I can't get to many away games due to work, family and the fact that home games are a 200 mile round trip and having a season ticket I go to all the games at Withdean.
My last 2 away games were Brentford in October and Palace last season. Haven't seen us score away for 3 years. The bad news for the Albion is that I have a ticket for Loftus Road.

According to the " Trafalagar Square Pigeon Posse " no less, QPR are threatening to
"We ran you 'gulls two months ago and we'll do it again this week."

What benefit does one get from being negative about ones teams chances?
I only ask, because I don't know what it feels like, and I wondered if maybe I was missing out on something that would make life even better.
Is it the chance to say..."Told you so", that negative people relish, or is it just that they like fearing the worst for some reason?

All bad things have to come to an end sometime.
There was a bloke called Scousefan who every game he went to (could only get to away games and that rarely) we lost. Then he went to Peterbough April 2002 and we won that and the championship.

I'm not sure I get any more benefit about my negative feelings for this game than I got for being positive about the Oldham game where, I recall, I went for 3-0 to us in the SFL (mailing list predictions competition).
In my eyes we have been extraordinarily ordinary more often than not this season. And I'm being somewhat kind there. QPR are a decent team and they're in good form. My view is that we are a decent enough team but most certainly in poor form. I don't think we will win. Of course I want us to win and I'll be delighted if we do, but I don't think we will. I guess you'd call it realism.
"Told you so" - I don't get it. Told who what, exactly? I have nothing to gain emotionally from an Albion defeat.
Corals are offering 4/7 on a QPR win, whilst an Albion victory is priced up at 9/2. The bookies get it right more than they get it wrong.

I am positive with Benjamin now starting - big threat, if we can score early might unsettle them.

Having been to the LDV match I must say that QPR are eminently beatable. Despite the experimental lineup, we weren't outclassed that day. If the Ref is any good (ie. doesn't put up with Shittu's 'tackling' 
) then we are in with a chance of a result.
I'm really looking forward to going now!!

I don't think we can make a full judgement on QPR based on 90 minutes play against us. Even the 180 minutes that takes in the LDV game - a season is a lot longer than that and on any given day any team can be below par or going through a bad patch.
I didn't particularly rate Plymouth in our 3-3 draw with them. The table shows how wrong any "They're going nowhere" verdict I might have made would have been.
How many times did we hear opposing fans say "That Zamora was really quiet and was nothing special" ? Their sole case was built on the 90 minutes of him they'd seen.
Keep dreaming. Don't forget it was a ten man QPR you beat earlier in the season, and we beat you just a matter of weeks ago. We've won seven home games in a row and, conceded only three goals at home and failed to score once (ironically against Wycombe). We have also played shite for five games and managed to take ten points. And sadly for you, we had a sneak preview of mighty Trev the week before last. He didn't get a sniff.
Face facts - this is a big game for you but it isn't for us. If we beat you, we'll be 15 points clear and you're not going to make that up, so your hopes of auto will be gone. If the unlikely happens and you do win, at worst we'll still be five points clear in second.

Haven't read any posts in this thread but I will only say f*** em!! We'll go there and do a smash and grab and get back to sussex with the three points.
They've got to lose a home game sooner rather than later so why not to us ? Got a good feeling about Saturday.

We are well overdue a decent result on a big London awayday. This could be watershed in a season which has been meandering along. We must play it tight, be highly competitive in midfield, and Leon must take the chances which he will get as we break. I think big Trevor will make a big psychological difference to us as he will be able to hold the ball up and make a serious nuisance of himself up front. His presence will also mean that we don't have to send Guy or Danny up front for corners.
We can get something out of this game.
