"...[F]or the time being, Magilton believes he has enough quality up front without having to sign a replacement for Dexter Blackstock.
He said: “I have Patrick Agyemang, Rowan Vine, Heidar Helguson, Alessandro Pellicori and Adel Taarabt, so I think I’ve got enough.
“I have got a very balanced squad and, with a few additions, they could make the difference at this level...” -The Express
Daily Express/Michael Johns - RANGERS RELY ON RAMAGE CONTROL
- PETER RAMAGE scored his first goal in professional football to ruin Ian Holloway’s return to Loftus Road.
- Colourful Blackpool manager Holloway was placed on gardening leave at QPR back in 2006, bringing an unhappy end to his tenure at the club.
- Holloway nearly had the last laugh, seeing his dogged side stifle Rangers for the majority of this match.
- Ben Burgess even had the audacity to score for the Seasiders and, despite an onslaught of pressure, QPR lacked a cutting edge.
- Their best efforts were denied by the excellent Blackpool goalkeeper Paul Rachubka, while the crossbar kept out Heidar Helguson’s attempt.
- But right-back Ramage came up with the equaliser four minutes from time with a fluke cross that somehow evaded Rachubka and earned Rangers a point.
- Sadly for Ramage, the goal was not witnessed by QPR’s co-owners Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore, who had made an early exit from their seats.
- Who could blame them, because despite further investment and the appointment of Jim Magilton as manager this performance had all the hallmarks of last season’s disappointing campaign. Plenty of possession, but toothless in attack.
- Not that Ramage was complaining after the final whistle – the former Newcastle defender saying he has settled in London a year after quitting the stricken Toon Army.
- He said: “That was my first ever goal as a professional and it’s nice to be the club’s top goal-scorer.
- “It was great because my mum and dad were in the crowd having come down from Newcastle, so it was extra special to do it in front of them.
- “I have been working on my crossing and lucky enough, it was a good bad cross.”
- Ramage is already counting down the days until he returns to St James’ Park to face the former Premier League giants relegated last season. But he says he has no regrets about leaving his boyhood club.
- He added: “I would have loved to have stayed but the offer there was not good enough, so it was an easy decision. [Former Newcastle boss] Kevin Keegan told me I could stay but said I was not going to be first-choice. I was 24 at the time, had missed a season through injury and I wanted to play.”
- Ramage, who was a striker when he signed for Newcastle as a 13-year-old, will continue to get his chance and could be employed as makeshift forward once more should Magilton run out of attacking options. But, for the time being, Magilton believes he has enough quality up front without having to sign a replacement for Dexter Blackstock.
- He said: “I have Patrick Agyemang, Rowan Vine, Heidar Helguson, Alessandro Pellicori and Adel Taarabt, so I think I’ve got enough.
- “I have got a very balanced squad and, with a few additions, they could make the difference at this level.”
While Ramage and Magilton were left with a sense of relief from their opening fixture, Holloway was wondering what might have been.
- Nevertheless he is buoyed by his side’s performance, and could not resist a parting shot at Rangers. He said: “I want to get us further up the division and for us to think bigger. I want to sign players who believe in us.
- “My lads put us in front and then QPR threw everything at us and equalised with a spawny cross that ended up in the top corner. But you cannot buy success. You can make the ground look wonderful, which they have, but you cannot magic them into a really good team.”
- QPR (4-4-2): Cerny; Ramage, Hall, Gorkss, Borrowdale; Routledge, Mahon, Rowlands, (Agyemang 61), Balanta (Buzsaky 56); Helguson (Vine 56), Taarabt. Booked: Helguson, Routledge, Buzsaky, Hall. Goal: Ramage 86.
- BLACKPOOL (4-4-1-1): Rachubka; Baptiste, Edwards, Evatt, Crainey; Taylor-Fletcher, (Ormerod 68), Southern, Adam, Vaughan (Clarke 74); Euell; Burgess. Booked: Adam. Goal: Burgess 37. - Referee: A D’Urso (Essex). The Express
