QPR v Boro 1-1 (Akpom)

[Brunners 2,184]

Hugill isn't there to score an unlikely worldie this time, so there's that.

If we play like we did vs Bournemouth I think we can get something here. The big question still is whether we can start turning our efforts into actual chances & ultimately goals.

[Red Rocket 206]

We've definitely been playing better than I expected us to, if we carry that forward I think we might be able to get those elusive three points. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that we need to start taking our chances, but I'm sure NW has something in mind to fix it. I'm going to go for an optimistic 2-1.

[TeaCider24 1,249]

No surprise, but Warnock won't be taking charge of this match either.

[TLF10 951]

Good to see he back at Rockcliffe though. Should be back to normal next Saturday all being well

[Brunners 2,184]

Ash Fletcher is fit too, thankfully. so full squad tomorrow it sounds like. With Akpom (likely) on the bench, we are starting to sort of see options to change things and not just have a bench full of teenagers.

Score Predictions?

QPR 1 - 2 Boro (don't ask me why - I've no idea)

Lineup?

I get the feeling Jepson will go for continuity, with it being early in the season and the lads putting in a decent performance last time out. 

Will Chuba Akpom make his debut, scoring his first of many hat-tricks for the club?

Reckon he'll be on the bench, in case things aren't working out and we need some new (hat) tricks to bamboozle QPR with.

Will Leo appear out of nowhere mid-match, storm onto the pitch and headbutt the ref?

Er...okayyy...you have some interesting dreams.

Who are the better Rangers?

Queen's Park?

US Army?

Hermione (G)Ranger?

None of the above...

 

On a more serious note, it won't be easy. QPR are a decent team, but I think (and hope) we can just squeak a win from this one.

Score 

2-0 Boro  (more hope than everything else  but it has to click sometime surely 🤷‍♂️

Lineup?

 Same as the Bournemouth game

Will Chuba Akpom make his debut, scoring his first of many hat-tricks for the club?

Reckon he'll be on the bench

Will Leo appear out of nowhere mid-match, storm onto the pitch and headbutt the ref?

Depends on who the ref is

Who are the better Rangers?

Queen's Park?

US Army?

Hermione (G)Ranger?

cant believe you forgot Park Ranger Smith

 

[Rioch's Braves 312]

I'm going for a 2-1 win and our march towards the PL starts 😁

[Denzel Zanzibar 1,211]

You know, I was going to include Park Ranger Smith, but I thought it might be a bit obscure. Judging by the comments, obviously not.

[BoroAbroad 154]

Early days I know but I am not convinced we are capable of scoring. Whereas QPR do not seem to have the same issues.

However. Boro do tend to suprise.

I think it will be a tight game. We need a win under our belts to spur us on and hopefully we will get one here. Heart says 2-0 Boro.

However. Head says 2 - 1 QPR. (As they are averaging 2 goals a game atm.)

Would like to see Akpom get some game time but think it will depend on whether Fletch is fit. And how the game is going.

We certainly could do with getting as many points as possible under our belts before injuries deplete the squad further.

UTB.

Looking forward to this game, we have a very mixed bag of results at QPR over recent years and as long as we do not have a Dibble day we should be ok

[SmogDane 1,300]

Same team, but as others have mentioned, Chuba for Fletcher, as Fletch picked up a knock .. 

We will win this, I reckon 

[Denzel Zanzibar 1,211]

If Bettinelli pulls off another worldy like he did against Bournemouth we'll be fine.

Look at that, top bins that is.

[OldManGravz 286]

2-0 I reckon. I'm feeling confident
