PMS: QPR
By Sadie August 26 2006
Sadie (Shady Blue Lady) gives Singing The Blues her own unique look at Town’s game against QPR yesterday.

Thanks to Sky Sports (No not the aero gliding kind) myself and a few others sat down to watch the Tractor Boys visit Loftus Road. My confidence was certainly not overflowing but I was cheery regardless.

 

It took 5 minutes to get the ball out of our own half but when we did I was delighted as I saw that Alan Lee looks like a Ferret!

 

Stuff happened here and there including a shot from the 18 year old Billy Clarke tipped over by QPR keeper Jones which won town a corner.

 

On the half hour the game turned its focus onto winding up the camera looking much like a piggy in the middle situation, ah those were the days, queue quick rendition of Queen track in everyone’s head please people.

 

33 minutes Richards took a free kick, he knew exactly where he wanted to put it, unfortunately that's not where the ball ended up.

 

34 minutes play heads to the other end where Price is left to make a brilliant save with his foot.

 

Town were back on attack in response to that save, But De Vos and Clarke both fail to find the net, then another Clarke attempt ever so slightly closer but then Richards gets on the rebound and kicks over for a goal kick.

 

The first half was good for town with the attacking style suiting play, but there was still something wrong in the reformed defence which left Town veteran Richard Naylor on the bench with Wilnis back on the greener side.

 

Back on the pitch for the second 45 De Vos manages to knock someone out, home and pitch use this as perfect drink time.

 

The second half again got underway and Wilnis had a go at a shot, if that’s what you call it! In one of our previous 4 games where attacking opportunities seemed to be rationed i would have called it a shot, but today we were having a fair few, so no, it was not a shot, it was... ok I don't know what it was but it wasn't a shot.

 

56 minutes Bruce needs treatment for a bloody nose which Sparks conversation and laughter on Alex looking like his father Steve who proudly watched from the stands.

 

Laughter was silenced on 58 when QPR score, with a box full of Town defenders the one who takes on the final challenge to try and help Price was our 18 year old striker.

 

Just 3 minutes later though just inside the QPR box, Williams goes down and wins a penalty Which Walton steps to and scores. 1-1

 

Now town really come to life and turn up the tempo with a Noble scuff, A Harding shot tipped over and Williams who rattles the post.

 

In the 67th minute De Vos heads home a Noble corner and Town take the lead

 

QPR respond with a substitution and Richards head looks shiny.

 

It took 83 minutes for the book to come out, But it was QPR's Bircham who saw the only yellow of the game for a foul on Williams

 

In the 85th minute Bowditch who had come on for the impressive Clarke, ended his goal drought scoring for the first time since October 2004 with a beautiful header, 3 goals to Town, surely this would be the Tractor Boys first win of the season

 

To waste a bit of time in the 87th minute Haynes replaces Lee.

 

89 minutes- Devastation, I realise a high profile name must be gay and refuse to accept the evidence stacked against him!

 

Williams makes way for Currie for all of the 30 seconds remaining of injury time and we can still think of no footballers named Will despite Astons desperate search through the Net

 

Oh and...

WE WON WE WON WE WON 3-1 WE WON 3-1!
