QPR Vs Scunthorpe - my review

QPR 3 - Scunthorpe 1
Half time - QPR 1 - Scunthorpe 1
Attendance - 14, 499
Goals - Rowlands (penalty), Ageymang, Vine

QPR come from behind to win by two goal margin showing good spirit after conceding from an early free kick.
Score a very dodgy penalty on the stroke of half time and then dominate in the second half with two late goals.

Player Ratings for QPR

Camp - 6.5 - decnt performance but was beaten by a weakish free kick which he could perhaps have saved had he reacted quicker. Made 1 or 2 decent saves and generally good at collecting crosses. Made 1 potentially very costly mistake at 1-1 by dropping a cross but luckily escaped.

Delaney - 6.5 - really like this lad and his refreshing and very attacking mentality. Again offered great attacking assistance today but made certain defensive errors. He needs to be told to rush back to his defensive position after bombing up the pitch as several times today he forced Connely to move accross to the full back berth after he had left his position.

Hall - 6.5 - generally solid but gave away 3 free kicks in bad positions, 1 of which led to their goal, by making the same mistake over and over again by holding the attacker. However, i like him a lot and loved the way he passionately celebrated when we scored, like he really cared. Think he could go on to be a very good player for QPR by the end of this season.

Connely - 6 - solid performance but unspectacular. Filled in at left back when Delaney went AWOL but generally had quite a quiet game today.

Manciene - 7 - another solid game from a Prem quality player. I keep saying it but we MUST sign him on. He has amazing skill when the ball is at his feet and is very confident on the ball, which he again displayed today. Decently pacey and good in the air too.

Vine - 7.5 - MOTM - another good performance for Viney at left mid. Scored an excellent lob and won us the penalty. Despite a good performance he failed to really destroy the full-back and put in as many quality balls as he did against Blackpool. I assume he will move back up to partner Ageymang when Ephraim returns.

Leigertwood - 6.5 - solid performance today. Unspectacular but held wll and offered a few decent balls. I prefer him to Mahon.

Rowlands - 7 - decent performance and came very close to scoring/creating on a number of occassions but always seemed to have his shots/balls blocked at the last. Scored a penalty too. Another strong Captain's performance and he really leads the lads on the pitch.

Buzsaky - 7 - official MOTM - the white Pele had another good game on the right, just without any wondergoals today. Fastly becoming the fans favourite and his chant was the loudest today.

Ageymang - 7 - worked very hard and showed great pace, strenght and determination, scoring a good goal. This guy is really like a young Paul Furlong and was a steal at 350K. He always looks dangerous and like he could score which is something we need. Is he a 20 goal a season man? ... the jury is still out on that one.

Blackstock - 5 - A poor preformance today. Simply does not look at all like he could score in recent weaks and does not offer the threat of Vine or Ageymang. I assume he will be dropped when Ephraim returns from suspension.

Subs - Mahon, Stewart, Lee - all made little impact as were used very late
Unused - Pickens, Balanta

Home fans - 7 - decent yet unspectacular attendance. R block area was loud but everywhere else seemd quiet in comparison.
Away fans - 5 - quite low attendance - probably between 500-1000 and poor noise. Many left very early and the singing stopped at 1-1.

Luigi De Cainio - 6 - he got the result and his team showed a good never-say-die attitude but i wasn't sure about his team selection at all. Blackstock again at centre forward?? No Ainsworth on the bench meant we had very little attacking to bring on when things were not looking good at 1-1. Starnge subs also taking of Rowlands, Buzsaky and Ageymang.

Referee - Awful - gave away several silly free kicks that were undeserved against us as well as yellow cards that were seemingly unessecary. Our penalty also looked kind of dodgy!!
