Just to prove that we have reached that time of the season when injuries and suspensions bite for all teams, here is an article from Boro's website:
So it is not just the Rs (with Eze, Leistner, Smith and Barbet) who have problems....
This is a side against which, in the past, we have struggled to break down and low scores have been the norm; but I feel that the squad will be up for this fixture. It is difficult to judge where we are with injuries and the need to rest players such as Chair, but here is my starting eleven:
Kelly
Kane Masterson Hall Wallace Manning [update: Masterson played for U23s Tuesday. Not sure if that makes him less likely or more likely to play]
Ball
BOS Wells Hugill Pugh
Jonathan Woodgate could be without EIGHT players for Saturday’s trip to Queens Park Rangers.
The probable absences increased after Monday’s Under-23s game against Manchester United with Marcus Browne (hamstring) and Ben Liddle (illness) the latest to be ruled out.
Browne pulled up clutching his hamstring after just eight minutes while Liddle was withdrawn after sickness struck during the half-time break.
The duo join five other players in the treatment room ahead of the Loftus Road clash.
Rudy Gestede (hamstring), Ryan Shotton, Darren Randolph (thigh) and George Friend (thigh) were joined by Ashley Fletcher (calf) at the end of last week.
George Saville will also miss the QPR trip after being sent-off during the 2-0 defeat at Derby on Saturday. He will serve the first of his three-game ban this weekend.
