What do we all reckon the score will be? Sadly I think we'll get narrowly beaten, 1-0 Although just looking at their results so far this season, they beat Middlesbrough 2-0 last weekend, which was their first win of more than a goal this season. Qpr haven't been rolling teams over, they've been sneaking the odd goal here and there, and they haven't really played anyone notable yet. They also got beat 2-0 in the cup at home to Swindon. The fact of the matter is though, they've only conceeded twice in the league all season, and even though we've scored more goals than them, we're hardly prolific. I reckon if we go for the game, as we did on Tuesday night, and try and cause them problems, then we may just be able to come out of the game looking very respectable. I think every team up to now has seen QPR as a bit of a cup final; well backed team with a big name manager and some very expensive players on their books. I think this is the reason QPR haven't hammered anyone.
So we've let in 26 goals since they last conceeded one. However BTTS has been an awesome bet this season in our league games and so while we won't win (call me negative) I reckon QPR will finally conceed. Gotta give Clint Hill and Richard Dunne as centre halfs a torid time.
To be fair, it's no surprise that they don't conceed goals with a centre half pairing like that. Most sides in our division are after 1 quality, experienced defender, they have 2.
I agree. Brilliant pairing at this level. They should also be pretty good together next season in the premiership without Harry having to strengthen there.
