Know what you mean but I'll take any small kernel of joy at the moment. I'll take stodgy performances if we can still manage to nick points, for now at least.
the difference was taking our chances, I didn't think we played as well as stoke especially when Smyth went off 2nd half, no attacking outlet at all, we rode our luck and have a very good keeper. A good goalscorer can do nothing all game and still win us matches though, I'm so pleased for the lad, hope he kicks on
3 PTS is welcome anytime but apart from taking 2 of our chances, I didn't see anything else that makes me believe we won't go back to losing on Saturday. I would love to be wrong of course.
We could play well at Watford and lose. They’re a good team at home and they’ve had an extra day to recover without travel. Just go there with the pressure slightly off and have a go with whoever doesn’t get injured this week.
Since Marti blatantly refuses to play 2 up top and instead uses MADSEN to support as a no 10 where he doesn't really do anything, I would love to see Saito play there. He has tight control, can turn in tight spaces and can draw players in. MADSEN on the other hand, turns like a bus, has a top speed of a crippled sloth and just pretends he's going to make a tackle.
Ahhhh, l beg to differ my friend, in fact, l'm certain, with this win behind us, we'll be challenging for the automatic promotion places and l'll be darned if we don't make a fist of it securing top spot. I can see clearly now and the the rain has gone, l can see all the other teams that were in our way. Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind, its going to be bright, bright .......... bright sunny season for QPR!
More importantly we are back within striking distance of the teams destined to be hovering around the relegation zone come May
Yeah, we have slightly less of a gap than we did last year when Cifuentes arrived. Does this mean he has improved us? Sadly, while last night was fun and surprising, I woke up to cold reality this morning and am absolutely sick of hoping that we avoid relegation and regarding that as a good season.
Thanks Sooper. I try to go to the midweek away games when i can. Love being in the minority when we win - creates a real sense of togetherness amongst the supporters. Of course, i've seen my fair share of losses on a wet Wednesday night but last night was sooper special - it felt like Marti's job was on the line if we lost, support for Celar was dwindling to the point of being non-existant and we were becoming further adrift at the foot of the table - therefore to win and see Celar score just made it extra special - more so than most other less meaningful wins. I did sense that the team is really pulling together. I kept my eyes on Cooke as the ref blew the final whistle and he punched the air as if he'd just won a cup final - i could literally feel the relief exuding from the team. It was pure joy for every QPR player/fan there and i'm just glad i was able to be part of it.
Great to win but we remain very firmly relegation candidates so being not too far adrift is critical as we're likely to get a min run at some stage. A point at Watford would be amazing. A win, unimaginable!

I would agree with Saito playing there but "tight control" and Saito cannot be used in the same sentence. Love his enthusiasm though, and anyone that can smile continually whilst playing for the mighty hoops gets my vote all day long
