I would take a draw. I hope we keep it tight at the back.

1-1.

We should win this, if we perform to our best. QPR are a very poor mishmash of players.

I'm looking forward to chants of 'Harry, what's the score?' ringing around the away end.

I don't see QPR losing this one; I'll go for another poor game and a 1-1 draw

Benteke for us, Cisse for them.

Oh and Darren Bent to be spotted selling programmes before the match leading to Lambert answering all questions relating to DB at the post match press conference through the medium of dance...

Are Vlaar and Stevens fit does anyone know? I dread to think what our back 4 will be if not.

Think Bent is tailormade for this game next to Benteke. Fired up and with Sandra could have scored that on the touchline, he will really have a point to prove. Tight shitty pitch there. We will need leaders out there to emerge with 3 points.

My team would be
Guzan
Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Stevens
------Westwood, Bannan
---Ireland------------Holman
-------Bent and Benteke

Chris Herd is an option for this game too

Ireland is useless wide, other wise that's too narrow.

There's definitely a risk that the likes of M'Bia dominate our nippers in midfield. But I struggle to see a better option than bannan and Westwood again. I'd definitely keep the same shape as in recent games. I think the only real choice is which two from weimann, Holman and Ireland.

Could really do with Vlaar and Stevens for this one. I think I've firmed up my view that lichaj is pretty crap, especially at left back. He played well at Newcastle but has been poor apart from that.

Villa win 0-2 or 1-2, QPR has been utter shit for long time and I can't see Redknob doing any miracles this quickly. Our players should get much needed confidence from Arsenal draw and Reading win.

Bennett could be back for this, hope he is.

------------------Guzan------------------
-Lowton---Vlaar----Clark---Bennett-
----------Herd---Westwood-----------
------------------Bannan----------------
--------Ireland-----------Gabby--------
-----------------Benteke----------------

Bit of extra bite in there for what is likely to be a bit of a gritty game, Ireland and Gabby playing off Benteke, Lowton and Bennett playing wing back roles, covered by the midfield.

Honestly, I wouldn't have a clue what team to play in this game - I've got three players in here who probably won't even be available.

Not the best time to be playing them with it being old jellyface's first home game . Can see them getting their first win of the season if i am honest but i will go for a hard earned 1-1

They'll be thinking they could have done without us turning the corner in the last couple of games, and they haven't beaten anyone this season.

I know who's shoes I'd rather be in.
