QPR v Sheffield United player ratings
A Sheffield United equaliser in the final seconds at Loftus Road denied QPR victory. Here’s how we rated each Rangers player in the 1-1 draw.
Seny Dieng: 7
Produced a number of important saves before United eventually found an equaliser.
Osman Kakay: 8
In for Ethan Laird, who missed out with a knock, Kakay produced arguably his best performance for QPR. He defended well when called upon but for much of the game was one of his team’s most advanced players – which was key to keeping the visitors pinned back.
Rob Dickie: 7
Caught out a couple of times, including when Billy Sharp sneaked behind him and missed a chance, but he also produced a couple of vital blocks and brought the ball out of defence well.
Jimmy Dunne: 7
The ideal game for Dunne, who was able to show his leadership and battling qualities.
Kenneth Paal: 7
An unusual but effective performance from Paal, who was steady on the left while Kakay was the more attacking full-back.
Sam Field: 8
Another excellent performance in midfield from Field, who did a stellar job and enabled Rangers’ more attacking players to push forward.
Tim Iroegbunam: 7
Gave the ball away on occasions but also played his part in a solid midfield display by the R’s.
Tyler Roberts: 7
Took up some great positions to create space for his team-mates and linked up very well with Kakay on the right-hand side to help Rangers defend from the front.
Chris Willock: 7
Still not back to his best, but this was a marked improvement on his recent displays since returning from injury. His sharpness seems to be returning and he was a threat to the Blades before going off in the second half.
Ilias Chair: 7
Scored a fortuitous goal and his overall performance was lively. Fired over in the first half and was always a problem for the visitors.
Lyndon Dykes: 8
Always has a tendency to work hard without creating much for himself in front of goal, but in this game his work-rate was so exceptional it has to go down as an excellent performance. He continually occupied defenders and also chased back to win the ball a number of times. The Rangers goal came after Dykes chased a lost cause.
Luke Amos: 6
Came on for the final 20 minutes or so and was tidy in midfield. Albert Adomah, who later came on too, didn’t have time to make an impact.

Probably one of the best all round first half’s of the season, but Rangers faded, is that a fitness issue ? Or down to Sheffield’s subs and formation switch ? Or both ?
Still not enough shots. With their keeper getting booked early we should have run at him a lot more. The final 15 would have given young Sinclair an ideal opportunity to do just that.
Pity about the final score but on previous form a decent point.
The media conveniently ignored that we’ve taken 4 points of them !

He should be a massive hit in Scotland then,
