Who's this young Aaron ? Don't know much about him prior to last week.

The club are certainly vindicated with their decision to replace Critchley, He didn’t change the formation like Gareth did today or get the boys playing for him like they did today.

Wonderful atmosphere - it was as if we'd won the cup !
Whether the team can play at that intensity every week remains to be seen. The direct method of play takes a bit of getting used to but glad to be without the endless passing between defenders.
A real blood and guts performance, great to see the old Dickie back apart from one suicidal back pass early on and a special mention for Drewe and Ossie.

Yes, no club has ever turned round a bad run of form without sacking the manager. And GA is absolutely reknowned for his tactical innovation.

A great day for everyone, and a good nights kip as well. It will feel even better when we wake up in the morning.

For me, that was the most enjoyable match to attend for a long while. Wasn't it great to see a QPR that actually cared about he result? Not a single poor performance. On the 1st half we should've been 3-0 up, minimum. 2nd half they came back a bit but they never deserved anything. Well done to Rangers, to Gareth and the fans too. Great day. For me, MOM : Drewe. I never want to see Laird in hoops again.

We won, but it was hardly convincing. I don't think we can start singing GA's praises just yet.

I don’t think anyone is getting carried away but how many were wondering where the next point was coming from?

Gareth mixed it up yesterday and got us three points and a clean sheet.

Would like to see Aaron and Armstrong as regular starters next season.
