I've just watched the game on Sky and at the end the commentator says '' Derby County's play-off dreams are fast withering, because QPR take three points towards preserving their place in the Championship for next season. '' Despite us going above Derby. Bizarre.

Plus we are now closer to playoffs (10 points) than relegation (12 points)...guess some will always chose to have a negative perspective.

Excellent! I'll take that to mean that our play-offs must be fast blossuming, and Forest's hopes of preversing their place in the Championship are withering then. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Sky seem to have very poor commentators doing the Championship games.

Back of the net!
Not long back and thawed out enough to post.
What a great game! Truly entertaining footie with some great footie and skill on display.

The lads played with passion and energy. Never gave up and got the deserved win.

Absolutely loved it that it was Eze intercepting Rooney's pass that led to the winner.

None of the QPR lads had a bad game and the play between Eze and Chair for the winner was just a joy.

Long may we progress with this stylish and effective football.
Think we absolutely got away with one last night. I had a great view from Ellerslie rd E80. Derby missed a boat load if chances see here:

Although the stats show they've won more then us in our meetings, I felt we are a bogie team for them. Even leaving aside Wembley, some memorable draws and wins.

How Waghorn missed the chance at the death I cannot fathom. Also Hall was in danger of giving away a pen.

I've watched that last chance a few times now and although he should have hit the target, it was hardly a sitter.

It seems that the youngsters have settled down again after the January transfer window. They (certainly BOS) have been a bit off their trajectory for this season, but now look to be back on focus again. Eze, BOS and Chair making most notable impacts; but it’s good to keep hearing about Ball continuing to make his mark and Manning (despite his critics) continues to strive on. A very optimistic picture as we develop through this season.
 
This result was even more important considering Wigan and Barnsley have won consecutive games. They've managed to haul in quite a few teams like Reading and Charlton who suddenly look vulnerable.
I said 2 weeks ago (when we were playing crap and losing) that the teams down the bottom will start winning at some point and we needed results.
I think we will be okay with 2-3 more wins.

Two natives were running across the Serengeti chased by a lion. Exhausted, one said to the other,"this is crazy, we're never going to outrun a lion." The other man turned to him and said "I'm not trying to outrun the lion. I'm trying to outrun you..."

That's the position at the bottom of the table at present.

Great win against Derby
