Doyle injured ?

Got the bug?

So Tommy Doyle is out of the side and Rubin Colwill is brought in to try and fill that creativity void.

Steve Morison mentioned that Doyle told him he was under the weather before putting in a man-of-the-match display against Derby County in midweek. Given the football he has played, he perhaps deserves a little break anyway.

Mark Harris is also not involved.

Alfie Doughty is preferred in that left wing-back role over Joel Bagan, those two will continue to battle for that berth for the remainder of the season, one suspects.

Otherwise, it's as you would expect for the Bluebirds!

QPR: Marshall; Dickie, Barbet, Dunne; Odubajo, Field, Hendrick, Wallace; Gray, Chair; Willock

Subs: Mahoney, Kakay, Amos, Ball, McCallum, Dozzell, Adomah.

That to me look like a comfortable starting line up.

Colwill starting will be interesting. Ralls, Winter in midfield will also be interesting. All this against an alsorts QPR side make it even more interesting.
