Late night in wellington Forgot about the game Saw the last five minutes on steelsy+ when I finally got out of bed this morning Fantastic result
Just on way back. Beale won us that match. It looked as though we had lost control of the match. But Micky B....takes off Field and moves Tim5vowels back into his position. Goes 3 at the back. Replaces the midfield and we immediately take back control. Tim5vowels drives into the area and is taken down, definitely a penalty There was not a glimmer of doubt in Dykes penalty, even after the Reading player had tried to scuff the penalty spot... So glad for Dykes... And Kakay again came on and immediately made the goal. He may not be technically as good as Laird, but he gives everything all the time. Can't ask more than that. He was good today, so pleased for him too. I wanted 4 points from these 3 matches...I cannot believe we got 9. What a team. What a manager
That's one of the most positive things about us, our depth. Still a tad dodgy if Paal gets injured but it strong everywhere else.
I agree Beth. Beale won that game and I can't remember the last time or even anytime I've said that about a manager.
Couldn't believe Dykes didn't blast the pen down the middle like usual. Very cool and just what was needed.
I hope Beale has been weaving his magic spells in training with Hamalamadingdong and he's gonna be the reborn as the Jordi Alba of Loftus Road at LB if he's needed
Attendance tonight was 16656, lovely. Hopefully we can maintain that at home and get some full houses aswell. You could really hear the difference tonight and I'm sure the players felt it too !
Another big win - 9 points in a week! Massive balls shown by Dykes stepping up for the pen under huge pressure, really pleased for him. I was calling for Tim to be subbed, but I was proved wrong as he did really well to win our pen. Only making up for giving the ball away leading to their pen, though. First proper look I've had of Clarke-Salter, who looks class. We were trying to pick a MOM on the way home and decided everyone got a 7. Dykes gets it for his goals.
I had a good feeling about Beale and so far he is really impressing. Comes across as a decent man that the players respect and really knows his stuff. I’m starting to worry someone is going to come and pinch him.
Not long back. Tonight was a night of 'Bests'. 1.Best atmosphere at HQ for a very long time. Can't believe it was nearly full on a Friday when on Sky. Well done the fans. 2. Best 11 put out by the best manager we've had in a very long time too. 3. Best cross by Kakay thus far in his career. 4. Best brace for Lyndon 'The Best on Earth' Dykes and Best birthday too. 5. Best bossing of another team for a lot of the game. 6. Best position to be in going into Saturday in an unassailable 3rd position. 7. Best performance under the lights and in front of Sky cameras. Night all. Fantastic night to be a QPR fan.
Posted at 1:00 pm today, never in doubt. Just got back, someone asked why boo toilet, I was in Cardiff when that little twat scored against us, he ran out of his way to celebrate in front of the Rangers fans, that’s why he got booed. I see praise for Kakay but he gave the ball away so much. Great lively game and a great team performance and a win, but the highlight was on the tube with (and fair play to them) noisy Reading fan singing about the “Berkshire Boys”, rather camp I thought.
Richards is back in training I hear. Yes I thought we missed Willock. Dykes stepped up with his goals but have to say I didnt think Chair and especially Roberts did. Tim apart from a couple of mistakes one leading up to and possibly giving way the pen, had his best game for us yet I thought. We did well defensively again, Seny and JCS in particular. Hope Willock and Laird are back soon, both are key players for us.
Recorded the game and just finished watching. **** me we've really got something here haven't we? Chuffed for Lyndon, pressure was even greater with Willock out, balls of ****ing steel taking that pen.
