Leicester 1 QPR 0 Match Report

Leicester 1
Connolly 9 (penalty)

QPR 0
Match attendance 23,754
Referee P Dowd

QPR got beat 1-0 at the Walkers Stadium and I don't know how. I hear the Leicester fans barely cheered their team off the pitch after the game, despite the 1-0 win. They know Leicester need to play better than that to stay up. Their luck can't hold out for them forever like it did today.

Conversely QPR need to keep playing just like that and we might creep into playoff challenging position in the next few weeks.

Holloway has shuffled the pack alot over the busy Christmas period and we have been fairly unlucky. I hope we have earnt our own luck for later in the season with comparitavely fresh legs in comparison to other sides.

Martin Rowlands had 2 goals disallowed, the ref twice denying QPR the deserved equaliser to level up David Connolly's 8th minute penalty. Danny Shittu was judged to have handled in the box. It proved decisive.

Beware the Fallen Ranger!
