On today's programme Championship QPR 0 Bristol City 0 Rangers were held to a goal less draw by an improving Bristol City in W12 in a lunchtime encounter - a fair result as neither side really did enough to take the three points.  The Hoops were unbeaten in five league games against City - now under the guidance of former Fulham and England boss Roy Hodgson - and were looking to complete the league double over the Robins for the first time since 2002-03, but the Robins were u

The Foxes, who won the Premier League in 2016, ended the day in 23rd spot and remain locked in a relegation struggle with West Bromwich Albion, Oxford United, Blackburn Rovers and Portsmouth. QPR trailed to a Jordan James strike from outside the penal

The north-east visitors enjoyed a comfortable afternoon of possession football with Julien Stephan's men failing to hurry them sufficiently to knock them off their stride. It is a source of frustration for Hoops fans that during

Matrade musings. The QPR boss post match : Picture by Julian Taylor Julien Stephan accused his players of mentally 'throwing in the towel' after conceding the third goal in Saturday's deflating 3-1 home defeat to Blackburn Rovers. And he suggested that the play-offs may not be a realistic target - even though his side are still only four points adrift of sixth place. Rangers started impressively enough, causing Rovers problems, but were hit with three sucker-punches - the thi

W12 offering for today Championship QPR (1) 1 Saito 35 Blackburn Rovers (2) 3 Jorgensen 21, 39, Morishita 50 The Hoops missed the chance to edge closer to the coveted top six places as they fell to a disappointing home defeat to a Blackburn side who started the day in the bottom three. Having defeated long-time Championship league leaders Coventry City in their previous outing at Loftus Road, hopes were high that Julien Stephan's men could ride the wave and keep the momentum

Hoops keeper Joe Walsh has earned praise from the boss after he enjoyed another shut out in an away game - playing his part in the 0-0 draw at Charlton on Friday night . The stopper - who has been out on loan at Dorking, Maidenhead and Accrington in recent seasons - is desperate to nail down a regular slot between the sticks for QPR and is doing his chances no harm. He impressed during a torrid first half for the R's at the Valley and confidence is growing after three success

Friday night is derby night at the Valley : Picture by @YTJourno Championship Charlton Athletic 0 QPR 0 QPR's sudden fondness for 0-0 draws on the road extended to a third successive away day as their solid defence withstood a first-half onslaught to earn a share of the spoils at the Valley. It's now seven away games without a win but it feels like a decent enough follow-up to the excellent win against league leaders Coventry last week. Rangers remain just outside the play-of

Exorcising the memory of a horror day : Picture by @capitalfootball Championship QPR 2 (0) Kone 66, Madsen 73 Coventry 1 (0) Eccles 53 When Queens Park Rangers last met Coventry City, they suffered one of the heaviest defeats in their history. Only once in 144 years of football have they conceded more than the seven they let in on that August afternoon at the CBS Arena. Finishing in the top ten of the Championship table just once in the last ten years means they’re been too f

Signs of life : Picture by @capitalfootball Just when they seemed dead and buried, West Ham have suddenly sprung to life. A couple of weeks ago they lost at home to relegation rivals Nottingham Forest to plunge the club into despond. Now, a week on from a last-gasp win at Spurs they claimed a 3-1 win against Sunderland to breathe more life into their hopes of survival. A first half blitz brought goals from Crysencio Summerville, Jarrod Bowen (from the penalty spot) and Mateu

Kassam confrontation : Picture by Will Powell Championship Oxford United 0 QPR 0 The Hoops fired another blank against Oxford United on a rainy night at the Kassam Stadium. It follows a 0-0 away four days ago at Stoke City. The game betwewn the sides at Matrade Loftus Road in October was also 0-0. Oxford started the evening in 23rd spot having come into the game off the back of one win against Southampton (home) 2-1, two draws against Bristol City (home) 0-0 last time out and
