Fernandes proud of QPR’s ‘incredibly positive start’
Tony Fernandes took to Twitter following QPR’s defeat at Middlesbrough and insisted they can be proud of their performance – and their start to the season.
Rangers were beaten 3-2 at the Riverside Stadium and have mounting injury problems, especially in defence.
Captain Nedum Onuoha faces three months on the sidelines with a torn hamstring, joining fellow defenders such as James Perch and Grant Hall on the injured list.
But co-chairman Fernandes urged fans to be patient.
This is an incredibly positive start. Long way to go. Let’s get some of our squad back fit. Well done boys

With so many of our first team defenders out injured. Proud of how we played. Patience . Away from home and we came close.

We need to import some central defender’s fast
To much time has been spent chasing striker’s
We only loose when the opposition score. Smithies may well be a great stopper but I would rather we stop the ball getting that far.
If we can stop the ball going in at our end we only need to score once
