luton 1-0 qpr.
wayyyyyyyyy!!
Typical of Zesh Rehman. The guy's a liability in defence. Never do I want to see him donning the hoops again! A lot happier with the 3 points we got at Kenilworth Road earlier this season...survival is the priority this season. Such a grim, grim, grim year for us. Gotta hand it to your lot though, good luck on Saturday :]
haha we're gonna get hammered. i reckon 4-1 blackburn.
Luton won the right to host Premiership Blackburn in the fourth round of the FA Cup after QPR self-destructed at Kenilworth Road. The visitors had slightly the better of a forgettable first half, although neither side had many clear chances.
The drama came in the last 15 minutes, as Stefan Bailey saw red for a lunge on Ahmet Brkovic before Zesh Rehman put Dean Morgan's shot into his own net.
Morgan could have wrapped it up in injury time but blasted over the bar.
A poor pitch and wintry conditions did little to assist flowing football by either side in the first half, although the visitors just about edged it on points.
Dexter Blackstock looked dangerous early on, crossing from the left to set up a great chance for Marc Nygaard, who failed to connect at the far post.
Blackstock was involved again as he and Jimmy Smith combined to draw an excellent double save from Dean Brill as the visitors continued to have most of the few chances on offer.
QPR keeper Simon Royce had a quiet first half and when his goal suffered its most serious threat, it was self-inflicted.
Richard Langley's long pass forward into the box caused a moment of confusion between Royce and Rehman but Lewis Emmanuel's foul on Smith got the defender off the hook.
Mercifully the standard of play improved after the break but moments of genuine skill or goal threat were still conspicuous by their absence.
The match was won and lost in six minutes late on as QPR suffered a double blow.
Bailey's two-footed lunge on Brkovic saw the visitors reduced to 10 men, and as they struggled to adjust, Rehman put through his own net, diverting Morgan's off-target shot into his own net.
QPR sent on Gareth Ainsworth late on as the full cost of Nygaard's wasted chances earlier on became clear, but their desperate scrambling was all in vain.
Morgan could have finished the game in style for Luton, dribbling into the penalty area from wide on the left, only to balloon the ball over Royce's bar from eight yards.

Was listening to whole game on BBC London, sounds like Nygaard wasted UMPTEEN chances and we dominated long periods of the first half. Obviously gutted about the result but now we've got survival to focus on. No distraction of an over-dramatised 4th round TV tie this weekend; now to strengthen the midfield, sell off the deadwood and get down to business! C'mon you RRRR's!
No one yesterday but we've Blackpool away on sat in FA cup. :']
