Canadian wide-man previews our game against Queens Park Rangers

Since joining the Royals, Junior Hoilett has scored crucial goals in wins against his old clubs… the winner in Cardiff last year, and our second in a 3-0 triumph over Blackburn this term.

Can he do it again this weekend when Queens Park Rangers come to town…?! The preparation is almost ready; a good week on the training field at Bearwood and now a chance to step back in front of our fans.

“It’s good to get a full week of training under our belt,” Junior said. “The energy has been high, especially after the win against Watford.

“And the intensity in training has been good. So we will bring that into this weekend’s fixture. If we can nullify them and play to our strengths, we’ll be fine.

“When you play against your old team, you always want to get one over them and get the win! Especially after the loss earlier on in the season at their place. Personally, any time I play an old team I want to get the win – it gives an extra incentive to go and get the bragging rights!

“And our fans have been magnificent. They’ve been an extra man at home and they give us that extra boost going into home matches.

“We’ve been strong all season and we can bring that into the rest of the games this season. It’s a good opportunity to push into a play-off position. We have to remain strong, stick with the manager’s tactics, and go out and play like we always do at home.”
