New boss Warnock off to a flier

06 March 2010 18:23
Neil Warnock had an immediate impact in his first game as QPR manager by masterminding a 3-1 victory over promotion-chasing West Brom. Warnock, who quit Crystal Palace to join Rangers this week, looked on as goals from Jay Simpson, Matt Connolly and Akos Buzsaky secured only their second win in 12 matches. Had every managerial change at Loftus Road had this effect Rangers would have had the title sewn up long ago. As it is Warnock, the club's fifth new boss this season, will be happy the west Londoners now have a little more breathing space above the relegation zone. Chris Brunt pulled one back for Albion but they fell to a costly defeat which leaves them nine points behind Newcastle at the top of the Championship.
