QPR Vs Hull

Its a very important game 
firstly a chance to start the month on a win and get our first home win too
failure to do so in the next few games and fans will start to question this team and at some point the manager has to come under some kind of scrutiny 
we are heading down the table while others like millwall and luton are improving 

Who else is there?

Thanks to George and James for the podcast. It was good to hear George's perspective on the Varane challenge from someone who regularly referees games. We always think we know the rules but sometimes  its great to get an actual explanation from someone who knows the rules.  When watching your own team it can be difficult to remain balanced however, when there's a contentious issue in a QPR game, maybe as part of the podcast we could get George to give us a 'Refs View' . It would certainly help me and maybe even others.

JCS managed to sign his new contract yesterday so I'm presuming he's fit enough to play against Hull. Dembele has to be given the freedom to play in the No. 10 role which means that Madsen can partner Sam in the defensive midfield role.

I'm not expecting to see Chair until the Derby game so I'll go with,

Nardi
Dunne, Cook, JCS, Paal
Field, Madsen
Smyth, Dembele, Saito
Frey

Subs, Walsh, Santos, Ashby, Morgan, EDB, Andersen, Lloyd, Bennie, Celar

I hope Chair's available for both games but I don't believe Marti will play him against Hull because too much might be expected by the fans and the boss may want to ease him back gently. Against Derby Marti can give him a few minutes without the same pressure on Illias to produce his magic. They can then assess whether there's been any reaction. If all is well with Illias after the Derby game then they might try and arrange a behind closed doors game in the International break period to give him even more minutes. 

As fans we're all expecting Illias to come back into the team and start to produce straight away but that's probably not going to happen because he will need to get match fit. I believe Marti will adopt a slowly, slowly approach and want Illias to play his first minutes back from injury away from an over expectant QPR crowd.

Hopefully we can get back on track tonight, and get that important first home win - don't want to get in to another rut of not being able to win on home soil

Well neither Chair or Fox start, as you might expect. Do, it is:
Nardi
Santos Cook Dunne Paal
Madsen Field
Dembele Andersen Saito
Frey

With both Chair & Fox on the bench (at last)

That team looks to have plenty of weak links.
