Half-time: Sheffield Wednesday 0 QPR 0
QPR got to half-time on level terms at Hillsborough after absorbing plenty of pressure from the home side.
Kieran Lee went shot wide early on after being found by Jack Hunt’s cross, and Ross Wallace also went close for Sheffield Wednesday when he fired just over.
Rangers had another let-off when Atdhe Nuhiu was just unable to connect with Daniel Pudil’s cross.
And Nuhiu was denied by a good save from keeper Alex Smithies after the Owls target man got through on goal just after the half-hour mark.
At the other end, Gabriele Angella headed wide from a corner.
Angella came in for Paul Konchesky as a part of a defensive reshuffle, while January signing Nasser El Khayati was handed his full QPR debut.
Junior Hoilett and Jamie Mackie were dropped to the bench.
Subs: Ingram, Diakite, Chery, Mackie, Petrasso, Hoilett, Polter.
