3 QPR players who were disappointing in big loss v Fulham

QPR are a side much improved under Mark Warburton this season and one that can hold their own with any side in the Championship.

QPR fans are seeing a much more coherent side this time around and evidence of that could be seen in their position in the Championship table before kick-off vs Fulham this afternoon.

The Rs stood in the last of the play-off places; Fulham a place above them. It looked poised to be a close-fought affair on paper.

However, it was Fulham who made a mockery of that paper closeness. They were first on the board through Aleksandar Mitrovic (10′) in a half that the Cottagers largely controlled.

The goal explosion came in the second half and it was QPR and Lyndon Dykes (55′) who started the ball rolling to make it 1-1. In truth, it was a half of football that belonged to Marco Silva’s Fulham side.

Mitrovic (67′) scored his second of the game to put Fulham in front with Bobby De Cordova-Reid (71′) putting Silva’s men further in front. QPR were chasing the game and a late goal from Antonee Robinson (91′) put a cherry on the top of Fulham’s performance.

Here are three QPR players whose performances vs Fulham let Mark Warburton down today.

Seny Dieng – WhoScored rating 5.50

Goalkeepers are always going to get eyes cast their way if their side concedes four times. Dieng’s rating takes this into account.

On a more positive note, he made three saves to keep the score down and was accurate (63%) with his distribution, 20 of his 32 pass attempts finding their targets.

Moses Odubajo – WhoScored rating 5.56

Moses Odubajo had one of those performances that he might want to forget rather than to remember. Whilst being accurate (75%) with his distribution, his 24 completed passes saw only one key pass that presented a teammate with a chance.

This lack of a cutting edge was endemic in a QPR side that struggled in the middle of the park. He didn’t feature too much in his defensive duties, being dribbled past the only time he made a tackle attempt and making just one clearance.

Rob Dickie – WhoScored rating 5.94

Dickie played on the right edge of a defensive unit that was under a constant barrage from Fulham who had 16 shots in the game. He didn’t perform at his best, making just one tackle, one interception and four clearances.

On a more positive note, he made both tackles he went in for and was accurate (84%) in his distribution. 56 of his 67 passes found their intended targets but he didn’t make any key passes that presented teammates with chances.
