QPR face a decent start, and a nightmare finish

QPR face a decent start, and a nightmare finish
Friday, 17th Jun 2011 09:07 by LFW

While there can be no easy games in the Premiership for QPR this season, the R's will not be unhappy with the start the fixture computer has presented them with.

Rangers will start with a home match against Bolton on Saturday, August 13, before travelling to notoriously slow starters Everton and Wigan and then returning to London to face Newcastle.

That is in stark contrast to the season's end which has a daunting look about it for a team that may be in need of points to survive. Rangers finish with Spurs home, Chelsea away, Stoke home and big spending Man City away.

The draconian, money grabbing rules of Dataco mean that LFW is not allowed to show you a list of dates (which can apparently be copyrighted) so for the full list you'll have to log on to the official website for the full list.

smegma added 09:58 - Jun 17 Last 4 aways looks even more daunting with a trip to Old Trafford then WBA/SCUM/Citeh. Only 2 night games.

thanks to chris1969 on the message board....

Checked out the Champions league weeks and we only have Chelsea in October and no other top four teams until the later stages.

These games will not be on the Saturday due to Champions league.

Chelsea (H)
Arsenal (H)
Man Utd (A)
Chelsea (A)

Other games which will probably be moved from the Saturday due the Europa league are

Tottenham (A)
Stoke (A)
Fulham (H)

isawqpratwcity added 12:10 - Jun 17 So we get to do a Blackpool? (Ok, if we must go down, let's play the open, attractive, attacking football that Blackpool tried for.) I'm not assuming a lost cause, but, damn, I want to see a sh*tload more commitment to strengthening the squad than we've seen to date.

daveB added 14:25 - Jun 17 champions league weeks depends what days they play, if Chelsea play on a tuesday we can play on the saturday although that will probably be a tv game so moved anyway

Timoteo added 16:06 - Jun 17 It's pretty unlikely, but the nightmare scenario is getting relegated at Stamford Bridge on third last day of the season...

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Knees-up Mother Brown #23 by wessex_exile

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

Knees-up Mother Brown #19 by wessex_exile

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
