Matchday Thread: Derby v QPR.

[ramAnag]

Another side that seems happier away from home than on their own turf. Hopefully Langas can start, imo as captain.
With the exception of the suspended Adams it would be good to see the same side start take up where they left off on Tuesday evening.
Obviously Eustace has to make adjustments in midfield but another second consecutive home win would do wonders for confidence, although I suspect a draw.

I'm going to be positive and predict a win, 2 nil

As rA says QPR are strong away from home and with 10 points from their last 4 matches including a midweek victory on the road they will be well up for it. Throw in our dismal 6 points from 6 home games and only 7 goals scored this will be somewhat more of a challenge than the Canaries.
After Tuesday's win another good result will be a big lift in an otherwise depressing start to the season.
A defeat will be another disappointing setback so, whilst hoping for a 3 pointer, I'll take a
1-1.

rA "another second consecutive home win..." despite the clear tautology I echo the sentiment, its winnable but sadly that usually seems to mean we wont!

[Ramshank72]

For the sake of confidence, it's a must win game. Need to stop feeling like a relegation side.

2-1 Rams.

Jeez…and to think you asked recently if I was ‘on the spectrum’!

My point was that it would be both our second home win of the season and a consecutive one. Many apologies Private Pedant. Let’s just stick to the game.

Get all over them like a rash would be my plan but all 3 of our "ratters" are out. 2 injured, 1 suspended.

I fear we'll be overrun in midfield with Ozoh Clarke and ?

…Ward? Or could Nyambe or even Robertson do a more ‘heavyweight’ job there?

Robertson!? Sorry, Johnston. Senior moment!

Almost outdoes IOW compere Rikki Farr with 'Introducing, for their first ever debut gig, ELP!'. It was their second gig

[SithHappens]

Well that was better. Feel we could have had a better margin but never looked like conceding.

Hopefully Max Johnston isn't too badly injured.

[Andy_Faber]

Langas got slightly beaten for pace by a through ball in the second half and recovered with a gorgeous tackle that any of Derby?s great defenders would have been pleased with

Before I believe that can you advise if Swale has confirmed this Andy...

[SithHappens]

It was a brilliant tackle, never even touched the player. Class

[ramAnag]

Another welcome win and two consecutive home victories have given a much more reassuring look to the table.
No coincidence that the return of Langas has led to successive clean sheets and a much needed and timely upturn in confidence given some upcoming awkward November fixtures.
Hopefully, after a busy week, those carrying knocks and still seeking full fitness will benefit from some recovery time prior to the trip to Sheffield, although it seems that, unfortunately, we’ll be unlikely to see Johnston again before December.
