    Well my favorite comments of the game was just as the half time whistle blew, someone said well st least it isn't that cold....Very disappointing first half, I expected more, from the attacking selection, they did well to stifle the game. Thought we could have made a formation change after half time in a attempt to mix things up as it wasn't working but still second and if we are there or there abouts in Jan I'll start saving to the ticket price increases.

    We could have had a little cushion coming up to some difficult games now we really need to get something at Blackpool

    One thing I will take away from the game - 4-4-2 is certainly not the way to go.

    I trust in Harold today to pick the right team for this task and however we get back to the top tier I don't care ... we are not losing and look very solid. Yes we are a bit flat and boring at times but its a foundation that i think no of us can deny. There is a job to be done all i can do is support that

    I maintain we will be 10 points clear come the end when it matters

    Not sure if we ever played Bobby Zamora + Rob Hulse together in a 4-4-2?

    QPR v Wolverhampton Wanderers – Hughes Gets the Blues as Cisse Sees Red
    Posted on February 7, 2012 by Site Admin

    "Mick McCarthy’s Wolves won their first league match since the first week of November by coming back from a goal behind against ten-man QPR at Loftus Road. Second-half goals from Matt Jarvis and substitute Kevin Doyle may have relieved the pressure on McCarthy, but he owes a huge dollop of gratitude to QPR’s new signing Djibril Cisse who was red-carded just after the half-hour mark for serious foul play allegedly following a pub football challenge from Roger Johnson. It was the turning point in the game as up until then QPR had played the visitors off the park and the home fans were left to rue what might have been.

    Mark Hughes made two changes to the side that battled to a well earned point midweek at Villa Park. In came new signing Bobby Zamora at the expense of Rob Hulse, to partner Cisse upfront while in midfield Adel Taarabt, back from international duty in the African Cup of Nations, replaced Mackie in wide midfield. The midfield foursome was completed with Derry and Barton in the centre and Wright-Phillips out wide. New signings Onuoha and Taiwo were making home debuts in defence alongside Ferdinand and Young with Kenny between the sticks."

    "Mark Hughes made his final change with Rob Hulse replacing goal scorer Bobby Zamora."

    "For the remaining 20 minutes, it was the ‘Adel Taarabt Show’ as he single-handedly tore the Wolves defence apart, time and time again to no avail."
