The next couple of games are arguably our toughest so far. Our unbeaten run will end at some point probably in one of these fixtures. How we deal with it will be important.
I'd be starting Austin as he was quite unlucky not to score against Huddersfield.

I think we'll line up something like:
                                Johnstone
   Furlongs        Ajayi                   Bartley           Ferguson

                      Livermore            Sawyers

         Phillip's                    Periera                      Diangana
                                             Austin

Subs: Bond, O'Shea, Brunt, Krovinovic, Edwards, Robson Kanu, Zohore
Even if Hegazi is fit I'm not sure I'd play him, might be better to save him for Leeds.

Yes but it's a bit of a risk bringing any centre back in after a long absence against arguably the most talented team in the league.  Difficult one.

I'd be looking at the Cardiff game at home as a possible return for Hegazi. QPR will come too soon and Leeds play with so much intensity it wouldn't be right to throw a player into that environment for his first game back after a long absence. I expect we will go with this team at QPR:

                                   Johnstone

Furlong            Ajayi                        Bartley           Ferguson

                      Livermore                 Sawyers

Phillips                         Pereira                              Diangana

                                   Austin


Subs: Bond, O'Shea, Brunt, Krovinovic, Robson-Kanu, Edwards, Zohore.


Even if Gibbs / Townsend are fit I'd be surprised if either of them are thrown in especially for an away game. One of them may make the bench possibly at the expense of Chris Brunt.

Same lineup as last match for me, except Diangana for Kroc. One of these matches we will explode for 6 goals, I think this may be the one.

Correct no need to make too many changes. Dont want to rush Hegazi back and see him get I hired again. The only other one I would be tempted to switch is the keeper.

[johnny Cash]

I can see us losing this one. I think QPR will have a point to prove after the two games last season.

[Hull Baggie]

Yes but it's a bit of a risk bringing any centre back in after a long absence against arguably the most talented team in the league.  Difficult one.

it is risky and as you say a difficult choice, I just think he'll have played a couple of U23 games by then and his presence and more importantly experience in the back 4 could help.

[Fritzl Palace]

Ultimately, on the Hegazi front, the medical  team will be the ones privy to the information required to know whether he is ready for action yet or not. If they determine that he is, get him straight in. A half fit Hegazi remains a better player than Bartley.

[Hull Baggie]

I can see us losing this one. I think QPR will have a point to prove after the two games last season.

They had a point to prove at home against us last season as well though.
 It will be a difficult game no doubt. I'd be happy with a draw.

[tommcneill]

This will be a hard game, QPR have impressed me this season.

However id expect us to still be favourites and to come away with at least a draw

Might leave my aunt Winifred at home for this, don't want Will Finnie to fill Winnie.

[mulliganstired]

I have a feeling he might give Sawyers a rest soon, maybe this one

six goals away from home?? I will have some of what you've got please!

I really don't think this will be the one - QPR have started well this season and are certainly no mugs! This will be a tight one in our favour. Going to go for 2-1 Albion with the hope that Austin scores the winner (sweet as anything seeing as I know quite a few QPR fans!)

[Dynamo10]

I've been reliably informed that away fans are to stick to the two pubs based in Westfield Shopping Centre, which are the Bull and the Maple. I've also been told to avoid pretty much any pub on the Uxbridge Road as these are home pubs and has potential to get somewhat "lively" if away fans turn up.

[BigFrank20]

The year we won the title there I seem to remember a pub outside the ground being swamped by Baggies in fancy dress
Seem to remember it as being something like The Harlequin
Westfield is a soulless place to be for a pre-match drink

If Google is correct (big if!), then that's now a Wetherspoons known as the Central Bar.

Johnstone

Ferguson
Ajayi
Bartley
Gibbs

Livermore
Sawyers

Phillips
Pereira
Diangana

Austin

Bond, Furlong, O'Shea, Harper, Krovinovic, Edwards, Zohore

I'd pick the team above with the intention of picking the team below against Leeds. I'd be surprised if the Leeds game doesn't impact Bilic's thinking for Saturday. against Leeds I would want Krovinovic in for his pressing and ability to keep possession and Zohore or Robson-Kanu in up top to have the ability to run the channels and exploit the space Leeds will leave.

these 3 game weeks are going to see us having to use our big squad effectively, that's for sure

Understand your point about using the squad, Also I  hope to see Hegazi at least on the bench for one of the next 2 games

[zippyandbungle]

                   Bond/al habsi/ my mom


Furlong.     Semi.       Bartley.      Ferguson

         Krov.        Livermore.   Sawyers

     Edwards.       Zohore.    Pereira


Play with Johnstone = no clean sheet

Yes, but is your mom really that much better?

In all seriousness I'd put Bond in. I still can't quite understand the Al Habsi signing as whenever I've seen him, Bond has looked solid.

[royhan]

No surprises today: Johnstone, Ferguson, Ajayi, Bartley, Furlong, Livermore, Sawyers, Phillips, Pereira, Diangana, Austin:
Sub: Bond, O'Shea, Gibbs, Edwards, Krovinovic, Zohore, Robson-Kanu

Lee Hendry on Sky Sports has written us off already..no surprise there then..😂

Grady looks hungry opening 10mins chasing everything down.
