I asked the Samba question a few weeks ago to no avail - where the fuck is he??

As far away as bloody possible hopefully

QPR’s main weapon is 6’8” Matt Smith, which makes me think we should start Jedinak rather than Barney.

But he is shit.

Indeed. Doesn't even make my Top 10 Doctor Who.

QPR nil would be a good start, any type of Villa win please.

sadly due to work I cannot make it

For us to lose or misplace something that big is quite an achievement.

1-1

[footyskillz]

So having looked at form and fixtures they have had last 3 matches all at home

Home win     1:0   Sunderland
Home draw   1:1   Derby County   
Home loss   2:5   Nottingham Forest      

There last few away matches have all been losses to the then top 6 teams
Conceded 2 goals each time

Sheffield U 2:1
Wolves 2-1
Bristol City 2:0

However they haven't conceded more than 2 goals away  since early  November.
That said have near relegation form away from home having the 21st worst away record.
Only have 2 wins in 17 away matches.
Scored 14 goals conceded 27.

It's their away form that has outdone them this season and seen them struggle as overall home form is near play off level (being 7th best)

Qpr need a few more points to be safe of relegation and that they take 2nd most shots in the league average 14.1

Luke freeman has assisted 11 goals (2nd only to snoddy)  so I think these factors will show qpr up for the match and to attack for a goal.

They shown they can score recently against wolves and Sheff U.

 So stats point to a 2-1 win.

I think it ll be 2 goal margin 2-0 or 3-1.

Same levels and atmosphere  as against wolves then would be 5 or 6-1.

Can we expect Terry and Jedinak to play 2 games in 72 hours?  This is a game we could make a couple of changes to keep everyone fresh

What on earth has happened to Samba / Green - it is like they have been kidnapped

Green is injured.

I'd also like to add Qpr are away to a Fulham on Saturday early afternoon 1230 and they would hope to target a great performance and try and all out win that derby match.

So let's also hope this could be a factor in efforts at villa park.  And then after wanting to beat them we like them to do us a favor on Saturday so maybe a massive beating could spark a reaction for them!

Anyway let's of course get this out the way the cheer on Matt Smith, Luke Freeman on Saturday v Fulham .

Ian Holloway from villain to hero. In less than a week. We all call him a beautiful man then.

But he is shit.

Far more effective at Loftus Road this season.

[Lastfootstamper]

Are some people on here seriously suggesting that we, we should change our line-up to compensate for some non-threatening lanky nobody from QPfuckingR? Get a grip. Jeez.

(although I wouldn't play Jedinak for the full 90. Start him, get Bjarnason on as soon as comfortable. We need to manage Jedinak; the more games he starts, the better.)

[VancouverLion]

2-0 Grabban x 2

On to the next one, UTV!

[JUAN PABLO]

I’d expect a flat atmosphere and a struggle to gee ourselves up for the game

Although I think the original game was heading for a big attendance so maybe a good chunk of people have retained their tickets

Not sure if we’ve any fresh injuries? Adomah maybe?

I’d probably bring in Bjarnason for Jedinak.

Jack should be too good for them

Albert told me he was fit on Sunday

so 4-0 Villa

[l_mckay]

They are going to park the bus.a 1-0 villa win
