    QPR coach Kevin Bond admitted there is too much pressure on Charlie Austin.

    Rangers leading scorer rose at the back post to head a 91 minute winner against Doncaster that brought relief and a first triumph in four attempts.

    However, Bond made no bones about a tough victory in driving rain and after Hoops had gone behind in a lack-lustre first half.

    He said: “We made hard work of it. But the lads showed a lot of spirit to come from behind. “Doncaster were excellent but we weren’t really at the races in the first half, but we ground our way back and got a great winner.”

    The coach agreed it was a worry half of all Rangers goals this term have come solely from their £4m acquisition.

    Bond added: “Yes, I think that’s fair it’s a concern.

    “It’s been pointed out to players on numerous occasions. But if players haven’t got goals in them - they haven’t got goals in them.

    “We need some help in that department. Charlie needs some help in that department.”

    Bond confirmed Junior Hoilett’s early departure in the 12th minute of the 2-1 win was down to a recurrence of a hamstring strain

    “It’s really disappointing, but the medical people will have to tell you more,” the coach said

    Does anyone know if HH actually retired once Cardiff dropped him? The perfect front man for Championship level and what a combination he and Austin would be...
