I've started this now as I just noticed Coventry are playing tonight (Tuesday) at Gillingham in the cup.

Then they face us on Friday night (LIVE ON SKY), so they will have played 3 games in 7 days after having not played for 6 months from March to September. Does that give us an edge/benefit us?

And of course from a QPR perspective... after an impressive showing against Forest does the QPR line up pick itself this week?

Or would you be looking to make a few changes despite the win?

Personally I wouldn't change a thing and hope we can put in a good performance live on TV, which is rare, but does happen every blue moon. Hopefully Friday is one of the good days and we can stay at the top of the table!

Glad you created this thread northwesthoop as I am out of Friday - wining & dining my missus as a belated birthday pressie. So I would not have been available to provide live score updates or even comments to the thread. in fact, I am hoping to ignore all mentions of the final score so I can watch the full 90 mins video without any preconceptions on the result! Of course that does not stop me speculating....

Assuming Warburton does not see a need for different tactics for a different side then I think those who started last Saturday are almost certain to start again this Saturday. In fact I think those on the fringe are going to have to wait for an injury, suspension or a pretty drastic loss of form to start a game! Coventry like to attack too, so it should be a good game.

I don't think this is going to be an easy game, from what I saw of their highlights they are a very attacking team so we are going to have to be on form to get a result.

3 games on 7 days is tough for any team so suspect they will have a few changes in their line up whereas i never know what MW is going to do, personally i say stick with a winning team but its possible we could see some new incoming players by then.

Skip the starters, straight to mains, no time for pudding as you declare you feel a Dickie tummy coming on (see what I did there) so need to get home asap. You'll be home by 7.45. Enjoy the match and the wife may even feel sorry for you if you make the odd dash to the toilet to keep the facade going. Winner winner!

Many happy belated birthday greetings to Mrs. Kingfisher but those are some brilliant tactics from northwesthoop!

Anyone else got pre match nerves. It was an unexpected result last week which has given me false hope for this game. Coventry looked a very attacking team in their highlights (I know you shouldn't read to much in to it) but they will want a win in the first home game of the season.

Our wide players are going to have to be bang on it tonight.

Yes I'm looking forward to this match. If you can't get excited and feel a bit more optimistic after an impressive opening day win when can you?

We need to be as solid as we were last week. We looked a lot tougher to break down and then looked dangerous when we got the ball ourselves. More of the same please.

But this is on SKY and as we all know the curse is real. We may get the odd win, but they are a once a season kind of thing. Maybe tonight is the night for this season. Hopefully!

All of your feedback on my dilemma are touching, as are the suggestions to get ill. However two flaws in all this - I gave the bug to my missus in the first place and we do not have Sky on which to watch the match. Nice thoughts though lads!

I think last season was one of our best with 2 wins. And it was still not great!

Won 2. Drew 3. Lost 5.

Drew with West Brom
Beat Leeds
Drew with Swansea
Lost to Brentford
Lost to Reading
Beat Birmingham
Lost to Fulham
Lost to Brentford
Drew with Reading
Lost to West Brom

And if you think that's bad look at this...

QPR have won 1 of their last 18 matches played on Friday. Lost 17.

So are we due a draw?

The win was Vs Villa (October 2018)

We have only lost 50% plus most of the teams have been bogey teams for us over the years. Its London derbies we don't do well in :-) Bring them on!!!!!!

THANK YOU SURREY!!!

I came on here to post exactly that! When you deliver such a good performance on the first day against a strong team it does make such a difference. I hope the team feel that way too. I can't help but feel that 2 wins on the bounce from the off would really put a spring in our step.

Here's the question...which QPR will he send out? Last weeks solid team or the swashbuckling team that lost 5-3 to Barnsley last season?

I really hope we play the same team to get some consistency, the only change I may consider is to play Smyth to give us more counter attacking pace but not sure who I would leave out. Is therr any chance we could put 12 out and hope that no one notices?
