Very impressed with the fitness of Faurlin Derry and Routledge.
Faurlins passing was faultless.
Qpr was a little unfortunate with the last man issue and i think Hogan deserved the red.Good team effort which showed a lot of character.Kenny made good saves but he would be expected to make those saves.
Taraabt is starting to know when to release the ball to his team members - a big club will come in for him so we must accept his presence as short term only.
The only negatives was Hogans lack of discipline and at times Bradleys passing was poor.

However, the link up play was good and the defending was excellent.The fitness coach should be given a bonus this week because Reading look like the team with ten men.

Agree that Faurlin was the 'man of the match', can see why on tv they gave it to Routledge, the goal (so shallow ;-).
The team played very well overall, still don't understand why Hulse is having problems settling in, missed a good chance to score with a header early on. I never felt we would lose the game from the start, though.
Great to have another 3 points, and the double over the fake hoops, with only 10 men for over 50% of each match. U Rs!!

Fantastic feeling last night! Ever so proud of our beloved team.
Agree Faurlin was brilliant, but i'm backing Sky for the MOM. Routledge deserves it, the goal of course tipping it in his favour, which by no means was an easy one, well taken and credit to Faurlin for a perfectly weighted pass. But what really impressed me and why i believe he deserved it the most was his tracking back and the cover he gave Orr, together they had McAnuff under controll throughout.

Lets hope that we get some results going our way before Forest next sunday :-)

Fantastic result. I thought Hill had a good game too, especially after being booked so early on. Great to see the team going for the win at 10-man (again). Faurlin was excellent, and it's a real boost to have Taarbs and Routledge giving us options up front. If Hulse could only remember how to score, we'd be laughing even more than we are now.

Great to see Routledge & Taraabt linking well that will even get better. I must miss something with Hulse, Cant believe he plays in front of Ishmael .

We did not play well and defensively I have seen better from a pub team. We have got to get this sorted out as everyone around us keeps winning - home or away

I'm hoping not to sound too much like a stuck record, but the ref was truly useless. He missed so many pushes, etc., as well as giving several free kicks in the second half that neither side were expecting. I had the misfortune to sit with the Reading fans, and was thoroughly irritated by their constant braying for free kicks and bookings as their men once again hit the deck under strong - but not dirty - challenges. It was the same last year, and the same at Loftus Road. It is a tactic they seem to employ against the R's, knowing that it is their team's only chance of beating us. Such a well deserved result!! :-)

Rather a poor first half with little to remember apart from Dale having two good attempts compared to Rovers one. The rest was pretty forgettable.

The second half was better but neither team appeared to threaten too much until the first goal and the sending off. Dale then allowed Rover's best player too much time on the ball.

The management did change the formation and go 442 to a greater effect. This resulted in Dale scoring two goals in injury time. The first was heavily contested by the player stood on the line who insisted that Akpro (guilty of a bad miss earlier) was offside. as Rovers attempted to equalise they were ripped to shreads by Done who finished well
