[Albion] QPR match report

Bruno knocked it long, seeking Baldock over the top – but finding only the head of former Albion reserve Grant Hall. A poor header though – distance poor, and into the middle of the pitch, where Skalak waited. The Czech winger allowed it to bounce, and then unfurled his body to release an absolute hammer of a volley, that flashed past the helpless Smithies. Jiri!!!!!

What. A. Goal! A belter. A goal so good, that the club’s Goal of the Season list had to be quickly re-edited and re-issued. A list without this stunner would have made the voting a sham. Oh. My. Word.

That Rangers were held at arm’s length through this spell, was chiefly down to a sensational defensive midfield display from Dale Stephens – everywhere – winning the ball – breaking up play – preventing the visitors from settling into any comfortable possession. He never does anything overly clever, Stephens, so his work can go unnoticed, but he is in superb form right now. His selfless efforts are appreciated by those that matter – Inigo Calderon, asked for his personal choice for Player of the Season, had no hesitation in including the Albion number 6 alongside Bruno

...all you need now is a sly back handed dig at the club or fans in there and a job at The Argus surely beckons!
