Middlesbrough Match Thread

[LoftusRoadLad]

Mark Warburton believes he has the squad strength to consolidate QPR’s promotion push – with all attention now on the league campaign after losing to Peterborough in the FA Cup on Saturday.

With 18 games remaining, Rangers could move up to second in the Championship if they beat Middlesbrough on Wednesday.

Very tough game ahead, I saw them play Blackburn recently, they got totally mugged, very fluid with the ball, they move the ball very very quickly and with purpose, and the defence looked sound, apart from the goal they conceded, it's a game where Dion has to start in defence I think, I would put Jeff in there from the off as a disrupter as well, both with experience that will be invaluable, we really will have to be at the races from minute one,our usual slow start won't cut it, but if we get at it like we did against Reading and give them something to worry about we could upset them early on.
Every game is so important now, but this one, Forest and Blackburn I think can be considered the classic " 6 pointers"

Got the hallmarks for a draw this one.

[KevC59]

Who drops out for Sanderson and Hendricks Kev ?

Am I right in thinking players like Armstrong can still be loaned out to non league clubs but not to clubs higher up the leagues ?

[KevC59]

Just seen, Blackburn v Forest on Wednesday as well, that's massive as well in the grand scheme of things !!

Yeah and Huddersfield and Brom's games too. All in form teams.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Wonder what's the odds of Millwall, Forest, Birmingham and PNE winning

TO be honest it's a difficult decision to make, I can't make a valid case for dropping anybody, but just feel this is a game that needs some experience in there to nullify Boro, MW has bought these players in for that reason, so he has to play them sometime, remains to be seen if now is the time

Hendrick may start in place of amos. Willock just off dykes. Our bench has lots of options now. Chair, dozzell, amos, austin, gray. Good options to bring on.

[Dono77]

Still don't have anyone who can take a decent free kick! Don't know if Hendrick can have a crack, can't be worse than some of the efforts we have seen from barbet. Jesus!!

Chair hit the bar on Saturday , a couple of inches lower and it's a goal .

Very unlikely Amos is ahead of even a “rusty Illias Chair “ in the starting line up.
