Peter Ramage: "The lads have helped us settle in, it has been a good start and the management have been terrific.
"I thought we did quite well.
"We were a bit rusty and tired because we had a tough week in Bath but we tried to win the game because it is important to get that winning mentality."
QPR won 3-1.
Is Ramage Premiership quality? Personally, although he always gave Newcastle 100%, I didn't cry in my beer when I heard he had turned down a contract at St James' Park to go to London.
I've seen him hanging off the shirt tails of too many class wingers to believe he has the makings of greatness.
Too slow to be a full-back - too paper-weight to be a class central defender.
The Championship is about his true level.
