    Watching on a stream I didn't appreciate just how bloody good those saves were as there were no replays and the the sky Leeds commentator was busy shouting goal and then no how did he miss....he didn't even mention the saves....
    Have to say it was a lovely piece of play by them in the build up....
    Just love the reaction of furlong and BFG...
    Brilliant from Lumley...

    I'd only seen that on the single camera red button, what a great bit of keeping. Just not Leeds night was it?...:grin:

    Have to disagree
    Luongo was excellent
    In fact the whole midfield was
    Freeman was best but the others were not far behind

    Completely agree on Luongo. I didn't see this game, but every time I watch him he's very poor with the ball generally and, as my lad points out, always seems to hide when we have the ball, rather than making himself available.

    I’m genuinely amazed any QPR fan who has seen him regularly doesn’t rate him. He’s streets ahead of our other central midfielders who are generally hopeless when he’s not around to carry them.

    Yes, Luongo is a vital part of our midfield. Admittedly, passing is not his strongest suit, but he gives us so much in tackling, harrying and closing down the opposition. We're a much more effective side with Luongo playing, I would say..

    Luongo and Freeman were absolutely outstanding last night in different and complimentary ways. Luongo is not a DCM like Scowens or Cameron but he disrupts and breaks up the play , regained the ball, plays simple balls and starts attacks. Freeman is much more creative personally and in the team....but boy does he also harry the opposition too, he has an almighty engine.
    Cousins last night also played like Luongo, he is regaining his form.

    All three were excellent. Whilst Wszolek was excellent in protecting his full back and also wing attack and crossing
    Yes I too also wish he could beat players in a winger mode...but the number of defensive tackles and attacking runs and crosses he put in was outstanding. All 4 were outstanding

    But for those of you who doubt Luongo, please just watch our goal:- the attacking run Luongo put in to the by-line, the cutback for Freeman to backheel/sidefoot into the net was outstanding.

    Sounds like the much maligned hoillet in the play offs effort

    Completely agree .
    Just don't think he's very good with the ball and gives it away far too much.
    Excellent for the goal last night mind.

    In case no-one else bothered to translate it:

    "Welcome Mr.Marcelo Bielsa to those feelings of s**t that often makes me experience the QPR".

    I think we know what he means!

    I thought Luongo had a very good game last night too, his ball winning was exceptional, he set up Freeman for the goal, and volleyed a good shot just over.

    Thanks for posting this. I hope it represents a very major change in our fortunes.

    The ball finally comes off Bamford's arm. Crystal clear hand ball. Normally we drop points to goals like that which should not stand. Long may it continue!!
