Rangers produced another impressive
away performance to grab a point at Cardiff, the first team to take
anything away froM ninian Park since December.
Paulo Sousa made three changes to the
side that lose to Ipswich with Cerny, Stewart and Helguson replacing
Camp, Hall and Di Carmine.
I was unable to get to this game so
here are the thoughts of Dave Thomas, editor of A Kick up the R's,
who was at the game and he posted this on the QPR Yahoo Mailing
List.

Rangers were as good against Cardiff
as they were bad against Ipswich.
It was that marked a difference. No
real surprise to those of us who watch the team home and away, and
see a difference confidence about them on the road, but pleasing
all the same.
We made what is probably a decent Cardiff side look
ordinary - and the evidence to demonstrate just how dominant we
were could be found in the silence of the home crowd at the end
of a first-half that was all Rangers. And at the end of the 90 minutes,
the second-half of which had
seen Cardiff come out fired up only to find Rangers had similarly
stepped it up a gear, the home fans knew they were perhaps fortunate
to have got a draw.
Not many sides will go to Ninian Park and dominate
quite so comprehensively, but that's what Rangers did, looking strong
in defence (no Hall... go figure), controlling midfield and creating
chances from out wide. Cerny had only one (easy) save to make in
the entire game, and
was a spectator for most of it. We didn't create too many chances
ourselves but always looked the more likely to score.
I accept it might look different on the video - but
we appeared to have the most blatant penalty of this or any other
season waved away, when Cook appeared to be tripped in the box.
Perhaps QPR World will show it and someone can tell me if it really
was as clear cut as it looked from our end of the ground.
Match the performance on Saturday, and we should
be leaving Oakwell happy travellers.
