Great result but drab game, disappointed with fer but well done Neil in signing off with a win, carry on the good work jimmy.
Faurlin excellent second half IMO. Just hope the management are careful with him. The full-backs both need to go. Preferably somewhere remote like Rotherham but the reserves will do. Phillips won't be striker as long as there's a hole in my arse.
If it's steroid cream can we rub it on Phillips and Hoilett. They might not get knocked over by a stiff breeze then.
To be fair it was a crap match but the way to look at it on here is this IMO Earlier in this season we looked like conceding as soon as we lost the ball When we won the championship by the end the other teams feared us We won even when it looked ****e Same feeling you will all get when we play Burnley and then Brighton we are unsure and I sensed the lack of belief around LR a few years back and it hasn't got any better Its called belief and that builds confidence We are now hard to beat it's official That is a start and the fans who just want wins need to wake up hence my fickle stuff ... It's not personal or arrogant it's just want I feel what a fan base should be and the money and owners have spoilt a lot of our energy ... It's not good enough to just say that is QPR we are wasteful IMO
So I watch my lad's side draw 5-5 in an amazing game (he made two goals - good lad!). Then I go into the clubhouse which has loads of reading fans huddled in front of the tv. Ned misses a sitter and I give away the fact that I'm a Qpr fan as I shriek my head off. Then that last minute goal goes in and I do a lap of honour around the place! Lovely!
All home in on the goalkeeping ....well, I got it spot on, unfortunately from my side that is!! INTERVIEW QUESTION - Stand out performers and weak links in the current team? David: It’s never nice to focus on the weaker points of your team but in all honesty I believe it goes in order of positions; goalkeeping perhaps is the most worrying (a few points have gone there from a blunder or two), then defence, then midfield, whilst the attacking force is the best.

I can't see the Thais hanging round half a season to see if it works or not! Still, it's been a real pleasure on here this week ...
Admittedly I've not seen him play for some time but he was a tremendous keeper a few years ago and I heard he had a great game recently against Bolton. Thought both attacks were pretty dire. The only bit of quality was the free-kick which hit the bar.
Ellers, Mr 9's and Qaulity, great to meet you all Most of all thank you Neil! The crowd sang his name loud and proud at the end A win away a win away! U R's!!!
I'll confess to having wanted Al-habsi over Green in the past. I'm retracting that wish from here on in, what a shocker! Both had brain farts tonight though, Green rushed out to clear and changed his mind leaving Reading in possession, Al-Habsi's just grabbed at thin air when he lost sight of a well placed but fairly soft header. Ned has stepped up the last couple after a patchy spell and it shows, he deserved the mom. Imagine how being beaten by a defence that contains Anton Ferdinand would feel, then feel warm & cosy that you only have to imagine how it feels. Jingle Bells......
Likewise, what a cracking result and a jolly good night. I'm so glad I went now. The Purple Turtles will return!
