    He's certainly hit the ground running, he makes things look easy.

    There'll be a few hoping it goes belly up 2nd half so they can get their typing fingers going.
    Hope it doesn't and you can share the rest of that pie around.
    That half on its own, lifts the spirits.

    Excellent half that' lets hope that schopps tactics are just kicking in with the lads' but has anyone noticed that this season as the players walk off the field Cauley always seems to be whinging over summat' not much to moan about in that 45 Cauley lad...

    QPR have used all their subs. Bit risky.

    This Barnsley side is making QPR look disorganised with the fluid movement, fast one touch passing, powder puff with their aggressive press and tackling and toothless up front with the speed of the centrebacks. Wonderful stuff. QPR forced into a double change with ten minutes of the first half still to play. It really could have been more with a couple of shots dragged wide, a decent near post save and Kitching's near post header going wide.

    I hope for more of the same in the second half, not changing tactics to let them back into the match.

    Fair play to QPR, their manager heard bellowing "Stay on your feet, don't foul!" so at least they are trying to do it the right way.

    Long way to go, obvs, but this seems a classic case of QPR believing their own hype a bit too soon. They didn't seem up for any sort of battle....maybe thought they just had to turn up and we'd roll over. Warburton's no mug though, I'd expect a different game this half.

    Not that I’d advocate kicking the opposition but they have had 3 subs now :)

    All 3 QPR subs used now so that should be to our advantage.

    So far, this game is exactly what I wanted to see from us this season. Keeping the really energetic high pressing and combining it with a bit more liquid football in the middle.

    I will quite happily take as much of this as the club are willing to serve up!

    Sign of a great player when they make it look easy. Always remember the short period we had Jan Molby on loan. Couldn't move, but he was class.

    I wouldn’t want to detract from our performance at all in that half. We didn’t let them settle for one second and I would say it was more about us imposing our shape, press and composure on them rather than them not being up for it.

    We forced that performance out of QPR. They were rattled and shell shocked.
