Steve's pleased with QPR

[RamFromCornwall]

'The Mac' is usually quite reserved when bigging up his team's chances but maybe this is the time for him to give some fighting talk...

Hasn't done bad for us so far, why change it![/quote]
I agree, but I just think he might use a bit more fighting talk in the next week or so so that Redknapp doesn't try to patronize or belittle us with a remark here or there. Who knows[/quote]

He already alluded to bigging up the fact that we are underdogs and QPR have more experience. He clearly sees that as an advantage, he'll be saying the opposite to the players though.[/quote]

Whatever he said at half-time against Ipswich, say that again.

Steve knows their set up - whilst he was coaching them at the start of the season they were unbeate

Kranjcar looked very good last night, put a couple of the Wigan players on their ****s without even moving the ball! Just a couple of fakes and then he has the ability to put in a deadly ball.

There's no question that their weak point is their defence, which really only has experience going for it. Again our counter-attacks could be *****. Imagine Russell or Ward running at Hill/Dunne with Martin to support. Don't think they'd cope.

Agreed their defence is weak - the midfield will be key. If we can contain them and break quickly they won't cope. Gaps in our defence will be punished though - it will be a tight game and tactics will make the difference - will Steve out-think Harry or vice versa?

I think Rangers will suit us better...Wigan after all have played several games at Wembley over the year so nerves wouldn`t have affected them as much...

Plus with Hill & Dunne at the back our pace should cause them no end of problems unlike say Boyce & Barnett etc

And hopefully Stevie boy knows a few of their weak spots to boot as well

Just a shame another 10k people wont be joining the party...me probably one of them :-(
