Sunday 2nd May 2010
The Coca Cola Championship
Loftus Road Stadium
Referee: D Deadman
Attendance: 16,819
Queens Park Rangers 0-1 Newcastle United
By The Godfather
Queens Park Rangers starting line-up: Cerny, Ramage, Leigertwood, Buzsaky, Gorkss, Cook, Faurlin, Simpson, Ephraim, Priskin, Tosic.
Newcastle United: Krul, Coloccini, Williamson, Barton, Guthrie, Routledge, Simpson, R.Taylor, Smith, Best, Ameobi.
There is no question that Queens Park Rangers deserved more from this match. Newcastle, perhaps unsurprisingly, were not at their best, having already gained promotion and won the Championship title. At times, their players looked as if they were taking part in a pre-season friendly. The Rs, despite Ramage being sent off, managed to give the Geordies a stern test, creating a number of opportunities, most notably when Jay Simpson squandered a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper. Once again, it was the lack of a proven goalscorer that cost the Super Hoops, something that was highlighted by Peter Lovenkrands' superb second-half winner.
