They're absolutely dreadful away from home this season, bottom 3 for away form if I'm not wrong. If we can't beat this lot at the MKM we might as well pack it in
I reckon we'll come out flying. Crowd should be decent for a Saturday 3pm and we owe them one after that rubbish performance at Loftus Road earlier in the season
My prediction: 3-1 Hull City

 

[BeverleyRdTiger]

Going Saturday, East Stand as always. QPR have been shocking on the road this season so no excuses really. Need to come out of the blocks fast and not let them settle. Last time we played them at home it was dead for the first 20 minutes and we let them grow into the game. Cant be having that again. 2-1 City for me

 

[Wilko79]

QPR always seem to give us a game no matter what form they're in. Remember when they turned us over here a few seasons back when they were bottom of the table. Never take anything for granted in this league. That said we should be winning this one. 2-0

 

[MKMFaithful]

On paper this is one we should be winning comfortably but the Championship doesn't work like that. QPR may be struggling but they've got some players who can hurt you on the break if we're not careful. Key for me is the first 15 minutes, set the tone early and the crowd will do the rest. Going for a 2-1 win but wouldnt be surprised if its tighter than that

 

[AmberNBlack]

Watch us somehow make this difficult. Every time we play a team in bad form we seem to drag ourselves down to their level. Hope I'm wrong but I've seen this film too many times. 1-1 draw written all over it knowing our luck
