Leicester City v QPR - Match Thread

[Abseits]

Early start to thread, get a bit of buzz and build up going for Saturday..

I notice they are in action in FA Cup tomorrow (Tuesday) night at Bournemouth. Good. They put a lot into their last game with Leeds and a midweek trek to a Southern footballing backwater isn't giving them the week of rest we're getting.

Defensive lynchpin Westergard got sent off at Leeds so he misses Saturday now.

Think there are cup games on ITV and ITV4 most nights this week BTW, seems FA Cup 5th round is now a midweek thingy.

I think Colback is banned again - Field and Hayden in midfield?

Hopefully the Chair situation will get a bit more clarification this week - i did wonder if when he was subbed in the last minute on saturday it was to give him a send off?

mind you it did feel odd - giving him such rousing support - if he has smashed a bloke over the head with a stone!

Colback has been excellent of late, be a real shame if he's not available.

Would like to see Andersen start.

[FurtiveFox]

Suspect Hayden for Colback and personally would have Anderson over Hodge. I like Hodge but Anderson is experienced and seems to just have that bit of quality about him. That aside would keep team as was.

No idea of score. I do not think we particularly need to fear anyone in this division. Plenty capable of giving anyone a game although we do make it hard for ourselves sometimes. Leicester must be favourites by quite some way but would not be overly surprised if we did nick a draw or even win.

I am sure most people have done the odd stupid thing when they were young , i certainly did.
Chair should be judged on what he's done , doing for QPR , it's not like he's murdered or molested , raped a women etc.
Might have just chucked a stone at the geezer and he's unluckily got a fractured Skull.

Interesting take on the situation through very rose tinted QPR glasses!

If it were frank Lampard or John Terry i'm sure you wouldn't be so understanding or forgiving!

At the end of the day he has still violently attacked and maimed another human - QPR player or not.

After two loses on the bounce I have a feeling we'll get the backlash.

We'll have to ride our luck to grab a draw. My heart says 1-1 but my head is saying 3-0

[LoftusRoadLad]

If they can lose....they can lose against us.

Every one expects them to turn us over so we ain't gotta worry about one game against premiership players,

Pressure is on them.

1967 4th round
They were drawn against Leicester City in the following round. Three goals in the second half saw QPR come back from being 2–1 down to win the match by 4–2. The first of these goals was a rebound off Leicester goalkeeper Gordon Banks after a shot by Rodney Marsh, then a shot by Les Allen went through a Leicester goalmouth packed with defenders, and the final goal came from Mark Lazarus in similar circumstances to the Allen goal.

I didn't think they were that much better than us at home under GA winks scores a worldie Dozy sent off were better now our forms not far off theirs its winnable and we could turn them over

[Dono77]

Got my ticket today. So far we have sold 2.5k out of am allocation of 3305. With 5 days to go and no tickets on the day I reckon we will be taking over 3k and possibly even the full allocation! Should be a great turnout....yet again! The supporters should be getting the player of the season award! Unreal support in an awful season!!!

What i mean is , he was applauded off the pitch against Rotherham and that is right . He should'nt be castigated just for a fight that turned out wrong for him.
No one knows what actually happened other than there was a fight and Chair alledgedly hit him or threw the rock at this lorry driver . Well if you are in a fight you do what you can to win it in my view. It is a bit different if Chair attacked this geezer for no reason , then he deserves whats coming to him.
If it was Lampard or Terry i would have wished it was their Skull that was smashed in.

C'mon guys... keep the Chair incident in the separate thread, it's a depressing saga and no need to have it creep into this or other threads. Keep focus here on how we upset Fox's apple cart on Saturday - good vibes only

[LordLoftus]

Sinclair is going to run their tires defense ragged. He just needs to score off one of the breakaways and then we will open them apart... or they thrash us 5-0.

In 2 minds whether to go or not ...

[M1971]

To have any chance we need to tell Nergovic to get the ball as far wide and up the field at any set plays around our penalty area.He is a liability.Cook and Clarke salter need to be up the pitch not on our 6 yard line trying to receive the ball whilst the opposition are just pressing us as high up the pitch as we allow them too just heaping more pressure on us and inevitably making mistakes ..We are at the bottom end of the league yet we still think we are Barcelona.That can be tried in pre season not when your fighting relegation
