfield and Brentford will run us ragged again , but apparently furlong is crocked

I'd play Kakay there then, at least that's his position by trade. Or in a real crisis Mackie is actually capable of playing RB. He's done it before and did ok there. It's the only position I'd trust him in.

[davieqpr]

We only seem to have a specialist coach in one area, defence. Where are the vast majority of our injuries this season?Defence. Coincidence?.Bad luck?

[Hitman34]

What is the actual target for this season?

bungle quote "no point going up if we are going to come straight back down"

lee hoo's "New training ground and prem league football is my ambition for 5 year plan"

Dof les not known.

fans midtable stability

ian knobhead "we need to be in and around the playoffs"

Holloway still has the Championship play-offs in his sights and believes their performances from a few home games this season can give his side belief.

"It's all about confidence," he said.

"Right now we need to dig in and get a result against these to start us up another run, to get us up around those play-offs because it's so tight.


clearly, the whole setup are not communicating very well.

i would say, lee hoo's has the most realistic target while bungle is not bothered anymore.

les, for once is doing something right by keeping his big hole shut and knobhead........ well knobhead still dreaming of a win tonight will be the starting point of a playoff push.

I pointed that out to a poster here the other day and he said I was too intelligent to take those IH comments at face value, even though he broadcasted it live to the world. If I was an 8 year old QPR fan listening to that, I'd certainly believe he meant it.

Think I'd opt for Mackie Stan as Westy said this is job for badge kissers and love or hate him we know he will run his guts out

[SpongeParr]

Smithies
Mackie (no right choice for here. every pun intended) Baptise Robbo Bidwell
Bright Luongo Scowen Freeman Wheeler
Sylla


Pace to hit on the break and wingers to get the ball into the box for Sylla.

[dogsrrs]

Isn't Bright also injured ??

[Kevin Mcleod]

Think knobed has got to play with ten men again and push Gladwin back into the defence tonight.

[Hitman34]

well, none of these players will be in the squad for tonight....

No Chair for the U-23's but Kakay at rb

Cousins is available again so guess he'll start at rb with Wsolek or Wheeler rw

[LoftusRoadLad]

Ryan Woods has assured the Brentford fans that the squad are going to be giving 100 per cent to ensure that bragging rights over QPR remain at Griffin Park.

The Bees have not yet sold their allocation with many fans citing ticket prices at Loftus Road as a reason for not going.

[West Acton]

Think they have sold 1800 which is pretty poor regardless of prices. How much we charging??

Was it not £30+ at there’s last year??
