    Deffo. We cannot keep shipping goals. A clean sheet should have been an easy achievement today,

    Oh just because we're joint top on goals conceded, however could one reach such a conclusion?

    Indeed. Good result and back to back wins, however scoring 9 and conceding 8 so far although entertaining is playing dangerously! Up to 6th though today...

    6 goals conceded in three games. Still we've managed 7 points. Telling our opponents doesn't matter how many you score, we will outscore you anyway.
    Good old QPR style <party>

    We do!! Our goal difference has been atrocious - anyone at the club who can't see that is blind!! Sort out the defence and quickly - because if certain players leave, our scored column might just slow down

    Twas but a jest, of course the defence needs a lot of work.

    To be fair, we weren't that bad in defence today and one of their goals came directly out of a mistake from the midfield (Faurlin).

    Well i'm taking loads more positives than negatives out of today's game.

    Yeah there will be some changes to team by September, but i'm confident that Chery, Luongo, Faurlin and Onouha are a quality core and some of the best players to make a big difference in what is a low quality league

    Our only defeat has come against Charlton who beat Hull today (a team many have creamed themselves over on this board)

    i thought the same. ned looked assured and Hall didn't look too bad either. Their second was really poor defending by us - not sure who was at fault - but up to that point we looked ok. perch better today i thought, konchesky fairly solid. still need reinforcements at the back though.

    where's yun suk??

    Couldn't be there today as visiting 8 week old grandson in Paris. Hope it was a good atmosphere and particularly delighted with the win on 'Stan Bowles Day'.

    Let's press on Rsss and see if we can do the unimaginable yet again!

    Madness I know but IF we do end up keeping Charlie and Matt then no reason not to make playoffs. Tough old league and a long way to go.

    I do wonder if the fact they're both still here might represent a slight difference of opinion in the boardroom. No IT. Just idle speculation.

    What an excellent day out, with Roller, Stainsey, Terry, Tramore and Nines and various family members at the C&S, a rousing reception for Stan before the game (and during it) and WE TRIED TO PLAY FOOTBALL. The first 2 goals were excellent examples of the game played properly. Long way to go etc but very encouraging signs - fast passing, movement, Green obviously told to get the ball accurately to a player in space so he threw it more in this game than I have seen in the last 4 years combined. Liked the look of Hall, Konchesky much better and more of an outlet than I expected, of everyone only Perch looked dodgy. Polter when he came on is very raw but puts himself about and liked the attitude of trying to take the penalty he won.

    Faurlin was outstanding, great range of passing. He only made two slips unfortunately one leading to the first Rotherham goal, just before he was substituted. He is essential to us playing a decent game, we really need a like for like back up. Not sure which of our other 2 million midfielders offers what he does.

    Rotherham not the strongest opponents, but for those moaning about the two goals conceded, lighten up it's a work in progress and appears to be built on a positive approach. Style is more important than results and league position to QPR fans.

    And it was ****ing hot, I wouldn't fancy running around in that, it was uncomfortable just standing up and watching.

    Hearing a lot of good things about Luongo and Chery, might sneak a visit in October, Bolton could be the one.
