Gary O'Neil

[QPRDave]

Not a popular player I know but credit where it's due - I thought he put in a decent solid performance and one of our better players tonight.

He did very well.....agree Stan

[Hove Ranger]

Totally agree about O'Neil. MOTM for me. We look alot more solid with him and barton in the middle. Ned had another good game which was needed as Dunne seems off the pace at the moment. Also like to give a mention to hoilett, who i thought did his defensive duties well and seemed quite up for it (which is a rarity)

Funny how players perform better when not played out of position, isn't it?

[maidstone_hoop]

Hes a work horse and exactly what we needed with harry going for it with traore hoillett in the team

[Qprtanpa1]

Monday's optimal lineup:
Green
Simpson Onouha Hill Yun
Hoilett Barton Oneill Traore
Austin

Subs:
Murphy
Hughes or Dunne (we only need one reserve back)
Carroll
Benayoun
Henry
Zamora (in case we go to penalty kicks)
Doyle

I know we are confident but 10 players?

I don't understand it, when we got him I thought that was the reason he was brought in, to play CM/DM, all very strange but let's hope it works out for the best moving forward, we just need to switch the wingers and it's job done!

[Qprtanpa1]

Oops -- 10 IS a little bold -- forgot to include Ravel.

[californiahoop]

I don't have the dislike for TC that some have for him on here but I am really glad Harry chose O'Neil in this away leg! Maybe we'll see Carrol at some point Monday, possibly starting?

I hope not, I hope gets the same bus as Benny.

o'neill worked hard chasing down , making the opp play the ball . , he did the ugly stuff well last nite

[Stanley]

Another warrior-like performance tonight, barring his nightmare pass back to Green...

Ouch: A tooth flies from the mouth of Gary O'Neil after a challenge from Shaun Maloney


Toothless: Maloney (left) charges into O'Neil during the first half at Loftus Road


The tooth hurts: O'Neil spent several minutes on the groun as QPR medics assessed the problem


Soldiering on: O'Neil managed to play on despite losing a tooth after the collision


Holy molar: The 30-year-old midfielder played on with a piece of cotton wool in his mouth

Thought he was pretty woeful tonight, the one poor performer.

Agreed albeit not the time for that.

Tooth. Ouch!!

[maidstone_hoop]

him and hoillet technically were poor but cant fault either for the effort - oneil certainly put a hell of a shift in and disrupted a lot of wigans possession game...you need players like oneil in certain games and he played his part in the win.

[Midgeyboy]

OOOOOOOHHHHHH!!! That is clean out.
