QPR’s dismal slump continues with defeat at Sheffield United
QPR’s season – and possibly Mark Warburton’s reign as manager – continued to peter out as they slumped to a fourth consecutive defeat.
Rangers again struggled to create chances and they never looked like scoring after Ollie Norwood’s first-half goal.
They were caught out by a clever corner delivered by John Fleck, with a dummy opening their defence and Norwood firing in with the help of a deflection off Lyndon Dykes.
Warburton’s side have now lost six of their past seven matches and this defeat is a further blow to their fading play-off hopes.
Ilias Chair dragging an effort well wide of the target was the best they could muster in another performance devoid of creativity in the absence of the injured Chris Willock.
QPR: Westwood; Dunne, Dickie, Barbet; Adomah, Field, Hendrick (Dozzell 68), Wallace McCallum 72); Chair; Dykes, Gray (Thomas 68).
Subs not used: Mahoney, Sanderson, Amos, Austin.

A lot of truth in what Paul said. I cant believe the rapid loss in form/poor results recently. Its just like we refuse to even consider promotion, preferring to stay in a comfortable championship zone. Its looking increasingly likely our usual mid table place is getting close now.

Yep agree…. At least the players looked to be trying to change the bad run of results.. But the lack of clear chances on goal tells a story. You can’t expect to win if there aren’t attempts and opportunities. Too often possession in our own half led to nothing.. (other than a pass backwards). TBH I don’t want to be too harsh because start of season if you offered on fringe of playoffs perhaps would have taken it – but its the incredible run of form that got us all hoping… and in a very QPR way destroyed us when it flipped to a run of losses. It’s not over this season… but its going to take a miracle turn around 😉
