samo II Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Would take a draw today - might sound a bit low key, but we are stretched paper-thin just now, and with another game in just a few days, staying unbeaten and maintaining momentum is key until players are back to fitness/we can get in reinforcements.

Agreed. Part of me thinks we might get turned over here and bump massively back down to earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Yeah lets not underestimate anyone, as soon as you start doing that you'll get turned over. QPR are a good side and play some very good stuff (sometimes). Will go a long way to proving we're the real deal if we can win today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draw today as long as it's a win on boxing day absolutely true. Funny how we play the Reading clones today, and the QPR clones on the 26th :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted December 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 On the other hand, the players are pumped up and full of confidence and we have no fresh injuries arising from the Manure game. Hopefully the adrenaline is still pumping and will be enough to win us the game. The eyes of the world are on us now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Yep, a potentially very difficult game today. Especially as QPR didn't play Weds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lympsham Red Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Every game is a tough game. No matter how talented our squad is, how great the team spirit is, how much effort they all put in - this is the Championship, every game is tough, every game is a potential win, but also loss and draw, not least when we've got a very light squad that gave 125% on Wednesday. And do not underestimate QPR's motivation to get out of that bottom end of the table. We can win today, we have the quality, and that should be the aim - but it won't be easy.

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Fielding Wright Baker Flint Mags Brownhill Smith Pack Elliason Woodrow Taylor having a team that can keep our high tempo is more important than quality imo. Depending on how things are going Bryan, Reid and Leko could be impact subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go with same side again (bar Frankie back in goal) then just hope LJ has not been tempted to pick anyone not 100% fit and raring to go. If we have one or two leg weary players picked we will get found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m with you, sure this will be a harder team to pick for Johnson then Wednesday no doubt players will still be feeling Wednesday performance, considering the way we play.

Could see some rotation there. Problem being we don’t have any more CM’s. I do agree with you though, with our style it’s better to have energy over quality. Especially away from home, this will be the type of game where we rely on our strikers finishing as our midfield will do extremely well to get in behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We obviously rate him, be interesting to see if he gets more game time over the rest of the season, what with the density of upcoming matches.
