Ranger's fourth game in just eight days brought another memorable afternoon for QPR fans. Luton Town were the visitors bringing the most pathetic away support I've seen all season with less than 1,000 making the short trip to Loftus Road and most of them seemed more interested in a fight than the football.

The atmosphere was pretty buoyant among the QPR fans before the game although I have to admittedly to being a tad nervous about this game given the fact that Luton have been woeful for months now it would be typical if they turned up and beat us just as we looked to be pulling away from danger.

John Gregory once again rotated his squad for the game. Nygaard and Furlong swapped again with Furs sitting on the bench for this one whilst Steve Lomas replaced Smith in midfield and Bignot returned in place of Timoska at left back. Once again lee Cook was missing through injury so Stefan Moore made his first start at Loftus Road since March 2006.

Rangers kicked off and my fears were quickly realised as Rangers looked tired and a little nervous and it was Luton who bossed the game from the first minute. They controlled the ball and we were chasing shadows early on struggling to get a touch. Matthew Spring's shot was deflected wide of Camps goal early on and from the corner Heikkinen was unmarked but headed wide of the post.

Rangers were rarely making inroads into the Luton half and our only real attacking threat was Stefan Moore who looked bright on the left but his first effort on goal was a weak one and was easily saved.

The referee was soon called into action but appeared to be one of two people in the stadium to miss a late foul on Camp. Camp was seeing the ball out and Talbot got in a lade nasty tackle on Camp but the ref missed it and gave a throw on and after asking his linesmen who was on the other side of the pitch it transpired he didn't see it either so Luton attacked from the throw in after Camp received several minutes of treatment.

Another more serious injury followed when Ainsworth sadly broke his leg. As ever Ainsworth through himself into a challenge after Camp's long ball, he jumped high and into the Luton defender and laded awkwardly. Typical Ainsworth he tried to walk off the broken leg and tried to play on but it was clear something was badly wrong and he limped off and will miss the rest of the season. This left Rangers with no wingers on the pitch as Smith slotted in on the right.

The pattern of the game didn't change too much though as Luton dominated proceedings and ad a goal disallowed for offside which looked a correct decision.

Stefan Moore went on a great run down the left and cut it back for Lomas but his completely missed the ball with his air shot and the chance was gone. Just as most fans were heading for the bar after a tedious first half Rangers took the lead with our first real chance of the game. Steve Lomas took a long throw on the right and the ball fell to Moore who knocked it back across for Stewart to knock down and Blackstock placed a powerful shot into the bottom corner for his twelfth goal of the season. It was against the run of play but nobody seemed to care as for the third game in a row we got the all important first goal which will have pleased John Gregory as Rangers have not lost after opening the scoring since January 13th.

The lead didn't last long though as Luton got the equaliser they deserved. A throw in on the right brought the goal as Rangers went to sleep. First Bignot allowed Bell space to cut inside and get a cross in where Coyne was unmarked and able to head past Camp from close range. A poor goal to give away but it had been coming and Rangers went in at half time more than a little fortunate to still be in the game.

The second half started just as poorly for Rangers and we were quickly 2-1 down. The referee didn't help after waving play on after a Luton defender almost took Jimmy Smiths head off with what looked like a wrestling move and they went straight up the other end and scored. A ball into the box appeared to cause little danger until Nygaard had a rush of blood and punched the ball away to concede the most blatant penalty of the season.

Dave Bell stepped up to take it and sent Camp the wrong way to cause mass panic among the QPR fans that all the recent hard work was about to be undone.

It almost got far worse when Talbot broke through again but was denied by Camp. A flurry of substitutions followed as the unlucky Pat Kanyuka limped off with another injury to give Timoska a chance at right back whilst Nygaard was replaced by Furlong.

The game was going nowhere though and Rangers never looked like getting back into it until Luton brought on former QPR favourite Richard Langley. The reception he got was quite amazing, I don't think I've heard an ex player booed so much since Andy Sinton in the 1990's. It felt a bit unconformable as I always liked Langley and couldn't really work out why he was getting so much stick. Langley didn't do himself any favours though with a performance that can only be likened to that of a pantomime villain.

After throwing himself to the floor under the slightest touch from Moore he was sent flying by Timoska and the crowd were now going berserk at him. He seemed to not only fire the fans up but also Rangers and we were soon on top.

Up front Furlong was changing hr game by holding the ball up and getting the midfield into the game, He had a good shout for a penalty when he was taken down in the box but the referee wouldn't give it. Soon after he did give one though as a good ball into the box from Bolder saw Furlong wrestled to the floor for a clear penalty despite what that tosser Kevin Blackwell said after the game.

Dexter Blackstock went to take the penalty before Langley lost the plot first fighting with Bignot then standing right next to Blackstock and mouthing off something in his ear. As a big fan of Langley when he was at Rangers even I was disappointed by the way he was acting and the boos and chants aimed at him now were richly deserved. Blackstock ignored all the gamesmanship by Langley and as the whistle blew he calmly ran up and placed the ball into the back of the net sending the keeper the wrong way. The crowd went mad and the game had turned on it's head. Luton fell apart and Rangers stormed forward looking for a winner with Gregory almost on the pitch at one stage urging the team on.

In the 90th minute the moment came and as has often been the case in the last few years it was the brilliant Paul Furlong who came up with the winner. When Rangers have needed a goal to make a playoff final or win promotion in recent years it's been Furlong who got them and here he was again being the hero.

The goal came after a nice pass from Moore found Lomas out on the left and he picked out a perfect cross for Furlong who was unmarked and placed a diving header into the bottom corner. The celebrations were unreal as the fans went potty and the players, plus manager, coaches and subs all jumped up and down as if we had just won the league.

Furlongs name was sung with great gusto around the stadium as Luton launched one last attack but the free kick was wasted and the final whistle saw players and fans rejoice at another massive three points. The celebrations suggested we are now safe and although that is not quite the case just yet we are just one win away from securing our place in the division probably three games earlier than anyone expected.

It's been quite a week for QPR with three massive wins and to win again without Cook and Rowlands speaks volumes for the team spirit and determination this team now have. This wasn't a good performance by any means, the first half was the worse we have played at home in 2007 but we stayed in the game and thanks to Blackstock and Furlong were able to turn defeat into victory.

Richard Langley played a big part in the win, his performance woke the crowd and our team up and quite what was going through his mind is anyone's guess. I don't think I've ever seen a player self-destruct in that way for a long time. A shame really as he was a good player for us but all the memories of great goals and performances will now be replaced by him trying to fight Bignot and put Blackstock off before he took the penalty.

Once again the back four all played well with Cullip leading them well. The midfield were pretty poor in all honestly but credit to Moore who has come from nowhere to get back in the team and he worked very hard in an unfamiliar role.

Up front Nygaard was poor but Furlong was outstanding when he came on changing the game in our favour and getting the winner. Blackstock again impressed and is starting to get the goals his all round play deserves.

Rangers are now seven points clear of the bottom three with just four games to play. One more win will do it and if we can get Cook, Mancienne and Rowlands back fit for next week then there is no reason why we can't get that win at Sunderland.
