    Sterling display again today.

    See him at the end though, applauding the fans! Great spirit. Just what we need. What a guy.

    I get the feeling even if we go down he and Diakite might stay, both had great games as did the eleven...

    I am praying that we stay up not just to guarantee Premier league football but that we can sign Taiwo and Diakite for that matter, Taiwo is a bloody man mountain at the back and he loves it here!!!

    so pleased that we won... but Taiwo... are you sure ??? I bet you that we don't sign him at the end of the season. unless its on a free. don't you wonder why he was let go by Milan after only 3 months.... sorry but still not impressed, prefer Traore, he can't tackle... but he has pace.

    When he was first signed, most on here were amazed by a free kick that somebody posted on this forum. I asked the question "can he defend". I think he has improved steadily since coming and maybe he is still trying to find the pace of the Prem. He is big and quick and IMO will get better and better. I agree he does not offer as much as Traore going forward but it's horses for courses and at the moment we need defenders who can defend. We are fighting for our lives. Its interesting that in recent weeks neither Onuoha nor Taiwo have ventured forward much. Obviously MH is trying to address our defensive problems and it's slowly working.

    He was at Milan for much more than three months. No left back will ever be good enough for them, they had Maldini, the best of all time for nearly 25 years. But he's well good enough for usandmost other Prem teams. I love him.

    Dunno, i think he may have swapped Kelloggs in the morning for some meth! Taiwo has been one of our best players recently and is getting better defensively

    you simply don't understand football if you think Taiwo is a good left back... sorry guys

    He made his debut for Milan in Sept 2011 and was replaced in December 2011.

    Anyone that thinks Taiwo is a good left back is on another planet from most pro footballers. Even Colleymore spotted how bad he is today and that is one of the few times he has saw him.

    Agree with the pro-Taiwo sentiment but its in his loan agreement that if we go down, he has to go back to Italy. He himself has said he doesn't want to and hopes we can stay up, so he can stay.

    But then, we're not going down, are we! We luv you Rangers, we do, oh Rangers we luv you!

    Are you a WUM 76, or just haven't watched recent QPR games?

    Love them both, but how much better have we been at the back since Clint Hill went to CB too.

    Can't agree with you '76. I thought he was immense today.

    on what planet are you on? Taiwo has been our 2nd best defender for the last few games, just after Hill.he loves playing, and how many dangerous situations really did come from our left today... would say none, cuz Taiwo + Taarabt + Hill made sure they won't get through from there
