How they rated
LUKE SOUTHWOOD
Didn’t cover himself in glory for the third goal, but in fairness was not helped by his teammates. Made a few good stops.
ANDY YIADOM
Should be performing at a much higher level given his vast experience at this level, but hasn’t hit form since returning from AFCON.
MICHAEL MORRISON
Hasn’t had the desired impact since returning from injury. Hasn’t helped to improve the defensive record.
TOM HOLMES
Not at the races at all during the last month. Didn’t get tight enough to Lyndon Dykes on two occasions and was punished.
BABA RAHMAN
Sloppy in possession and in defensive areas. Better going forward and threw in a few nice crosses for Lucas Joao.
JOSH LAURENT
Went on a superb driving run and went down under a challenge in the box. Penalty not given and less than a minute later, QPR were in front.
DANNY DRINKWATER
Slow, lumbering and careless. Obvious quality on the ball, but off it he’s been nowhere near the level needed in a demanding division.
ANDY RINOMHOTA
Always puts a shift in regardless of how badly the team is performing. Required to do a job on the wing and was missed in the middle.
JOHN SWIFT
Lost his magic touch from earlier in the season when he couldn’t stop scoring. Coincided with the team’s run and it’s no coincidence.
GEORGE PUSCAS
Lost the ball cheaply on the halfway line that led to QPR’s second goal. Hooked off at half-time for Ovie Ejaria.
LUCAS JOAO
Had a couple of chances, both with his head. The first forced a routine save, but his second was superbly stopped by Marshall.
