FT. 5-0.

Well, that was actually fun.

Their keeper Bazzed three of them but that shouldn't take anything away from a great performance. 

Azaz, Scienza, Matsuki, Larin particularly good, and Edozie looked great when he came on. 

Well done boys. Up to seventh, lovely stuff

one of my favourite moments was Larin holding it up like a tank in the second half, such a difference to our powderpuff style of recent times

Fantastic result, and fair play to Eckert for going 4-2-2 and pushing for more at the end.

Shame about the other results and Charlton on the weekend, but keep going over the next few matches and its on...

Great win. QPR were shite and their keeper was awful but we took our chances and apart from the first half lull, we were very good. Larin was excellent, Leo much better in the second half, Fin good, Bree good, even Manning was decent. But for his 2 goals, I'm giving MOTM to Kuryu. Works hard. He has the spot over Fellows for me currently.

2nd half miles better than the 3rd.

Everyone played well, but Leo, Azaz and Larin were just the level above.

It cannot be disputed that we have one of the best squads' in the league.

Only 15 points off top spot. We can still win the League. 

If we win every match we should get autos.

I mean, their keeper was absolutely diabolical and QPR imploded second half, but that was a lot of fun. Downes and Larin were excellent.

Larin would have been my MotM... Think he played an instrumental part in all of the goals he was on the pitch for?

I agree, we know about his strength, but I was impressed tonight by how composed he was on the ball once he held the ball up, picking out the right passes. Also worked his socks off unselfishly. Gives Tonda a decision to make in next match between him and Stewart.

Oh and fuck you Charlie Austin, you fat knacker

He was pretty positive in his post match comments just now. Certainly more pro-Saints than Lee Hendrie was as commentator.

I would just like to point out since I predicted some weeks ago we would never lose another game we are unbeaten

I know. I'm being harsh, I just think he's a knob.

7 unbeaten, free scoring and a clean sheet when not even playing that well - I'll take that every game if the team wants to serve that up to us.

Tonight was a good one all round , how enjoyable ...

Glad to see an Azaz masterclass. Wonderful passer of the ball. Yes he's inconsistent, but if he was any better he wouldn't be playing for us!

Big shouts out for Larin for leading the line so well, Leo for a much better 2nd half, Harwood Bellis for another very composed game and Matsuki for 2 very nicely taken goals.

I'm starting to like this team again!

He is a knob.

He also was pretty fair tonight. The two things can still be true, Charlie Austin will in fact always be a complete knob.

Parklife!

Our results against Hull and Millwall this season (1 point from the 4 games) look like they could cost us. 

Loss to Blackburn was criminal, Leo off, Stephens on in CM.

I don't wish to be negative after such a great result, but it pisses me off big time that it took Sport Republic so f***ing long to wake up to the need for a proper powerful / strong / experienced striker in the mould of Lambert, Pelle, etc. so bleedin' obvious...

Yep he produces moments of quality which is why we’ll have to accept there are some games when he might not contribute much but moments like Fratton Park and tonight are why he has to play

Wednesday and West Brom next two. Should be looking at 6 points there if we play like today.

Worth pointing out as well that Manning was alright today after being a liability in previous matches. Good to see.

QPR were terrible. Manning looks ok when he doesn’t have to defend.

Every time we play well it annoys me that we fucked up the start of the season so much. No decent striker, Fellows at rb, loaning out Bree and playing three at the back, Bazunu in goal. Just so frustrating if this season ends up being a waste that even a slightly better start would have seen us comfortably in the playoffs and looking towards automatics.

Watched the first half before halftime and saw only a draw at best. Just checked the final score and could not believe it!

I watched the second half before half time, it was weird.

I don't think they looked that bad first half to be honest. They were the better team for about twenty five minutes after the first goal.

He had a few shaky moments in the first 15 mins or so, but after HT they didn't offer any threat at all and he was able to just meander forward without having to worry about defending.

Must give a nod to their keeper. Pretty influential in a couple of our goals

I can't believe we've found a worse keeper than Bazunu in the league this year. I didn't think it was possible.
