I expect Brum to come hard at us right from the start. They now we are fragile after Tuesday. First goal may well be huge. Can't help but think though that this may come down to the officials - again. Keith Stroud is the ref and the lino is the one that disallowed the Charile Austin 'goal'. I shall be there....but it won't be a comfortable watch.

I honestly don't believe there are "Anti-QPR" Refs out there. So if the Ref is not so great; he's not so great for both sides (on balance)
As always; we'll need some luck and some confidence. Will be interesting to see if Ainsworth makes any team changes - with all those injuries, probably limited choices) Could drop Dieng - if Archer was better. or change in tactics. But just don't see how couple of days of coaching/practices will change/stop players from making mistakes
Crucial game today for us. Win and we're (Defacto) Safe. (Which is what I said after Watford game!)

(Which is what I said after Watford game!) Yeah, don't disagree with that, it is just when you have the worst ref in the league, he is likely to make a decision that will determine the outcome of the game - one way or the other. When Stroud adjudicates, you notice the ref, more than some of the players, he makes it about him. The awarding of cards, yellow and red, key free kicks, pens etc. leave you talking about him. I don't think we got much from the ref on Tuesday, the penalty was 'brave' , but we did not get slaughtered because of the ref though.

I will hope we get a point minimum and Blackpool don’t get more than a point so we keep our 7 pts lead with 8 games and more players coming back after international break. However I’m very nervous the lift Blackpool got and think they might get back to wins and if we lose 4 pts would be a nightmare. Hope I’m very wrong Good luck Rangers, don’t put in a dire performance like Tuesday though

Well here we go again, same old fighting for survival. Need a complete clear out next season from the top down.

Shockingly bad half, no shot on target at home. We can only pray other teams keep losing we are fodder
Even when we get a few players back I fully expect us to to go to Wigan and then Wigan beat us.
Thankfully Blackpool just went 2-1 down and Wigan 1 down that’s the best thing about the first half. Today I’m supporting Millwall

The whole board needs to be cleared out, especially LF and his cronies.

Shocking week , no points from Blackpool and Birmingham even with a new Manager. New Manager 3 points from 15
NW getting a win at Millwall, doing what he does best , Hudds gained 4 points on us this week, just six behind with 8 matches left. I think if we lose at Wigan we will drop. If Hudds win four if they’re last 8 , can you see us winning two games, I can’t see us beating anyone really.
Thank heavens Blackpool lost , that I was surprised about. Lost to Rotherham Blackpool and Birmingham all the dross around us.
Wigan with 2 draws relishing 3 points , just give them to them today.

Pretty desperate stuff. Albert had to do a 90 minute shift, ending up in the back 3 , preferred to Dickie at the end today. I think that there must be a starting clause in Lowe's loan deal - he offered nothing again -Armstrong only on for about 15 minutes yet the most impressive. Albert missed his tackle for the goal - we had started brightly - first Brum attack and one down. Then the Brum plan was to fall down in our half for a set piece. I actually thought Stroud did well with his bookings for time wasting and it was added on. But, another tough day at the office.

The only thing that will save us is if the 3 teams at the bottom don’t get to 42 points, because this lot genuinely don’t look like ever getting another single point if you played from now to Armageddon. I genuinely can’t believe one single team in this division is actually worse than this monstrosity of a club, so how on earth three of them won’t overtake us is beyond my comprehension.

47-48 points for safety since the Watford win seems an affinity away for us lot. One things for sure,this time in 2 weeks we will be 5 points from the bottom three not taking into account Blackpools or Huddersfield result.
Whether we stay up or go down we need a clear out top to bottom.
