Marc Bircham will don the blue & white hooped shirt of QPR once more this season as he recovers from a back injury to play for the reserves tonight, according to the QPR official website.
Here's hoping it goes well and he can play again for the first team before the season is over.
Bircham's contract ends this season, and its far from certain as to whether it will be extended.
I, for one, hope it will be.

John Gregory: Rangers through & through
After steering QPR from bottom in the Championship to their current position, John Gregory is without doubt a good manager.
But, in the aftermath of the Cardiff game, it was revealed what a great guy and top QPR bloke he is. When a QPR World reporter told him that QPR captain Marcus Bignot had suggested that Gregory was the most important signing of the season, JG let out a sob and had to walk away from the camera. Viewers then saw Gregory try and collect himself, before ending the interview.
The passion and emotion was there for all to see.
Top bloke.

The Rs are staying up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Da da da da, Dexter Blackstock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bye bye Cardiff, enjoy the journey home. Hahahahahahahaha...............
Bye bye Cardiff, enjoy the journey home. Hahahahahahahaha...............
Whatever happened to Ray Jones?
He made such an impressive start for the Rs. He's scored six goals this season in 18 starts and has looked genuinely threatening when he gets the ball. His height and pace combined will surely make him a target man for years to come.
But, after all the hoo-ha about his new contract, we've seen little of Ray since. John Gregory at first chose to play only one up front (with Dexter Blackstock being the natural choice), and more recently he has been selecting Marc Nygaard, Paul Furlong and Shabazz Baidoo above Ray.
Maybe Gregory doesn't want to spoil Ray by playing him in a relegation dogfight.
Whatever the reason, I hope we see a lot more of Ray next season. And I hope its in a blue & white hooped shirt...

At home to Cardiff
Our away win at Cardiff earlier on this season has become notorious for two reasons:
firstly, it sparked Cardiff's freefall from promotion contenders to mid table obscurity.
secondly, it marked the end of QPR's infamous Sky Sports curse.
Cardiff have no reason to win tomorrow - they have nothing to fight for really.
QPR have every reason to win - it would surely put us beyond the evil reach of relegation.
But with Danny Cullip, Michael Mancienne and Lee Cook all doubtful, it's going to be a nervous 20 hours until the team sheet is announced...

Tick tock, tick tock
Games to go: 3
Points clear: 4
We should be safe. Surely.
I mean, currently there are 6 teams below us in the league.
But now I remember. I'm talking about QPR, and nothing is certain...

Zesh Rehman believes he is good enough to play in Premiership
Zesh - you're having a laugh. Yes you might have had some bad luck, and maybe you've suffered from a lack of confidence, but you are simply living in a dreamland.
You are just about good enough to play in our reserve team, and perhaps make the bench next season and if you play really well, maybe, just maybe make the first team.
But before you make the first team you're going to need to improve your tackling, heading, passing and speed.
But I'll give you this, I haven't laughed so hard in ages.

"Must haves" for next season
If next season is to go any better than this season, we MUST have:
A strong goalkeeper (i.e. Lee Camp)
A strong defender to partner Danny Cullip in central defence (i.e. Michael Mancienne)
A creative midfielder to complete Adam Bolder's excellent tackling and movement. (i.e. Idiakez)
A goalscorer to partner Dexter Blackstock (not sure who on this one).
If we could sign Camp and Idiakez, and maybe extend Mancienne's loan, we would have a great chance at a mid table finish next season.

At Home to Luton
Regardless of how important this game is to our relegation struggle, we have to beat Luton because their fans are some of the rudest, scummiest in the league, and they play terrible football and deserve to be playing non league football.
Coventry 0 QPR 1
A massive win. My heartbeat is slowly returning to normal today.
We're looking in a strong position to stay up.
If we can beat Luton on Monday then surely we'll have done enough? (And have the added advantage of sending Loo-town to the lower division)

Cookie @ Coventry - In or Out
BBC has Lee Cook as available for the Coventry game.
QPR official site has him as a doubt.
ARE THEY TRYING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK?
I have fingers, toes and everything else crossed for Lee to play today.
Cookie - we need you.

Coventry Away
Games to go: 6
Points clear of relegation: 4
It will be a nervous trip up to Coventry today for the QPR team and fans.
We are so close, but yet so far, from survival.
This season has been dismal and disheartening in so many ways. And yet I have a renewed optimism for next season already. We just need to survive the last 6 games.
Dexter Blackstock will surely start up front today, but the big question is, who with? Marc Nygaard has been starting recently, but he's not really performed. Paul Furlong has been playing well and brings welcome passion and experience, but he's a bit long in the tooth. Stefan Moore has been on form in the Reserves, and Ray Jones is also a contender.
If Dexter can build a good working relationship and partnership with another striker, surely our fortunes will change.
Normally I'd be happy with a draw at Coventry, but today when they have nothing to play for, and we have it all to play for, we need a win.
COME ON YOU RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
