Well it didn't start too well. No one told me it was an 8o'clock kick off. So consolled myself with a of Bovril....eventually the QPR faithful came to join me....and we seemed to fill our end. Songs of " your grounds too big for you" was certainly true last night.also they have the most annoying middle class toffy- voiced announcer, contrary to reports they did announce our team, but only once a long time before the match.
Got to say we started like a train, and Eze should have scored in first 5 minutes.
We really dominated the first half. Really do not think they had any shot on goal. Where we had quite a few, but there was certainly that feeling that our team just could not score.. made for a nervous half time.
But we continued where we left off, and a period of intense pressure after a corner led to captain courageous slotting the ball home. Then of course we retreated in to our shell and let them come onto US. Think 999s has forgotten there main threat when a mazy run through our defence the forward shot perfectly passed Lumley to see it rebound to Lynch to hack it away...the shot from the resulting corner also skimmed (the outside) of the post.
So who played well...everyone. The full backs had problems later on...as they did not really have cover. Luongo did well as did Cameron. Exe was quiet... Cousins is the interesting . I see why Steeve likes him. He was really busy, but he does make a lot of mistakes, and that is what the fans pick up on..
The BFG and Lynch led by example yesterday. They were my MOTM.
For a match I was dreading. It all turned rather well. Except for this mornings headache....it must have been the Bovril
