What a rollercoaster you ride when supporting QPR! We cannot beat lowly sides or even sides in mediocrity like Sheffield Weds, but we can beat a side that was on an impressive winning streak that brought them to the Play Offs!! Anyway, our final game of the season is against the side that thrashed us and, more importantly, has to win to ensure automatic promotion. So not an easy game, although they will be nervous and perhaps leave room to exploit? Based upon Saturday's team and the news that BOS may be leaving the stadium, here is my guess at the team:

Lumley
Kakay Masterson Barbet
Shodipo Cameron Ball Amos Manning
Eze Chair

Expensive as hell, pain in the backside to get to, and we always lose. At least Forest is easy to get to and usually a good day out!

The match is almost certain to be on SKY which is good.

I've got to be honest I may be in the minority but I'd like to see Brentford and Fulham go up because we struggle against them every season. Yes, it would be nice to keep our rivals down, but it's also 12 points we are giving away next season if they stick around!

I must be in the minority too then!

However, to achieve that objective we have to beat WBA and they know they have to beat us!! As I mentioned above, we could benefit from breakaways to score, but that relies upon players up front managing to hold onto the ball until help arrives (and then the not so small accomplishment of actually scoring)... Being QPR we just might do something odd like that too!

Oh, and just seen on WBA's website that Sky will feature the game on their live channel...

West Brom have all the pressure on them. We saw what pressure did to them against Huddersfield and then to Brentford against Stoke. It is no foregone conclusion. I hope our team are well up for it and want to spoil things for West Brom.

I have seen some rumours that we could get £125,000 from a promotion clause included in the sale of Furlong to West Brom. But as I see it there is no way that a professional football club would send their team out to intentionally lose.

In case you need to start tuning your valves now:

Confirmed Championship games live on Sky Sports

Wed July 22: West Brom vs QPR, 7.30pm - Live on Sky Sports Football
Wed July 22: Brentford vs Barnsley, 7.30pm - Live on Sky Sports Mix

Interesting about the Furlong clause! We will go for it though!!

Difficult choice.

Remember when some fans (myself included!) thought we could make a late charge for the play offs after lockdown?

We resumed a month ago on 50 points. Because of our inferior goal difference we would have needed at least 71 points to make top 6 (it's currently 70 so 70 wouldn't have been enough for us on GD). So then depending on results on the final day it could have been 74 points we would have ended up needing to make the play offs.

The odds of us getting at the very least 21-24 points from the 27 we had available in the last 9 games were very low!!

And Remember when some fans then thought we were going down after a bad restart?

We resumed on 50 points which means even if we had lost all 8 games to this point our fate would still have been in our own hands heading into the final day.

It's highly likely we'd have been able to lose all 9 games we had remaining and still stayed up. 1 point from 27 would have certainly kept us up.

I wouldn't mind Brentford going up, I'm still struggling to think of them as a derby rival (perhaps because I don't go to enough games now days) and I like they way they have built and sold thier way up the leagues so similar model to what we are back to doing.

I agree with this. I'd far rather see Brentford successful than the likes of Derby who bend the rules and do iffy deals to try to get success. The only thing I have against Brentford is the fact that they keep beating us.
