The Fan Zone

Ben Platt (W12 PODCAST): After a stuttering start to the season, we have found a little bit of rhythm going into Wednesdays clash with Oxford at Loftus Road. Since the 7-1 defeat to Coventry, weve gone four league games unbeaten (W W W D) and on reflection, as weird as it sounds, that defeat was potentially something the manager needed. However, in typical QPR style, in a game on paper you need to be winning, we put in a pretty lacklustre poor performance. Which in the end we were happy to get away with a point. We will need to improve at home on Wednesday night to an unpredictable Oxford. Nicolas Madsens renewed form is a real positive and he grabbed his first goal of the season on Saturday.

Again, not much by way of team news. Expect the same squad to be involved, perhaps a recall for Rayan Kolli with us being at home. Jake Clarke-Salter is back available but Id be surprised if he is rushed back in with his horrendous injury record. Chair and Poku still out.

Prediction: 2-1
