Rovers away at QPR - Good Friday 19th April 2019

[Mercer]

We should be on a roll.  Fully expect two comfortable wins against QPR and Bolton.  Hope Mowbray now realises we are much better on the front foot and it's best to let the opposition worry about us instead of dressing them up as Barca or Real.

Mowbray needs to give the young players their head.  Play them and tell them to go out enjoy and show the footballing world what they can do,  Time to give the likes of Nyambe, Magloire, Davenport, Chapman, Buckley, Butterworth and Brereton some serious game time.

You pretty much always expect comfortable wins though. At this point, you may as well stop making statements like that, and instead just say 'I'm Mercer'. We'll know what you mean, and it saves you on the typing.

I don't expect a comfortable win against QPR. Why do you? QPR just beat Swansea 4-0. They're still in need of points to avoid relegation, whereas our season is over. As you say, some of the young players may be getting a game too, which could improve our performance or weaken it, it remains to be seen at this point.

I expect to beat Bolton though.

In him? Dirty bastard.

He floated one into his box.

If this continues into the July month, we will all need to register as 18 years old porn able users!

I'm not getting into this. Unlike Britt.

Bit of a mission on the trains today. 4 changes to Shepherd’s Bush I think. Not so bad going down but coming back after an all dayer could be problematic.

And Gareth Ainsworth is a Blackburn lad who played many games for QPR as well.

Also Ossie Ardiles

Are you terminating at Harrow and Wealdstone? I am and my plan is Bakerloo Line to Oxford Circus from Harrow and Wealdstone underground station and the Central Line to White City.

Changing at Harrow and Wealdstone. Then think getting underground to Willesden Junction then from there to Shepherd’s Bush.

Looking at the TfL map it seems a shorter journey the way you are going.

Good luck with your journey. It makes you wonder about the mentality of whoever thought QPR away on Good Friday was a smart idea !

Fully expect Smallwood to start today, he's been out of the side too long. Same for Mulgrew. 

[joey_big_nose]

Would love to see Chapman and Buckley today. Even intrigued to see if Brereton has improved.

[TonyM]

Going to this one today with my son - our attendance at away fixtures usually means a grim defeat ( other than in our League One season) , but here's hoping !

[Trinidad Rover]

Back from Trinidad for this one - first game for a while and I’ve brought the weather with me. 

Only thing that can spoil my day is R. Smallwood in the starting XI.

Hoping to see some of the u23 lads get a game, Buckley in particular 

[Bigdoggsteel]

The QPR manager has gone full Mowbray bigging us up!

Banged a mercer on a rovers win and darragh to score. I think the sun's gone to my head.

Shocking if true

Totally unacceptable if true. They don't even have a game until Tuesday. No excuse, short of the entire u-23 team being injured, would be acceptable.

I suppose we will know in roughly 5 minutes what the story is
