I have a family commitment at teatime. I will record the game and then decide whether I can bear to watch it later.

A nothing game, players will feel the same as the fans 'what's the point'......

Not an acceptable attitude for players to have.
Supporters are travelling to see them.

Unable to be there or to watch, safe travels to all north Enders attending today’s game. Fingers crossed for a positive performance

And more than expected.😉

They need the 3 points more than we do and in that scenario we usually concede them.
I hope this isn’t yet another occasion

We've nothing much to play for tonight except pride and securing a top 10 finish. Also, we'll get more money by finishing a place to two higher.

Is that the case though in the Championship?

Have you ever played a competitive game and thought what's the point? Personally, I think it's bollocks that players think like that, they all have something to play for as individuals at the very least. I think it's more that QPR will be fighting for the Championship status.

I think the team selection will tell us all we need to know. The RL pressers and soundbites have been poor recently and left a very bitter taste.

I've just done a quick google search and it's hard to tell but I did find this:

The money they derive from finishing in various places in the league is just a small fraction of the revenue pie.

I was surprised tbh, I though it was significant.

I always thought it applied in the prem but not in the EFL.

Ha every day's a school day.

As for the game. Injuries are going to decide the day me thinks. With QPR scrapping for everything if we have to play a makeshift midfield again we could be in trouble.

Think the drinks in London will probably be more fun than the game

Not accepting mediocrity or complacency. They are professionals and a damn site better paid than most supporters, so get out there and put a smile on your supporters faces.
Non of this crappy sitting back and hoping for a lucky break.
Get in their faces and put the pressure on QPR COYW

 

[HunterLionheart]

Didn't we turn Middlesbrough over under Frankie when they were chasing promotion and we had nothing on the line?

Fingers crossed, weight off their shoulders and they can put a good show in for the travelling fans.

Well, we are usually very accommodating to teams in need, so probably no exception today 🙄

Probably not but I don’t like it when opponents show more commitment
