Queens Park Rangers take on Alan Pardew's promotion-chasing Charlton this Saturday.
Rangers look like they could be in trouble this season, even though they've recently been taken over by wealthy Formula One magnates Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone.
I might be stating the obvious, but I don't think they'll be leaving The Valley with anything come Saturday night.
They've been very, very disappointing away from home and haven't been much better at my old stomping ground Loftus Road.
However, Charlton failed to beat Barnsley at home recently and were bullied into a 2-0 defeat at Wolves last Saturday.
Pardew suggested his side were 'roughed up' by Mick McCarthy's men at Molineux.
Because they've come down from the Premier League, playing them is like a cup final for many other teams so they have to expect some tough treatment.
But I'm sure they'll learn from that and develop a style of play to counter teams who want to scrap with them.
They're still a Premier League-orientated club and they want to play pretty football so teams are going to see if they can mix it.
No game is ever the same in the Championship and teams are going to ask them questions.
Pardew's men didn't answer those questions against Wolves and went away with nothing...Bromley Times
