Moreover, in the week leading up to the game West Ham play bottom side Wolves on Saturday 3rd Jan followed by fourth from bottom Nottingham Forest on Tuesday 6th. As PL survival will be the priority they're likely to field their strongest team for those fixtures and rest players for the cup tie. |

Good point. With finances tight at Leicester and Marti effectively paying half of QPR's compensation figure by foregoing some of the wages and the signing-on fee he was due from Leicester, he may be in a stronger bargaining position than I initially thought. Factor in the prospect of a points deduction looming over the club for alleged PSR breaches, and changing managers suddenly doesn't seem like a good idea. At least not for now. |

Does there have to be a choice? Modern football is a squad game and with so many matches in the Championship we'll need everyone to contribute. |

Interesting that Julien said he pointed that stat out to the team but Jimmy (rightly) refuses to be burdened by the past. |

No offence but I don't deal in ifs and buts, I deal in facts. The fact is that as of today we've won as many if not more games this season than every team in the division bar 3 yet we're 9th. It's the number of defeats that's the difference. Check the table for yourself - it doesn't lie. That's why I'm not downhearted about a draw away following a poor performance. Obviously I would prefer to win the game but if you can't win it, don't lose it. [Post edited 26 Dec 20:06]

Before the match I was looking at the league table and noticed that the only thing that was separating QPR in 8th position from Ipswich in 3rd was 3 draws.
Draws play a part as you're picking up points. As the old adage goes, if you can't win the game, try not to lose it. |

I use Merry as Happy is reserved for New Year (though I'm usually merry on both).
Anyway, a very Merry Christmas to Rs fans everywhere. |

P.S. Having just seen the highlights, I think the match comms, Beeb and I all got it wrong. I think it was Kone. M'Bengue was stood behind him.
EDIT: BBC match report sticking with M'Bengue. However, the official QPR match report states that the ball cannoned off Kone.
Either way, one thing is clear. It definitely wasn't Dembele! [Post edited 26 Dec 17:50]

Settle for that. A point away from home should never be sniffed at. |

That burst from M'Bengue had me dizzy. We appear to have gone back into our shells. Subs haven't had the desired effect. Yet... |

Indeed. I was about to say the same but was worried I'd confused him for somebody else! |

Triple sub. Poku, Smyth and Hayden on for Dembele, Saito and Varane. |
