Ben Watson "Returning" to Crystal Palace....QPR Reserves Lineup

-
Croydon Guardian/Graham Moody - Watson to replace Soares
Ben Watson will come back into the Crystal Palace first team this weekend having failed to secure a move away from Selhurst Park.
The 23-year-old midfielder has only made one appearance in the League Cup so far this season but with Tom Soares moving to Stoke City on transfer deadline day last week, the deadball specialist is expected to fill the void left in the centre of the park.
Manager Neil Warnock said: “Now we have let Tom go he will play.”
Watson was placed on the transfer list when he turned down the offer of a new contract with his current deal running out next summer.
But despite reported interest from QPR and Birmingham City and a fee agreed with Championship newboys Nottingham Forest, no move away materialised and he will now be considered for first team selection...." .” Croydon Guardian


QPR Official Site - IN RESERVE - BUZSAKY SET TO FEATURE
Akos Buzsaky will step up his bid for a First Team recall tomorrow (Tuesday), as the R's Reserves do battle with Millwall at The New Den.
After playing 45 minutes for the second string in the 1-1 draw with Charlton Athletic last week, the Rangers midfielder - who had ankle surgery over the summer - is in line to take another step on the comeback trial against the Lions.
Goalkeeper Lee Camp is also set to feature, as are First Team squad members Hogan Ephraim, Adam Bolder, Samuel Di Carmine and Matteo Alberti.
Reserve team boss Gareth Ainsworth - who is also named in the squad - is again looking for a positive performance from his charges.
"It's another London derby and a match we're looking forward to," he told www.qpr.co.uk.
"I'm really enjoying the role and the responsibilities that come with it and as you can see from the squad we've selected again this week, we're taking the Reserves very seriously this season.
"Reserve team football is vitally important for those players on their way back to fitness, as well as the younger players who are looking to stake a claim for a First Team spot.
"I always managed - and still do - to get myself up for these fixtures and so far the players have responded too.
"We gave a good account of ourselves against Charlton last week and I'm looking for a similar performance on Tuesday."
