Niko to start at LB after MW watching the U23s this week and Wallace's performance against Coventry.

[shaggy24]

If we’re paying Manning wages may as well play him as Wallace was pony last game regardless of contract manning better than Wallace as long as he’s prepared to put in a shift which he didn’t do at Plymouth

i still can’t see Lumley being dropped for Dieng though but hopefully I’m wrong

"We know what we face and we went to the Riverside recently and got the victory, so we know what we have to do, and hopefully we can deliver that level of performance on Saturday."

With a final training session to go on Friday morning, the Hoops boss also revealed his squad has no new injury concerns.



Lets hope he plays the strongest raring to go team.

Agree with this, but I’d play Manning in a more forward role. It’s been proven he can’t defend, so don’t play him there! Haameleinen in for Wallace, Chair in number 10 role and Dieng in for Lumley PLEASE!

MARK Warburton’s QPR will look to bounce back this weekend, following last Friday's disappointing defeat at Coventry City, with the R’s boss aware that his side let themselves down last time out.

Despite a promising first-half display, Rangers left the midlands with nothing. Warburton is keen for his side to put some costly individual mistakes right as quickly as possible, starting with Saturday's home clash with Middlesbrough.

Boro, who are still searching for their first league win of the new Sky Bet Championship campaign, will be looking to build on last week’s draw with AFC Bournemouth.

“We have to get on and learn from our mistakes,” Warburton told www.qpr.co.uk. “The players are all professionals. We have to grow from the bad games as much as we do the good ones. In any job, you have to take responsibility and be held accountable for any issues and that is no different here.

“As a unit, we lacked that cutting edge that we desire. We did dominate the football in the first half last week and were in total control. We then gave away a soft goal on half time and gave Coventry a huge boost.

“We have sat down this week and studied the game and, in truth, the analysis we have done was purely on those errors. We can talk about the other aspects of play, the moving patterns and what we did well in the first half, etc. But, right now for me, it is purely about how we defend our goal and those set pieces.”

Rangers’ attention now switches to this weekend’s clash with Middlesbrough in W12 and Warburton knows that despite not picking up a victory so far, Boro are a very talented side.

He said: “They have a very strong squad. Against Watford on the opening day they played very well. It was a great header from Craig Cathcart to take the points but they were in the game the entire time and were very good.

“Last weekend against Bournemouth they got a well-deserved point thanks to a good goal from Paddy McNair. They aren’t to be underestimated.

“If you look at their squad it is filled with quality, experience and pace with the likes of Assombalonga and Fletcher. They also have a lot physicality at the back. They have a talented side but we travelled to the Riverside at the end of last season, performed really well and got the victory. We know what we have to do and we will look to produce a good performance on Saturday.”

As Warburton’s side head into this weekend’s set of fixtures, the R’s gaffer has no injury concerns, but is aware that depth to his squad is still needed.

He said: “We are in a good position - everyone is working tirelessly. We don’t want to tempt fate, but as it stands everyone is fit and well.

“However, we are still working hard behind-the-scenes on transfers. I still think we need one or two more. As we go forward, we will have to start using the squad more and we defiantly need that extra depth.

“At the moment, things are relatively calm but once the international break comes and goes, we will be facing three games every week and the mayhem ensues and the demands on a smaller squad like ours will be really tough.

“People will look at this now and say it will be fine but a lot of clubs will suffer. You have to hope that injuries and suspensions all go your way because, if they go against you, you could be in trouble.
