    QPR hit top gear, slaughtering woeful Reading - Report

    Sunday, 30th Jan 2022 18:56 by Clive Whittingham

    The comfortable win and complete performance fans of high flying Queens Park Rangers have craved arrived in W12 in some style on Saturday, with Reading the hapless victims.


    When Warbs Warburton plays his greatest hits, Fine Margins gives the audience a warm, nostalgic feeling. We’re at home, safe from the threat of the outside world, enveloped in a comfortable familiarity, when our manager is talking about the fine margins of the Championship. His team had won 14 games this season prior to Saturday, ten of them by one goal. Queens Park Rangers score frequently, they’ve failed to do so in only three league games; but hardly prolifically, it had been 19 outings since they last scored more than two in a game and they’d scored one or fewer in 13 of those. A support base daring to dream once more has stood on terraces in Bristol and Birmingham, Coventry and Derby, Cardiff and London W12, agonising through the never-ending closing stages of one-goal wins that have felt like giving birth to a bowling ball, more relief than elation at the end, more traumatic ordeal than pleasant afternoon at the football. Hair has been lost, or greyed, or both. Sweat has been sweated. Arse cheeks have been clenched and unclenched. Games have been watched through barely parted fingers. Positive results just one mistake, refereeing decision, moment of genius, or poor luck, away from turning negative.

    Just watched the highlights on the offy. Our breakaway third goal came from a Reading corner that was headed out from his own six-yard box by Lyndon Dykes, who then sprints the length of the pitch to be in the opposition six-yard box as Amos's shot crosses the line. Impressive speed and mobility.

    Stefan Johansen treating us to a couple of passes and turns around the corner that would have had him immediately crowned Player of the Year here a couple of seasons back, now barely bringing a round of applause from fans so accustomed to this new Rangers and their way of doing things.

    Love it.

    Good to hear how well Amos played, especially his energy, as he always looks a bit ineffective to me. Good for him.
    Field proving to be pivotal.
    Dykes hopefully now full of confidence.
    Willock looking unplayable and let's hope Chair's return doesn't push him into his shell.

    We have a seriously challenging February. Seven games in 22 days and some tough and challenging matches to boot (‘boro at home, Barnsley and ‘wall away then Hull and Blackpool at home with a six-pointer at Blackburn to finish the month). That’s a tough run of games. We’ll certainly have a good idea where we lie after that lot. I guess the rest of the league will be having the same problem but I hope we can keep relatively injury free. There will be a lot of bums squeaking during February that’s for sure!
