6pm QPR

That performance last night had everything.Some superb attacking football,especially that 1st half,which resulted in us creating some great chances and we should've had more goals to show for it.Even in the 2nd half,when QPR were on top,we created some brilliant opportunities to add to our tally.
We pressed them throughout and showed a great appetite for the game.The sheer belief,spirit,fight and determination to get the win,especially when QPR were on top that 2nd half was brilliant to see and epitomises everything this wonderful club is all about!
The players have to try and concentrate the best they can on just taking each game at a time and try and stay focused and hopefully all this b******* that is happening outside of their control will be taken care of and sorted out.We've seen throughout this season we can beat any team in this division (apart from maybe Brentford who I believe are the best of the lot).
I can't emphasise how important that win was last night to lift everyones spirits at the club after the disgusting predicament we have found ourselves in.That win will also give us some momentum going into another huge game at Barnsley on Saturday.
Keep fighting and believing everyone!Up the tics!

There is only one thing worrying me about last night, that being the way we appeared to be out on our feet in the second half. After a brilliant first half we just stopped playing completely and everyone bar Jedi looked as though the legs had gone. Massive win though and so proud of every one of them. ( Great save by Marshall as well )
I'd take it further than that, we are now a good team, with some great players and a coherant way of playing - we finally cracked it. We've been all over the place in the Championship for the vast majority of our time since we left the prem but we've finally got our act together and it's immedietely all at risk due to this. The timing is horrific, there was never a good time for it but if this happened when we were crap at least it wouldn't have undone all of our good work.
Personally I don't entirely subscribe to the "run out of steam" theory for the second half performance. I think some credit should go to Warburton and the QPR players who upped their game.
They changed the system at half time and pushed up a good five yards with more effort to get forward, this left them weak at the back and we nearly exploited this on a couple of occasions, Jamal's run and shot being a case in point.
True one or two players gave their all and looked out on their feet as they left the pitch at full time, but both Robinson and Byrne still looked full of running. A credit to the fitness coaches and to the players themselves for the work they must have put in whilst in lockdown to maintain that level of fitness.
All we can ask is that the players give their all for the remaining four games and we the supporters do our part by getting behind them in whatever way we can.
C'mon you heroes. Up the Tic's.

Well between the months of August and January there was some pretty awful management decisions made with swapping and changing, poor substitutions and negative football along with some dire performances as a team and individually.
No matter how together the fans had been through that period it wouldn't have made one bit of difference. Thankfully like last season when we were looking odds on for relegation things started changing. Maybe that's why you can't have everything.

I agree i think the second half was more a tactical switch rather than us running out of gas. Maybe also a bit of panic on our behalf too as we responded to the increase in pressure by looking to play it out less and just go safety first clerances.
There may have been some degree of tired legs, but as the second half went on we regained control towards the end rather than fading further and losing more control.
