I was concerned about Beale before this game, but he got tactics spot on today. We looked a very good side from the off against a multi million pound team. Keep it up on Tuesday.

I'm not sure how we could be worried about Beale after five matches as a new manager, with an unlucky injury record and a whole host of missed chances, which means at least we were making them.
In a league where Reading are top and Middlesbrough 18th, where Blackburn won their first three matches and lost their next three, QPR losing and drawing a couple of matches against lower viewed sides is barely worth raising an eyebrow.
However, the Twitterati were seemingly getting their knickers in a twist, so it was an important win to shut up the quivering hordes.
But I hope we give him a bit more of a chance than that.

Spot on. Far too soon and not a full strength team. He has got certain players in with a particular style of play in mind

Not just Twitter and FB: some of the negativity this week on here since the WLS article and the signing of Balogun has been ridiculously histrionic. Great win today: let’s follow it up on Tuesday and push on.

Funny thing is that we’ve dropped points in the two home ‘bankers’ vs Blackpool and Rotherham but won vs Middlesbrough and Watford. Who would’ve called that at the start of the season. Very on brand for QPR, albeit you can always bank on us losing to Blackburn away!
Anyway, six games into the season and we’ve been good value for money with two 3-2 wins and 2-2 draw with last minute goals including our keeper scoring. I’m enjoying it and been a bit surprised by some of the negativity on here which feels more general life related than QPR.

Was very happy with that today - I get home quicker then a home game too lol very disappointed by Watford before I worried about the quality Of strikers but Saar was poor defensively they was shocking. Great all round performance - negativity from me more aimed at the strange decisions the board make not MB
Beale rightly mentioned in his interview after the game that after the Boro win the results after were a let down and we must guard against that with Hull. It would be typical of us to follow an upbeat away win with a sluggish home performance. We will have to be careful as our striker doesn't score and Hull's striker got three poachers goals in the six yard box today.

Spot on nix. It’s early. Back the bloke.
Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?

Yup, Clive seemed to lose it in his preview, felt betrayed by Beale’s inconsistency in going for Balogun. Case not proven!!

His real triumph today was the - at the time baffling - substitution of Adomah for Dykes after an hour with the score at 2-2. Here we go, I thought, brace yourself for the armchair analysts ranting at the apparent absurdity of taking off our target man and replacing him with a player whose job is to get crosses into the box. The game was finely poised at this point, and it was just beginning to look as if we might have to strap everything down just to get a draw. Also, Dykes had had a decent game, putting himself about and winning most things in the air - his game seemed far from over. However, with Adomah joining Chair and Willock in a remodelled front three, we were a lot more mobile in the final third and began to worry away at Watford's back line. There was less time and opportunity for them to ping balls into the space just behind our defence, and more to worry about with a more effective pressing game forcing them into errors and winning the ball in dangerous areas. We scored our third shortly after and kept this formation until the closing stages, when - more brave substitutions - we finished the game without Willock and Chair. Good stuff Mick!

That was a great sub. Fair play.
At the time, I thought it was just designed to get Chair and Willock into space for diagonal low balls and for us to hold up the ball that way, and maybe, maybe, for Adomah to help our right back as a bonus. It seems, though that the latter was the main focus, well explained by Beale afterwards. It worked a treat.

Win or lose, our matches are almost always close, usually the difference is a single goal. It's almost as if we play up – or down – to the level of our opposition. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing but at least it keeps games interesting until the final whistle!

Must leap to the defence of Clive here. He was channelling what many of us were FEELING with that preview and it had the usual caveats about 'what do I know'. Well, as it turns out he knows a lot and his concern about shipping in a Manager's Mate who is 34 are still valid. Also, you know Mr LFW match reports was losing it in the Away End with the rest of you. Can't have it both ways: praise him constantly for the highest quality journalism there is on QPR bar none and then have a go for 'seeming to lose it'. He writes very personally and that's what we want rather than Mirror and Sun pablum spoon-fed from agents pablum. Also the fact that the two Ds of Dunne and Dickie did well...despite the Dickie dwelling on the ball horror of Watford goal 2.. could be spun as showing how little we need Balogun. Anyway the post-match comments from our Glorious Leader Beale seemed to indicate he sees his old mate centre half as a leader for a young team: only four players over 25.

Couldn't disagree with you more in all particulars, right down to your needlessly sarky/resentful 'Glorious Leader' swipe at Beale, who couldn't be more intelligently down to earth if he tried. While yesterday's result was really creditable, encouraging and happily surprising, getting it certainly had its fortuitous and worrisome elements, including the outrageous deflection for Chair's opener, Laird's and Dickie's lamentable failings for both of their replies, and the fortunate, if I guess technically correct in view of the current technical revisioning of the offside law, disqualification of what would have been their probably undeserved equaliser. Beale acknowledged as much in his post-match comments, and, while he was right to praise the work of Chair and Willock in our apporach play, as well as our overall shape, won't be getting carried away, as he knows we're very much a work in progress. (It did surprise me how comfortable we were for much of the 2nd half, however, as Watford really faded.)
As to Clive's writing, much as I enjoy his eloquently opiononated/partisan style as much as the next wo/man, he doesn't 'channel' me or anyone. This is a friendly and sometimes fractious online football forum, not a spiritualist church! Try to realise you're an individual too - nothing more and nothing less. His Socratic 'what do I know' schtick is clever, if perhaps a bit formulaic - it allows him to say what he likes while winning brownie points for (rhetorical) humility. (It also reminds me of this snippet from Curb Your Enthusiasm about the popular use of the phrase 'having said that'.)
I'd say Beale has twigged that Dunne and DIckie in a defensive three, four or any number you like is going to mean squeaky bum time for him and us more frequently than we'd like over the course of the season, and he's sensibly brought in an experienced and high-achieving centre back to help steady the ship, much as we did with Frank McLintock in the mid-70s team. I liked the player's interview, and this squad also need pressure on places, experienced cover and and quality performers, including in centre midfield and, as any of us with a pair of working eyes can see, centre forward. Now he needs to go to Villa and bring in Cameron Archer to fire in a few more arrows, and add some quality and steel in the centre of the park if he can.
Beale and Warburton are chalk and cheese, and it's obvious to me we've had a significant management upgrade. Yesterday's performance reminded me in some ways of our win at Middlesborough last season - flair going forwards, good in parts, and vulnerabilities at the back. Meanwhile, our job is to support the team and the project, and yesterday's events certainly makes that job easier. If we can muller Hull on Tuesday, things really will be looking up.

I think Clive has been a little unnerved by Beale's flip-flopping in terms of what he said in July compared to what he said in August; personally I think he's a little naive being his 1st Head Coach's role in telling the fans too much about his plans and overly praising a few individual players (Willock + Chair) in what is a team game, likewise criticising the midfield + defence and always referencing the players we are missing (his signings) and the players he wants to bring in.
Like the bloke, hope he does well, but just like I saw Holloway make some bizarre changes and get away with it, feel Beale got away with one today, but he deserved his change in luck.

I think this is spot on. People who are always looking for a negative generally have other stuff going on in their lives that is making them unhappy. The way things currently are in the UK, I can see why now more than ever people might be feeling like this.
It's about time the population stood up, realised they've been had by the idiots running the country, stopped reading propaganda filled newspapers and did something about it.
Beale is a very talented guy imho and we are lucky to have him. I have faith he'll do a very good job for us and results like yesterday can only help.
