In 20 odd years I don't think I've ever started one of these.
I'm thinking (hoping) we will go with a three man midfield this weekend, with Morgan, Field and Varane. Coventry scored five last weekend! We can't afford to concede too early, and will need to score first to get anything out of it IMO. An early Coventry goal, supporters getting aggy... gulp.
We all want a box-to-box no. 8, but these players are high value and not easy to sign on the cheap. He's young, and a bit slight, but I wonder if we need to start thinking about cultivating Morgan in this role as a long term solution? We know he can get stuck in, he's got bags of energy, and popped up with an absolute thunder-bastard last weekend.
Poku being out actually makes this an easier decision to make, because we can play Chair and Dembele either side of Burrell (or Kone if fit) without agonizing over who gets left out.
Presumably Dunne returns at RB, Esquardinho returns at LB, and Morrison and Mbengue start at CB.

I’ll happily take a repeat of the 1-0 in 1992 when we (briefly) went top of the league, resulting in one of my favourite QPR tabloid headlines - ‘Gerry And The Pacemakers’ |  | | |

If the interview by Stephan is anything to go by, Varane and Dunne are both to start with Kone as a sub. Don't know who will start up front if that's the case. |
Yes he also said he rated them as the 3rd best team in the league and the game is a huge challenge!
Are we playing Man City or Barcelona? Could be wrong but is he managing our expectations? Hope I am wrong but a tonking might be on the cards…be very pleased to be a wrong and we get something out of the game. |  | | |

We're 5/1 for this. Biggest odds in a while.
If Dunne can start, freeing up Morgan to go into a 3-man central midfield and if we can somehow break even at left-back then there might be value here. If not, then it could be more of the first half at Watford.
Cov 1.53
Draw 3.80
Rangers 6.00 |
Wow !!
That's an extremely decent price Brian. As we all well know, Rangers so often win the games we have no right to do so. Their only home game, this season, was hardly outstanding. A no score bore draw with the mighty Hull...
Ourselves with two new strikers in Burrell and Kone - 5/1 is a very decent price !! [Post edited 22 Aug 16:58]

For some reason i'm inclined to think Coventry always score headers from corners against us every game, so our team of Michael Bentines pottymen leaves me with some concern.
I'll be watching the game from the Leigh on sea constitutional club with £4 pints of Galicia and scampi in a basket , yet i will be with all travelling R's going to the post modernist Bauhaus strontium dog wastelands of Coventry, in spirit.
Loved thatCoventry away kit that center foward pairing Ian Wallace and Mick Ferguson wore in the late '70's, that brown and yellow Atari logo affair that looked like the seat coverings to a Talbot Sunbeam.
1-1 and a hangover of some note sunday morning.

Been a couple of ‘major’ players missing in training this week .
Hope to god they are now fit to play tomorrow .
Can’t see us getting much from the game if I’m honest .
Sorry for the pessimism |  | | |
