Not to be depressing or owt, but it just occurred to me, our last 5 match winning streak was ended in 1996/7 by .... Wednesday's opponents (QPR Away). Would be interesting to see how we get on.
I've heard that Helik is getting his pocket enlarged so he's got room to fit that fat Charlie Austin in there. I just hope he remembers to take Steven Fletcher out first or it'll be a very tight squeeze
I remember the game. It was at Oakwell our run came to an end, and I think Daniele Dichio was amongst the scorers for QPR
Think QPR did the Treble against us that season league and cup . We’ve already beat them at their gaff this year so no precedents to live up to , if we’re on our game we have a great chance . Edit Last year not this year. yet!!
I would normally be resigned to coming away from there with nothing but the way we are playing, I expect something, maybe not a win - the run has to end somewhere - but at least a point.
There have been some depressing days at Loftus Road. Steve Davis having his leg broken and John Spencer running riot, Sinclairs outrageous goal dumping us out of the cup. The David Preece horror show. Geronimo's debut in a mauling. And so many more. Hopefully we can avoid another one and maybe get a point to remain undefeated on a little run.
I can’t see anyone wanting to play us right now. They’ll be bricking it. We tend to like only scoring a couple, so being realistic here. 1-4 to the Reds..
It was Spencer who ended Davis’ career. Unnecessary challenge down by our corner flag. Disgraceful. & bagged the hat trick same game. ****
Such a shame because Davis would not have looked out of place alongside De Zeeuw in the prem the following season
I recall it well sadly. The injury didn't seem to curtail Spencers overly exuberant celebrations either, the horrid little....
