Match Day Thread QPR v Brentford

QPR comfortably win, Warnock gets a great point as Derby bottle it and Fulham creep towards relegation. If Chelsea could get beat it would make for a fine day.

 

Hasselbaink is useless. Sack him!

 

Yep it's on now
5 goals 2 clean sheets
That could be the start of form
9 points away
27 available
Preston and Cardiff to play
Why not?

 

Will be very happy if we finish top 8 outside the play offs and ready to give it a serious go next season, we're building. There will be more days like today along the way and some like the mk Dons and Fulham to come! We are QPR we are QPR

 

Really enjoyed that
Great afternoon of sport- battering Wales in the rugby too!

 

What a great come back by Rotherham and Warnock magic. Yes, Fulham are in trouble, they have scored 56 goals this season (2nd highest - Burnley 60), 7 past us in 2 wins, but have conceded 63. On present form, Rotherham & MK Dons could send them down.

 

We were before today's games started weren't we. Now with Sheffield winning we have 1 less game to catch up.

Junior Hoilett scored his sixth Championship goal of the season

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink recorded his first back-to-back wins as QPR boss with a comfortable win over Brentford.

Junior Hoilett opened the scoring by unleashing an unstoppable effort from the edge of the box.

QPR's lead was doubled when Tjaronn Chery's perfectly-weighted ball found Sebastian Polter, who slotted underneath David Button.

Chery secured the three points shortly after with a composed finish, his fourth goal in four Loftus Road games.

The Rs remain in 11th despite their west London derby win, while the Bees stay 17th.

Brentford's best chance came straight after Hoilett's opener, but Ryan Woods' fierce strike from long range struck the base of the post.

Former centre-back Dean Smith will be concerned with his Brentford side's defence, which has now conceded 12 in the last four away games.

The result sees QPR win three home games in a row for the first time since 2014.

If only we'd shown up at MK Dons. Birmingham, 4 pts ahead (54 pts) have 2 games in hand, and Ipswich (55 pts) a game in hand.

 

Michael Doughty scores yet another goal and secures a late point for Swindon.

90'+4' Goal! Swindon Town 2, Millwall 2. Michael Doughty (Swindon Town) header from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner. Assisted by Bradley Barry.

Thanks a lot. Enjoyed watching. Great goal by Hoilett and the other two weren't bad either.

 

My pleasure, lovely pass from Ale Faurlin for Chery's goal (and beautifully taken on the run) and a cracking save from Alex Smithies to keep the clean sheet too

 

Fantastic all round. Hoillet's goal was a cracker. Spring is here. Rangers are back.

 

Great result and performance, some excellent play and confidence rising. Where are the sack JFH mob now? A vintage display from Ale and how long have we waited for a Junior top corner special? If we can start playing like this away from home we'll have really turned the corner...

 

It's only the 467th time he's tried that exact shot so I'm delighted one has gone in.

 

Unfortunately here in Canada content is not available - I thought that was the case in Ireland too?

 

The day gets even better, Lukaku with a stunning solo goal against the Scum who sold him...

 

WE are still about although i cannot recall saying 'sack him' i just said i didn't think he was the right fit and we should have stayed with NW.
But i will stick by my words and let's hope all the happy clappers stay by him even when things go bad, However, i saw how people turned on Benny after things went wrong for him. I also remember all the 2 faced lot who didn't want Derry and called clint 'over the Hill' when they signed i said they would do a good job and they did.
Anyway
Played well again against a poor Brentford side. I thought Henry did really well. Polter again shows commitment and took his goal well although he really does lack skill. Ref should have let a derby flow a bit more.
The one real talking point should be how 'Clappy Mackie' can get on before Washington? what does that say?
Happy again just a shame we could put some results together in his first 15 games.

 

Haven't seen the game but supposed Mackie was brought on to close down their CB's and limit their ability to build anything late on when we just wanted to close out the game?
