QPR bounced back with genuine
Bouncebackability after "that" game against Leeds last weekend. With Holloway at home recovering from illness it was left to Tim Breacker to run the show and that he did.
The QPR team had no surprises in the line up really. Furlong was up front next to Jamie Cureton and the big striker missed a golden chance to put the game beyond Cardiff's reach in the 75th minute with the game at 1-0.
Danny Shittu got the winner from a corner, although not from a towering header. Gallen swung the corner in, the ball was half cleared by Cardiff and
Big Danny Shittu was there to power home from just outside the box.
Cardiff centre back Danny Gabbidon should have squared the match to give Cardiff a share of the spoils, but gladly he put his header from 6 yards over the QPR bar in the 89th minute.
Summation :: Rangers held out, Holloway has a nice tonic for the evening and we are 5th in the league, 5 clear of the team below us as I write.
Beware the Fallen Ranger..
