Queens Park Rangers 4 v 2 Stoke City EFL Championship Tuesday, 28th November 2023 Kick-off 19:45 |
Geoff78 added 08:50 - Nov 29 Phew! A brilliant last 10 minutes at the end of a game made of sweeping moves, more shots on target than we've managed in months including good chances created by skill and vision, testing their keeper, Illy hitting the post, with added luck and a ref on our side for once, mixed with misplaced passes, feeble tackles, open goals missed, corners hit straight out of play, moments when we seemed to have given up and then brilliance from Larkeche to win a ball after losing it twice, three times before getting the cross in and forcing the OG. Wonderful. I can't analyse Marti's substitutions which were clearly not working until suddenly they were. Is this a sign of a new Rs creating real chances and burying some of them or have we just caught up with all the luck and dodgy decisions in one night? I can't pick a MotM although that moment from Larkeche goes close. More please, Sir. dannyblue added 11:09 - Nov 29 tsbains64 added 11:11 - Nov 29 what a rollercoaster A fine win at last! Great to see such a vocal crowd and loved how fans switched from abject mourning to euphoria Probably the best ref on the circuit but did make a couple of errors AlexWard added 13:23 - Nov 29 When was the last time I left Loftus Road having really enjoyed a game? It must be over a year ago. Yes, Watford was an admirable win but it was hard fought and a game which was more of a battle rather than enjoyable. This had 6 goals, 1 red card, a penalty, an own goal and a few missed chances. Great fun. Marti coming in is an absolute breath of fresh air, there are still the usual QPR issues. Of course we let in a goal when they were down to 10 men. But it was fun, we set up chances, we scored goals. Possibly an unsung hero from that game - Jake Clarke-Salter, I thought he was superb for the 20 mins or so he played , and of course Larkeche for the chaos he prompted in their penalty area...Love it Geoff78 added 13:30 - Nov 29 Phew!

We played some good football at times and you can see the improvements. The team still needs time after a complete u-turn in approach and style. Too many times before we would have seen the team crumble, especially at 2-1 down. But for the first time since I can remember, the team moved up some gears. The subs came on with fire in their bellys (Larkeche made that goal all on his own within seconds of being on), and despite an early worry about Willock being injured - we saw that bit of magic that's been missing for a while. You only had to watch what it meant to him, and the win for the team to know Rangers are back and Loftus Road is going to be rocking again if this continues. The belief that we are staying up is there and going to watch a game feels good and exciting again. Long overdue but long may it continue! brad added 16:08 - Nov 29 Geoff78 added 16:26 - Nov 29 Phew!

Hooping_Mad added 23:09 - Nov 29 Strange match, ref seemed not to hate us with a burning passion which was a welcome change. Even stoke helped us score a goal. Team effort from everyone ;-) Great subs, brave and very welcome.
