Queens Park Rangers manager Steve McClaren has chosen the eleven players that will take to the pitch against Preston North End.
A new season for QPR fans and there’s plenty of optimism in the fan base given the young crop of players we have at our disposal and glimpses that were seen from them last season, and across our pre-season warm-up campaign.
It’s going to be big year for those young lads though and our more senior players are certainly going to have to show their experience to help them through the sticky patches. No point following football if you’re not going to do your best to enjoy it though but a win at the first time of asking for McClaren will certainly boost confidence and maybe set the season up a little bit better than our recent Financial Fair Play bomb did.
We face Preston North End at Deepdale today for a 3pm kick-off and it’s game one in the Championship campaign of 2018/19.
