Downsouth 6,175 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Know it is early doors into the season but do many of you class this game as a "must win" at all? I do to a greater degree due to the fact that our home form so badly let us down from January onwards and I would like to see a reversal on home form Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously, its a game we'd very much like to win though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You have to be realistic at times but also, the Championship isn't really chock-full of quality sides and using home advantage to get points on the board early doors would be good for us. 2 more home games against okay sides and 1 away game at the relegation favourites... you'd be hoping for quite a few more points right now even with our squad as it is today.

Know what you mean but QPR are one of those teams who will always be close to us point and place wise so I see them as a rival to our improvement moving ahead. Going to be a good game I believe for a neutral and certainly one with goals Link to post Share on other sites

Nor should you and neither will I. However you have to remember that I have to ensure that we average over 500 posts per match day thread so am prepared to ask any old dribble to do just that, ask @Blanco he will concur😄 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,365 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 This is certainly not a must win as others have said. We’ve still got plenty of signings to come back/in and this isn’t our strongest side. Hoping Jones can continue his brilliant form tonight, get the ball to him as often as possible Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Should be a good test this. QPR seem to have started really brightly! Hope to see some good stuff played tonight and another game to remember from Izzy Jones. Link to post Share on other sites

However the smell of whisky, weed and Guiness makes me feel very queezy😝 1 Link to post Share on other sites
