LFW's look ahead to the forthcoming action elsewhere in the Coca Cola Championship.
Well, the FA Cup takes centre stage again this weekend, meaning that the R's have what has been an all too familiar, annual day off. There are however, 2 fixtures on Saturday that have been brought forward from midweek, following early cup exit's - Bristol City take on Blackpool at Ashton Gate and Burnley take on Scunthorpe at Turf Moor.
It's actually quite refreshing seeing the FA being sensible and bringing some games forward, because for the umpteenth time this season, the poor football supporters are yet again being asked to make some ridiculous midweek journeys...
Watford travel to Sheffield United, Plymouth are at Ipswich, Colchester are at Barnsley and Stoke are at Charlton. R's fans must not only make the long trip west, but also leave the country by travelling across the Welsh border to Cardiff.
Elsewhere and leaders West Brom travel to Preston, Palace take their 15 match unbeaten record to the Walkers Stadium to take on Leicester, Norwich make the long trip to Southampton and Hull are at home to free falling Coventry.
