That was a superb night out in absolutely baltic conditions. Another away day for me and another win!

I don’t know how we went in at Half Time in front, but it’s about time we nicked a goal against the run of play and get undeserved leads as so many have gone against us. However the second half was superb. Brights goal was a thing of absolute beauty that pretty much killed Birmingham off. We even had other chances after that, so the score line could’ve been even greater.

All that superb entertainment for only £10, and a win on Sky. What more could you ask for!

Oh, and the Birmingham supporters are still an unusual breed of person. Some things will never change!

You may put this down to your attendance ranger-boy but I am sure it is my socks! I wore the same ones at the stadium on saturday and we won both games two nil - just saying....

Your comments about treating opponents such that we exploit them has echoes in what I was thinking: Last season we often had possession only to lose games because we could not finish and gave away easy goals. Despite the change of style, this did continue to some extent this season, but now we are the team absorbing assaults and counter-attacking successfully. The stats for last night show we can absorb pressure (Possession, Shots & Passes) to take games away from our opponents:
Birmingham QPR
16 Shots 6
2 Shots on Target 2
57% Possession 43%
465 Passes 373
77% Pass Accuracy 73%
15 Fouls 15

Post Birmingham Stats

The 2-0 win over Birmingham moves us back into the top half in 12th place on 31 points.

It also moves us back above the position we were in this time last season when we sat 14th on 28 points.

5 away wins in 10 away games this season equals our total from the whole of last season already. Since relegation in 2015 we have never won more than 6 away games in a season out of 23 (2016/17) so we are now only 1 away win from equalling that.

We have kept consecutive clean sheets for the first time in 12 months - we kept 3 in a row over Christmas last year.

We are of course smack bang in the middle of the table and our record against the teams above and below proves we are as mid table as they come. We have yet to lose against a team currently in the bottom half of the table:

Teams above: L L L L L W L W L W L

Teams below: W W W D D D D W W W

Our next 4 games are all against teams currently in the bottom half.

Matt Smith came on as a late sub and in doing so appeared for the first time in 12 matches.

Dominic Ball was on the winning side for the first time since September

Luke Amos secured personal back to back wins for the first time in a QPR shirt

Nahki Wells has now gone 5 games without scoring.

Thanks as ever northwesthoop for the update!

I am a little worried that neither Hugill or Wells are scoring at the moment, but it is obvious from the spread of goals throughout the squad that other players are confident enough to take a shot! Even Mlakar got a goal to boost his confidence in the recent U23s game. I honestly feel anyone could score at present - including Lumley!

I enjoy the updates northwesthoop but this has surely jinxed it.

The run will almost certainly now come to an end in the next 4 games, but if it doesn't we will almost certainly be pushing for the top 6 come the end of the year.

We should be full of confidence now and must surely be aiming for at least 8 points out of 12 from the next 4 games:

Barnsley are there for the taking, they have 1 win in the last 10

Charlton are bottom of the form table for both the last 6 and 10 games (no win in the last 9)

Reading are 4th from bottom of the home form table and we go there on Boxing Day. Our away record is an impressive 6th out of 24.

Hull are the trickiest match on paper but their form is hit and miss and we have to be confident playing at home.

Happy Christmas
