And ahead of the 4^th round, The Emirates FA Cup Twitter account decided to get people excited for the games by asking fans what they thought the best goal was in the history of the FA Cup 4^th round. And whilst they tried to sway the argument somewhat by showing a goal from Wayne Rooney back in 2005, Queens Park Rangers had the perfect response up their sleeve.

Full strength team ?
I say go for it, the 5th round could bring us a pot of dosh.

[Stainrod]

I’d bring Leistner , manning and Hugill back ,maybe start Clarke as well .

[Abseits]

We never win at Ewood. Reckon I've been there a dozen times and can't remember a single win. Anyway, I'd rather play a full strength XI on Friday and just send a bunch of kids as sacrificial lambs to Lancashire on Tuesday. I think our first team can blitz Wednesday, Bannon's their only semi-decent player - just detail Josh Scowan to shut him down and we'll be laughing all the way to a 5th round tie at Barnsley on a Sunday night at 6pm......

We will have a strongish team out on Friday and a stronger team at Ewood, its just the way the cup has gone, on our day we can win both games so here's hoping, I'm going to Ewood and would not be happy with a team of fringe players!

"Again we're at home on Friday night in the FA Cup and have the chance to go in the hat so why would you not want to be up for the game?

"You have to look after your squad, the league is so demanding in terms of the fixtures and the pressure it puts on players.

"You have to make sure you respond accordingly but I want to win that game on Friday night.

"There's the chance for the supporters to get a glamour tie in the fifth round and you're only so many games away from Wembley so why not?"

Toni Leistner will be hoping for a return to first-team action after making it onto the bench against Leeds following a hamstring injury.

Yoann Barbet is also pushing for a comeback after missing the last three months with injury.

Hugill missed out against Leeds with a knock but if passed fit could go straight back into the side having bagged twice in QPR's 5-1 third round win over Swansea City.

Sheffield Wednesday picked up an impressive 1-0 away win at Premier League Brighton in their third-round tie.

Rangers then return to league action on Tuesday night when they travel to take on Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.

Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Massimo Luongo ready to take on the boo-boys as he returns to former club QPR

Massimo Luongo admitted he is unsure of the reception he will get at QPR on Friday after the cancellation of his suspension for the straight red shown in the defeat against Blackburn Rovers freed him up for a Rangers return.

Boo or not ? Not me thinks

No reason to boo him , he always tried his best for us , although I wasn’t disappointed he left .

I'd put Cameron back at rb in place of Kane and replace him in the middle with Ball. Otherwise I'd keep the same as the Leeds game. Got to try and get a decent cup run as it will generate some extra income. QPR shouldn't be in a relegation fight this season and are unlikely to push for the play offs and as the final league position doesn't earn extra money, but a good cup run does that is what I would be focussing on. Of course , we won't win the cup but a QF or better appearance is possible.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Anyone remember that 1993 FA cup game ?

[Stainrod]

Yeah I was there , we were a good side then , we should have done better in cups in those days.

[LoftusRoadLad]

“We’ll be putting out a strong team to try and win the game and I hope our fans can come out. I think Friday night is a great night for football. You finish work, the working week, and then you get to watch your team under the lights. It’s fantastic.

“I hope very much that our supporters can respond to that and that it’ll be a good game. We want to go into the hat for the fifth round.”
