QPR got a long-awaited first win under Jimmy Floyd Haselbaink.

The manager delighted in a 3-0 win in front of 1,286 Rs fans whose dedication in defying the wintry chill around the New York Stadium paid off big time.

So what did we learn from this?

Junior Hoilett and Matt Phillips are frustration in footballer form

No one doubts either has what it takes to be the Premier League players from where they came.

The fact that neither Hoilett and Phillips can turn it on regularly shows why clubs have yet to come forward and pluck them away from Loftus Road.

This was both at their best. Now they need to do it next Saturday at home to Wolves.

Rangers fans are amongst the best in the Championship

Hindsight being 20/20 you have to hand it to 1,286 in hoops who would rather spend a freezing January day in Rotherham instead of by their firesides.

Rs were winless in eight before this, and with no disrespect, Rotherham’s stadium might be called New York, but the town sure ain’t the Big Apple.

Nedum Onuoha gets unfair stick

Rangers fans frequently give Hoops captain a lot of grief. But Onuoha’s sliding tackle in the first half against Matt Derbyshire when the score was 0-0 proved pivotal.

Onuoha and a decent defence kept a desperate Rotherham at bay after that.

Massimo Luongo has been told to fight for his place - and boy, did he take the advice to heart!

This was probably the best performance by the Australian international since he joined from Swindon in the summer.

He has been told he’s going nowhere on loan and must fight for his place.

He did just that and had a major hand in Matt Phillips’s goal that knocked the stuffing out of the home side.

Rob Green was missing - even though the keeper has recovered from illness

Please don't tell us Rangers really are trying to stop the keeper playing the 30 games that triggers a new contract.

If so, then one hopes Hoops have got a replacement in mind during the transfer window.

Alex Smithies did no wrong against Rotherham, but with youngster Joe Lumley as the only other frontline gloveman, Rangers are asking for trouble if they stick with just the pair for the rest of the season.
