Happy New Year to all on Hoops & Dreams! Let's hope that when you are inoculated you can get back on the terraces and we lose nobody we love or care for.
Yet again we see why nobody should try to predict Championship games - and certainly none involving QPR! Norwich are not at the top of the league for nothing and they certainly were not complacent. Instead we saw a 3-4-3 set-up soak up Norwich's greater possession and loose balls being fought for. Lots of bookings (and a dodgy penalty) but this was just the performance to put in when it really mattered! Despite the Beeb's reporter claiming it was a draw we did not deserve - this was justice. Now against the more physical and resurgent Hatters can the Rs actually create a win? Here are the stats:
Luton WLDLW 30pts 13th -4GD
QPR LDDLD 21pts 19th -10GD
James Collins is by far their biggest threat, with 9 goals in 20 games. So you would expect him to be man-marked by Cameron. [Surprisingly I knew a murderer by that name...]
This is not a 'must win' game but it surely is a 'must not lose' game for Warburton? Any bets on formation and tactics? Only the brave or foolish will opt for other than more of the same against Norwich methinks.... So, barring injuries (BOS?) or transfers (BOS?):
Dieng
Dickie Cameron Barbet
Kane Ball Carroll Hamalainen
Chair Dykes BOS
