QPR v Reading 7Oct22 2-1 FT 1st/24pts

I sense that Reading have been punching above their weight and most victories have been against lesser teams or good teams out of form.

They too will be tired and let's see how they get on at home to Norwich

Well, those wins against Bristol City and Sheffield Utd put us in 4th place on 21 points. Not bad for what was expected to be a tough period of games. We now face Reading who managed to draw with Norwich at home when we were beating the Blades (that does sound good). A few injury worries sadly, such as Willock, Balogun and Dieng, so let's hope they are not serious injuries. I am away for this one on a mini-break but I am hoping to see it live still, as I reckon this will be a great game to watch. My guess at the Starting XI:

Archer
Laird Dickie Dunne JCS Paal
 Tim Field Johansen
Dykes Chair

No news on Willock and Dieng yet but we have to assume that Willock will miss at least this match

The team should be full of confidence regardless and lets hope we get 3 wins in a row for the first time since January. As has been discussed in the Sheffield United thread we have lots of options now and a really good squad to choose from. Players who come in will need to perform and take their opportunities.

Here is this weeks QPR Preview Show ahead of the Reading match from myself and daveb - it was hard to keep this one short as we were (are) still buzzing!

After getting 3 points from Sheffeild United at Bramall Lane we now find that our match against Reading will be refereed by Thomas Bramall, from Sheffield.

There has been no news from the club about the injuries suffered by Willock and Dieng although it seems likely that they will both miss the Reading game plus a few more. The new injuries that both have sustained are on the opposite leg to the ones they injured last season when we imploded and plummeted down the league.

Its going to be a huge set back losing Willock and Dieng but I'd suggest this season we are stronger defensively and that Mick Beale is a much more tactically astute manager than Warburton so I've convinced myself that we should remain positive. 

I'd like to believe that we can push on with all our confidence from the week and get a result, but this is QPR. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if we dropped points in the so-called 'easier' game of the 3 this week!

Gutted for Willock and for the club! He will be sorely missed in a year that should have seen him showcased as a talent for the PL.... 

Well, well, well... Dieng plays!

That's some great news
