One to watch
Gareth Ainsworth
QPR's top scorer
Gareth Ainsworth - 6 goals
QPR's bad boy
Paul Furlong - 6 
2 
We've already seen what Ainsworth is capable of doing at the reverse fixture at the beginning of October.
The former Northwich man is a powerful and skilful winger that is also fantastic in the air. The 'Wild Thing' may be overdue a haircut but he's also overdue a goal.
Gareth is capable of scoring with both feet and his head (as we discovered a few months back). He is an old fashioned winger with the aptitude of a striker. Whoever is looking after this bloke must have their wits about them otherwise they could soon find themselves in trouble.
