It's not exactly been a happy couple of weeks being a QPR fan. A poor run of form and some dreadful performances meant an air of doom and gloom was surrounding Loftus Road for what looked on paper a must win game.

Rumours around the ground of the club being close to administration, Marc Nygaard falling out with team mates and the manager and this being Ian Holloway's last game in charge before the axe falls on him was hardly helping lift the tension in the stands.

On top of that the visitors were Hull City and after the London bombings chants by a section of their morons back in August the atmosphere wasn't pleasant to say the least. The Queen Adelaide pub was shut before the game with rumours of the Hull City supporter's coach being attacked by QPR fans was sadly unsurprisingly.

It was hardly a party atmosphere inside the stadium but for a minute before the game started all fans stood together to celebrate a great mans life. QPR decided to honour the memory of George Best with a minute's appreciation, which saw every fan, give a standing ovation to one of the greatest footballers the world has ever seen. It was a moving tribute and far better than a minutes silence.

The teams then got ready for the game and the QPR fans launched into a Town full of wankers chant at the Hull fans. Thankfully that all died down quickly with the Q Block ironically taking the morale high ground calling Hull scum before singing your going to get your fucking heads kicked in, which was booed by a fair few people with brains in the P Block.

As the teams kicked off it was good to see that Ian Holloway had stuck with the attacking midfield but again it was probably forced on him with so many of the cloggers out injured. The only changed to Tuesdays team were the return of Paul Furlong and Mauro Milanese at the expensive of lee Cook and Shabazz Baidoo. This saw Lloyd Dyer move forward to the left wing but he played the first half cutting inside as more of a third central midfield player which never really worked that well. The idea was ok to have someone come in and support the central midfield just as Rowlands does when he plays wide but Dyer just wasn't suited to the role.

Rangers looked pretty low on confidence from the start as the back four looked uncomfortable on the ball and the wide players were not really getting in the game. We had one early chance when Furlong met a high Ainsworth cross but his effort was straight at the keeper.

In truth it was a dull game and the visitors were the better side going forward with some neat play between Barmby and Paynter. We looked nervous at the back and Royce was well below his best although that can be explained by the Rangers goalkeeper almost missing the game through illness. Hull looked more like scoring but their finishing was poor with them rarely troubling Royce with their efforts.

At the other end Furlong smashed a free kick over the bar whilst Langley shot wide in what was becoming a very forgettable game. Rangers were not playing that badly but it was similar to recent games in that we needed something to get us going and for whatever reason we didn't look like getting it.

They say when you are struggling luck always goes against you and that certainly happened just a few minutes before the break.

Georges Santos went down with what looked like an arm injury. Whilst he was being treated off the pitch by Prav we were quickly caught out and a goal down. It was poor defending but if Santos had been on we surely would have dealt with the problem.

First up Evatt gave the ball away and was very slow to get back as they put a high ball to the far post. Ryan France came in at the back post being tracked by Gallen until the Rangers captain stopped and left France with the simple task of out jumping Dyer and seeing his looping header beat Simon Royce. A poor goal to give away and the blame going to the team rather than individuals, as it was a very avoidable goal to concede.

The atmosphere began to get a little ugly as fans began to argue among themselves about the future of Ian Holloway and the direction the team was going in.

After a long wait Lee Cook eventually got his gloves on and replaced Santos in a move which saw Milanese go to centre half and Dyer go to left back. Rangers almost got level before the break after a good cross by Bignot was turned over by Ainsworth. As the players walked off heads down at half time a few boos were heard from the Loft and this was turning into another disappointing day.

Ian Holloway had a big team talk to give and changed things for the second half switching Ainsworth to cut inside a little more and leaving Cook as the out and out winger. It was a move that eventually got us back in the game.

The second half didn't start too well though as within two minutes Kevin Gallen limped off and his replacement Stefan Moore entered the field to a few boos from his own fans. Not a great way to welcome a youngster short of confidence.

It didn't take long for Rangers to be two goals behind and the game looked dead and buried. This time it was another highball into the box which neither Royce or Evatt dealt with and Paynter had a simple header into the corner of the net. Royce was well below his best and really should have taken command of the situation but Evatt shouldn't be out jumped as easily as he was.

The crowd were now visibly getting angry and Ainsworth (who was having a terrible game) got the brunt of the frustration after giving away possession yet again.

To Rangers credit they didn't give up as quickly as the crowd had but after the last few games it was hard to us getting anything from this game.

Then before we knew it the game completely changed around. A Richard Langley corner was floated into the middle and Ainsworth was unmarked to head home and we were back in the game. Ainsworth gestured to the crowd for more support, which the team got, but really it would have been nice if they had given us something to shout about in the first hour.

The goal completely changed the game though as Hull now looked to hang on and Rangers were full of confidence and piling forward. Stefan Moore was a different player chasing lost causes and making things happen. Paul Furlong got on the end of a through ball but pulled his defender back and the whistle went before Furlong scored what he thought was the equaliser and the joy was short lived.

Hull could have killed the game off after a lovely attacking move which carved Rangers apart ending with a neat chip over Royce and Rowlands did well to head clear from a few yards out as it looked a certain goal.

Stefan Moore was a real threat now and a long ball by Evatt saw Moore chase it down and put the defender under pressure, he got to the by-line and hooked the ball back for Furlong but the referee harshly gave a foul against the forward and Furlongs effort was saved anyway.

It was only a matter of time now before we equalised and the goal came via Gareth Ainsworth. Rowlands pushed forward and won a header for Ainsworth and he smashed a shot from 25 yards out which took a wicked deflection and left the keeper standing and watching it loop into the back of the net. The crowd went mad as Ainsworth was mobbed by his teammates. Ten minutes earlier we had looked a beaten side heading into huge trouble but now we were tearing Hull apart and a winning goal looked on the cards.

The midfield of Rowlands and Langley had now licked and was working really well. Both had a swagger about them and with Ainsworth cutting inside Langley was able to get out wide into the space knowing he had someone covering him and he looked back to his best.

Lee Cook was next to go close as Rowlands found him with a neat ball and his shot was parried by Mayhill and Moore was a little too slow to get onto the rebound. Cook was having his best game for a while and came so close to a third goal. Rowlands again was at the heart of it brining the ball forward from deep and laying a neat ball into Moore who found Cook. The Rangers winger took a touch looked up and smashed in a brilliant shot, which had the keeper beaten but it cannoned against the post and away for a throw in.

Rangers were launching attack after attack as we searched for the winning goal. Ainsworth had two chances to get his hat trick but blazed over both times. The crowd were right behind the team now and soon Hull were down to ten men.

Cook curled a ball through to Furlong, which he never looked like getting onto and the keeper come out to claim it. As he caught the ball the linesmen flagged to say he had handled outside the box. It was a close call and even after seeing TV replays it's impossible to say if he was outside the box or not. Having given the free kick he had no choice but to send him off and Furlong was lucky to escape a second yellow for his part in the and bags which followed.

The free kick was right on the edge of the box and Langley stood over it and curled a wonderful shot towards the top corner but it hit the post and was cleared. This just wasn't Rangers day but we continued to push for a winner.

Paul Furlong hit a shot on the turn, which was well saved before Ainsworth did well to get round the keeper and cross for Langley to chest it down and shoot agonisingly wide.

Before the end Royce completed a bit of a nightmare game for home by appearing to handle outside the box but he was lucky enough to get away with it.

As we reached the final minute of injury time Ainsworth had one last shot, which flew over the bar, and the final whistle was met with disappointment of not getting the three points.

Still most fans were delighted with the second half performance which was probably the best we've played at home since the Ipswich game back in August. It was unbelievable how bad we were for an hour and then how good we were in the last half an hour.

Ainsworth was dire until he scored but the goal changed everything. After that we played some of our best football of the season. Milanese was outstanding at the back, Cook had a cracking game whilst Stefan Moore's pace caused all sorts of problems.

I actually thought Moore changed the game for us as he gave us a different option up front and created space for others to work in. Langley seemed to get his old swagger back and was a joy to watch in the second half. Rowlands also had a very good second half and seemed to click with Langley as the pair of them began to form a partnership with one covering when the other went forward.

It was really good to watch. Hopefully that's a turning point for us and we take that second half performance into the next few games and get some more points on the board. It was certainly good to walk away from Loftus Road having watched an entertaining game rather than some of the tripe that's been on offer recently.
