There were some people on here at half time who should be ashamed at themselves. Complaining when we're drawing 0-0 away at the best team in the division in a game of that importance. Quoting possession stats and moaning because we're not playing like Barcelona. After a terrible run when we have usually been 1-0 down within ten minutes I was super pleased with that and actually thought we could just go on and nick it. Did you moan at Wembley on Bobby Zamora day, which was like Rourke's drift? When we see commitment, determination, people putting bodies on the line to make blocks bloody well applaud it. Great win today, just wish I'd been one of the lucky 500 |  | | |  |

We were awful first half, and could / should have been behind. We were miles better second half and deserved to win. Entirely possible for both those things to be true. Surely there are better things to do in this moment than complain about other QPR fans? | | | |

I said the football was bad in the first half.
I'm quite happy to eat humble pie. |  |

Hold my hands up, I was very negative before the game and during the first half. I was wrong and talking out of my backside. But we’ve all been suffering and it’s a bit much to expect nothing but positivity after the run we’ve been on. |  | | |

Look that first half was painfull and we could have been 3 or 4 down but today was our day for a bit of luck .. fcuk me we deserve it !
Tactics worked today and on another day we would all be moaning why we tried to defend our way to a point while losing 3 or 4 nill
Let’s just take what we can and be happy with that second half performance where we changed tactic and carried out the game plan to perfection for once
I for one an absolutely buzzing off my tits right now |  | | |

No, as much as Burnley are very good, first half we were awful - gave them the wings, too much time, too many chances, 25 completed passes, ffs. Second half, so much better - got tighter, substitutes improved us, carried a threat. Whatever was said at half time, and the substitution, worked very well. But that doesn't make the first half acceptable. | | | |

Secret time, I didn’t watch most of the second half as I’d had enough. Went out and only checked the score when I got home just in time to watch the eight minutes of added time! | | | |

It was 0-0, after what we've seen recently that is not just acceptable it is laudable. | | | |

We weren't great but what it looked like to me was we were just so nervous. You could completely contrast the two teams. Burnley were passing confidently, pushing up. Their goalie ran out to claim corners, crosses and freekicks. We were tentsitve and cautious, camped out in our own half and worried about dropping a clanger. Our goalie was really nervous about leaving his line and being exposed.
Once we scored we looked so much more relaxed and took the game to them much more and looked a better team as a result. |  | | |

qpr were absolutely terrible in the first half. we conceded 10 corners, had 14% possession, 25 completed passes and went in 0-0 thanks to one shot hitting the crossbar and three being cleared off the line by rob dickie. sometimes the ball doesnt hit the back of the net... that was possibly the worst 45 minutes of football of the season, and the score grossly flattered the performance. if we were losing 4-0, there would be nothing to complain about
the second half was better ... we scored a flukey goal against the run of play and were, surprise surprise, better once adomah and drewe came off... credit to the players for playing really well at the end, particularly after they scored their goal
obviously i am delighted (and shocked) we won today
this one performance might keep us up... but it doesnt really erase the shocking run of form since october..... it doesnt erase the fact that the ainsworth appointment was brainless
(note: was going to respond to the barcelona/derby points with some logic, but thinking any response will be lost on you...) | | | |

Its a 46 game season mate - you don't get lucky or unlucky over that time.
Literally our last header of the match v Sheff Utd goes anywhere else, we win.
Dozens of other examples throughout our season. | | | |

Great result - couldn’t have hoped for anything more and going to enjoy tonight. I thought we were incredibly lucky to be level and another day would be 3 or 4 down. BUT tonight I don’t care about that, just so pleased with the 3 points and the results that went for us as well | | | |

Qpr haven’t been unlucky in our poor run
The Sheffield United result was unlucky, no doubt
Arguably we got unlucky against Sunderland in that chair missed a late penalty that would’ve equalised (though we lost 3-0).
The mental thing abt the run is that most of the results have been us losing quite decisively- 4 3-0 losses at home, 6-1 at Blackpool etc etc
All qpr fans should celebrate tonight’s win… but no need to sugarcoat what’s come before | | | |

I'd agree, and congratulate us on our second half performance - we defended better, we attacked in greater numbers, we got tighter to them, we scored 2 good goals. But I'm not being castigated for not being happy about a first half performance where we managed to pass to a team mate about once every 2minutes!
What a win though, what a relief!! | | | |

Agree with all of this.
But if others disagree, then fine - we're all Rangers.
Most importantly, today is a big, big day for our club. Let's not ruin in by infighting, and let's remember the job is not done yet.
We need to stay united. |  |

I agree with your sentiment Dutch but think it's better to be left unsaid and just let the positivity of the win flow
But your call of course and at the same time if you give it out you got to take it
And if we had lost the sensitive souls getting upset at you here would have carried on explaining how they would have managed a team that has barely won a game for the last 14 months to a result against one of the Championships most successful teams. Playing pretty football on their way to preventing Burnley winning the title
Hopefully though that fighting spirit and grit that Ainsworth is trying to build. Effectiveness on set pieces is coming through and there may be more posible days ahead who knows | | | |

At least you've held your hands up, TIV.
GA doesn't get nearly enough credit for picking up on how important the mental side of football is. People too easily forget the dog's abuse he was getting in the early days at Wycombe when they nearly went out of the Football League. To climb from that to promotion to the Championship with literally NO money to spend is a massive achievement, as Wycombe fans will tell you.
As I said on another thread yesterday, if he can achieve that there, why not be hopeful for what he can achieve here with so much more to work with?
It might not happen as quickly as what some people seem to think we have a right to expect, but I believe he will put a smile back on our bigger collective faces - at least as big as the one we've all got tonight. | | | |

Chair and Paul closed Benson down well in the first half, it was Drewe who got a roasting on the left wing.
Under the circumstances I thought that was a great effort today and the subs helped no end. Sinclair was a monster when he came on, plenty of pace and aggression. Scared the Burnley defence to death.
Great to be there and witness the defining game of our season. Not over the line yet, but the improvement continues. | | | |

I understand why people were whinging at half time, although I didn't think it was totally fair. For twenty minutes we were fragile & outplayed. If we had been three down it would not have been undeserved.
Yet, after Harewood-Bellis(?) missed a simple chance, I thought the threat from Burnley mainly disappeared & I was surprised when they finally managed to score. Indeed, in the second half we were more threatening than they were. Playing in their half of the pitch made such a difference.
If I'd been at Burnley, I would have hated the start of the game, but come the interval, I think I might have started to think we were in with a chance. | | | |

It's not exactly whingeing when we quote the real stats from a 1st half, when we were totally outplayed. |  |
