Loftus Road

Rangers News:
Mancienne may return to action after sitting out Saturday with a back problem. Fitness test today, I guess. Walton, Kanyuka, and Ainsworth are out. Nardiello may start.
The Opponent:
Ian Holloway makes his second trip back to Loftus Road as opposing manager. He has a new book out and did a signing in Hammersmith this week. According to the BBC, "On-loan defender Larrys Mabiala is still out with a knee injury but Lee Hodges, Lilian Nalis, Akos Buzsaky and Peter Halmosi are all available."
The Series:
Plymouth leads 22-4-17. Last season, both games ended up with 1-1 scorelines. In 05/06, Plymouth won their home game while we tied at Loftus Road. In 04/05 and 03/04, each team won the home game. In 02/03, QPR won away and the clubs drew at Loftus Road. Before that, the clubs hadn't met since the 1973/74 League Cup and they hadn't meat in the League since 1967/68 when QPR swept two matches. Another long break before that, as the clubs hadn't met since 1958/59. So, since the 1950's, it's QPR 5 wins, 4 draws, Plymouth 4 wins.
The Referee:
Andre Marriner has been assigned. This season, he's worked 2 Premier League, 1 Championship, and 2 League One games. Last season, he worked two QPR games -- both draws -- 1-1 at Plymouth and 3-3 vs. Norwich. In 05/06, he worked our win at Stoke and our FA Cup loss at Blackburn. In 04/05, he worked our home win against Plymouth and our away loss at Cardiff. His first QPR game was in 03/04 when he worked our 4-1 home win over Hartlepool.
