Sunday Dugout Discussion

There’s a couple of top-flight encounters to entertain us this afternoon. QPR prepare for the visit of Reading, with both sides looking for their first win of the season, before Liverpool play host to Newcastle at 4pm. As always, our Dugout Discussion Chatroom is open and available ahead of the early Loftus Road showdown:

The team news from Loftus Road is in and is as follows:

QPR Starting XI: Cesar; Bosingwa, Ferdinand, Nelsen, Traore; Mackie, Diakite, Granero, Taarabt; Hoilett; Cisse

Mark Hughes makes three alterations from the side that narrowly lost 1-0 at Arsenal last weekend. Stephane Mbia drops out through suspension, with Anton Ferdinand coming in at centre-half. Jamie Mackie is preferred to Shaun Wright-Phillips on the right flank and Djibril Cisse replaces Bobby Zamora as the lone forward.

Reading Starting XI: McCarthy; Gunter, Gorkss, Morrison, Shorey; McCleary, Leigertwood, Tabb McCleary, McAnuff; Hunt, Roberts

Brian McDermott makes four changes from the side that drew 3-3 at home with Fulham last time round. In defence, Chris Gunter replaces Shaun Cummings at right-back, while Sean Morrison comes in at centre-half, with Adrian Mariappa dropping out. Elsewhere, Garath McCleary is preferred to Jimmy Kebe on the right flank and Pavel Pogrebnyak is omitted from the first XI for the first time this term, with Noel Hunt partnering Jason Robert in a front two.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

          its a tricky one. Jelavic could do something against SUND while Bale plays better away from home. But City's defence is looking better recently so how well will Bale do next week

          Personally I'd lose Valencia. I know he's got incredible fixtures, but you'll have tow Utd and Bale is much more impressive long term.

    Here is the plan to get RVP for GW11...

    Bale > Fellani
    Yaya > Sterling or McAuff
    Jelly > RVP

      If you're desperate for RVP that quick then this is a good way to go about it. Although you need to be wary of the Fellaini yellow situation and possible RVP rotation.

        The guy is the only one standing from my GW1 team after his useless team-mate Guthrie left for Sterling. Shameful really. But yeah, apparently. Wouldn't mind keeping him as him and Davies can rotate (as 2nd and 3rd sub) and they rotate quite well.
