Sebastian Polter’s equaliser rescued a point for QPR at Burton. Here’s how we rated each Rangers player in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw.
Produced a good first-half save to keep out a free-kick. Didn’t have much to do in a game of few chances.
Competed well at right-back without looking comfortable.
Solid enough despite being caused problems at times when Burton counter-attacked.
A tidy display. Could probably have afforded to be more ambitious and bring the ball out a bit more given Burton’s lack of a presence up front.
Produced one excellent block in the first half and overall had a decent game. Unspectacular but reliable, the news he could be out for four months is concern.
Performed an important role in midfield but his failure to clear his lines led to Burton’s goal.
Rangers improved after the Pole was replaced by Polter but that was no reflection on Borysiuk, who contributed in midfield.
Had a fine game as both an attacking force and a competitor. Was all over Burton’s Matt Palmer in midfield early on and his hard work helped Rangers get a foothold in the game. He was also useful going forward, not least when he set up the equaliser.
Worked hard on the flank and tried to offer Conor Washington as much support as possible. Had a sight of goal in the first half but was unable to take advantage.
Went close with a free-kick and caused the odd moment of panic in the box. Not great off the ball though, enabling Burton to break dangerously.
Tried hard to make things happen up front and had some relative success in the first half, when he created a couple of openings with his persistence. Overall though it was a frustrating night for the striker.
Made all the difference after coming on, hauling Rangers level and then going close with a header. He also might have won a penalty after going down under a challenge in the box.
