QPR v Blackburn | Match Thread

Incredible the position we are in. We could easily be in the mix considering the two losses prior to today. Any chance Edwards sign permanent?

Ronnie was immense , as said motm.
Smyth and Frey great work rate.
Chair just needs to score , snatched at his chances in the 1st .
Much better team with JD in the team .

Great win, very tight between 5th and 14th. Anything can happen just need to keep on winning and putting points on the board. Ronnie Edwards is a future England International (don’t think that is too farfetched to say IMO) has a very calming influence on the game and when he’s on the ball the game plays to his pace. Onto Cov next week.

I wouldn't go that far, was very positive and energetic but peppered with bits of loose sloppiness too. Thought it was impressive how we maintained a shape and intensity throughout 95 minutes by dint of subs slotting in nicely whereas Rovers noticeably wilted and became disjointed after their subs came on. We have a bit of depth to the match day squad it seems.

It was a great game to watch, hopefully that dire walking football of ours from September/October has well and truly been deleted from Marti's playbook now. We are at our best when we keep the pace up. Fair play to Rovers for wanting to get on with the game too - I'm guessing that game must have been well up the "minutes in play" stats.

Great post. Sums our situation up perfectly

Credit to Blackburn too for also just wanting to play football no play acting diving around played some half decent stuff as soon as ball went out of play it was bang straight back into it

Good nights entertainment one of the better games this season

Edwards probably MOTM, I think people tend to forget Nardi because he just goes about his business, 3 saves last night again that keep us in charge, he’s been a revelation for us, since he came, and people forget about him, probably will end up player of the year,

I think nardi is the best keeper in the league.

I must hold my hands up and admit I didn't particularly rate Nardi for the first few months of the season, but the last 2-3 months he has been outstanding. Great shot stopper, positional sense and commands his box most of time (notice he is punching the ball loads less than when he first came here).

I guess that sums up how a lot of us feel about him, is what I think anyway. Have to say I wish he'd catch it a bit more and aggressively "clear house" for anything in 6yd box but I'm a dinosaur and all goalies seem to prefer punching/parrying nowadays and be quite cautious about leaving their line to come and claim stuff so I suppose he's a typical modern keeper. One thing, it definitely takes a fine strike to beat him - he doesn't hand out gifts.
