Denzel Zanzibar 6,971 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Middlesbrough v QPR Wednesday 18th August, 2021 Riverside Stadium KO 19:45 The last time QPR came to the Riverside, the pandemic was still in full swing and the game was played in an empty stadium. As far as I remember it was quite a dull game, not much happened... ....oh. Yeah, that was the game where QPR took a 2-0 lead, we pulled one back then their first choice keeper was sent off and their reserve goalie played an absolute blinder to deny us two goals. A fact not lost on Neil Warnock, who immediately went "I'll have some of that!" and signed him as our new #1. Just like Boro, QPR have won one and drawn one in the league so far, and sit with us joint top on 4 points. Fans are well and truly back though, which could be the difference maker here. Talking points: Predicted lineup? Is Payero destined to be an impact sub under Warnock, or will he start a game soon? Who *is* the mystery striker? Pineapple on pizza, yes or no? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,635 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I absolutely loved the Bristol City match, so I'm devastated that I tested positive for Covid when I got home, though thankfully there was nobody sat immediately near me except who I went with. Means I'm missing this match, but I think I can watch it on the club website given it's a midweek league match? Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure UK & Ireland can watch midweek games. Sucks you got COVID though mate, hope you're alright. I haven't done a test yet but I'm double vaxxed and haven't had any symptoms. Have you felt it yet or did you just do a test after the match as a precaution? Link to post Share on other sites

Smogzilla 7,482 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Think this will be a tough one. QPR have gone under the radar a little bit but they're dark horses for promotion with the squad they've assembled (in my opinion). I think if we were to win here it's a result that will look very good come the end of the season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bit of a sore throat and a runny nose on Thursday, tested negative so I assumed I just had a cold, was mostly back to normal by Saturday but started to feel a bit hot as the day went on and had plans to go round my mate's on the night, so I did another test just as a precaution as soon as I was back from match and that showed up positive. Did a PCR test yesterday and that came back positive too, so I'm isolating. I'm double jabbed too, though I only got my 2nd last Monday, I'm very glad to have had the vaccine considering I feel mostly fine. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Hope you feel better soon mate. Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, I live with my partner, who is obviously also isolating, and she doesn't have her second jab till the 24th, really hope I don't infect her before my body has battered the virus. She'd be waiting another month at least, which would be a bummer. Link to post Share on other sites
