QPR battled to a fine point against promotion-chasing Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Here’s how we rated each Rangers player in the 0-0 draw, which extended Mark Warburton’s side’s unbeaten run to three games.
He was sharp coming off his line and dependable on the few occasions he was called into action.
A decent display from the experienced defender, who made one vital second-half stop on the line and showed his nous throughout.
Solid and reliable in an impressive defensive team performance against a pacy Forest attack full of movement.
He was not always convincing with ball at his feet but was strong and dependable in the face of a stern test from Lewis Grabban, Sammy Ameobi and Joe Lolley.
Defended calmly and managed to get forward well on the left when he had the chance.
Did an important job protecting the back four but could not get a grip on the midfield in an attacking sense.
Like Ball, he was impressive in his defensive work but was unable to make a difference at the other end.
The standout Rangers player, Eze did some vital work in his own half and always looked likely to create something. His languid style and calmness shone in a frantic match that produced very little goalmouth excitement.
A tenacious presence and, at times, combined well with Manning on the left and so nearly set up a goal for Jordan Hugill, only to see his low cross blocked following QPR’s best move of the match.
A frustrating day for Osayi-Samuel who had little opportunity to impress as QPR struggled to retain possession, but he still showed glimpses of his quality when given half a chance. He also helped out defensively, earning praise from his manager for his contribution.
He covered plenty of ground with his selfless running in the lone frontman role. He was limited in his involvement – particularly in the first half but remained a willing runner and held the ball up well enough when he was found.
