QPR Under-18s provided their ‘most complete performance of the season’ to beat Bristol City, according to manager Steve Gallen.





Olamide Shodipo’s 15th-minute opener set the tone before Cole Kpekawa, Ben Beckles, Ryan Young and Tyrell Mitford fired Rangers to their biggest win of the campaign on Saturday.





Following victory at Brighton seven days earlier, Gallen was pleased to see his table-topping R’s continue where they left off.





“We deserved to win 5-0,” he told www.qpr.co.uk. “We played really well. That was possibly the most complete performance of the season.





“The first 15 minutes were a little frustrating; we created plenty of chances but couldn’t score. But once we got the first goal, that settled everybody down.





“We’re moving in the right direction and it keeps improving every week.”





Saturday's latest success – the R's sixth on the spin – took their ever-improving goal tally to 15 from their last five league outings.





Gallen admitted it’s no coincidence their rich vein of form has coincided with the arrival of former R’s striker Paul Furlong, who has been promoted from his role with the Under-16s to join Gallen on the sidelines as Assistant Professional Development Coach.





“Since Paul has come in we seem to be scoring a lot more goals,” Gallen said. “You could see that again on Saturday, we were excellent going forward again.





“There was no sitting back even at 3-0, we just kept going for it. Even at 5-0 there was a mentality to try and get more.





“It really was a very good performance.”





Victory stretched the lead above second-placed Millwall to eight points ahead of the sides’ showdown at Harlington on Saturday.





Gallen knows the Lions’ visit could prove pivotal in the bid to secure a top-two berth, four days before another mouth-watering clash with Fulham at Loftus Road in the FA Youth Cup.





“We have two important games between now and Christmas,” he said. “But our full focus is on Saturday.





“Millwall are a very good team, a strong and powerful team so I expect it to be a really tight game because it has been in the last few years. Generally it’s a draw or there’s one goal in it.





“We want another good performance and that will be the league campaign over until after Christmas. We’ll give it a real, good go.”
