Among the QPR encounters re Sheff Wed I saw was that 8-2 League Cup Victory in 1973. (Actually not a very good game, despite the score)

Yorkshire Post Irvine prepares for 'massive' weekend as Owls talks progress 02 April 2010 By Ian Appleyard SHEFFIELD Wednesday have moved a step closer to major new investment ahead of two games over Easter that could help ensure the club's Championship survival. John Prutch, managing partner of the Chicago-based investment firm Club 9 Sports, has spent the last week in Sheffield meeting officials, stakeholders and representatives of the club's major creditors, the Co-Operative Bank. Sources say the meetings ADVERTISEMENThave been 'very positive'. Prutch has already made it clear that the deal does not hinge on results over the final six games of the season. However, manager Alan Irvine insists the Owls are on course to stay up. Victories over Queens Park Rangers tomorrow and Bristol City on Monday could, potentially, lift the Owls eight points clear of the relegation zone with only four more games to play. Irvine describes this weekend as 'massive' in terms of the club's future but says the pressure on his players will not go away until the Owls are mathematically safe. "It is a massive weekend, no question about it," said Irvine. "There is a lot of pressure on us – as there is on many teams – and I have felt there has been pressure in every game. Only a handful of clubs are now thinking they are not going up or down and we don't fall into that category. "We are not going to be safe or relegated after these next two games but they will certainly have a bearing," he added. "We needed to win 11 games out of 23 when I took over, which is really good form in this division, and the lads are on course to get that ratio." With former Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock now in charge at Loftus Road, tomorrow's fixture will have an added edge. After winning his first two games, Warnock set his sights on a play-off push but a subsequent run of five games without a victory has dragged the London club into a relegation scrap. Irvine last night risked the wrath of Owls supporters by revealing that he likes Warnock who, for many years, was regarded as Public Enemy No 1 at Hillsborough. During his time as manager of arch-rivals United, Warnock repeatedly made jibes about the Owls and famously danced on the Hillsborough turf after winning his first Sheffield derby. "I don't know how well this will go down with everybody but I actually get on quite well with Neil," Irvine admitted. "I can only speak as I find and I find him a proper football man. He obviously has a great deal of passion but I have never had any problems being in the opposite dug-out." The Owls will be boosted tomorrow by the return of both winger Jermaine Johnson and defender Lewis Buxton after hamstring injuries. Jamaican international Johnson has missed the last three games while full-back Buxton has been unavailable since the end of January. Only midfielders Tommy Miller and Sean McAllister are now sidelined for the Owls who have a squad of 22 senior professionals. www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/Irvine-prepares-for-39massive39-weekend.6200314.jp |

Serbian left-back Dusko Tosic may make his Rangers debut following his recent move to the club. Sheffield Wednesday are expected to welcome Jermaine Johnson and Lewis Buxton back into their squad. Winger Johnson has missed the last three matches with a hamstring strain, while defender Buxton has been out since January with a similar problem. MATCH PREVIEW QPR boss Neil Warnock gets the chance to get one over his boyhood club's Sheffield rivals and do his former club Crystal Palace a huge favour. Warnock has few friends among the Wednesday faithful after his six-and-a-half-year spell as manager of Sheffield United - the team he has always supported. He is also deeply unpopular with some Palace fans after leaving the troubled south London club to take over at Rangers exactly a month ago. But an R's victory would be good news for the Eagles, who will climb out of the relegation zone and above Wednesday if they beat Middlesbrough and the Owls fail to win at Loftus Road. MATCH FACTS Head-to-head • QPR are chasing a third successive league win over Wednesday, having won the last two 3-2 and 2-1. 606: DEBATE Have your say on this match • The Owls have not won at Loftus Road since October 2000. Queens Park Rangers • QPR have drawn their last three league matches and are without a win in five. • Rangers have kept only four clean sheets all season (and won all four matches). • More penalties have been converted in Championship matches involving QPR this season than any other club. They have scored five and conceded seven. Sheffield Wednesday • Wednesday have not lost in five matches (W1, D4) and have drawn their last three away games. • They have not won in seven away fixtures, picking up only three points out of 21 since a 2-1 victory at Blackpool on 19 January. • On-loan forward Luke Varney is one goal short of 50 in his league career. MOST RECENT MEETING Sheff Wed 1-2 QPR (Saturday, 7 November 2009) Wednesday scorer: Johnson 13. QPR scorers: Simpson 10, Gorkss 82. news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_1/8594945.stm |

Dusko Tosic made to wait for QPR debut

QPR’S newest defender reminds his boss of former Everton stalwart David Unsworth.
But there will be no place in the first team for Serbian international Dusko Tosic until loan keeper Carl Ikeme goes back to Wolves next week.
Boss Neil Warnock reckons there will still be plenty of time to run the rule over the defender, who is the one Ranger headed for the World Cup this summer.
He said: "In the same way that David was compact, solid and dependable when he was at his peak in the 90s, it looks as if Dusko might have the same qualities.
"But the loan limitation kicks in as everybody knows, and it’s only when Carl goes back can we have room for another loanee."
Tosic played the entire reserve outing at Fulham on Wednesday to claim a 2-2 draw courtesy of goals from Josh Parker and Angelo Balanta.
Coach Keith Ryan told the QPR website: "Dusko got 90 minutes under his belt and showed what a good player he is and all in all, it was a thoroughly worthwhile exercise."
