Southampton come to town as the best unbeaten side in the country... 14 games without defeat.

Not ideal opposition for a QPR side who only picked up 1 point against Plymouth and Sheffield Wednesday.

Expectations are probably low for this one but can QPR spring a surprise and play like we did a few weeks ago?

Will Cook start?

Is Colback fit again?

This weeks QPR Preview Show looks ahead to all the festive fixtures and we look back at some of the highs and lows of 2023. Thanks to everybody who has watched us this year.

Despite having tried to blank a lot of those games like Fleetwood and Blackburn out of my memory it was another great podcast.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you guys, your families and everybody who is part of the Hoops and Dreams site.🎅🍻

That will have them very nervous about going up automatically now.

As for QPR...

Cook isn't in the squad. That is a concern.

Dykes and Willock replace Smyth and Armstrong.

Looks like we are hoping to control the ball a bit more with both EDB and Dozzell starting.

We line up:

Begovic
Cannon Dunne JCS Paal
Field EDB
Willock Dozzell Chair
Dykes

Smyth and Armstrong at least offer a lot of pace off the bench but I would have liked to see one start.

As well as no Steve Cook, there is no Jack Colback either which is a real concern when we will be fighting to gain possession. It looks as if we are sacrificing the wings to strengthen the centre. Fingers crossed!

Agreed, Colback would have been good here scrapping away in the middle.

Looks like we want to force them out wide like you say and we want to keep better control of the ball when we do have it.

If we can stay in the game we do have a threat and pace to bring off the bench and attack more late on. Can we manage that though?

Unfortunately the ball goes just over the bar with the goalie scrambling to get back.

13 mins gone and both sides going for it, with Southampton on top. However, Chair has just launched an audacious chip from the halfway line and their goalie (who should have known better by now) just managed to scramble back as the ball hit the netting!

29mins and Chair is even managing (somehow) to pass to himself along the left line before shooting on target!
