Leroy Fer and Bobby Zamora struck on Tuesday night as QPR gained their first away win of the season with a victory at Sunderland.

Heaven knows why QPR owner Tony Fernandes decided to send his "dream" tweet out so close to the 2-0 win at Sunderland on Tuesday. The message had an undercurrent of playground taunt "I know something you don't know," and goaded people unnecessarily, but by the end of the evening it was caretaker boss Chris Ramsey who looked the clever one.

The interim man has been a breath of fresh air at the club's Harlington base and at matches. His decisions have been bold and brave. He has had his best-laid plans blighted by injuries to key players, but the win at the Stadium of Light highlighted how shrewd a coach he is.

Lineups and Stats

Good managers might have the best agents on speed dial and have the media on their side, but a good coach, which Ramsey is proving to be, can get the maximum out of a group of players. That maximum might be magnificent or it might be poor but as long as it is the maximum, he is doing his job to full effect.

And that is what Ramsey did on Saturday, when he was unlucky to lose, and especially on Tuesday. Charlie Austin, Richard Dunne and Nedum Onuoha were all ruled out with injuries and Adel Taarabt was too shattered from his shock weekend start to begin the match.

Ramsey was forced to play a side with an average age of 29 with a handful of players, like Rio Ferdinand and Niko Kranjcar, who have underperformed so far this season and would not have featured in his team without the sudden spike in injuries. He also used Shaun Wright-Phillips as a substitute, who was persona non grata under previous boss Harry Redknapp and gave a Premier League debut to a Rangers rarity -- an academy graduate, Michael Doughty.

Any side that plays against Sunderland is always going to have half a chance when manager Gus Poyet insists on playing towering striker Connor Wickham left-wing but Rangers needed more than half a chance with the problems they faced, and Ramsey gave them that.

Think I have got my dream manager. Not what anyone thinks. Take a while. Still a bit to go but I'm very happy. Press all wrong. - Tony Fernandes (@tonyfernandes) February 10, 2015

Leroy Fer was constantly played on the left-wing by the previous manager and rarely played to his potential but in his new central role he is flying, with a goal on Tuesday. And Matt Phillips, with pace and power and a direct style of play, is an ideal player for a relegation fight who is having his confidence rebuilt by Ramsey.

Plenty of fans were elated by Fernandes identifying his dream manager but it brings a sense of deja vu, an air of desperation to appear upbeat and in control when three managers have already ruled themselves out of the running. When he appointed Mark Hughes, Fernandes was delighted and Harry Redknapp was his "number one target, the unanimous choice of the board."

Instead of causing another media scrum with vague mentions of dreams, Fernandes should wake up and just make sure his appointment has a lot of the characteristics Ramsey is displaying. That would give him a fair chance of making sure this latest dream doesn't turn into another nightmare.
