QPR face a trip to Colchester United at Layer Road Ground on Saturday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rangers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2003, with QPR inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the U's in a League Division Two match.
