QPR 2-1 Bristol City match report: The Daily Mirror verdict
Published 22:30 27/12/09

Akos Buzsaky reckons the Hoops are back on course for the Premier League now Jim Magilton has been given the boot.

The Hungarian spoke for the first time since becoming the centre of the dressing room bust-up that cost Magilton his job.

Buzsaky has been banned by the club from reliving the moment Magilton allegedly went forehead to forehead with a player he had accused of not trying hard enough in a defeat at Watford.

But he made it clear he reckoned Loftus Road was a far happier place now the genial Paul Hart is gaffer.

That means a faltering promotion challenge is back on and Buzsaky intends to prove it on the pitch starting today at Ipswich - ironically another club that dispensed with Magilton’s services not so long ago.

He said: “I’m very confident that this year is going to be the year for QPR, to be at least in the play-offs.

“I’m sure the club and all the players are happy and we are very together.

“We look like a group and we can fight for each other. That is the starting point - from there you can play well.

“Everyone can see the attitude now. Everyone is relaxed and just wanting to get wins by fighting for one another, which is important in a team game.

“We have had two games so far with the new manager and we have four points. If you get four points every two games you will be promoted.”

The Loftus Road faithful are not so sure though and actually booed the players off on the final whistle.

They had been disappointed to see Hart’s boys out-played by an out-of-form Bristol City side and told them “You’re supposed to be at home”. But Buzsaky insisted: “The fans need to understand that every game is different. Sometimes you play brilliantly and score four or five, sometimes you need to hold on to a lead.

“They need to understand that football is all about points and if we want to get promoted or get in the play-offs we need three points.

“When they go home and think about it they will realise the three points were better than playing well and losing.”

Rangers had done nothing until Jay Simpson pounced to give them a first-half lead and City were shocked when Mikele Leigertwood thumped home a second from range a few minutes later.

The Robins kept plugging away but were rewarded only by Nicky Maynard’s goal of the season contender, a volley into the top corner after he had flicked the ball over two defenders.

Robins boss Gary Johnson made it clear he expected better at home to Watford today - or else he would start putting names on the transfer list.

He said: “They are all playing for their futures now. Deep down they knew that but it’s easier to understand now I’ve actually said it.

“I’ve had some of these lads for three or four years now. Some of them can get turned on and be turned round by that type of statement and can recover and come through it.

“Some can’t, so I will move them on
