NW got his tactics and team selection spot on. Drafting in Clint Hill to defend the set pieces better and moving Traore to left midfield which caused Wilkinson all sorts of problems with his pace. Every player stood up to be counted today, subs included, but have to give special credit to HH.

Gritty performance against a gritty team. Helguson was supurb.

Again the team proved to far better without Taarrabt . He is not missed and will not be missed once sold in January

A repeat performance next week will bring another 3 points.

Brilliant!

Great performance from the R's. Ironic that we would have taken Crouch back to W12 in the summer for a small fortune with HH on our own doorstep and looking surplus to requirements. The man is unmarkable on this form. Two winnable games on the horizon.

A solid display by Dale that involved battling and some good approach play. Bergkamp made Grimes look more mobile and interested. Bunn was a problem throughout the game. The defence looked more solid.

Jones missed a penalty and Mellor missed an open goal for Preston. The referee actually booked a Preston player for diving and was correct in his decision.

As usual Poyet only set out to attack on the break and stifled us first half but there was only going to be one winner. The referee is just not worth discussing as you can recruit better in the parks locally. I want to single out the Richardson cross for the first goal - dummies to cross on his right switches to his left and then takes all the defenders out to reach Ricky at the far post - excellent.

Fantastic result outfought Stoke bully boys and our new system works a treat when every player fights for each other. I stupidly thought that we might get some credit on MOD but the Three Stooges were having none of it not even a mention! Well its time for us to beat the team that cost us the Championship in '76 next week and we will. Come on u rrrrrs!

Another great away day. Got a bit of luck with the penalty shouts, but still worth the win.

Good to see you in Mabels Tavern after the game Clive.

Agree with u RBLOCKPAT bout Three Stooges on MOTD. Dreadful programme and rarely watch it. Invested in the QPR Player and really enjoyed the commentary match yesterday and now looking forward to the highlights. I'm watchin the promoted teams with interest and would love to beat Norwich next week. We should finish above the Canaries and Swansea with all 3 stayin up.

For the first time this season we did not impose ourselves on the oposition. All credit to Bristol City they played really well and were in our faces all the time and gave us no space. We tried to play our passing game but many of the flicks and holding play just didn't come off. Chaplow suffered an injury in the first half and had to substituted by Schneiderlin. Both City goals I thought had an element of fortune but unsually we created few chances. Even the inclusion of Steeeeeve De Ridder (for Guly) and Barney (for Hammond) didn't do the trick. Is this just a blip? I will let you know at 9.00pm on Tuesday night!
