Grayson made two changes to the starting line up for this game, Micheal Flynn replacing the injured Claus Bech Jorgenson and Andy Morrel came in for injured again Paul Dickov. Keigan Parker was also recalled to the squad but had to make do with a place on the bench.

The Seasiders found themselves one down when QPR took an early adavantage. Buzsaky scored a flukey lob to beat Rachukuba on the 11th minute. As with GTF's fluke lob against Charlton it was heavily assisted by the high wind. The goal maybe considered against the run of play as upon till that point the ball had just pinged around the midfield.

A second followed on the 40th minute again against the run of play. Rowan Vine scoring for Rangers as the Seasiders more or less fell to sleep in what you would a dead moment in the game. However to say the seasiders hadn't had there chances to score previous to the goal would be a bit harsh. Stephen McPhee missed a great chance and had he had scored the game would of been 1-1 and taken a different course. But this wasn't the Seasiders night and QPR were beating our defensive trap with ease, using pace and trickery to pressure the 'pool into silly mistakes.

QPR got a third two minutes into the second half Rowlands scoring for Rangers; which on another night may have killed the seasiders off. But it didn't it injected life into Simon Grayson's man and probably the next 40 minutes saved the tangerine team a bo*****ing off Simon Grayson.

Ten minutes after coming on, Ben Burgess pulled one back giving Blackpool a lifeline. In the process sending home a clear message to the manager that he wants to play on Saturday and that goal will have probably earnt him a place, if Dickov does not recover from his hamstring. The Bigmans 60th minute goal saw him run through the hoops defence and slot the ball home beating QPR's 'keeper.

A second Seasiders goal came soon after the introduction of out of favour forward Kiegan Parker, The scotsman came on to a chant of "Da Da Da Kiegan Parker" and a goal soon followed for Blackpool but not from Parker but his introduction certainly boosted a few fans and players alike. Kaspars Gorkks sent a corner ball goal bound and to ensure it's destination Stephen McPhee gave it a sneaky little glance and the Seasiders were back into the game ensuring a more then tense finish. Soon after Gorrks could of got an equaliser but his effort was cleared and in the dieing moments of the game Burgess had another chance to score, but saying that QPR also had chances to get a 4th.

Despite the result Blackpool weren't the worst side, but credit to QPR they managed to force Blackpool into silly mistakes and took advantage of there chances when the game was effectively dorment. Now Blackpool are back in the relegation mix and win on Saturday will ease that issue. We needed to beat QPR really to get us closer to safety and to start making up ground on the mid table teams in places we aspire to finish. Hopefully a win on Saturday and a string of results going our way and we can get back in the mid table mix and remember Belokon told BBC Sport pre-season that he wanted us to finish 10th. That's ambition and the players should be trying to match that.
