Seems like an age ago now but for anyone interested here's Clive's report.
The boredom before the storm - Report

For what it's worth now, here’s LFW's summary of QPR's Tuesday night draw at Burton. A game we were never going to remember for long anyway, even before today's developments.
This hardly seems to matter much now but you'd have to go a long old way and watch a lot of Championship football to find a game at this level with less quality in it than this.
Ostensibly two Championship teams, Burton Albion and Queens Park Rangers had resorted to simply whacking the ball at each other as high, long and hard as they could long before the end. Rangers' approach to the final third of the game, in particular, would have made John Beck blush. I can't ever recall a match where the ball flew all the way from one goalkeeper right through to the one at the other end untouched quite so often.
Overseen by the most bog standard of bog standard referees, assisted by two linesmen who were as much use as a loose butt plug, an advert for the newly rebranded English Football League's main competition it most certainly was not. One beautiful sunset, and a home mascot that looked a bit like Gary Penrice, apart this was a game we would scarcely have remembered by the middle of next week regardless of today's Telegraph revelations.
