Half-time: Wigan 0 QPR 0

By

QPR made a solid start to the Championship play-off semi-final first leg at the DW Stadium, where Armand Traore and Junior Hoilett were both named in the starting line-up.

Wigan’s only early chance fell to Gary Caldwell, who headed straight at keeper Rob Green from Jordi Gomez’s cross.

At the other end, Gary O’Neil had an effort blocked after being set up by Charlie Austin and Traore headed over from Hoilett’s cross.

Roared on by more than 3,000 travelling fans, Rangers have so far defended in numbers when needed and looked to hit on the counter-atack when possible.

Green produced a decent save shortly before half-time, reacting quickly to keep out Gomez’s low shot at his near post.

Veteran centre-back Richard Dunne, back in the R’s starting line-up, has struggled at times and is on a yellow card, having been booked for a foul on Callum McManaman.

QPR: Green, Simpson, Onuoha, Dunne, Hill, Hoilett, Barton, O’Neil, Traore, Morrison, Austin.
Subs: Murphy, Carroll, Yun, Doyle, Hughes, Henry, Kranjcar.
