I'd take anyone outside the European places, at Loftus Road. I think we'd stand a good chance of carrying on the cup run then. I'm sure we'd make a game of it with any of the top 6 or 7's reserves, but it would be another of Dowie's upsets if we were to progress.

It will be very interesting to see what we do at Ashton Gate on Saturday. Bristol are going great guns again and will be as stern a test as Sheffield United were. I don't expect us to ship 3 goals, but I'd be surprised to come away with a third clean sheet.

Hopefully they are no longer mutually exclusive - I would like a 'Big Club' next round AND a cup run!
-------------------------------------------
Well stated Ashdown_Ranger! I can’t believe there are people who want a cup run at the expence of a BIG team, but then again I was there when we won this thing in 67! Distroying the so called BIG teams on the way. From what I am reading we have a usefull team for once, and who would relish a trip to the Bush? Chelski? Man U? Don’t think so.

Zone1Ranger,

Isn't "loosing to minnows" a criminal offence?

I thought Tim Flowers was spot on with his post-match comments. Have to say I'm impressed with how ID and his staff are going about their business. Refreshing to hear them admit when they get things wrong too, and their plans to rectify matters i.e. Sheffield: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/q/qpr/7584201.stm

While Ledesma etc were absolutely brilliant, I must say that I thought that Parejo didn't have his best night. There were too many passes that went straight from him to a CUFC player. That said, we ended up winning convincingly, but with a little more accuracy, we probably could have had 7+.

I would like to thank Ian Dowie and the coaching staff at Loftus Rd. This has to be the best start we've made to a season for many a moon. I feel confident that we'll be able to beat most of our opponents this season, and because of that, I feel promotion, and a good cup run, aren't the impossible dreams they were this time last year.

Really sorry DavidM missed Tuesday's game - it was a cracker! Best team performance since the 3-0 win over Stoke last season, and arguably the best display of natural football flair I'd ever seen at Loftus Road. Awesome!

Like many other long suffering R's fans, I don't get excited when there is much hype around, but I came away from the game on Tues with a tingling sensation. I haven't had that feeling since the mid 70's. We are now onto something really big.

However, I think the squad is still gelling. Let's have a Prem club in the 4th round.

Looking forward to the villa game but, it's the biggest test we've had so far, since the change. If we can get a result here, I really think we can do it this season. I'm not interested in winning the league cup, I just want us to put in a good performance. I live in hope. Come on the R's.
