Something needs to change in our defence. They've been farking dreadful the last month or so. Farking sort it out Rangers ffs.

Wigan takes the lead with their first chance as Josh Windass races onto a long ball forward to beat Lumley into the far corner despite a Bidwell's best efforts to block.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Rangers look to get level as Freeman's effort is blocked for a QPR corner.

[Timmy the Doc]

Leistner lost a head ball in midfield and Lynch didn't cover.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Freeman's delivery finds Lynch unmarked from 12-yards but his header is turned over for another corner.

Josh Scowen with an ambitious strike from distance but it goes well wide of the target.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Luke Freeman's free-kick from 22-yards hit the wall and goes behind for a corner.

[QPROslo]

We might be sloppy at the back but my biggest concern is in front of goal. We score far too little. While we are a little tighter at the back compared to last season we are less sharp in front of goal.

You would think that shifting Washington and Sylla for Wells and Hemed, plus getting a full season out of Eze and getting Wszolek back to his old himself would bring us more goals. But if the number of goals scored so far this season is used to estimate the total goals for the entire season, we look like ending at 54 goals vs 58 last season.

It is quite amazing that we scored more goals with Smith/Washington than with the present strike force.
