On Tuesday, we face Holloway's QPR at Villa Park.

We are looking at doing the double, as Villa are in hot form, while QPR search for consistency.

I will go for a safe 2 nil to Villa.

It didn't go well for us at the game at Loftus Road earlier in the season, but they are now facing a Villa in hot form, while their form is very inconsistent.

I will go for a safe 2 nil to Villa.

We won 1-0...

Oh crap, we did too. I thought we lost that one.

Fixed.

Away from home AND on Sky Sports. I know it seemed far-fetched!

I remember now. The look on that goblin Holloway's face after the game was priceless.

               Johnstone

Hutton Chester Baker Taylor

                  Jedinak

    Hourihane       Lansbury

Adomah    Kodjia       Green

Subs - Bunn, Elphick, Bree, Amavi, Grealish, Bacuna, RHM

I am assuming Hogan is out for at least a week

Would be nice for RHM to get a cameo appearance under his belt to see what the fuss is about

2-0 win for me!

If the play offs happen they happen, for me this is a perfect opportunity to blood RHM with no pressure on him whatsoever. Stick to the 442 we started with yday.  That is the way to get Kodjia to understand it too

I hate to be the bringer of fear - but there's another striker who this manager might well have in front of RHM in the pecking order - and he's pretty much back to 'fitness' too.

Hopefully pretty much everyone that played yesterday will be okay to start on Tuesday.

I'd start to blood a couple of youngsters every game at this stage but i think Bruce won't do that until promotion is mathematically impossible, which will probably be with 2 or 3 games to go so they get very little time to prove themselves before the season is over.

 

I'm gonna go for a 5-2 win, a barnstormer of a match, incredible scenes throughout the 90 minutes

QPR's last league win at Villa Park was in 1992 (1-0). We have drawn 2 and won 5 of our home league games against them since then. Another win and another clean sheet would be nice as would the league double that would give us. 2-0 again?

I'm a little nervous about this one.  Not as confident as I've been in recent weeks.  I'm still erring towards a solitary goal win, but I have 'draw' nagging me in the back of my mind.  Other than a loss at Gary Rowett's Derby, they had been flying.  They face Brighton after us, so hopefully we can be the 2nd in a run of 3 consecutive losses :)

2-1 Villa.

They are a different beast to the team we beat earlier in the season.

So are we. :)

We have a midfield now.

I recall (tender age of 19!) being at this fixture 40 years ago or so ...1977 league cup semi final 2nd leg at Villa Park, it finished 2 -2. I am pretty sure an anouncement was made that the Holte End gates were shut as it was packed that night. A great night if I remember, even better though was the replay at Highbury when Sir Brian got his hat trick ....lets hope we win. I am heading up from home (Newmarket - Suffolk) with my daughter for this one K4 Upper Holte....she loves it!....she has no choice its in her DNA !

All the best

None of our league games this season have had more than 4 goals in them.  We're the only Championship side yet to be involved in a game with 5 or more goals in the league.
