It's QPR vs Southend...
QPR, without a win in 14 games are definitely due for a win! With their two new signings, Fulham defender, Zesh Rehman and Southampton forward, Dexter Blackstock, hopefully today will be the day for QPR!
QPR's last victory was February 25, away to Sheffield United (QPR thus completed "the double" against promoted Sheffield United. There can be no forgetting the home game agains Sheffield United, played exactly a year ago tomorrow, in our third game of the season. Much has been written about - and much ensued as a result - of all that transpired, or more accurately, was alleged to have transpired, off-the-field at that game.)
