I want to see Siggy get a start. I'm worried he won't get a shot this season.

Here are our three striker's stats for the season going into the game at Loftus Road...
Let's talk tactics. This is a game we should easily boss but with the QPR win over the chavs and the whole Redknapp thing QPR will be up for this game.
That leaves me on the fence if we should employ a 4-4-2/4-4-1-1 with both Defoe and Adebayor playing up top or the standard 4-2-3-1 we have been playing away from home. Both Dempsey and Gylfi have been playing better of late than Adebayor s0 I think I would prefer the 4-2-3-1 especially since QPR will only probably only play 1 striker as well and have 5 in the midfield. With Adebayor headed out for international duty I'm expecting both Defoe and Adebayor to play though.
What do you all think?

Standard tactics, they are very well suited to away fixtures and if Im not mistaken have us on track for a record amount of away wins (for us).
We will hold the ball in midfield and look for opportunities to break/counter. Defensively it seems todo the job away, and offensively if we can get Dempsey/Defoe/Bale and Lennon running at THAT back line I have every confidence we can score goals.
Even though I fully expect Green to have his once a season incredible performance.

Is this the same Green that did this? 
Have been unable to renegotiate my weekend plans so I have a spare ticket for this match if anyone is interested. It's in the upper tier but it is restricted view; got it through my membership so it shouldn't be one of the worst! Face value £48.

you bet your ass it is
Have I missed Cesar getting injured? Cos otherwise Green is going no where near the goal.
He had a blinder against us for West Ham the season they got relegated the bastard.

Ade is at the ACON :avbfacepalm:
Not until after this game mate. He will probably only end up missing Man Utd, FA Cup 4th round and Norwich.
Ade is available, but will AVB select him? If these new quotes from Adebayor are genuine, then they are not the best of buds..
I hope we absolutely batter them and then Villas Boas patronises Redknapp in the post match interview.
Lineup is pretty straight forward.
Best defence bar Kaboul, Best strikeforce but with Defoe rather than Ade in it. I'd probably start Parker over Dempsey to allow Dembele to start the game further forward, gives us an extra man with pace.
With Defoe in and around the box and Bale + Dembele + Lennon running at that QPR defence we should score at least 2-3 goals during 90 mins. They really are a shamble.
Oh and shitlucky against Chelsea, suits me fine if they think they can attack us just because of that victory. They are more than welcome to run themselves onto the sword vs. a team with Bale and Lennon in it.
