With the midweek Championship clash seeing Queens Park Rangers take a pretty comfortable victory over Sheffield Wednesday, positivity and optimism amongst the fanbase has obviously been given a boost.
Goals from Tomer Hemed, Luke Freeman and Nahki Wells at Loftus Road gave us the 3-0 win and it was our sixth win of the 2018/19 campaign so far and the points lifted us into 13th place in the second tier table, only four points off the Play-Off spots following Wednesday’s fixtures.
Given our start to life under head coach Steve McClaren where we couldn’t buy a win (probably Financial Fair Play related as well), the turnaround in form has been dramatic and rather bizarrely we are only six points off top spot – yet eight points from the relegation zone.
Who wouldn’t have taken that going into game 15 of the year?
3-0 against a top team. Strikers scoring. One of our own keeping another clean sheet. Pav having a stormer. One point off play-offs. Pinch me, I'm dreaming. COYRSS

Dare we mention the ‘P’ word yet?

Don't even. I've already committed to naming my first-born Bobby Zamora. I can't be having a Tomer Hemed as well.

I said we will finish top 10 this season.
We have a good manager and am so glad the club was patient with him.— Marvelous Marv (@Marvelousmarv5) October 23, 2018

Another clean sheet, a win and plenty of goals. Keep carrying this confidence into the next games and who knows where the team may end up.
