Review:
A good game with the first away win since November 24th (at Hull). Costel got down well to save a penalty with three minutes to go after a handball in the area and kept a clean sheet for the second consecutive game. This was the last away game of the season and over 2300 travelling fans got what we wanted.
Interestingly, Lewis Walker (son of Des and brother of Tyler) made his first start for QPR today. Bolton next week? Depends on whether their players are still on strike.
