Wow, great win for the team.
Didn’t expect that but as some say, we don’t know what team will turn up to play.

Looks like we’re peaking at mid city placement, threatening to go up further!

Bring back the days midfielders could do a bit of everything and run for 90 minutes. Bloody sixes breaking up play and being on the half-turn. Six is a centre-half anyway. Should be called a four.

10 is a fancy flair player. Eight is somewhere in between but is meant to be able to run around quite a lot.

Lyndon Dykes is a 99, I suppose he plays with a Flake sticking out of each ear...

Just watched the ITV show. JS gets tops marks for looking French Chic too (until he puts his warmer jacket on).

We do need better chants for him.

I was surprised it took well into the second half before Lampard started getting abuse directed at him.

That's their 8th consecutive defeat on the road so, although we didnt thrash them, it adds to the sweet revenge feeling for that game.

Great win today. Good performances all over the pitch. I can see Madsen going to a Prem club for an eight figure sum next season. Probably Spurs or the like. I'd say he's worth £20m?

The boys done well. He faced his demons and worked at his game with support from his manager and has come good. Keep adding a few more goals to his game and he will have scouts queuing up to see him.

Fair enough Strolls, but he was dire last season - wonder if the incredibly cautious Cifuentes contributed to that. Likewise good to see you seeing the good in Kone. He’s not the most subtle and the ball doesn’t stick to him the way you want from a great number 9 but he’s full of heart, is a genuine pest and he actually scores goals. When I think of the last 3 in that position I think we should be pretty happy. When Burrell is back to take some of the load he’ll have an easier time as well.

Last season, I was adamant that Madsen had a good player in him and quite a fair few people here more or less called me blind or stupid. But by that time he'd already become the Karl Henry of 2024/25.

R.e Kone, I think a few of Burrell's goals came about due to good work from Kone, if not a direct assist. He's also cleared a number of corners and long throws into the box, which is a part of his game too.

I'm not getting involved in the Madsen debate as I didn't contribute last season. Just glad to see that he has got over it. What I will say however is that as a group of fans we are no better than most other fans in that we jump on players backs all the time. Kone was fabulous yesterday but I'm sure if he fails score against Charlton on Friday night some will be calling for the return of Lyndon Dykes. Probably the ones who were most vocal about his failure to score more goals Once again. the tone of the contributions on the matchday thread proves the point as does the vitriol directed at Fat Frank on the BBC website report from some of Coventry's so-called fans.

Yes, Madsen was poor for most of last season, but not nearly as poor as some on here would have had us believe. I seem to recall one poster claiming that he wasn't entitled to call himself a professional footballer. He's proved this season what a good player he is and yes, maybe Cifuentes should take some blame for not getting the best out of him. Clive Whittingham, in his review of the Leicester home game, hinted that Madsen and Cifuentes didn't get along and that Madsen had been itching get one over on Marti.

Kone was excellent yesterday, running himself almost into the ground, which suggests improved fitness. His goal was richly deserved.

The antidote – Report - Queens Park Rangers News

QPR banished memories of Wrexham and avenged their 7-1 loss at Coventry City earlier in the season in fine style on Saturday, beating Frank Lampard’s table toppers at Loftus Road casting a promotion that looked absolutely certain at one point into further doubt.

Think he wrote this just for you Stroller...

There are few redemption arcs as steep and pronounced as Madsen’s. Even a few weeks ago, in one of my more grumpy moments, I’d said the hype was a bit much as he’d simply improved to decent and adequate and it just looked so dramatic because he’d been such complete dog **** last season. Well, he’s been making me eat those words (pleasant image) since. Madsen is frequently the best QPR player in the team, and quite often the best player on the pitch full stop. Difficult to see the club’s player of the year award going anywhere else at this stage, and if you’d said that last May you’d have been taken away to the funny farm and forced to watch his ‘efforts’ in a 4-1 home defeat to Boro on a loop.

Was a lovely and quite rare moment with the first goal as there was no anticipation of it happening. You get great moments like the winner against Birmingham but you know when Morgan lines it up it might go in. At best as Madsen played the pass in you’re hoping Kone can hold onto it and someone will be there for a pass then half a second later it’s in the corner and you’re simultaneously assaulting and being assaulted by everyone within reach.
