What a game he had last night. Absolute class from start to finish. Redknapp must have been gutted he didn't try and snatch him from us. We have an absolute steal in having him at our club and I was proud to see him in our colours against a wealth of premier league/international players. And lastly WTF are Bolton doing loaning Andrews out to us he was also a cut above last night . This is all.

Couldn't believe he got slagged off on the 5live commentary - apparently he is nowhere near as good as when he played for England, and even then he was awful. WTF?!

Its funny because I read the sky sports report this morning and I felt like they must have gone to a different game to me. They made it out like we were totally outclassed and lucky to have got away with a draw. We can all bang on about if's and buts but we desperately needed some pace in attack and we would have caused them allsorts of problems had we have had the legs to get in behind them. Im not an AB fan but he was excellent last night as well. Qpr will struggle against sides with quick forwards as their centres halfs are dog slow(Onouha aside)

I don't think he's unsung, we all know he's one of the best.

Which begs the question why wasn't Lua Lua playing

A few of us were asking the same question before ko and the general view was that he isn't disciplined enough in defending against the quality QPR have this said he was doing his fair share v Reading

Does seem odd that Lualua was dropped after his excellent performance at Reading. I was hoping Oscar would give him more opportunities than Poyet.

Or he might not be fit enough yet to start 2 games. Certainly hasn't played much recently. .

The "story" from last night's game was all about how moneybags tabletoppers QPR dominated possession but failed to capitalise and record another victory - with big man Charlie Austin being the main culprit in missing a string of gilt-edged scoring opportunities...

Doesn't matter that it's not really true but the real match summary isn't as interesting.

I'd say it was a bit of both of these. Regardless of form, there must be some amount of consideration to the opposition, and if you need to keep it tight, and have extra defensive qualities, then LuaLua wouldn't be top of the list, especially when he isn't 100% fit.

He'll be back for Bolton probably, and hopefully he'll take the game by the scruff of the neck, even more so having had a bit more of a rest...

Our defensive improvement since he joined has been incredible, still got a few years left in him for sure.
