The single most important thing about the QPR game is that the players and fans believe from the outset. If we have a repeat of the sort of tentative performance we've seen all too often, it's going to be horrible.

Guzan - Bacuna Okore Clark Baker - Cleverley, Sanchesz, Delph- N'Zogbia - Gabby, Benteke

Aye we need to start the game in the same manner as West Brom if possible.

The thing with QPR is I watched them a few weeks back at Palace and they were ripped apart by pace, Zaha, Bolaise and Puncheon tore them to shreds on the break so you have to think we will create chances against them.

West Brom are probably the slowest team in the league 1 to 11 so they were probably good opponents for QPR today.

I'd agree on that. It's also something we struggle against which is why we've struggled in the last two games, having played West Brom (as you say, the slowest) and Sunderland (probably pushing West Brom close for that honour).

QPR also struggle as much as anyone to put any sort of run together. I don't think they'll beat us. For ourselves 3 points opens up the gap again. I don't think a point does enough for us. We win and I don't think QPR can catch us.

We cannot assume that it's Tuesday or bust.  Important yes but we need to relax.  I am only coming at this from the point of view of really strange results at this time of the season.  After all no one saw QPR beating west brazil 4-1.  You just cannot tell what is going to happen.

From what sherwood was saying earlier Westwood and Sinclair won't make it for Tuesday

Both big blows. We are always better with Westwood in than not, and Sinclair gives us that outlet.

I really hope Weimann is out and Gil is in if Sinclair doesn't make it.

Weimann is a waste of a jersey. Sanchez is the equivalent of a 0-1 start in his position.
Full back issues aswell.
Time has caught up on the Lerner years.

This the Westwood that we have a significantly higher chance of winning with than without. He does the things you don't notice well.

Hutton being out is a blow too, I would imagine Lowton and Bacuna at full back, but I would bring Vlaar back in for Okore in this one, or maybe even for Clark as Austin will manhandle him I fear.

As for the time catching up, we have a genuinely woeful injury list that no side would cope well with at the moment. At least Cleverley will come back into the middle well rested.

After today, can you really see us getting out of the two other away games this month?  That makes getting something form the game on Tuesday absolutely vital.

Austin shat all over Vlaar I seem to remember for their first goal at QPR.  Don't think Clark played well either mind.

I've no idea - I could see us getting soundly beaten in both bit I could also see us getting a point or two.  I can see us winning at least two of our last 7 games which I think will be enough.  Just.

I think if we're in the bottom three on Wednesday morning we'll probably go down. Now hopefully that won't happen as three other teams will need to win and we'll be playing one of them.

Beat QPR and take the momentum to Spurs for a 2-2 draw there .

A win on Tuesday doesn't see us safe, nor will it relegate us. They'll still be loads of twists and turns in these fixtures yet. A win will obviously help us enormously though.

Yeah Spur's CL push is just about dead so I am hopeing that we will be able to nick something there.  Also, don't we still have Everton to play?  They don't really have anything left to play for so I think we should target that to try and win.  I really don't want to go into that final game against Burnley needing a result...

Whilst we're not quite at must-win time yet. Beating Rangers opens up a gap I don't think they could close on us in 6 games.  I would be confident that we'd at least have them and Leicester below us at that point.
