Charlton Official Site Preview of Charlton vs QPR - "...R's winger Lee Cook...expects Sousa to bring success to Loftus Road with his coaching style rather than his signings. "The boss might bring in English players, Portuguese players or Italian players - we don't know," Cook said. "All I know is, with his coaching and what he tries to get through to you on the pitch, I think we're going to be successful...."

"DOUBLE HEADERS"
- One of the things that evoke nostalgia was the old home and away games against the same team, over Christmas or Easter - sometimes even on consecutive days. Not quite clear why this ended: whether it was too punishing on the players (especially in the time of train or bus transportation); but end it did (as did the three games in four or five days over Easter).
The last time this occurred, was forty years ago in QPR's 1967/68 Promotion season. QPR's opponents: Plymouth Argyle, away on Boxing Day! (And four days later, Plymouth at Loftus Road.) On Boxing Day, 1967, QPR won at Plymouth 1-0 through a Mike Keen penalty. Four days later, QPR completed their double, by defeating Plymouth 4-1 at Loftus Road. Rodney Marsh, 2 and Mike Keen 2. Springett, Clement Hazell Keetch Harris, Morgan, Keen, Sanderson, Morgan, McGovern, Marsh. (Mick McGovern making his QPR debut) (In the 'return game', Wilks replaced McGovern.
- Before that: In 1966/67 played Brighton (H) 3-0 and next day away (2-2). In 1964/65: QPR were at Bristol Rovers on Boxing Day, and then a couple of days later, home to Bristol Rovers. In 1963/64, over Easter, QPR played Wrexham at home; Reading the next day and then Wrexham a couple of days later. And so one
