Our second 3-2 win in three days and anything other than a Rangers victory would have been a travesty. The R's dominated the entire game and only two defensive rickets gave County any hope of a victory. Holloway kept faith with the side that achieved a fantastic win at Tranmere on Saturday. The Loftus Road faithful were given a chance to see exactly what Jerome Thomas could do and he didn't disappoint. Former Rangers man Ian Baraclough lined up for County.

Rangers should have taken the lead in the first five minutes. Kevin Gallen managed to put a free header wide and County punished us almost immediately. Their stock in trade all afternoon was the long ball aimed at Heffernan and Allsopp and one such ball caught Danny Shittu in two minds. He wasn't sure whether to control it or clear it and did neither. The ball fell to Allsopp who in turn fed Heffernan for an easy finish.

Gallen nearly pulled Rangers level with a stinging volley just wide. Steve Palmer also missed a free header when well placed. Gallen missed his third good chance of the game with another volley after good work from Langley.

With only fifteen minutes played Andy Thomson's long-term back injury seemed to flair up again and Dominic Foley replaced him. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the last we saw of Thommo this season, as the back is still fragile. He needs to be given a chance to rest it before pre-season and we may be better served to just leave him out for the remaining three games.

Shittu's second error of the game saw Rangers fall two behind. Allsopp crossed from the left and Shittu managed to totally misjudge it. Ian Baraclough stole in behind him to side foot home. It was always going to happen. Players with crappy goal scoring records for us always seem to get one on their return. It was nice that Bara didn't celebrate his goal; it showed that Rangers still hold a place in his heart. The Loft even afforded him a round of applause before the inquests started.

Just as the crowd prepared to send the team in to a chorus of boos the Notts County lead was halved. Gavin Peacocks corner pinged round the box and finally found it's way to Thomas. His effort seemed to be going in but Shittu made sure from no more than a yard.

Thomas had been turning in yet another fantastic performance and it was clear to see that County knew all about him. They attempted to put two men on him whenever possible but this seemed to make little odds to him. Time and again he mugged whoever was on him mush to the delight of the Loftus Road crowd. If we can hang onto him for next season he will become a massive fan favourite.

Foley nearly dragged Rangers level just after half time. Good work from Gallen saw the ball fall into his path but his blistering volley crashed into the bar with Garden well beaten.

By now the Rangers attacks were relentless and it only seemed a matter of time before the equaliser came. When it did it came from an unlikely source in Matthew Rose. Yet another corner was fired in and once again County failed to clear their lines. Shittu picked up the ball on the left wing and fired over a cross, which Rose headed firmly past Garden.

Terrell Forbes nearly claimed his first goal for the R's following a great passing move involving five players. He found himself in front of goal but had an attack of the Paul Parkers. His tame effort floated over the bar when he should really have done better. It would have been no more than Forbes deserved at the end of a season that will surely see him crowned young player of the year.

With five minutes left Rangers grabbed the winner. Dominic Foley was played in and he coolly slotted a left footed effort into the corner. It was a great finish from a player who had a massive impact after his introduction. He demonstrated why Holloway thinks so highly of him with a tremendous display of the target mans art. He has a good touch and can clearly finish.

The final whistle was met with cheers of relief as much as celebration. This was a deserved victory and one that the team worked really hard for. Many Rangers sides of the past would have rolled over after going two goals down but not any more. The spirit and belief they showed in their ability was tremendous and will surely stand us in good stead for next season.

Holloway has said that he wants to bring in a couple of Premiership youngsters for the whole season and surely Jerome Thomas has to be one of those. He could do a lot worse than secure the long-term services of Foley as well as he is far better than division two standard.

We have given ourselves the faintest chance of a play off place but the ultimate aim must be automatic promotion next term.
