QPR 2 Burnley 0


By Burnley FC
December 6 2014

Rangers registered their first win over Burnley in 10 meetings to win the battle at the bottom. The Clarets consistently carved out the better chances at Loftus Road, but found Rob Green in scintillating form in the opening half as he denied Scott Arfield and George Boyd.

    And as Rangers rallied in the second half, Leroy Fer and Charlie Austin - later red-carded - struck to end Burnley's four-game unbeaten run and seal victory for the Londoners.
Sean Dyche made one change, with Ben Mee stepping in to replace the injured Stephen Ward.
    And the visitors carved out the first chance with seven minutes gone, as Ashley Barnes latched onto Danny Ings diagonal ball, played a quick one-two with Scott Arfield, but skied his effort from 18 yards. And Rangers were soon grateful to Green for keeping the scores level.
    The former England keeper made a mistake by dropping Dean Marney's lofted ball towards Ings, but made amends with an instinctive save with his face as the ball broke to Arfield 12 yards from goal.
     Burnley were taking the game to Rangers, and just before the half hour, the hosts were again indebted to Green, who flung himself to his left to fingertip Boyd's piledriver onto the post.
    However, the dominant Clarets needed a magnificent clearance themselves to stop Rangers going ahead on 30 minutes.
    From their first real opening, Eduardo Vargas wriggled his way past Mee on the right side of the area and fired the ball past Tom Heaton, only for Michael Keane to hack the ball off the line.

Don't know why, but I have a feeling we might get thumped today.

Boyd oh so close, Green tipped a superb strike onto the post.

Continue to do what we've done in the first half and QPR are there for the taking.

Continue to keep Austin, Fer and Zamora off the ball and we can win this.

We've got to take our chances, 'cos you can bet they'll take theirs.

This is in theory QPR's easiest game of the season, at home against the lowest ranked team (apart from them) last season.

They're a poor side.

Yes they are a poor side but that is no reason for us to keep giving them the ball back. I daresay Harry's half time talk will have an immediate effect....

2 incredibly soft goals and the centre backs at fault for both. How on earth Austin could be unmarked for their second goodness knows.

We have not created a single chance since QPR went down to 10 men.

Gotta take our chances when on top. 10 attempts in first half n only 2 on target isn't good enough.
