QPR To Play Blackburn In The FA Cup 3rd Round - which is going to be a tough match.
Mark Hughes
Blackburn Team are very aggressive and shut down the ball quickly. Rovers try to win the ball first, then try to play a bit of passing football, not before. Much like how Holloway wants the QPR players to play.
Scoring goals will be difficult for Rangers against Blackburn, but not impossible as our direct ball style can be very affective against pressing teams. Hopefully Holloway can field our best fully fit 11 superhoops up North at Ewood Park. Furlong is experienced enough at premier league level to upset thew Blackburn defenders.
If our creative minded Richard Langley decides to put his best foot forward, we may just pull of a virtual soccer giantkilling performance to be remembered. Our FA cup exploits under Holloway have been memorable for all the wrong reasons. Every time I see a Vauxhall built motor-car, I shudder and remember the
Vauxhall Motors FC defeat at Loftus Road.
