Joey Barton led QPR to their second victory of the season with a 3-0 away win
over high-fliers Wolves at Molineaux today.
Barton opened the scoring after just 8 minutes before Alejandro Faurlin doubled that lead 2
minutes later before DJ Campbell completed the rout with 3 minutes remaining in this niggly
affair which seen Barton confront the referee at full time following a wayward challenge
on Anton Ferdinand by Karl Henry.
After a largely inactive summer, a late spending spree sanctioned by new owner Tony Fernandes
has done wonders for Queens Park Rangers' squad by giving Neil Warnock a much deeper and talented
pool of players to work with.
This new-found quality in the team has turned QPR from a likely relegation candidate to a side
that can perhaps push into the mid-table region and cause a few upsets along the way.
It's our first away trip to QPR since 1995 and we're in dire need of a better result than the
1-0 loss we suffered that day after the downbeat nature of our Carling Cup exit.
With Darren Bent and Emile Heskey injured, here's how the managers will go looking for three
points today:
QPR Aston Villa 1 Patrick Kenny 1 Shay Given 18 Luke Young 2 Alan Hutton 35 Anton Ferdinand 6 James

Queens Park Rangers 1-1 Aston Villa Premier League September 25 2011
Aston Villa came within touching distance of registering a valuable win at Loftus Road before
man-mountain Richard Dunne put through his own net in injury-time to level the scores.
Up the R's As we all know, Stiliyan Petrov's hands are well known for their miraculous touch. On
Sunday, QPR defender Anton Ferdinand felt the benefit of the Saint's healing hands during his
regular early season prostate check-up.
