QPR v Hull | Match Thread

I have no idea what to expect at FT.

[72bus]

Agreed anything could happen

RND has had a nice holiday and training camp in the alps and doubt he'll get any minutes under his belt. I don't think Jimmy got any minutes, but is probably nursing a hangover from the RoI exploits and Sat might feel like a come down. I have no idea whether Smyth, Varane, Burell, Haydon or Kone got any minutes or where they've travelled to?

On past experience, everything seems to suggest it will be a laboured performance from the Rs. Hopefully the Hull squad have players who've been on their travels too. I guess a draw would be a decent result, even though we need a win.

Hopefully the manager has spent the time actually working out what his regular starting 11 is. The constant tinkering has definitely played a part in our recent poor form.

Yes. This weekend feels weird, almost like first game of season when you really don't know what to expect. I suppose it's down to our inconsistency, a manager who has chopped and changed too much and a two week break every effing month.

Best part will be finding out who has got injured despite supposedly having a rest. My money's on Cook or Morrison.

Surely he’s got to pick the same side that got us the point away to the Blades? Back 4 looked solid, more compact and better going forward switching Mbengue to RB and Dunne to CH. Obviously Hamer in net was also a massive positive on Nardi not being able to command his area. So for me, at least I hope he sticks to the same back 4 with Hamer in goal.

If as all mangers do after an international break, he won’t start Hayden , Kone Burrell , smyth and maybe dunne

[72bus]

He's asking for trouble if he drops kone , burrell and dunne , they are athletes and shouldn't have any trouble playing Saturday , the fastest dunne ran this week was chasing the remarkable Troy Parrott

[Abseits]

I dunno if they're still on the scene but didn't we have some tech-bro sports science mob doing consultancy for us fairly recently? They had metrics and analysis that allegedly could calculate when a player was likely to breakdown with injury due to overdoing it. Sounds like cobblers to me but I can imagine Nourry lapping it up and leaning on the manager to pay heed to their findings.... I'm guessing their data will suggest that anyone who played/travelled during this break should be rested.

Poku and JCS are both available

Would take a point now. Concede early and could be a difficult afternoon. Start fast - please.....not the gentle introduction that we invariably give the opposition.

It’s not Saturday yet !

As someone who’s seen loads of Poku for pboro he will make a huge difference to the side, jcs has the ability of a mid lower prem defender just can’t stay fit enough for a run of games

not a must win Saturday but could do with a win to get us going again not a bad performance at Sheffield Utd but never really looked like getting the win

Has JCS played 90 mins during his rehab?

[cross it Dave]

We need Koki Saito back sharpish.

[LoftusRoadLad]

We need a win......can't remember what it feels like
