Rangers broke down the left through the impressive Adam Miller who played a ball into Furlong. Furlong took matters into his own hands by running at the Ipswich back four and as the crowd and Furlongs team mates waited for a pass out wide, Furlong let fly with a brilliant shot giving the keeper no chance and Rangers were level. The QPR fans were going mad and despite being second best in the first 25 minutes, Rangers had fought back to get level.

Things soon got even better. A long ball forward found Gallen who brought the ball down well and laid it off to Furlong who hit his shot as sweetly as he possibly could. Davies got a hand to it but the shot was so strong he had no chance, as Rangers were 2-1 up.

The score line was ridiculous as on the balance of play Ipswich should have been 3 or 4 goals ahead but once again the team spirit and never say die attitude of the Rangers players had got us in front against one of the promotion favourites.

Things could have perhaps should have got even better. Ipswich were stunned and Rangers pushed for a third goal. Good play by Gallen helped create a chance for Marcus Bean but his shot flew well wide. Gallen was linking well with Adam Miller on the left and he was starting to look more like his old self up front.

Miller almost gave us a 3-1 lead cutting in on the left to his preferred right foot but his shot was easily saved at the near post. Miller was looking impressive and the youngster seemed embarrassed by the Q Blocks chant of One Adam Miller and Miller for England.

Rangers then had two chances to kill the game off before the break, which proved to be a big turning point. Miller again was the provider whipping in an excellent cross and Gallen found himself unmarked from eight yards out. He hit the shot well on the turn but it flew just past the post. A few inches the other way and the game would have been over.

Gallen then had a golden chance to see us in at half time with a 3-1 lead. Miller was involved again and Gallen got into the box and away from his defender but his shot went well over when he perhaps should have hit the target. It wasn’t an easy chance but a player with Gallen’s ability should have done better.

Ipswich then pushed for an equaliser before half time but Rangers kept them out and walked off to a standing ovation from the QPR fans.

Rangers were slightly fortunate to be 2-1 up as Ipswich had been the better side but Furlongs goals had been of the highest quality and with a bit of luck we could have been even further ahead at the break.

Ipswich started the second half determined to get back on level terms. Bent was put clear of the Rangers defence and the impressive youngster looked set to put his side level but he fired wide of Chris Days goal.

Rangers were fighting for everything and Gareth Ainsworth epitomised Rangers spirit with some excellent tackles on the right wing. Ipswich were beginning to peg us back again as we struggled to get the ball off the impressive visitors.

After all the away sides quality they eventually equalised with a very scrappy goal. Kuqi headed down for Bent who had far too much space in our area. Bent miss hit his shot and seemed to slip as hit it but the ball deflected in off a defender and beat Chris Day. It was a cruel blow to Rangers but to be fair the visitors deserved to be level.

Rangers pushed forward to try and regain the lead. A strong run from Ainsworth almost gave us the lead. He burst into the box going past the challenges of three defenders before he was eventually stopped but the ball fell to Gallen who shot first time and Davies made a very good save to deny the Rangers captain.

Ipswich continued to push forward though and the passing and movement of the Ipswich team was very impressive. It was end-to-end stuff now as Ian Holloway looked to make a change with Martin Rowlands and Jamie Cureton warming up. Before we could change anything though Ipswich ran away with the game.

First up Darren Currie gave the visitors the lead for the second time. Currie was on as a sub making his Ipswich debut and he had already scored once against Rangers earlier in the season for Brighton. Currie got the ball on the edge of the box and fired in a superb shot, which Day seemed to have covered but it took a slight deflection off Marcus Bignot and beat Day flying into the top corner.

Ipswich continued to push for another goal and Rangers struggled to get the ball back. You could see the belief fading from the Rangers side and Holloway made two changes.
