After a two week break Rangers were back in action again and after sitting in the pouring rain at Wembley to watch that idiot Mclaren drinking a cup of tea under his golf umbrella it was somewhat pleasing to get back to a standard of football where the managers are willing to get their hair wet for the cause.

De Canio made two changes to the side that impressed against Crystal Palace two weeks ago with fit again Dexter Blackstock replacing Adam Bolder as we switched back to a 4-4-2 system at a freezing cold Loftus Road. New loan signing Bob Malcolm replaced Timoska at the heart of defence, he looked like Steve Palmer from where I was sitting and quickly became the target for the boo boys with a debut from hell.

Rangers started the game poorly although credit must go to the visitors whop were bright and should have had the game won before we hit the ten minute mark. Sodje was lightening quick and caused all sorts of problems for us early on whilst the movement of Tudgay and the delivery from out wide meant we rarely got a touch of the ball in the first ten minutes.

An early corner on the left was met by Sodje who was unmarked from five yards out but his header hit the bar and luckily for us bounced off the line and away from goal. Sodje then gave new boy Malcolm a five-yard head start chasing a long ball but ended up springing past him as if he wasn't there. Malcolm was so slow it was frightening and Stewart had to spring across and clear the danger. It was all going wrong for Malcolm who was all over the place and was constantly beaten in the air. I think De Canio must have considered taken him off there and then but stuck with him and change things tactically to leave Malcolm staying very deep so he wouldn't be caught out for pace again.

Tudgay was next to go close shooting just wide before Sodje left Malcolm standing again and was denied by a good save from Camp. Former QPR loanee Frank Simek hurled in a few long throws, which again caused problems, and it was looking like we were in for a right hiding against Brian laws in form side.

Rangers began to get back in the game though through the midfield duo of Leigertwood and Buzsacky. The pair of them held off the opposition and looked to keep the ball and build attacks from deep. We began to get our foot on the ball and played some lovely passing football.

Dexter Blackstock and Rowan Vine began to link well together and Dexter found Vine with a nice flick but Vine's effort went out for a throw in. The signs were there though that these two could form an exciting partnership and they combined again with some lovely football to supply Sinclair. A one touch passing move through midfield carved Wednesday open to send Sinclair through but Lee Grant was quick off his line and made an excellent save to deny Sinclair a second goal for Rangers.

The football was a joy to watch from both sides who were intent on attacking and winning the game rather than play for a draw. Rowan Vine thought he had given us the lead after a lovely pass from Rowlands sent him clear but his neat finish past Grant was disallowed for offside.

Rangers continued to pile the pressure on but found lee Grant in fantastic form. Blackstock and Vine combined well again and this time Vine smashed in a great volley, which was turned over the bar by Grant. Buzsacky was next to go close chesting the ball down and firing a volley over the bar before he really turned on the style with some magic in the box. He turned one way then with all the time in the world he sold the defender a dummy to put him on his backside and looked to stroke the ball into the bottom corner but his effort was blocked by Grant.

A lovely move from Rangers almost resulted in a goal as Buzsacky was again involved playing a lovely ball wide to Sinclair and he showed all of his ability to run into the box with pace and curled a shot past the keeper but it hit the inside of the post and came back out to be cleared for a corner. From that set piece Rowlands Leigertwood met ball into the box but it hit the bar and the bounce fell for a Sheffield Wednesday player to scramble it clear.

As the referee blew for half time both sides were applauded off for what had been a fantastic game of football and it was hard to imagine it staying 0-0.

The second half saw the visitors again start the brighter of the two teams as Camp denied O'Brien with a decent save at the near post and they began to win a few corners and were playing all the football in our half.

Again though Rangers bounced back and began to dominate again and created chances to open the scoring. Rowan Vine must have wondered what he had to do to score as he got in behind the defence but his cross shot was blocked by a defender.

Vine then turned supplier after a lovely move he sent Sinclair through and it looked a certain goal as he curled a shot towards the bottom corner but Grant was equal to it making a stunning save.

It was real end to end stuff with both sides going for the win and had further chances to get the three points and with the football on show so entertaining and attack minded I had the feeling it would probably now end 0-0.

Burton O'Brien went close for Sheffield Wednesday with a lovely curling effort, which beat Camp but hit the bar and bounced away to safety.

De Canio then made his first change taking off Bob Malcolm to more than a few jeers from the home fans and bringing on Timoska. It had been a nightmare debut from Malcolm. Whether that was a one off or he really is that bad remains to be seen but it was a debut I am sure he will want to forget.

The change eased our worries at the back and we began to grow further in confidence playing some good football and the full backs began to burst forward with Barker and Sinclair linking well on the left to create a chance for the Chelsea youngster but Sinclair's shot was again well saved.

Buzsacky and Leigertwood were pulling all the strings in midfield whilst on the left Sinclair had the crowd on their feet with an outrageous piece of skill to leave two players in his wake but he was eventually crowded out by defenders.

Dexter Blackstock had made an impressive return to the first team and was replaced by Nygaard late on who continued his recent improvements with a decent display late on.

Scott Sinclair had a late chance to win it for Rangers as he set off on a blistering run down the left which had the Wednesday defence in a state of panic, he beat one man and tried to lift the ball over Grant but could only managed to find the roof of the net. Rowan Vine was furious with his teammate as he was unmarked and a simple pass across goal would had surely resulted in a winning goal for Rangers.

Buzsacky had one last effort from a free kick drop just over the bar and as the final whistle went it was hard to believe it had finished goalless.

This was an excellent football match between two sides who will surely end the season nearer the top than the bottom of the table on this evidence. The improvement in our style of football since De Canio has taken over has been incredible and at times our football was a class above what you can usually expect to see in this division.

The performance of Bob Malcolm has come in for plenty of criticism and rightly so as this was a dire debut but after a game like that I think it is worth focussing on the positives of the game rather than negatives.

At the back Damion Stewart was excellent as was Chris Barker who has been much improved since his hernia operation last month. Mancienne also did well at right back and looked far better on the ball than he has done in a while. In midfield the central duo of Buzsacky and Leigertwood are a joy to watch. Leigertwood was again strong on the ball and played some wonderful passes, he was almost Patrick Viera like at times. His work allows Buzsacky the freedom to get forward and he has been sensational at times with so much skill on the ball and the vision he has at times is great to see.

Rowlands wasn't at his best on the right but to his credit he kept going and never let his head go down whilst on the left Scott Sinclair was full of confidence and looks a hell of a prospect.

Vine and Blackstock linked well together up front in what looks a very promising partnership that could prove the source of several goals for us in the coming weeks.

A draw is probably not a great result and sees us stay in the bottom three but once again the performance will give everyone great heart that we are very close to getting the wins that our play deserves.

The games don't get easier though with two away trips this week firstly at Stoke who are always strong at home then at Blackpool who are desperate for points at the moment but if we can build on the last few performances I think we'll have enough about us to win at least one of those games.
