Right then, on to the next one after a massive win at Wet Spam. 

QPR off the back of a cracking 5-0 victory over Swansea. Ironically the last time we played them it was 5-0 but this will certainly be a lot tougher than that. 

Kone the danger man for them - a hat-trick in the first 15 minutes today. The return of Ronnie Edwards - let's hope he plays his usual level at SMS. 

Dobbin coming in and doing so well at Hammers means we're less desperate to get Larin rushed back in so only really headache for Tonda is whether to go with Downes or Jander in the middle, assuming the former will be back available. 

2-1 Saints.

Would be tempting to stick with the same 11 but if Larin is fit enough I'd always start him. Downes I'd be cautious with and bring him back from the bench.

Peretz, Bree, Stephens, Schlotterbeck, Manning, Jander, JWP, Matsuki, Azaz, Scienza, Larin.

Their away form has been pretty good this season. Wins at Pompey and Blackburn, draws at Charlton, WBA, West Ham, and just one defeat last time out at Birmingham. Sure we’ll fancy it with our home form but won’t be easy.

Current Last 6 games form table - we're 3rd with 13 from 18 points, they're 12th with 9 from 18. Admittedly they had a great win today against a decent Swansea side but with us at home, at least on paper, we should be winning this. Despite the win today it would be nice to see Cyle and Flynn back though. Fully fit squad to choose from then.

Interesting. In the last six games no team has won more than four and the top four have all lost one and drawn one. So far there is no standout team as you might have expected West Ham or even Middlesbrough to have been. We just need to get that four point monkey off our backs and we're in with a chance of automatic promotion.

(Yes, I know we haven't chipped away any of those points yet but that feel good factor is returning).

Comfortable 4-1 win. Nice free week for Tonda to work on his game plan but don’t over think nullifying them.

Tonda will have one eye on the tricky Tuesday night trip to West Brom as well so wouldn't surprise me if we did see some changes. 

QPR better than last season, I'll go for a 2-1 win 

Keeping the same team as West Ham would make sense to me and allow Larin and Downes a few more days to recover (we could do without Larin jetting off to Canada for November international break)

This'll be a good game. Not end to end but both sides will create decent chances. I suspect we'll just have enough with Peretz to pull a few blinders and players like Matsuki up top who can take chances clinically.

3-1 to the Saints.

QPR have sold out the full 3,008 away end , should make for a decent atmosphere,  quite a few home end tickets still available particularly either side of the away fans 

I normally sit in the northam but have been too slow buying tickets for this so was going to give the chapel a go, when I try and book block 20 by the away fans it says it’s the family block but on the map it’s the other end of the stand, anyone know which is right?

The block next to the away fans isn’t the family stand. It’s a few blocks up.  Chapel has been better last few games.

Big game this. If we win this we are guaranteed to go above one of wba or West ham (possibly both.)

It is and QPR are currently on same points as us so a bit of a 6 pointer in that regard. 

Two very tricky games in the space of a few days,  WBA looking like a tough away trip the following Tuesday, Tonda might be less likely to make changes with a two week international break coming up giving most of the squad time to recover.

I'd be tempted to keep changes to a minimum for this one. We've finally got a bit of momentum and QPR aren't exactly coming here short of confidence after putting five past Swansea. The West Brom game is obviously another tough one, but I'd rather worry about that afterwards than start rotating too much now. Three points on Saturday would put us in a very decent position.

I reckon Downs for Jander, and Larin to start if fit.

 

I don’t want to see Downs to come back. He tails to score any goal since joining us.

We're at home, I expect us to win.  Feeling a bit more confident about the wider "squad" after Dobbin has come in and done well in recent weeks.

Difficult to change it that much but competition for places, especially in CM...can Stephens play 3 in a week?

Peretz

Bree Stephens Schlotterbeck Manning

JWP Jander

Matsuki Azaz Scienza

Dobbin
