QPR slipped to another defeat at home as Derby won 1-0 at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium. Here's how we rated the Rangers players.
Didn't have too much to do, but will feel he should have got a stronger hand to Kamil Jozwiak's shot and parry it away from the waiting Colin Kazim-Richards, who prodded into an open net.
Another strong display from the big centre-back, who was strong at the back and good in possession.
Caught flat-footed in the build-up to the Derby goal by a fine pass from Graeme Shinnie, but was otherwise solid. Almost scored an amazing goal with a scissor kick that was brilliantly kept out by keeper Kelle Roos.
Made a couple of good interceptions to thwart Derby's attacking intentions, but in possession he was often loose.
Worked hard up and down the right flank and his lovely cushioned pass for Charlie Austin almost led to a goal only for Roos to pull off a fine stop. A steady but unspectacular display.
Got turned too easily by Shinnie in the lead-up to Derby's winner but was his usual combative self in the middle of the park.
Found it hard going against a physical Derby midfield and nothing really came off for him and he cut a frustrated figure. Opted to try and blast into the top corner from the edge of the box in the second half when a simple pass to an unmarked Austin looked a better option. Again his corners were inconsistent.
Brushed off the ball too easily in the build-up to Derby's first goal but aside from that he looked Rangers' most creative player out wide before being withdrawn in the second half.
A very mixed performance from the Finland international, who was targeted by Derby for much of the first half. He did improve slightly and delivered a couple of decent crosses. But defensively he still looks vulnerable when players run at him. Withdrawn as Rangers chased in vain for an equaliser in the second half.
Struggled to impose himself on the Derby defenders and won little in the air. Was unable to bundle in a tricky rebound from the Austin chance and looked fatigued. Was replaced 20 minutes from time.
Denied his 50th goal in Rangers colours by a brilliant save from Roos in the first half and worked tirelessly with little service. Played for 82 minutes.
Came on for the final 10 minutes and looked like he was about to fire in a first goal since his move from Southend, only to be denied by a fine block.
Unable to make much of an impact after coming off the bench for Dykes. Like the other forwards, he was forced to feed off scraps.
Came on for Willock and showed some flashes of why he is so highly-rated by Mark Warburton, with some good passing and put his foot in where he needed to..
Showed some energy when he came on as a late substitute but was unable to fashion a cross that produced an equaliser. Should be considered as a potential option at left-wing back.
