QPR v Wolves player ratings

There were some encouraging signs for QPR against Wolves but they are still waiting for their first home win under Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Here’s how we rated each Rangers player in the 1-1 draw at Loftus Road.

Alex Smithies: 8
Having been wrongfooted by a double deflection for Wolves’ goal, the keeper made three cracking saves in quick succession in the second half to stop Rangers falling behind.

James Perch: 7
A good performance from the right-back, who made an excellent recovering tackle as Wolves threatened on the break in the first half. He also provided a threat going forward.

Grant Hall: 7
A decent performance again from Hall, who made some good tackles, but was rarely tested. Unlucky for Wolves’ equaliser.

Nedum Onuoha: 7
The captain made a number of vital clearances in a strong display. He too was very unlucky to see his deflection wrongfoot Smithies for Wolves’ goal.

Paul Konchesky: 5
Given a torrid time by the lively Rajiv van La Parra, who had the beating of him all afternoon.

Karl Henry: 6
Worked hard on and off the ball, but Henry was withdrawn as Rangers chased a winner.

Massimo Luongo: 7
The Australian has been asked to do more of the dirty work on the pitch and this game showed he is up to the task. His footwork is his main asset, but his tenacity was also on show.

Matty Phillips: 6
Set up QPR’s goal with a great free-kick from deep, but overall it wasn’t a great performance from the winger.

Leroy Fer: 6
Playing predominantly on the left, Fer put himself about in the first half but fizzled out as the game went on.

Junior Hoilett: 6
Lively throughout, Hoilett was a menace to the Wolves backline with his movement and pace – but lacked an end product.

Sebastian Polter: 7
His towering, well-placed header put Rangers ahead and he perhaps could have had a hat-trick; another header and a shot on the turn were well saved. His willingness to work hard is a real asset.

Tjaronn Chery: 6
Brought on as the R’s chased a winner and he should’ve provided just that with a chance right at the death when he fired against the post after being set up by new signing Conor Washington. It was a bad miss.

Conor Washington: 6
He only had a few minutes on his debut, but in that time he managed to show his pace and awareness to set up Chery for his late chance.
