Thought I would start this thread as we have some good news: Leeds have their CB captain out injured it seems. Whilst I feel sorry for him, any weakening of their squad is a bonus for us! From Football League World:

Leeds United have still not discovered the extent of Liam Cooper’s injury, although Marcelo Bielsa is preparing to do without his skipper for Saturday’s game against QPR.
The centre-back was forced off just 20 minutes into the game at Bramall Lane last weekend after injuring his knee.
Worryingly for the Whites, nobody was near Cooper as he fell to the floor and he hobbled off looking in some serious pain.
After the game, Bielsa confirmed that the defender had suffered an ‘important’ injury. In Cooper’s absence, Bielsa is likely to turn to youngster Aapo Halme. The Finland U21 international came on against Sheffield United and did very well as the visitors kept a clean sheet in a 1-0 win.

and further good news for the RB position apparently...

confirmed that Stuart Dallas is set to be ruled out for 4-6 weeks with a fractured foot.

Out of interest, there is speculation that the list of injuries are related to the hard training regime currently in operation. Sounds reminiscent of JFH's reign at LR.
Now we just need a flu epidemic or stomach bug amongst the strikers....

Set the alarm off at the hotel the night before and we're laughing (lol)
I personally think it doesn't make much difference if they have injuries,they are still a good team and at elland road a tough place to go anyway
We can beat anyone on our day as we've shown

I want us to make some changes for this game. We have kept pretty much the same team for 3 games without winning (the only change being Cameron coming in for Cousins after Stoke)

Luongo was good against Stoke but poor in the last 2 matches. Scowen or Cousins could perhaps come in to stake a place.

If Grant Hall is allowed out of the house then surely he is worth a shot over Lynch given we've conceded at least 2 in every game for the past month. What's the worst that can happen? We concede 3 again!

Osayi-Samuel looked keen and set up a goal in his cameo so could he come in for Wszolek?

Do agree with your comments (minus Luongo who I think is doing better than the cameras show) but are we going there to win or not to lose? Singlespeed and I have discussed a 'parking the bus' approach elsewhere on this excellent forum; and this team now has the character to grind out a draw at least by defending well. I fear that if we try to outplay Leeds we will get thumped... As I said previously, replace both Freeman & Wszolek, with O-Samuel and Hall; and then push Luongo up higher (his preferred role) behind Wells & Hemed (no Eze). Set ourselves up for a draw or breakaway goal!

Referee has been announced and it is one who has had a mixed bag of games involving us recently:

Just a month after awarding a controversial late penalty in our game at Blackburn, Peter Bankes is back in charge of Rangers on Saturday at Leeds.

Referee >>> Peter Bankes (Merseyside), two QPR appointments and two defeats so far this season.

Well we are better prepared now, better manned and playing better. We are still up against it, but we are in a position to play good football if we get a steady start (and an early goal would be even better). Above all, remember this is the Championship - so anything could happen!

btw Grant Hall is having a late fitness check after getting a training injury, so he could still be made available alongside Cameron or instead of Lynch......

Leeds' fans will be expecting a win tomorrow.

So if we can get ahead and make them nervous that is our best chance.

I know we always say 'in football you never know' but I think we all know QPR well enough that if we concede early, away from home, against high flying Leeds, that does not bode well!

Surprised he has gone with the same team that looked so jaded last week. Maybe not having a mid week game will see a more improved performance.

He is kinder than me then....

Nearly 20 mins and averaging 29% possession only. On the plus side, Leeds have not had a shot on target yet.

BREAKING NEWS!!! 26 mins and Nakhi Wells scores - 0-1

Nahki Wells (Queens Park Rangers) left footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner. Assisted by Angel Rangel
