IN RESERVE: R'S BEAT POSH

Posted on: Mon 07 Nov 2011
QPR Reserves beat a second-string Peterborough United side in difficult playing conditions at the Club's training ground this afternoon.

The R's named a robust side heading into the match, which included attacking duo Bruno Andrade and Troy Hewitt, who both recently returned back to the Club following brief loan spells with Aldershot Town and Dagenham & Redbridge respectively.

Despite the testing conditions in the opening period, it was Rangers who broke the deadlock on 23 minutes.

Lee Cook's in-swinging set-piece was met by defender Taylor Parmenter, who managed to get the all-important final touch before the ball finally hit the back of the net through a crowd of Peterborough shirts.

With a goal to their name, QPR were clearly playing like the team on top and should have doubled their lead ten minutes later.

Cook's cross found the head of Rob Hulse, who teed up team-mate Mo Shariff for a goalscoring opportunity, but the Posh number one was more than equal to the effort and palmed the ball over the bar.

The match was soon level after the interval, as the R's were caught napping and gifted the visitors a lifeline.

A superb run down the left flank was finished with an equally impressive drive past the fully-stretched Radek Cerny.

However, this lead was short-lived as Mo Shariff was on target late in the second half with a superb strike that left the Posh keeper with no chance, despite his best efforts.

QPR Starting XI: Cerny; Harriman, Parmenter, Perone, Shariff; Andrade, Puncheon, Ephraim, Cook; Hulse, Hewitt.

 

Anyone know how Hewitt did on his loan?

 

Not well , hence him being back.
