What’s the thoughts today folks on our chances vs Hull. Do you think we can make it 3 wins in a row?

What’s happening with Sinclair Armstrong at the minute? He comes across a s a great asset but we
need to get him scoring consistently. Do you think Marti’s direction will work to get Sinclair fulfilling
his potential?

Great to see the Preston clean sheet. Hoping that we are tightening up at the back in order that one
or two goals scored gives us a shot at picking up 3 points

[Conor Campbell]

Great to see Chair and Willock playing so well

Armstrong’s energy paid off well for second goal

Begovic and co. In defence did very well to achieve a second consecutive clean sheets

Three wins in a row for first time in a long time

2 points off safety and 11 points off a playoff spot

Great to see us playing with confidence with plenty of attacking play

Come on you Rs!

[Tommy Cunningham]

Conor great credit must go to the manager for stopping the rot, the same group of players who got
us in this predicament with previous managers are at last showing signs of getting us out of it.

Willock and Chair now showing their class, a settled defence and the squad being rotated.

2 clean sheets and goals scored in two consecutive victories, the improvement has been remarkable
and hopefully we can strengthen in January. A striker is a must in the transfer window, we have strikers
at QPR who unfortunately are not Championship standard.

A big well done to the manager, coaches and players, for turning a hopeless and desperate situation
around so quickly.

[Steve Russell]

Just back after a few drinks with my mate Declin,
Still absolutely buzzin after that performance.

Make no mistake, Hull are a very good side

Was right behind Chris Willock's superb strike just before half-time.

Thought we were the better side 2nd half & with Sinclair coming on
we certainly rattled them with our pressure & commitment.

Asmir Begovic made some outstanding saves.

Lyndon dropped back into midfield before being subbed.

Great support from the Rangers fans.

Well done to Marti & his players.

[Conor Campbell]

So important that we keep momentum going and keep taking as much points as we
can from upcoming games.

Excellent to see the transformation under MC materialising into points on the board
and a good watch.

As you say, hats off to the manager and his assistants for leading such positive change and
all credit to the team for working to earn these results.

Great to see and so important not to take a visit to League 1.

[Tommy Cunningham]

After watching Marti Cifuentes post match interview, you can’t be anything but impressed
with this guy.

He wasn’t getting carried away with another victory, instead he was looking for more improvement
going forward and how we can be better for the Plymouth game on Wednesday night.

It has to be said that we have been a football club in disarray for a few years now, but the QPR support
have been fantastic throughout an awful period for the club.

Whoever made the decision to appoint Cifuentes at QPR, should be commended for looking further
afield and ignoring the usual unemployed suspects. It’s still very early days but at least we have been
given some hope for the future.

[Steve Russell]

It's that key word Tommy, 'hope'..

Talking to mates pre-match & its "How to you think we'll do today?"

"Tough game against a very good side, but we now have HOPE."

I was also saying yesterday that we've had two decent ref's in successive
home games. James Bell yesterday & for the Stoke game....Mr Lingington

Attendance: 16,967 (1,387 Hull City fans)

[Conor Campbell]

You are very right about the refs Steve. Little to turn about re: referees last couple
of games.

Hull were a good side to beat

Plymouth , although lower in the table, will be no pushover either.
They’ve scored 31 to our 19 and are akin to us at the back.

Again as you say the key word is that we have hope. Let’s hope that our form continues our pilgrimage
to Home Park and helps us push out of bottom 3 and on the way to looking upward as opposed to
downward.

With Leicester and Ipswich we are among top form sides at the minute. No reason not to hope.

It was a good game, and a good performance by the Rs; but I think some of
you are being a bit kind to Hull.
They wasted so many chances - either sent the ball high or wide. I reckon they had just 3 shots on
target all game.
Mind you, they put up a good performance, they were no push-overs.

[steveqpr881]

btw, as I was on my way to the ground, just as I turned into SA Road, I saw a
bloke stood still on the pavement, head bent forward -
he looked like he was in some distress, I thought he might be having a heart attack!
So as I pulled level with him, I asked if he was OK;
"I'm all right Steve, just a bit knackered." - it was Dave Thomas!
Seems he'd come to the Hull game by train (he gave me some long explanation as to why he
couldn't drive, but I'll cut a long story short)
& he was overwhelmed with copies of AKUTRs. Had a backpack & a trolley with another pack of
mags on top.
So I took the trolley & pack, just left Dave with the backpack, until we got to his usual spot.
