QPR Vs Luton

Its going to be a very fiesty game on the pitch (and off it) as their fans will no doubt be firing up the players before the match via social media. I think we need Cameron back to give us a bit of steel in midfield.

This will be my first game I attend this season and, for a change, I am in the South Africa Stand. I wanted to go in the Loftus Road end so I stand (and ease my dodgy knee) but you have to be a fully subscribed QPR supporter - not just a registered ticket purchaser!

I agree regarding Cameron in front of a Back 4 because they will probably prefer to go through the middle against our slower CBs, and he still may be preferable if we go for 3 x CBs at the back. The midfield will be critical but width is where we can hurt most sides this season. Passing out through the middle and then to the wings for the likes of BOS, Manning, Rangel, Pugh or Kane to advance will stretch sides trying to keep to a rigid formation. Add the threat of Chair & Eze behind Hugill and/or Wells and you should be able to open up most teams! Biggest question though: Can we keep a clean sheet.....?

It will be worth the discomfort if we win! I do agree re this match being a 'litmus test' for the rest of the season. If the squad can pick up from where the left off before the international break that will show their character. If they do then I see QPR as a 'top half' side this season for sure!

Out of interest, Pugh is credited as our most successful passer of the ball, followed by Eze. Of course that does not take into account those who surge forward, like BOS/Amos/Chair; but that does indicate class. My guess at the team? I think Warburton will not go defensive (in terms of 5-3-2) but rather line-up as:

Lumley; Rangel Hall, Barbet, Manning [other alternatives are available, such as Leistner and Kane though]
Eze Ball Chair
Well Hugill

Supreme confidence kingfisher to only line up with 10 men.  

We win 3-2 to make it 9 points from the last 9.

We were sensational for the first 30 minutes and at 3-0 it could have been even more.

Luton fought back and right to the death there were chances at either end but we held out for a win.

Attacking wise we are superb with goals all over the place. Top 6 in the league no doubt.

However we cannot defend like we are, even scoring 3 it gets edgy. We still have no clean sheet. Lumley's place will be in doubt now after a bad error today that helped swing the tide of the game.

The main thing is we got the 3 points and if we play like we did in the first half we are a force.

Looking at highlights
Lumley mistake was school playground standard
Wells is untouchable when he’s on form and he looks a different player this season already
Eze is also standing out and we will need to fight off a big club soon I reckon to hold on to him
