The Queens Park Rangers suffered another disappointing defeat last night (Wednesday) as the Rs lost at home against Rotherham United.
Steve McClaren's men lost 2-1 to the Millers. They went to seven points of victory with the win. QPR has now the top of their shoulders in the championship. Millwall also won last night in Birmingham.
Tom Victor returns to the discussion points of the game below.
Wszolek will feel that he deserved more time
Although he only played 10 minutes, Pawel Wszolek was one of QPR's most brilliant players against Rotherham.
After playing an offensive role behind his replacement Nahki Wells, the Pole discovered empty spaces between the Rotherham defenders and had already found himself in dangerous positions even before piercing the left inner channel and sent the ball to Bright Osayi-Samuel. equalize.
Wszolek may have even inspired the victory when he got a well-deserved free-kick 20 yards from the ball after being captured by Michael Ihiekwe. winner of their own.
Playing on the strengths of his opponents
Both against Stoke and Rotherham, QPR had the opportunity to keep the ball on the ground and play football, but there was not enough.
After Saturday's scoreless draw, where Tomer Hemed was frustrated with an aerial approach against the forces of Ryan Shawcross and Danny Batth, there was more tennis in the lead against the Millers.
If there was one thing more important than keeping the ball on the ground in the offensive third, it limited the number of free kicks sold in dangerous positions, but QPR failed that too. This resulted in Darnell Furlong's tired challenge in stoppage time, but to tell the truth, there were other scenery opportunities that could have seen visitors score earlier than they had done.
Cameron must start in Hull
Mbadimo Luongo and Jordan Cousins did nothing wrong in the middle of the park. Luongo in particular often took the ball in dangerous positions, but the presence of Geoff Cameron could have given something more.
It's not just what the American does with the ball, but his full presence as a leader. It is likely that QPR would have taken the lead, but there is no room for Saturday's goals and goals – it must be thrown early on at KCOM Stadium in Hull City, a field where Rs were beaten 4-0 last season.
Draw blanks from the first half
QPR's last four games were all empty of goals at the break, and the previous match helped them score 2-0 at Middlesbrough in 45 minutes.
Indeed, Steve McClaren's team have scored just four goals in the first half in their last 13 games, including two in the 45-minute defeats against Birmingham City and Bristol City.
Defensive solidity has been a key element of this season's success, and this remains a primary goal, but the fact that we did not appear on the notice board early on caused tension in the second half, many of which seemingly too much go in the direction of opposition.
In a relegation battle now
The victory over Rotherham would have left the QPR 13 points over the fall and able to start looking at the table to try to end the season in force.
Instead, the gap between QPR in 18th and Rotherham, who stays in 22nd, is more than seven points. Back on New Year's Day, the distance to the 22nd was 17 points, which shows the magnitude of the fall and the image of relegation in the state.
Steve McClaren has targeted 50 points early in the season, but given the form of QPR in 2019, they may not even have it. Three wins over the last nine games should be enough, and they could very well pick up the first of these Saturday against a Hull team that attacked at will on Loftus Road in December.
