With Alfie Lloyd, Harvey Vale and Paul Smyth all scoring against Derby in midweek, there’s a strong case for keeping the same attacking combination around Kolli. Do we stick with the setup that worked in the 4-1 win, or make changes for Birmingham away? Where do you think we can cause them the most problems?

The goalscorers will get the headlines, but Kemper supplied the assist for Lloyd’s opener and recorded three tackles and four interceptions before coming off in the 72nd minute. For me, his work at left-back was one of the quieter positives in the 4-1 win.

As the title states, looking to see how people are feeling?

His penalty against West Ham was only a small part of it. His composure from the spot, ability to win duels and recycle possession, and tactical awareness alongside Glen Kamara gave us a proper midfield anchor. He won 9 of 12 duels and chipped in with three interceptions and recoveries. Is he now one of the first names on Julien Stephan’s team sheet?

Question for my American R’s. Just bought an item on the official QPR store website. If you guys bought anything from there how long did it take to arrive to the states? Hoping it comes in before my vacation in a few weeks. Cheers 🍻

Finland say we pulled Kamara out of their squad early and they’re taking it to FIFA. Stephan’s basically said it’s being sorted above his level and we’ll get a decision after those talks. So with an 8pm kick-off tonight, we still don’t know if our midfielder is allowed to play.

On top of that, Cirkin is suspended after the red card, and Kone and Burrell are both out. That’s a lot to be missing against a West Ham side that hasn’t lost in six.

For me, if the rules say five days or permission, just do it properly. Kamara on the bench isn’t worth a FIFA complaint and a possible ban hanging over a game when we’ve drawn our last three.

I’d happily take a point though. Any chance Rayan Kolli gets a go? Stephan seems to be saying he won’t just walk back in because of the injuries.

What are you all expecting tonight?
