Well done lads. Tonight's performance was almost unrecognisable from saturday's. Luke Joyce was back in centre mid and looked infinitely more comfortable there, and Symes offered more movement up front, though he didn't maybe win as much in the air as mullin might have done. There were decent chances both ways first half including a ryan free kick that symes (?) nearly followed up, and it was certainly level pegging if not stanley ahead on points at the break.

QPR offered more in the second half with their sub Taarabt on, and stanley were on the back foot a bit more. We gave the ball away a little bit more than in the first half but were still very much at the races until they scored. Once the subs (grant & kee, and later turner) were on we created three or four half chances including a good snapshot from miles, but routledge settled it for QPR, notwithstanding a decent finish by symes for the consolation.

I thought symes and joyce were both very good, and turner looked dangerous when he came on. Peter Murphy did well in the first half though he wasn't quite as composed in the second. Jimmy Ryan came off because he was on a card and had been warned by the ref but it also looked like he had picked up a bit of a knock. Not sure about mcconville playing as part of a front two - he has some lovely touches but maybe not burly enough and would be better a bit wider?
