November 1999: QPR 2 Walsall 1
www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~stewa/index/reports/walsall20_11_99.htm
RANGERS rediscovered the winning scent, but they made life difficult for themselves as they scraped a narrow 2-1 victory over lowly Walsall. First half goals from Stuart Wardley and Chris Kiwomya were enough to secure the points as Gerry Francis' me banished the blues of last week's defeat at Crystal Palace. In a rather uninspiring opening half hour, neither side was able to establish any real rhythm or pattern of dominance, but that was until the game dramatically burst into life. Striker Rob Steiner, clipped a delightful ball through for Wardley, and the marauding midfielder made no mistake when faced by Walker as he coolly placed the ball into the back of the net.
Just three minutes later and Rangers had doubled their lead after a neat move. Wardley laid the ball out to Tim Breacker on the right hand side. The full-back then whipped in a cross, and Kiwomya darted in to head the ball down past a bewildered Walker in the visitor's goal. Four minutes before half-time though and Walsall grabbed themselves a lifeline. Michael Ricketts pounced on a mistake by Steve Morrow as the Northern Ireland international slipped, and the Saddlers striker tucked the ball past Lee Harper. Before the interval, Rangers had a further opportunity to increase their lead again, but Gavin Peacock's header thudded against the crossbar.
After the break, Ricketts proved to be a livewire for the visitors as he shot over, and then saw his shot deflected narrowly wide of the Rangers goal. The R's hit back with Wardley's header parried by Walker following Rowland's free-kick, and then Steiner and Breacker both blazed wide of the target. All in all, manager, Francis, was delighted with the victory especially as the R's were shorn of several key players, most notably Danny Maddix and Karl Ready. Although they made heavy weather of disposing of a workmanlike Walsall outfit, they return to the winning trail and reignite their promotion dreams.

Walsall 2 QPR 3
Last Updated: June 19 2012, 15:18 BST
Walsall sank deeper into relegation trouble with this defeat at the Bescot
Stadium while Rangers enhanced their play-off hopes.
The Saddlers, who conceded four goals to Charlton in their previous home
match, let in three this time and that type of defending will send them back to
Division Two.
It took Rangers only 11 minutes to open them up when Mikkel Beck, on loan from
Derby, won a header to release Chris Kiwomya down the right.
He whipped a low cross into the goalmouth where Walsall midfielder Bjarni
Larusson knocked the ball into his own net trying to slide it away for a
corner.
To make matters worse the defence blundered again four minutes later following
a free-kick, no one picking up Stuart Wardley who hammered his 14th goal of the
season.
There looked no way back for Walsall at that point, but with two new players
in the side - Graham Fenton and Paul Hall - they rallied.
In the 36th minute Mark Robins hit the bar and defender Tony Barras was on the
spot to smash home his fifth goal of the season.
It could have been even better for Walsall because a minute from half time,
Pedro Matias beat Lee Harper with a tremendous shot from 30 yards which
rebounded from the bar.
But Walsall's revival paid off again in the 63rd minute, a neat move ending
with Fenton heading the ball down into to the path of Hall who marked his debut
with a tremendous right foot shot into the roof of the net.
At that point the Saddlers looked capable of winning, but in the 73rd minute
Rangers broke free to grab the winner.
Wardley beat the defence down the left hand side of the penalty box and
although his cross seemed to have gone too far beyond the far post Kiwomya
reached it to clinch all three points with a stunning right foot drive into the
top corner.
Walsall fought hard to try and save a point, but Rangers held on and are now
unbeaten in nine league games.
Teams:
Walsall: Walker, Marsh, Barras, Viveash, Padula,
Hall (Wrack 80), Larusson, Vlachos, Matias,
Fenton (Eyjolfsson 80), Robins.
Subs Not Used: Roper, Brightwell, Keates.
