Injured QPR trio Lyndon Dykes, Lee Wallace and Sam McCallum could all be fit to return for Saturday’s vital promotion clash at Blackburn.

Do we keep the same team or play them ?

I'd keep the same set up.

Put dykes in

Have to start Moses over Wallace (would bench until next weekend). Have McCallum ready to come off the bench.

Start Willock and Chair, Hendrick and Stefan. Bring Dykes in second half.

Yep agree, same team bar Dickie in for Sanderson. The others coming back from injury need to play their way back in. No one should be guaranteed a place in the team on reputation.

We need to see how it could have panned out for 90 mins. Yes, B'burn are a better team, even more so to keep the same set up.

Yes. The Willock/Chair experiment was inconclusive the other night - a proper 90min run out against more attack-minded opponents is needed. Stick to same set-up with Dickie in for Sanderson.

Bereton Diaz and Dack both missing in midweek let's hope they're no where near ewood on Saturday

Last 5 games

Looks like it's gonna be even stevens.

Blackburn have scored one goal in the last seven games - cue a striker who hasn't scored for 3 years get a hat trick!

I'd go with the same set up to start, just because we seemed to move the ball forward better and quicker, this game has a draw written all over it, as long as we get something from there I'd be happy

[Rich]

I would freshen things up as players will be tired having played an hour with 10 men. We also need a striker on the pitch this time...

Dickie for Sanderson is a given
I would replace Johansen with Amos
Dykes for Hendrick

[Rebel R's]

Apart from Dickie returning I'd keep the same side too,we looked our best for a long time up until the sending off.
Blackburn ,despite their poor recent form will e a tough very tight affair with one goal settling it,if there will be a winner.
I predict a 0-0 ,which I'd be happy with

agreed.

Dykes will probably get on in the 2nd half, but hopefully we will be winning by then.

Same lineup (sans Sanderson) will answer one of the central questions we’ve had for the season: can we win by better controlling the midfield?

Hendrick and Stefan (with Amos and Thomas ready to sub late if needed) could be the true answer with a dangerous duo of Chair/Willock up top.

Charlie is basically done, Gray can’t wait to move on, and Dykes (who I like for his hustle) is battling both injuries and inconsistency.

Given out one or two striker offense has been impotent for a month or more, what are risking?

Finally, do applaud MW for doing this — shows he’s not as set in his ways as I/many others believed.

GO YOU RRRsss.

Don’t think we can approach this game without a striker, can’t invite a team like this on to us, they were pretty unlucky the other night loads of chances ,this team hasn’t scored for 5 games, but I’m sure we’ll rectify that for them, as we’re not great at keeping clean sheets, have to be positive, and show some urgency getting the ball forward quickly. That’s what Sheff Utd did, want Willcocks running at people not playing with his back to goal
