A Win at last for Gerry Francis in his second spell in command. Once again I couldn't make the match so I had to make do with ceefax updates whilst watching Man Utd thrash some foreign team.

The delight I felt was shared by all the other QPR fans in the world at seeing us pull off of the bottom of the table. My Dad went to the match, his views were that in the first half we were superb, going back three years into a team which could pass to each other and look like a football team.

Morrow and Rose especially were a revelation but Ready is still shit. As for the goals, well Debut boy Richard Langley got us underway after eleven minutes with a well-taken goal inside the box.

Kevin Gallen added a second before half time after a great move involving Sheron and Murray. Barnsley got back into the game after some poor defending after half time and went on to hit the woodwork a few times and miss several good chances.

On another day we would have lost 6-2 but today the team worked together and battled for a well earned win. Barnsley were not better than us, it was just that we went into our shells when they made it 2-1.

The down side was injuries to Murray and Rose but in just over three weeks, Gerry Francis has found a real football team from a rabble not fit for Sunday league Football. Still loads to do but this could be the start of a brighter future.

Man of the Match: Steve Morrow
