Part 2 of the Bank Holiday Easter Weekend sees QPR travelling north to Nottingham, bolstered by a strong victory against a poor Coventry whilst the Florists beat Cardiff 1-0. Here are the stats:

Notts For LDLDW 16th 45pts -7GD

QPR WLWDW 12th 53pts -1GD

Based upon the stats and the QPR playing away you would expect a draw. However we will be looking for another definite performance from the Rs against a side we seem to normally struggle against. Here is my thoughts on the starting XI:

Dieng [Lumley played well but....]
Dickie Cameron Barbet [De Wijs still recovering from a groin strain apparently]
Kane Field Johansen Wallace [Kakay did not deliver as know he can so Kane gets selected]
Chair Dykes Willock [Austin did not perform and I would select Dykes or Bonne ahead of him]

Dieng or Lumley will be an interesting choice as Dieng did make a mistake against Reading before the break and Lumley did all he could to keep his place. I expect Dieng to come back in.

De Wijs seems a bit injury prone.

I still think Austin will start because we have 4 days off after this match.

We could see the same 10 outfield players for this one after such a good performance on Friday.

Sadly I also think Warburton will not go with my Starting XI. I am not sure if he is loyal to those selected or dislikes change, but there seems a reluctance to make changes. I know we beat Coventry convincingly, but Forrest will be a stiffer test and I see the predictions are mainly for a draw.

This is actually a great idea...Given Austin's fitness/age I think he could do more damage coming on early in the second half

On a side note I notice Bonne has slipped well down the pecking order; even Kelman came on a sub ahead of him against Coventry.
When Dykes doesn't start it used to be Bonne starting in his place; now we alter the shape rather than playing Bonne.

Too early to write him off completely and make him the latest member of the "Conor Washington waste of money hall of shame"?

Hope not as the training video showed how sharp Bonne can be. What Warburton needs to do is translate that training excellence into real matches as well!

We go in to this game 4th in the current form table, whilst Forest go in to it sitting in 20th. On paper, we should be able to win. However we all know that we don't do well at the City Ground usually. I'd like to think we can win, but I also won't complain with a draw from this, just don't lose to keep our good form going.

I am a QPR fan for life, sometimes happily!

All true ranger-boy, although I would add that (for once) the Rs seem to have a better squad - there is more ability in-depth than previous seasons (when the Florists would pull international-level players off the bench and we had....). I am more optimistic about this meeting of the two sides.

Ball replaces Cameron.

Cameron doesn't make the squad.

Neither does Kane, which speaks volumes because the obvious change would have been to play Dickie in the middle, Kakay on the right of the 3 and Kane as wing back. The fact we've gone with Ball at the back and Kane drops out of the squad is a big decision.

As you say, it will be interesting to see whether we have become more defensive or whether we feel more confident for players to be out of position.... Could be:

Dieng
Kakay Dickie Barbet
Johansen Ball Field Wallace
Willock Austin Chair

or equally back to a Back 4 of Kakay Dickie Barbet Wallace and a 4-3-3.....

I like your set up better. The issue we have is that our squad is so thin that when we have a couple of injuries we are trying to put round pegs in square holes to make do.

Looks like we were all wrong - Field is splitting the CBs - a la Cameron, and Kakay & Wallace are slightly deeper than WBs. We are also not adopting an effective high press, so must assume the thinking is more defensive today. Would have been better if any players not up for the game were in midfield (where we have replacements of more quality). Missing de Wijs!

I thought we started poorly then had a good spell but Forest have created the better chances.
