Royal Rother bubibe, that's been said many times on this discussion but my feeling is that QPR will be the weakest team in the play-offs as they'll be at a low psychological point having won the league in their minds fairly, then having to go out and win promotion all over again.
Warnock's powers of mitivation are obviousy superb but it would be a hell of a blow to the players and I don't think they'd be able to pick themselves up to take on the play offs with full undimmed focus.
I think QPRs form is not great at the moment, but the huge sense of injustice and motivation they will have will surely blow everyonr away. The referees will be very aware that "if they make a decision in another teams favour that turned out to be incorrect then they will be causing the FA a huge headache" (I.e. QPR will get every decision.)
If its 15 points, they will probably play us, and as above we won't have Legs. Therefore I now want them automatically promoted, although obviously League 1 would be my preference!
Also I think Cardiffs pressure is too much and they have history of blowing it. Swansea are a nice side but not great and exceedingly beatable by a cynically direct championship side playing box to box midfielders. Forest have a terrible defence...In fact I would bet on Swans/Forest or Reading coming 20th in the premierleague if they make it.
But we can do it if we don't play QPR!
