QPR comprehensively beaten by Boro – Report

Sunday, 21st Jan 2018 13:57 by Clive Whittingham

QPR’s improved winter form ground to a shuddering halt at Loftus Road on Saturday with a deserved three nil tonking from Middlesbrough.

And as soon as the form came back, it went away again. Queens Park Rangers, comprehensively outplayed, out fought, out thought and out scored on their own patch by Middlesbrough.

It’s easy to talk about the money Boro have spent this season in comparison to QPR and just shrug your shoulders at the one-sided outcome of a meeting between the sides. They started with £15m Britt Assombalonga up front, former England winger Stewart Downing behind him and £6m former Chelsea man Patrick Bamford joining in from wide. That left strikers Ashley Fletcher (£6.5m), Rudy Gestede (£6m) and Martin Braithwaite (£8m) on the bench. QPR started youth teamer Aramide Oteh up front alongside Conor Washington whose struggles to adapt to this level after moving from Peterborough two years ago are well publicised.

I quite like Clives reports. Still can't get over Lynch going up top. This hoof ball will not get bums on seats. When that changes maybe I can drag myself to the away games again.

Lynch I know him quiet well as from my home area and played in same side as my son ... very skilful and our best crosser of the ball. He used to play up front and midfield until he beefed up ... he’s a nice bloke

Sending Lynch up front was nothing more than embarrassing Sunday league coaching mate.
