Yes another must win game as far as I'm concerned.
We need to pull away from the bottom half of the league.
Forget what Bristol have done during the week.
They have had very little recovery time.
OLLIE needs a good home victory.

Little recovery time
Lots of injuries
We've had this before from opposition and weve still lost
They play some nice football but leave space at the back
Man U were awful and underestimated city
Main thing to watch is set pieces and their big Icelandic player,their main striker didn't look that good to me
We have some nightmare games over Xmas and now we've got that away phobia out of the way we should try and move on from that
Still fear a loss to city though tomorrow

Are we here again debating "must win"? I know what you mean pamment8, that it's an important game and all wins help, but it's not the end of the world should we lose.

There is no way this is must win. The play off final was must win. A last day decider is must win. If we lose tomorrow it doesn't decide the season so it simply isn't "must win".

A point would be very good against a tough team full of confidence.

I agree with Pamment's general view that we need to pick up some wins, especially at home.

But it's hard to call this a must win: Bristol City are on form and full of confidence so we wouldn't expect to win. But we have shown that we can beat anyone at home on our day so why not?

Now that we are getting some of our defenders back from their injuries it would be good to see a settled team. What will be interesting is whether Ollie does play the same team as last week or whether he will make any changes.

Perhaps Sylla may come in for Smith.

Surely the first aim of the club should be to gain enough point's to remain in the division.
Then the next target should be to finish as high as possible.
You won't do that by losing at home.
Am sure the owners are not hoping it goes to the last game of the season.

This is certainly not a 'must win' but Ollie will be acutely aware it is a 'must not lose badly'!

Bristol City are a good side that stand a good chance of being an automatic promotion finisher, and it will be a difficult game. What has to be said though in being positive is that QPR play a lot better against top sides for some reason!

Onto the team. Does Ollie indeed go for the side that started last week or does he bring in the experienced Hall? What about up front? Does Washington really deserve another outing? Will Smith get enough crosses to justify playing him? Perhaps we should play Robinson up front?

I think Bristol City will target our WBs so cover is vital, and that means Luongo and Wzsolek will play in front of them. Anyway, here is my guess:

Smithies
Baptiste Onuoha Robinson Bidwell [Lumley; Hall on bench as sole defender]
Wzsolek Scowen Luongo [Cousins, Wheeler, Chair]
Sylla Freeman Smith [Washington, Mackie?]

ACTUAL

Smithies

Baptiste Onuoha Robinson Bidwell [Lumley; Hall]

Wzsolek Scowen Luongo [Cousins, Wheeler]

Sylla Freeman Osayi-Samuel [Washington, Smith, Oteh]

37 minutes: QPR are ahead, leading 1-0, but whilst the PA gives it to Jack Robinson it looks like an own goal as Aden Flint flicks on Luke Freeman's cross into his own net. Either way QPR lead 1-0!

HT: 1-0 and Possession = 61/39%; 2 shots each and 1 each on target; 2/3 corners & 5/7 fouls. So fairly even on the stats apart from possession (which often counts for little). This is not the expected run of play though as QPR go in ahead at Half Time against what was the team in 3rd place at 15:00 today. Just have to watch out for the first 15 mins after the break... COYRs!

81 minutes: Penalty beats Smithies for once and it is 1-1

FT: It is a draw on 1-1 and that puts us 18th on 26 points, which is 11 points behind the Top 6 and only 7 points off relegation.. but a game I thought we would lose!

Personally it's a decent point and better than a defeat of course. Just a shame not to win after being ahead at home.
