    So, lessee now...Barnsley on 37 with 5 yet to play. Win'em all and that is 52 points - can't catch us so there are at least 3 that will finish beneath us regardless of what we do on the pitch - Championship for another year and it ain't the last day yet either. Why, that's, that' an improvement

    Idrissa Sylla (centre) rounded off a remarkable opening 15 minutes in which QPR scored three times
    A three-goal burst in eight minutes helped QPR to victory over Sheffield Wednesday at Loftus Road.
    Goals from Paul Smyth, Jake Bidwell and Idrissa Sylla within the opening 15 minutes put the game beyond Wednesday.
    Sylla scored QPR's fourth from the penalty spot, before the visitors threatened to make a dramatic comeback.
    Goals from Fernando Forestieri and Atdhe Nuhiu acted solely as a consolation as Wednesday dropped to 17th in the Championship table.

    Go and support Millwall then. They've got some money. We haven't.

    A lot of questions have been asked of Holloway this season. He's doing alright as far as I can see, lots of gutsy performances and a decent team emerging.

    Keep as many as possible of this lot together. Let's do it properly, organically.

    We nearly tried to give it away! But comfortable in the end, 3 goals stunned them in quick succession & also fans at HQ, couldn’t believe what I was watching, onwards & upwards!

    Well! That was fun. I was a bit concerned we would struggle to gel with the change of bodies but anything but.

    Smyth had a lot to do for the 1st and did so well. He has a great engine as they say and I suspect runs a mean 100m.

    Bidwell was calm and composed for the second and provided the cross for an easy header for the third from Sylla.

    The penalty was well taken by Sylla. I felt he did a lot more running than I've seen before which made me wonder if he was in the shop window tonight.

    Wednesday were absolutely woeful in the first half but improved in the second. They and their fans grew in confidence after the second goal. A third world have made for very sqeeky bum time but thankfully that was not to be.

    I'm fully expecting a very unfamiliar team on Saturday. I hope we can hold on to the core of a good team and press on to the playoffs in the next season or three. However, it's the hope that gets to you!

    Two back to back home games scoring four goals, I can't remember the last time that happened. There was complete disbelief in the stadium as we went 3-0 up inside 15 minutes and the ground should've been buzzing. But the team retracted as did the home support as we let Wednesday come on to us and we seemed to be clinging onto the 3-0 to get us to half time. Freeman had a shot well saved from Wildsmith who had a mare in the first fifteen minutes but played a blinder at Fulham by all accounts last Saturday.

    After Sylla's penalty which saw us go 4-0 up we didn't threaten their goal. Wednesday pulled two goals back, Furlong seemed to be at fault for both of them. After singing his praises after the last few weeks he seems to be a liability in his defensive duties. Okay going forward, not so good in the right back slot defending. I like him but he needs coaching and quickly. Ramsey?

    Freeman also seemed to hold onto the ball too much for my liking. There was a pass on but he didn't release it quick enough. I'd certainly take a decent offer on him if it came in and play Scowen and Luongo in the spine of the team with two wide players in a 4-4-2 or a 4-4-1-1 or whatever.

    All in all an enjoyable evening under the lights of Loftus Road, but we still made it difficult for ourselves despite being four goals up!

    Motm ... Paul Smyth - I love the way that he just loves to play football and goes for it. Off your seat entertainment. There was one moment in the first half where he got on the ball with two Wednesday players confronting him, he drew them in and then glided past them to deliver a cross. Great stuff, we should've been four nil up at half time.

    Thats not the point. Why the hell i would support millwall??? I didnt knew they got money to spend. Maybe they also got a great manager. In my opinion holloway isnt good enough for us. Thats it.

    After missing watching this match, as well as the Norwich match on QPR+, I can only conclude that my absence from the matches brings great results.

    I know what I need to do is if we are to push for a play off place next season.

    It seems it was a great performance following the mishap in Hull.

    Well done the R’s!!!
