Many QPR fans have reacted on Twitter after Liam Kelly was seen on Saturday running around in a cap during his side’s 2-2 draw against Birmingham City.
A hint of spring was in the air as the sun came out on West London and Scottish ‘keeper Kelly had some issue with the sun in his eyes, so he slipped a cap on to stop the light out coming in, much to the enjoyment of many QPR fans.
Two in-form sides in Birmingham City and QPR both met while being placed in the middle of the division.
Scott Hogan opened the scoring for the away side, before a goal from Marc Pugh and then some great teamwork from the R’s saw the club take a 2-1 lead.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be as Hogan grabbed his second of the game to make sure that both sides shared a point.
Who should play in goal?
Liam Kelly
Joe Lumley
Nevertheless, Kelly, who has established himself as the number 1 at the club in recent weeks was receiving lots of praise for his old school move.
Here are some of the replies below…

Both clubs are outside chances for the playoffs and are hitting form at the right time.
They are both nine points shy of Preston in 6th and also have a nine-point gap building between Middlesbrough.
Liam Kelly has had to work hard to become number 1 after battling with Joe Lumley, but with nine games on the bounce, he looks to have it for the time being. In fact, since then, they have not conceded more than twice in a game, which isn’t bad considering they have the second-worst defensive record in the league.
He has conceded 24 goals in 15 games, keeping the three assists.
