After Tuesdays memorable win over Preston it was back to work for angers with a tough looking trip to the Ricoh Arena and face an improving Coventry City.

Due to engineering works on the train we had to seek an alternative way of getting to the game and thankfully the club out on extra coaches, which proved to be the easiest and cheapest way of getting to see the team in action.

The coach journey was relatively quick to be honest and we were at the ground just after 2pm for my second visit to this new stadium. I have to say it is much improved from my last visit. They opened up far more bars on the concourse making it easy to get a drink or food and they even had a Wimpy burger bar, which proved to be popular among the fans.

The view was much better this year mainly as I wasn't sat in the front row. This time I was nearer the back and after climbing the very steep stairs we sat among the 2,000 strong support to roar the team on to another victory. We were in for as hock when the team was announced though as Gregory made several changes some enforced some due to players needing rest during a busy period of the season.

Pat Kanyuka returned at right back to replace the injured Mancienne whilst Bignot was rested giving a chance at left back for Timoska who has lost his ponytail during his spell out of the side. Jimmy Smith made his first start since January replacing Lomas in the heart of midfield whilst the rotation up front continued with Furlong and Nygaard swapping places again. The biggest shock was on the left wing where Stefan Moore (yes he's still here) was the choice to replace the injured Lee Cook.

Rangers attacked the end where the QPR fans were sat in the first half and we had the first chance in a nervy opening from both sides. Ainsworth won the ball on the right and Bolder picked it up and smashed his shot wide of the post.

At the other end Coventry were pushing for an early goal and Camp was called upon early to deny Fadiga. Rangers looked all over the place at the back as a simple ball saw Fadiga in acres of space on the left but Camp was quick off his line to save at his feet and concede the corner.

The home side looked bright but offered little of an attacking threat with Cullip and co defending well after a shaky opening few minutes which seems to be the norm at the moment with us.

Gareth Ainsworth was once again our main attacking threat and he was making the impossible possible with his non-stop working. As the ball appeared to be going out for a throw in a Coventry defender strolled over to see it out but Ainsworth was having none of it and slid in to win the ball and break away for Rangers. He ran into the box and smashed a low shot just wide of the far post.

Ainsworth was getting plenty of the ball on the right and giving it his all but unlike his last two appearances his final ball was not so good on this occasion and when he got into good positions he couldn't pick out the front two or the onrushing jimmy Smith.

On the other wing Rangers had very little to off. Moore looked low on confidence and sadly low on effort during the first half playing as if it was a pre season stroll rather than a crucial game for the club. In his defence though it must be hard to come in for your first appearance of the season and be asked to play out of position.

Lee Camp was again called into action as our problem left side was exposed again. Timoska and Moore were nowhere to be seen as a ball down the line for Misfud saw him run clear but Camp came running out and saved at his feet before getting up and producing an excellent slide tackle on Whing to get the ball out for a throw in. He was called into action again soon after when poor defending at a corner allowed Ward a chance but Camp did well to get down low and keep out his effort.

As the half came to an end Coventry had been getting on top and Rangers looked happy to hear the half time whistle and go in at 0-0. News that Leeds, Luton and Barnsley were all losing certainly gave everyone a boost.

The game had been very similar to the recent one at Leicester where we had done ok without causing many problems but with us still in the game hopes were very high that we could push on and get the win in the second half.

The players seemed to be of the same thinking and came out all guns blazing looking for that opening goal. We won an early corner, which was played to the back post where Kanyuka won the, header but Furlong couldn't convert this half chance that came his way.

Rangers looked bright and alive at the start of the half and we got the vital goal eight minutes after the break. Adam Bolder got the ball in the box on the right and he turned inside to leave the defender on his backside, his ball across found Furlong in space but he was denied by Marshall when he seemed certain the score. The ball ran loose though to Moore with the goal gaping but his shot was brilliantly saved on the line by the keeper and just as we despaired at a great chance gone jimmy Smith came in and made no mistake firing into the bottom corner.

The relief was evident among the players and the fans and the job as we looked for our second away win in a row.

John Gregory then used his subs well over a quiet twenty minute spell as Coventry ran out of ideas and Rangers kept things very solid. Marcus Bignot came on for Timoska and immediately added some reassurance to the back four and his non stop encouragement was a big boost. Marc Nygaard came on to offer some fresh legs up front in place of the tiring Furlong whilst Steve Lomas also came on for excellent Bolder.

It was a hard working performance and as time wore on Rangers were sitting deeper and deeper and saying break us down to the opposition and Coventry had very little clue how to do it. Camp was rarely called into action and Coventry had to resort to cheating to have one attack after Kanyuka went down injured they refused to kick the ball out leaving Cullip to have to clear it and from the throw in they refused to throw it back to us and won a corner. It would have been typical if they had scored from that but Rangers anger was clear for all to see and Camp made easy work of the corner.

At the other end we went close to finishing the game off as Ainsworth sold his full back and dummy and was clear in the box, he looked up and Nygaard screamed for the ball as he had an pen goal but Ainsworth's pass was poor and straight at the keeper.

On the left Stefan Moore was showing a vast improvement on his first half display. He was subject of a nasty early tackle from Virgo and that seemed to wake him up, after that he was well up for the battle proved to be a good outlet on the break with his pace causing problems.

Jimmy Smith had another long range effort to try and seal it but he didn't test the keeper. Then at the other end just as my mate Phil was saying how Coventry were not going top break us down one passed carved us open as Mczenzie got in behind us but combination of Bignot and Camp came to the rescue and cleared the danger.

Lee Camp was having a great game in the Rangers goal and he was urging the fans on for last effort as the clock turned towards the 90 minute mark. Just as the board went up to indicate four minutes injury time a complete moron of a Coventry ran decided to run on the pitch. No idea what he was trying to do, perhaps he was a conservative streaker who knows but he ran to Cullip who gave him a shove then got up and ran to Camp before Kevin Kyle reacted angrily and pushed him to the floor.

All this happened without one steward or policeman running on to avert any danger and although the bloke looked to be just pissed he could have been carrying a knife or anything to try and attack a player> it sounds like I'm over dramatising the situation but after the Stoke incident last year and the recent Spurs v Chelsea incident it's only a matter of time imo before a player is seriously hurt and the lack of response of the police and stewards in this instance was a disgrace.

Back to the football and with four minutes of injury time to negotiate Rangers managed it without any real problems and the final whistle brought more great scenes of celebrations. The players and fans were loving it and the six points taken from the last two games have given us a great chance of staying up.

The players were throwing their shirts into the crowd with Cullip, Ainsworth, Camp and Bolder in particular going mad in front of the ecstatic QPR fans and even the chairmen joined in as Paladini was seen running on the pitch to hug Gareth Ainsworth.

We're not safe yet but this has been a brilliant few days for Rangers and puts us in a very strong position. This wasn't the best performance of the season by a long way but the team worked hard and considering who we were missing it was a fantastic result. I don't think many would have believed that QPR could win away from home without Cook, Rowlands, Idiakez and Mancienne but we managed it with some ease it has to be said.

Camp and Cullip were the star men for me. Camp did his job made one or two saves and commanded his area at corners. Cullip was outstanding and just refused to let anyone get past him, he's the kind of defender we were crying out for when Shittu left and his arrival has played a massive part in our improvement. Stewart and Kanyuka were also excellent at the back as was Bignot when he came on.

Ainsworth has been sensational in the last 3 games, he's the kind of player that makes you proud to be a QPR fan, his effort yesterday was frightening. The celebrations at the end were great, you can see what it means to the players, a win on Monday and I think we're just about safe and that is a sensational effort considering where we were a few weeks ago .

Such a big result yesterday but the turnaround for me came on March 3rd when the fans sang we can't win with one up front. Since then we have done away with the Cook or Rowlands up front madness and have lost just once since to a late goal against West Brom in a game we should have won. Credit to Gregory though as he used his squad well for this game resting some players and was still able to get a result. He was brought in with the aim of keeping us up and with five games to go he is very close to achieving that earlier than many of us dared to expect.

Luton are next up for Rangers and if the players can show the same effort and determination in that one then I think we'll be celebrating again come 5pm on Monday.
