Steven Reid and Matthew Connolly are expected to be missing from the QPR squad which travels to Watford on Monday night.

On-loan Blackburn midfielder Reid is still struggling with a hamstring problem and defender Connolly has a pelvic injury.

Rangers picked up no fresh knocks at the weekend but boss Jim Magilton is expected to make changes following the 5-1 mauling by Middlesbrough.

Damion Stewart, Peter Ramage and Tommy Williams will all push for starts in a shell-shocked defence.

"We've got just a few hours to think about it and we'll go to Watford aiming to put the wrongs of that performance right," said Magilton.

Angelo Balanta (groin) is close to returning but Gavin Mahon, Martin Rowlands and Lee Cook (all knee) are long-term absentees.
