It is that time of year again to look back and laugh about how wrong we were

Let's see who actually got something correct... 5 points for each correct answer...QPR's finishing position is a tie-breaker with players losing points for how far out they were...

1) How many goals will Lyndon Dykes score this season? 7

Well done to ranger-boy who got 7 goals for Dykes. Next closest were singlespeed and Rosco Bosco with 8

2) Who will make the most appearances for QPR this season? Begovic/Paal (46)

Everybody bar daveb and jimjams got Asmir Begovic

3) Who will be the QPR player of the year? Steve Cook

Nobody could get this because Cook signed after the first game of the season!

4) What position will QPR finish in? 18th

Well done to LurkR and daveb who predicted our 18th placed finish. The prediction widest of the mark was from NoahHoop who went for 11th

5) Who will win:
.....A) The Premier League? Man City
.....B) The Championship? Leicester

Everybody went for Man City bar daveb and jimjams who both weren't far off with Arsenal.

Leicester were a popular pick too, a few weren't far off with Leeds and Southampton but Rosco Bosco's prediction of Sunderland was not his finest hour!

6) Which 3 teams will get relegated from the Championship? Rotherham / Huddersfield / Birmingham

Nobody got all 3 whilst only ranger-boy and kingfisher failed to predict a relegated side. stoatey and kingfisher predicted Ipswich - ouch! We had a lot of predictions for Cardiff too who were untroubled all season

7) How many clean sheets will QPR keep this season (league only)? 13

Nobody had 13 - NoahHoop and LurkR were closest 1 away. Some had as low as 4!

8) Which QPR player will pick up the most bookings? Colback

Well done to jrperry1882, jimjams, singlespeed, kingfisher, NoahHoop, CutePR and LurkR who predicted Colback would be on a mission to get booked every time he was on the pitch

9) The Sack Race... Which team will sack their manager first from:
.....A) The Premier League? Wolves / Nottingham Forest (points given for either as Wolves parted ways before the season started then Forest were the first sacking during the season)
.....B) The Championship? Huddersfield

jrperry1882, kingfisher, daveb, SydneyR and jimjams had Forest and Rosco had Wolves... but nobody predicted Neil Warnock would be first out the door in The Championship

10) How many cup matches will QPR win (League Cup and FA Cup combined)? Zero

We of course won no cup matches and it is those 5 points for jrperry1882 that help him pip LurkR and SydneyR to win Place Your Bets for 2023/24!
