leics played well, it was a good game and we won, despite maybe ,them the better chances
however i felt we stayed with it and were patient..miller and smith should've been on earlier but the 1-0 win was crucial as results went our way.

For me Paddy Kenney and Wayne Routledge share MOM for this one. Paddy's save from the lob was world class and got loads of fans on their feet applauding and Wayne was outstanding in his terrier like defending and despite being one of the shortest players on the pitch was often seen heading the ball to safety. In the case of Paddy without three good saves and Wayne's pass to Miller we would not have won this game.

Leicester were as good as I expected them to be and bossed large parts of this game. Our performance in holding them off was superb although like most I agree Mat Conolly looked below par. This performance was even better when considering large numbers of the players had been unable to train due to illness.

It was noticeable that Taarabt was suffering from blind side shirt tugging and ankle taps every time he got near the ball often not enough to give a free kick for but enough to put him off the best of his play. Bruma was particularly good at this and had a good game resulting in the AT threat being just about nullified. Adel would benefit from powering through these niggles a bit more, rather than appealing to refs for free kicks that don't often get given. This why Miller was such an inspired substitution as the two defenders on him tried it on just outside the box, but he powered through and scored.

I would like to see Ali Faulin given some of the free kicks as often I think AT gets wound up so much before he takes them that they go completely wrong as happened at least once in this game.

It was a great game of football despite having only one goal and I think right up to ten minutes to go either side and their supporters would have been happy with a draw, so this was a very good win. I don't agree with those who say this was not a good performance from QPR, our attackers spent a great deal of time supporting the defence which made it difficult for the free flowing football some say is more attractive to watch. This was two sides evenly matched, at the top of their game almost cancelling each other out and for us to get 3 points from it is superb.

Qpr seemed like they were not at their best,but in truth they grinded out a result against top quality opposition,who have quality and power throughout.
It got more tense as the game went on,they passed well,with Yakubu in particular a constant threat.
But the Rs were constantly snapping at their heels,with Faurlin showing he is not just a flair player,but really can get stuck in as well,he was as superb as ever,just not from his usual passing game.
Yes i would love to have seen us pass Leicester off the pitch,
which we are capable of,but all credit to Leicester for not letting us do that.
Yes,I was screaming at Warnock to get Miller on,for some power of our own! Thought he left it too late,but credit to the great man again,he didn't!!
Great game with a great goal for the birthday boy Miller,to round off three crucial points for the Superhoopsa!!

Millwall did their Homework on QPR they marked Tarrabt out of the game and the same with Routledge we had nothing up front with just Helguson i think warnock never plays 4-4-2 .well done to Millwall

Well, you have to lose some time, and Swansea and Cardiff only got a point between them. Good win for Norwich at Leicester, but we're still 7 clear so the night hasn't undone all the good work from Saturday. Really need to do the job against Palace on Saturday though.

Some excellent football in parts and some of the worst passing I have seen from certain Saints players. Thank goodness for Barney, Lallana and Chamberlain.

Another game where I'm reduced to looking at the live text updates on my phone in between badminton games. Just when I was beginning to think a 0-0 wouldn't be too bad, they scored with a penalty shortly after. I think the game on Saturday took a lot out of them and its probably that which led to loss of concentration by our defenders. Gorks lack of pace probably meant he was never going to get on the ball over the top once it had passed him and we were probably asking too much of Danny to play 90 minutes in two matches in 3 days after just coming back in. I probably shouldn't comment when I didn't actually see this game, but we are lucky not to have been the only ones in at the top to lose points. We need to be on top form on Saturday for the visit of a resurgent Palace where we will need all three points to keep our distance from the pretenders to our crown.

Thought we played some good stuff at times, It is becomming clear that Liam Dickinson is NOT the real deal!!!!! Used more as a traget man during this game the bloke does not look sharp enough for me?? Pilkington injury looked horrendous and i wish the bloke all the best in his recovery. Onwards and upwards now, time to put 2 defeats behind us and give Exeter a good hiding on Saturday. UP THE DALE!!!!

Team didn't play well and Millwall probably deserved it but all of that is insignificant when you consider the Millwall fans behaviour and how away fans are treated. How can this club continue to be allowed to play in the football league? How many police were on duty at the stadium and London Bridge, who pays for them, who allows the home fans to practically tear down the gate behind which the away supporter are caged in, who allows these people to throw anything to hand at the away supporters, who allows objects to be thrown at substitutes warming up, who allows the home fans in each corner to behave like animals and constantly taunt and abuse opposition players and supporters and stand throughout the match, who allows the ground to still be open after reports of bottle and coin throwing at the previous two games? All the quotes about a small minority and all the good work the club has done is absolute b******s. You can go to almost any other ground in the country and not have to put up with this - why are they allowed to constantly get away with it and are probably taking a large chunk of their policing costs out of the my council tax to pay for it all.
