Gallas and Pienaar could return as they have been training this week. Don't expect to see any change in the 1st XI which played last week, probably only Gallas in if he is fit enough. Predicting a 3-0 win and Taarabt throwing his tantrum on the pitch.
Source: Official Site Harry Redknapp has positive team news ahead of Sunday's match against QPR. The manager reports that Steven Pienaar (groin), William Gallas (calf), Sandro (calf) and Ledley King (groin) could all be available to face Rangers in the 4pm kick-off at the Lane. "William is not going to train today, but he’s trained all week and will train again tomorrow," reported Harry on Friday morning. "He hasn’t played a game since last season and we have to see how he is. He could be involved. "Steven is on the way back, which is good. He feels a lot better. "Sandro has had a problem as well. He came on against Arsenal, did great for us, but his calf flared up. He’s had another scan, the scan looks okay, he feels okay and he could be available at the weekend as well. "Ledley is improving. We’ll wait to see how he is tomorrow and you never know with Ledley, but it doesn’t look like he’s too far away." Vedran Corluka (foot), Niko Kranjcar (thigh), Michael Dawson (Achilles) and Tom Huddlestone (ankle) remain sidelined.
that's an excellent news! we don't need to screw this up. just win, and win comfortably with a clean sheet. am I asking a lot? game is on fsc at 9:00 am Pacific. COYS!
Hopefully we can win, QPR haven proven they are not bad side this season and Taarabt will feel he has a point to prove. Good news on the team front however.
Hopefully, Barton gets slugged in the chest while he walks into the stadium by an overly enthusiastic QPR fan who trips while trying to hug him, making all to fall asunder and making him unable to play. Just saying, the thug Barton shouldn't see the pitch, IMO. If were only his off-field behavior that was dismal, I wouldn't care much, though he wouldn't be a favorite. It is that his on-field behavior is consistent with his off-field behavior that makes me wonder how he is able to persist getting contracts with EPL clubs. How come he hasn't found his way to Russia or Qatar to ply his 'trade'?
I don't think they will be able to cope with our firepower. They let in 6 vs. Fulham. 3-1 to us. Please score again Ade, my fantasy team needs it. This game will feature my all-time favourite player nickname, "One Size" Fitz Hall.
Bale! 1-0 Lovely play from Lennon to set that up. We needed that, dominated but always a danger QPR would fluke something and be able to bunker.
A 3rd before halftime and we can really try and up the goal difference in the 2nd half. The workrate has been really good so far, challenging for every 50/50.
not much to complain about there. adebayor perhaps slightly less sharp than you'd hope for at 200k/week ... but since we're only paying around 85k of it ... ... actually, that's alot of money, too. bury one, ade.
Half time, some very nice stuff being played out there. Not much to criticize. We should look to add a third and make the game safe. Not a big fan of the QPR Bucknell kits.
Ade does need to finish better, but his allround play is very good. If QPR get a 2-1 then it can get a bit nervy, so we do need a 3rd to really kill it. With a win today we go to 5th at least, if we win by 4 we go above Newcastle and we need 7 to go above Chelsea.
