Image
QPR picked up three points at promotion chasing Sunderland to end the season Tommo was in the away end and provided some analysis of the match QPR, temporarily under the stewardship of assistant coaches Kevin Betsy and Xavi Calm due to head coach Martí Cifuentes being placed on gardening leave, arrived on Wearside with a point to prove after last weekend’s heavy defeat to already-promoted Burnley. Their hosts Sunderland, eyeing a potential return to the Premier League, were seeking a return to form after four successive defeats in the Championship . Régis Le Bris' side needed momentum ahead of the play-offs and saw this fixture as a chance to reignite their push. Our fans were in fine voice throughout Rangers made three changes to the side that had lined up in W12 seven days earlier. Joe Walsh came in for his first start of the campaign, while Ilias Chair and Michael Frey were also named in the starting eleven. Paul Nardi travelled but was left out of the matchday squad.

The goal came from a sharp move that sliced through the QPR backline, READ MORE: QPR match reports from London Super News Despite sign...

Football: Queens Rangers 1 - 2 Swansea City

Image
Swansea City held on at QPR to secure a fifth successive Championship victory.  The away side took control before half-time as QPR defender Morgan Fox turned Josh Tymon's cross into his own net.  Author - Josh D  The Welsh side deservedly doubled their advantage early in the second period when Harry Darling swept in from close range, with Rangers finally coming into the contest when Karamoko Dembele drilled in off the post with almost his first touch after coming off the bench.  However, Swansea managed to protect their lead with relative ease from that point on to ensure this was another positive day for caretaker boss Alan Sheehan.  Still mission accomplished for QPR. A few weeks ago, they were still glancing nervously towards the relegation places having struggled for consistency throughout much of the season.  Relegation to League One would have been a disaster for the club. However, recent successes such as the one away at Preston North End meant...

Football: Preston North End 1 - 2 Queens Park Rangers

QPR complete late comeback against Preston Lucas Andersen scored a sensational 93rd-minute winner to seal a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory for Queen’s Park Rangers over Preston North End at Deepdale. Author - Lauren W Preston looked to have edged a tight encounter when centre-back Liam Lindsay nodded home on the stroke of half-time, but late goals from substitutes Michael Frey and Andersen ensured QPR returned to west London with all three points. The result lifts the R’s further clear of the relegation zone in the Championship table, pulling away from a Preston side who began the day just one point behind them in 16th. In a first half short on rhythm and interrupted by many fouls, it was Preston who made the breakthrough deep into added time. Veteran full-back Robbie Brady delivered a teasing cross and Lindsay rose above his marker to crash a header past Paul Nardi for his first goal of the campaign.

QPR edge closer to safety after battling draw with Bristol City They took another important step towards Championship survival with a spirited 1–1 draw against play-off hopefuls Bristol City at Loftus Road. Author - Jack L In a game that ebbed and flowed under bright west London sunshine, Karamoko Dembélé’s early strike had threatened to tilt the afternoon in the visitors’ favour.  QPR’s midfielder George Earthy restored parity before the break, netting his first senior goal to ensure the points were shared in what was a closely contested affair. The impact on QPR's season  For Rangers, the draw builds on momentum after their midweek victory at Oxford United.

Football: Stoke City 3 - 1 Queens Park Rangers

QPR struggle as Stoke cruise to victory Queens Park Rangers endured a dismal afternoon at the bet365 Stadium, falling to a 3-1 defeat against Stoke City. Author - Lauren W The hosts seized control early on, taking a two-goal lead into the break thanks to strikes from Bae Junho and Junior Tchamadeu. Any hopes of a Rangers fightback were swiftly dashed when Million Manhoef added a third shortly after the restart. Yang Min-Hyeok did at least mark his first QPR goal with a well-taken effort late on, but it proved little more than a consolation on a frustrating day for Martí Cifuentes’ side. Stoke were dominant from the off Stoke made their intentions clear from the outset, pressing QPR high and dictating the tempo. Their breakthrough came midway through the first half when Tchamadeu picked out Junho in the box, and the South Korean made no mistake from 12 yards. The second arrived moments before the interval. Manhoef saw his initial effort saved by Radoslaw Majecki, but Tchamadeu was q...

Football: Middlesbrough 2 - 1 Queens Park Rangers

Another defeat for QPR as they remain 14th in the Championship First-half goals from Tommy Conway and Anfernee Dijksteel had put Boro in control. A late strike from Steve Cook ensured a nervy finish, with QPR pushing hard for an equaliser in stoppage time. Author - Lucy W The few hundred QPR fans that travelled up to Middlesbrough For Marti Cifuentes' QPR, who slip to 15th, this was a seventh defeat in nine, a worrying slump as they head into the season’s final stretch. The win lifts Michael Carrick’s side back to eighth, just three points behind Coventry in the final play-off spot.  Boro had endured a dire run earlier in the year, losing five in a row from late January into February, but looked to have turned a corner with back-to-back victories before their defeat at Swansea. That made Conway’s 11th-minute opener all the more significant, the striker turning in Finn Azaz’s low cross from the byline to spark a huge sigh of relief around the Riverside. Boro could have doub...
