Our 5th consecutive away win. A huge well done to all.
First time since September 1927 (run of 7 wins) making this the second longest away winning run in our Football League history.
Mental.
Can I just say that was one of the best 45 minutes of football I've possibly ever seen. It had everything, great goals, tension, 10 minutes added time. Amazing stuff. I literally have a headache. A good headache!

That 10/11 is exactly what I was referencing minxymartin
When we were 2-0 down against Derby in 2010 and somehow drew 2-2 you could see a change, it was not just a draw, it was a defining moment. The team were more together from that moment, it created an aura and a feeling around the squad. I really felt like tonight could be that moment for the class of 21/22.
To go away to Middlesbrough who've had a good start, in midweek, go behind in the first 6 minutes, go down to 10 men, play 10 minutes added time and still win must make our players feel invincible.
And I've never seen a win mean as much to Warburton. He was as passionate as I've ever seen him at the end and he stayed clapping the fans far longer than ever before. He knew what this win meant. Massive.
Well that was fun. Walking in my door at 5am after that game! Sod the A1 being shut, and sod numerous road works on the M1!!
I don't remember the last time I either enjoyed a game as much as that, or saw such a change in momentum as that. Warnock did a job on us in the first half, but Warburton returned the compliment in the second half!
And now on to the game. The penalty decision was right in front of us, and I couldn't even tell you what it was given for. Luckily it didn't decide the game, or that really would've ruined the trip!
I feel like this is going to be a controversial opinion, but I don't actually blame Odubajo tonight. He had to stop the attacker from getting in to the area and possibly getting a shot away. Take one for the team, but I'm looking at Warburton for that. Odubajo shouldn't have even come out for the second half given how the referee was giving them every decision he could. That's the one criticism I have of Warburton, he very rarely seems to get it right with his subs.
A section of the travelling support tonight were giving Lumley dogs abuse, and sadly it seems like that dented his confidence which lead to our second and third goals. It really is a shame to see him make more mistakes after he did so well for us in the BCD games last season when Dieng was suspended. Hopefully he can get his form back and reignite his career!
The passion from all of the players at the end was an absolute delight! It was clear to see how much that result meant to them all, and it's great to see QPR players celebrate a win like that! A clear sign that the players genuinely care and reslly want to do well.
The biggest concern for me is our striking options now. The referee missed a clear headbutt from Austin tonight, so it won't surprise me if he gets a 3 game ban for that. Coupled with Dykes' injury, and that's our two main strikers out for a few games. Possibly a chance for Kelman to step up?
But the best moment of the night for me came aftee the game. Waiting to leave the car park, and Middlesbrough fans yelling "cheating Cockney bastards" at us. Did they not see how easily they were going down all night till they went behind?
Anyway, that's all the write-up you're getting for tonight - I'm going to go and pass out for a few hours!
Am I completely drained from that tonight? Yes. Would I do it all over again? Of course! Roll on the next one!
