How does everybody think Disco Stu will get on?

I have a bad feeling he'll get a goal.

Yep, got to be worth a punt on him scoring at some point. Don't think it'll do them any good though.

Always got that feeling he'll be out there to prove a point, but then against he'll most likely try too hard then end up getting subbed at half time. Not convinced he's cut out for this league.

He'll be busting himself to prove us wrong for letting him go.

QPR, despite their reputation as being an attacking side, have only scored 7 goals in 9 games in the league. We need that to be 7 in 10 by this time on Sunday. If it is, I'm confident we'll get the 3 points.

my friend is a season ticket holder at QPR and last season she loved Taarabt although would say he is not always effective and thus far this season she is not impressed with him.

I think he may well be fired up against us and he has it in his locker to pull out something special but he is not someone we should really be fearing as frankly he is not even close to being good enough for our team.

If we play to our best we should beat them at home with relative comfort although I suspect with them on a high from beating Chelsea and us stuttering with form (although still getting results) this may be a closer game than we would hope and we will have to grind out a result.

I won't be putting money on Taraabt to score, not that he isn't capable just that I think we probably have more to fear from the pace of SWP and the quality of Barton than from Taraabt who I think we are more than capable of keeping quiet and ineffective.

Let's just make WHL a fortress and not worry about Tarabarat :grin:
Surely we need better goal difference and this is the right game for that.

I was about to type that I don't recall him even getting many assists this season yet and then I saw this. I'm sure his performance on Sunday will be his best of the season so far, but whether or not that will be enough to get a result for QPR or even get himself a goal is different question entirely.

Personally I'm much more bothered about the prospect of SWP and Barton having worldies against us, as I think thats what they need to cause us any real trouble (famous last words).

This is one player we should never have sold... IMO we only saw glimpses of it but it is clear he would have been one of the best players in the league if we had been more patient with him.... he definately would have scored/assisted more than that Van der Vaart fella... wouldnt be surprised if Barca or Real are after him.






:wink:

In all seriousness we dont miss him one bit, but yeh bet he scores on Sunday!

He's 7/2 to score at anytime. Gotta be worth a sneaky score to ensure it doesn't happen :)

He's the type of player that's got all the talent, but no football brain and an ego that is detrimental to his talents.

Sadly, he won't relies this until he's in his 30's and playing for some non descript team in some uncompetetive league somewhere.
