Can we make it 4 on the bounce ?

Cannot remember the last time we done that ?

Then we won 1 from next 8.... typical Rangers really.

I think we're at our best when we're chugging along under the radar - minute there is a bit of a "run" or swell of hope we invariably go into a nosedive!

We all know it but you can't say it! We're all on a high with relegation worries behind us right now!

The small pitch at LR comment a while ago makes perfect sense to me as to why this squad can struggle at home. We haven't been a rough and aggressive team for a while, the players need room to breath, not scrap for every ball. Thye probably feel the pressure more too.

I think we are slowly turning a corner against set pieces, look ok against Liecester.

A win is possible but a draw and think that's realistic.

ON WEDNESDAY night, QPR will remember the great Stan Bowles when we host West Bromwich Albion at MATRADE Loftus Road.

QPR FC | Paying tribute to Stan Bowles

• The QPR players will be wearing ‘Bowles 10’ shirts when they come out of the tunnel instead of their usual walk-out jackets
• A fan mosaic will be on show the entire length of the Stanley Bowles Stand, with the wording ‘Bowles 10’
• We will be joined by the following members of our famous 1975/76 side, who shared a pitch with Bowles: Ron Abbott, Gerry Francis, Ian Gillard, Frank McLintock, Phil Nutt, Don Shanks & Dave Thomas
• We are also honoured to be joined by Bowles’ son Carl and two of his grandchildren

Would like to think we could get 6 points from the 2 home games but would be happy to get 4 and remain unbeaten for a while ,and breed confidence in the team, and they should be brimming with that after Saturday , but keeping our feet on the ground Marti got the tactics spot on v Leicester but the onus is on us to take the game to WBA being the home side

[Abseits]

Would it be acceptable to sit back, let Baggies have the ball for 70 minutes and have umpteen attacks, 25+ shots (mostly off target) and hope to win with a breakaway goal or two? The keen eyed amongst you will notice I've quoted the Leicester away blueprint!

I suppose its a resounding "yes" if we pick up the points but it's not much of a spectacle if a few of their shots fly in and we muff our chance.

2-2 tonight
Frey and Willock

[Sleeping Giants]

Interesting choices up top. I like Smyth as an impact sub, he doesn't seem as good as a starter and Frey similar. I'm gonna assume Marti knows what he's doing. Come on u Rs!

[NicRanger]

Slightly surprised Smyth starts after Willock and Dykes created the first goal in the last match, but it makes sense to bring in fresher players and that’s a great bench for the second half.

Interesting to see Marti stick with Field - a good reminder that some of the players we have are not so bad, and that premier league loanees are not always more effective.

[shaggy24]

Come on rangers lets remember Stan in style tonight

[topperharley]

He's going to try and hold them for the first half and go for it a bit more in the second with that line up surely.

Get in Field!
