Buzsaky is back in business Akos Buzsaky contemplated walking out of QPR at the start of this month - but is now looking forward to a prolonged run under Mark Hughes. Buzsaky received a huge standing ovation when he came off towards the end of Saturday's 3-1 win over Wigan after playing a big part in orchestrating the Latics' downfall. The Hungarian put QPR 2-0 up after Heidar Helguson's spot-kick with an exquisite free-kick on the stroke of half-time, and he could have ended the match with a hat-trick had it not been for the brilliant performance of Wigan goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi. Had it not been for a change of manager, and an injury to team-mate Alejandro Faurlin, however, Buzsaky may have been lining up for another team. The 29-year-old had hit rock bottom after being frozen out by former manager Neil Warnock - Saturday was his first home league start of the season - and had thought about leaving the Londoners. "In the Christmas period I wasn't even travelling with the team," Buzsaky said. "That was a really hard, testing time for me, to be as low (as that). "Of course I thought about maybe moving. When you are sidelined that much you think about everything because I wanted to play football. "I tried to give 100 per cent in training but for some reason I wasn't in the plans." With Faurlin out for the rest of the season, Buzsaky is now determined to put the past behind him and be a part of the Rangers renaissance under Hughes. "All that is in the past now. I have been there and I have shown that I am strong enough to get through it," he said. "It was very unfortunate (Faurlin) had the injury. "Everyone thought of him and we have tried to support him. We needed someone to fill his position and I have always been available and have always wanted to play so now I have my chance and I want to take it." Hughes has been active in his pursuit of new players since his appointment, with Nedum Onuoha, Taye Taiwo, Alex and Henrique all in talks with the club over potential moves to Loftus Road. His players did their best to persuade him no new arrivals are needed, however. Helguson, despite missing a second-half penalty, put in a good shift up front and substitute Tommy Smith fired home a memorable 25-yard drive with 10 minutes to go to seal the win. Rangers are now two points clear of the drop zone and Buzsaky thinks the club can stop worrying about the prospect of relegation. "Today showed that we are better than where we sit in the table and we have to push forward now," he said. "With the players we have, we shouldn't talk about surviving, we should be confident about finishing mid-table." Bottom side Wigan wasted two early chances to go ahead through Steve Gohouri and Victor Moses and other than picking the ball out of the net from Hugo Rodallega's free-kick - which made it 2-1 - Rangers keeper Paddy Kenny had a quiet day. Wigan have the worst scoring record in the top four divisions but manager Roberto Martinez admits he will not be able to bring in a prolific striker this month so he wants his team to start chipping in with more goals from all positions. "That 20 goals a season man is the hardest thing is to find in world football," Martinez said. "They cost you a lot of money. We need to be creative and need to score more goals from other areas of the pitch. "That's something we need to develop from within the squad because unfortunately we won't be able to go out and spend the money that a clinical goal scorer costs." http://www.teamtalk.com/queens-park-rangers/7448840/Buzsaky-is-back-in-business? Very happy for Akos, long may it continue.
Good article. Nice one Norway. Keep giving it some like you did yesterday Buz and the position's your's mate.
Far better all round player than Faurlin, sorry chaps I know he is reverred on this board but I just cant take to this guy. Nice bloke and all that but just doesn't do enough and his shooting is dire
He is the best ball winner in the league. You need both a Faurlin and Buz type in central midfield but obviously only 1 of those players gets the glory but both jobs are equally as important as each other.
Go Buzz! A joy to see him in action again and improving with each outing. I'm afraid it is hard to see how Sir Neil managed Buzz well.
Not sure Buzz quite has Ali's excellent reading of the game and distribution, although that side of Buzz's game looked good on Sat. What he does have over Ali is an accurate and venomous shot, which again, we saw on Saturday.
