With only 4 points since the restart we now face a Play-off chasing Milwall. Another local derby, another opportunity for the Rs to fluff it once again...

Well we can assume Rangel and Hugill are unavailable so who would you select in what is likely to be a forceful opponent? Here is my guess:

Lumley
Kakay Masterson Barbet
BOS Ball Cameron Manning
Eze Oteh Shodipo

What is your guess?

I wanted us to get Gary rowett when he was available as manager
absolutely no chance in this game and I’d like us to ruin their play off ambition but we probably won’t
we are 100% safe nowhere to go in the table higher or lower
but saying that we can relax now and play with no pressure at all

I can't believe Millwall are in such a great position. They only have a limited squad so it shows what can be achieved with solid recruitment and a good manager.

I really hope they don't go up though!! Nasty club.

My brother supports Brentford, so he is already delighted at how much better they are doing; but my South Coast walking football club has a Fulham and a Milwall supporter, so I have to put up with a lot of ribbing. Can we not just thrash Milwall..?

Brentford I can’t stand
Millwall I totally and utterly despise
Leeds and West Brom deserve to go up
and if Brentford didn’t it would be a injustice as they have been so good this season
they have some very good young players
not personal choice but I’d prefer Brentford over Millwall if they get in the play offs

My best mate is a Brentford fan and like you I've been getting a lot of ribbing and plenty of mocking phone calls. I can only imagine how much stick I'm going to get when they are promoted.

It would be good,to get in the way of any promotion bid and make it awkward for both teams
we won’t up our game as we’ve nothing to play for now and we actually done well as I remember we were second favourites to go down at the start of the season
But in our position we could of done a lot better
there are fine margins in this league and we will only finish probably about 5 or 6 points above The relegation zone anyway

Millwall are a big rough team and we are a small weak team so I can see us getting bullied.

If Sheffield Wednesday can put 3 past us with no out and out striker in their team then what will Millwall do with a battering ram or two up front?

This is the type of game where you need Leistner because whilst he is slow against the fast tricky striker he is in his element when you need someone to stand up and battle to win headers.

I would expect them to play big Matt Smith who will rough up Barbet and cause all sorts of havoc.

If the game is on the radio I will have a listen but no way will I be paying to watch this one!

Here's your QPR fact of the day:

If we concede 5 goals in the remaining 2 games, and thus pass 75 goals against, it will be our worst season defensively in 51 years (previous worst 95 against in 68/69)

If we concede 4 it will equal our worst defensive season (relegation season 2001) in that half century when we conceded 75.

And to update this further...

We've scored 61 which is already our best total since the 10/11 promotion season when we scored 71. We only scored 60 in the 13/14 play off winning season.

In fact since we scored 80 in the 03/04 promotion season this has been our 2nd best goal scoring season in those last 16 seasons.

Good at one end, terrible at the other!

Your comment about needing Leistner for this game is spot on! Not the sort of team you want to be facing with a relatively in experienced RB (Kakay) and CB (Masterson). Same applies up front with Chair's height and Eze's delicate touches - Millwall will do their best to ensure they do not settle on the ball. Once answer would be to use both Shodipo (on the wing) and BOS (CF). That way you will maintain the width but strengthen the physical side of our game in the middle. In midfield I would definitely play Ball and Cameron for the same reason.

I suspected those stats would apply and, in all honesty, I have no idea what to say about them - especially as now we have a forward line incapable of getting high scores but still the same defence....

With it looking like there will be no BOS what does that mean for the already weak forward line?

Presumably Shodipo or Clarke could start. This just doesn't strike me as a game to be playing with a front line of Clarke and Chair. A stiff breeze could knock them over, never mind the Millwall defence! The only other option though is Oteh. Grim times.
