KARL Henry won’t be surprised if he is dropped with all the options QPR now have in midfield.

The former Wolves player (pic) has started in all five unbeaten Championships matches so far. But the capture of Nico Kranjcar, Tom Carroll and retention of Joey Barton this week means life is somewhat crowded in the Hoops middle third.

Throw into the mix Junior Hoilett, Ali Faurlin, Samba Diakite, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Gary O’Neil, Jermaine Jenas – and even Hogan Ephraim, and something’s got to give.

But Henry claims he always expected a fight on his hands.

“We’ve got some really good central midfielders and I certainly expect rotation,” he explained.

But his missus was delighted when Rangers came back a second time after they lost out to Wolves in 2006.

Lucy Henry and in-laws are west Londoners, and were fingers crossed throughout July the deal to take Karl to Rangers for a reported £1m would go through.

He said: “I think she may have supported Chelsea in the past. But she supported me when we got married – and now of course, she’s QPR through and through.”

Henry would have been here already, but seven years ago Rs lost out to Wolves when his then club Stoke didn’t want to haggle over the fee.

He revealed: “I did a medical here (QPR), but because the fee would have gone to a tribunal, Stoke weren’t so keen, and in the end Mick McCarthy came in for me and took me to my hometown club.

“But clearly coming to QPR was meant to be all along.”
