Fan View: QPR

Blues travel to Loftus Road to take on QPR on Saturday. Rob Wildey caught up with Rangers` fan, James Butler, ahead of the fixture.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON JIMMY FLOYD-HASSELBAINK?

A little mixed. He is still proving his worth and has some good traits and some bad traits. We have sold some players, some big earners, over the last few years so it is a slight rebuilding job. But sometimes, his post-match interviews are baffling, especially after a defeat.

WHAT WOULD REPRESENT A GOOD SEASON FOR QPR?

Most of our fans would say ‘top-six minimum` but let`s be honest, we are in a transitional period right now. Anything in the top half would be decent followed by a play-off push next season.

HOW HAS QPR`s SEASON GONE SO FAR?

Ten points from eight games isn`t the best start. And that defeat against Newcastle was absolutely atrocious. We are currently 16th in the league but it is heavily congested at the moment. A good run of results will fix that.

IF YOU COULD SIGN ONE BIRMINGHAM PLAYER FOR THE QPR SQUAD, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?

I watched your game against Sheffield Wednesday last weekend and Ryan Shotton was immense. It`s amazing to think he is not a natural centre back but he is capable of performances like that. He is a completely different player to the one I saw for Birmingham at Loftus Road last season?

WHICH QPR PLAYER SHOULD BIRMINGHAM BE WARY OF?

Tjaronn Chery is in decent form. He`s netted four times this season from an attacking midfield position. He`s our danger man.

WHAT IS YOUR PREDICTION FOR THE GAME?

So far, September has been a bad month with three defeats and a draw. Surely a win is due? I`m going 1-0 Rangers!
