Stoke Vs QPR...

First match of the 19/20 season...

First match in charge for Warburton...

First official QPR match for up to a dozen players!

Very excited for the season to start this year; after 3 years of finishing 18th, 16th and 19th we needed an overhaul and let's see where we end up! We have a lot of players to settle in and a new style of play to adapt to but I think we've done a superb job of improving the squad whilst making a profit.

I certainly sit in the camp of thinking we are in a lot better shape than we were 12 months ago. This was the line up on the opening day at Preston last year:

Ingram
Kakay Leistner Lynch Bidwell
Luongo Scowen
Osayi-Samuel Freeman Eze
Smith

Manning, Smyth and Sylla came off the bench.

So it looks like only 2 of that team may start again on Saturday (Eze and BOS), with Manning also likely to start having been on the bench 12 months ago and another 2 (Leistner and Scowen) dropping to the fringes.

What are your predictions for the opening day?

How do think we will/should line up?

I'll be in attendance for this one so will do as much feedback as I can on Saturday night!

Don't forget to enter our QPR Prediction League, Win Lose & Draw and our new game The Lone Ranger before the deadlines on Saturday!

Come on you R's!!

I am hoping for a winning start, but fully aware that Stoke are trying to do the same! I would settle for an away draw.... I am expecting the same side we saw last Saturday to start, so:

Lumley
Rangel Barbet Hall Manning
Eze Ball Amos BOS
Mlakar

with among the Subs: Kelly, Hugill, Pugh & Wallace

I know we are good kingfisher but only putting out a 10 man team does give Stoke a bit of an advantage.

I cannot believe I forgot the younger Matt Smith!

The Championship looks more ordinary than usual this year. There are no stand out teams and more than half of the teams are quite hard to predict... QPR included.

Last season at one point we were the form side and within 2 points of the play offs and I genuinely believe that, on paper, this looks a lot better side with competition for places all over the park. The defence is still perhaps a bit suspect.

So let's hope we can get off to a good start at Stoke and build some early momentum. I think most fans would take a point. Personally I reckon the first goal will have a big impact on the game; it will certainly be interesting to see how we respond if we go behind and likewise if we get ahead it could upset the locals and enable us to play freely.

That will be a real test for this new side!

Grant Hall will be Captain, slightly odd choice considering he is the one Warburton clearly wants to replace at the back.

He's one of the very few left with some QPR experience under his belt though so I assume that is why they have chosen him. And perhaps they hope it will help restore his confidence and former glories.

Luongo, Masterson and Goss were also involved. So Rangel it is today.

My main worry is we have no pace at the back and it’s aging defence
Rangel is nearly 40 and Cameron is getting on a bit too
Grant hall is no linford Christie either
That’s why we need a player like McKenna as it could cost us our league status if we can’t score more than we let in
It was our main problem last season
Look at last nights game 3-3,Luton we’re useless at defending like boro but they got lots of goals in them
