helguson on the bench? oh dear! if any goals are going to come, its from set pieces - we need heider!

[Quaz]

those teams could make the 7-0 nightmare come true, just our luck blackburn winning again

[MYU]

The players will give us everything, can't ask for more.

We are in line for Europe due to fair play, what they are saying on QPR Player.

[AgsQPR]

I completely understand the Helguson decision because he needs to be fresh for Monday and in his absence you need someone to hold the ball up i.e. Bothroyd not Campbell. What I can't understand is why you would swap the CB's who looked more solid against Swansea than Conolly and Gabbidon have ever done. Could be a long afternoon.

Kenney out and Bothroyde starts

That would be nice to be honest.

Is this the Europa league on a Thursday?

I'm sorry, but I disagree. We're playing a lone striker who's job is to score goals, not to hold the ball up. I'd have preferred to have seen DJ playing instead.

Are you kidding me? So when you play a lone striker and the ball goes up to him his job isnt to hold the ball up until support reaches him? By playing Campbell up top on his own we lose that outlet because he would have no aerial presence against Mertasacker.

Not looking good I have to agree

the only way we will win today is if the players swap shirts BEFORE the game

And just who do you think is gong to score goals for us this afternoon? I might be wrong, but I don't think Jay will, and our midfielders are hardly goal machines are they?
