No to QPR and Luton.

The other side were hardly common opposition for us. We won 3 of our first 4 fixtures against them, then didn't win in 15.

Yes. Billy Ayre was manager for the away win.

Indeed. We went 15 without a win until Lennie's side beat them 3-0 at Ninian.

My clue of "hardly common opposition" was obviously missed as well (Posh).....
