Difference being Austin prob expected to have done one ages ago ..... Afobe interest is new and he's playing for that move maybe ?
LoftforWords @LoftforWords 5m5 minutes ago Not bad with the ball. A danger to ourselves and others without it. Vital QPR @VitalQPR 5m5 minutes ago Sloppy goals conceded, going forward we look tidy but defensively very naive. QPR Stats @QPR_Stats 3m3 minutes agoWolverhampton, England @VitalQPR agree totally
Let's hope we see the green shoots of a football team growing maybe in this game? I honestly believed we could lose our first 5 matches I always want to win but it has to take a while for a team to bed in It's not names on paper
Charlie Austin’s powerful header hauled QPR back into what was becoming an embarrassingly one-sided game at Molineux. Austin netted eight minutes before the break after being found by Matt Phillips’ superb cross from the left. The striker’s first goal of the season came after Benik Afobe and Kevin McDonald had scored to put Wolves in command. An unmarked Afobe netted from close range on 17 minutes after James Henry’s ball into the box was deflected towards him. Rangers had almost taken an early lead when on-loan Arsenal keeper Emiliano Martinez fumbled Massimo Luongo’s shot before gathering the ball at the second attempt. After Afobe’s opener, the wet conditions meant Martinez was also troubled by a shot from Tjaronn Chery. But Wolves were otherwise dominant and doubled their lead on 24 minutes when McDonald made the most of the time and space he was afforded by firing into the bottom corner from near the edge of the penalty area. Alejandro Faurlin, back after a third cruciate injury in as many years, returned to the QPR starting line-up. The popular Argentine and former Wolves man Karl Henry were overrun in midfield as the home side had things their own way before Phillips and Austin combined to give the visitors hope.
A fightback from a QPR team! Surely not. I've had a day that could best be described as ****ing **** so was not expecting anything better than a sound defeat.
