Rangers started with a few changes to Saturday's team. With Peacock, Maddix, Morrow, Kiwomya and Ready all out it was a make shift team with Plummer and Gallen recalled to the team. Rangers started well with Darlington looking a threat on the wing and it wasn't long before Rangers got in front.

A nice build up saw Breackers cross met by Rob Steiner who headed into the bottom corner which prompted the silly pig bag dance that I love so much. My mate who came with me said we would win 3-1 at the start and it was looking like a lot more than one soon after.

Sheffield United defended like blind schoolboys, as Wardley was on hand to smash home his seventh of the season from the edge of the area. From here on it was all over. Rangers played some nice stuff including one brilliant move between Breacker, Steiner and Gallen which almost saw Breacker score but his cross shot was saved.

Matthew Rose had a long range effort fly wide and Kevin Gallen was impressing with his nice passes and crosses. Paul Murray was spraying the ball about well and back in defence Matthew Rose, Darlington, Breacker, Baraclough and Plummer were superb.

Bara was looking very skilful whilst Breacker gave his best performance for a long time using all of his experience to produce a magnificent display that I didn't think he had in him.

For United, Marcus Bent was working very hard up front but the lack of support from midfield meant that they were reduced to a few long range efforts and some set plays.

The second half began as the first did with Rob Steiner leading the line well and Paul Murray and Wardley breaking well from midfield. It was on the wings were we were causing problems with Breacker and Darlington. Darlington went on another great run using his skill and pace to hold off four players, his accurate cross found Gallen with his back to goal. His turn and shot was well saved by the keeper but Breacker was on hand to tuck home the rebound for the killer goal.

From here Rangers should have gone on to get a few more but seemed happy to sit back and hold onto the ball. Rangers did keep the ball well though which was a huge improvement on recent matches at home where we have had to sit back and hang on no matter what the score. George Kulscar was doing well breaking up the Sheffield attacks and allowing Murray and Wardley to get forward.

Gallen began to fade after 60 minutes, his range of passing had been superb but he seemed to tire along with a few others carrying knocks. Rose continued to be here, there and everywhere in a superb display whilst carrying an injury. Francis made a few changes bringing on Rowland and Weare for Murray and Steiner. Rowland seemed to be a strange choice as Langley could have shined against a very poor Sheffield United.

Rowland almost made a few chances for Weare but didn't seem to on the same wavelength and Weare appeared to struggle against the big defence. With Rangers sitting back it seemed inevitable that we would concede and miss out on sixth place. Matthew Rose went off to a standing ovation to be replaced by Tony Scully as we went 4-4-2. Rowland seemed incapable of playing left wing as Sheffield began to find space on the right wing.

Paul Devlin came on and scored a good goal after Rangers had spent the last ten minutes doing their best to concede. A few fans became nervous but it was game over and Rangers won't have an easier game all season and my mates prediction was correct.

Man Of The Match: Matthew Rose

13. Lee Harper : Didn't have much to do really 7/10

22. Jermaine Darlington : Superb again, looked very dangerous going forward and must be the buy of the year for QPR 8/10

3 Ian Baraclough: Superb, looks so good in the middle of the back three and was made captain tonight. 8/10

17. Chris Plummer : Did well, a good solid defender who you ever love or hate much like Karl Ready. 7/10

12. Matt Rose : Solid and dependable but he can't get man of the match every week. 8/10

27. Stuart Wardley : How he got man of the match was amazing. Took his goal well but did little else, mind you if we had a goalscoring midfielder like him in the Premiership we would have got into Europe. 7/10

15. George Kulscar : Did well, worked hard and much better than last season. Nice to see him do well after his illness. 7/10

7. Paul Murray : Much better tonight from Murray who can still play better and will have impressed the watching scouts. 7/10

9. Rob Steiner : Led the line well and looked very dangerous. 8/10

10. Kevin Gallen : As usual Gallen display, which will get stick if we lose and praised if we win. He did fade in the second half but he isn't fully fit. 7/10

29 Ross Weare : Not as impressed today but he is still learning 6/10

20. Tony Scully : Made a few runs but not on that long 6/10
