More late pain for QPR at Ewood Park - Report Wednesday, 13th Jan 2016 19:29 by Clive Whittingham QPR’s run of games without a win, and tendency to concede key goals late in games, continued at Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday evening. Points 18 and 19 lost from winning positions, like the six that went before them, drifted away from Queens Park Rangers in the final ten minutes of Tuesday night’s slog at Blackburn Rovers. QPR have scored as many late goals as they’ve conceded so far this season, but the problem of shipping costly strikes at the business end of games is becoming particularly acute as new manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s fitness regime coincides with a taxing Christmas fixture list. Rangers haven’t conceded a goal in the single first half of a league match in 15 outings, but have let one in at the other end on 77, 80, 85, 86, 90 and 90 in the last five games alone. When the opposition is at its most desperate and fraught, QPR’s lack of concentration, quality and fitness is costing them. This latest setback, leaving Hasselbaink still searching for a first victory after eight matches at the helm, was particularly galling as Rangers had at least shown some semblance of improvement and plan over the course of the evening. Not exactly the great Dutch team of 1974, but certainly a deal better than they have been during recent matches with Huddersfield, Hull and Forest.

I see in addition to Lumley's misjudgement from the throw, Henry was at fault not properly marking his man. We should never concede a goal like that from an innocuous throw-in, especially to a guy named (faint) Hope! please log in to view this image This in itself wouldn't be so bad,if we had a 2 or 3 goal cushion, other than disappointment at losing the shut-out. We need this approach to scoring goals:- Man of the match - Jermain Defoe please log in to view this image Jermain Defoe had three shots and scored three goals
