Nahki Wells and Tomer Hemed have adapted well at Queens Park Rangers but the pair need to start scoring more.
Queens Park Rangers pulled off something of a coup when they agreed the loan signings of Nahki Wells and Tomer Hemed from the Premier League this summer.
The strikers had fallen down the pecking order at Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion respectively, and the R’s swooped to sign the experienced duo for the season.
Since then, QPR boss Steve McClaren has seen an upturn in fortunes with the R’s recording three wins from five games, with Hemed scoring on his debut.
Wells, however, has failed to get off the mark, but the former Huddersfield Town man has certainly played his part in QPR’s mini-revival.
The Bermuda international has been brilliant with his link-up play, and his ability to run at and pull defenders apart is an asset to the west Londoners.
Wells’ high work rate and passion will see his first goal come soon enough and Hemed has already shown what he can do.
The 31-year-old got the winner against Wigan Athletic and, although he has not scored since, Hemed’s experience at Championship level is proving vital.
The Israeli forward has been praised for his commitment to the cause and his hard work up top is not going unnoticed by fans.
The pair need a goal or two each to generate some momentum and confidence in front of goal and then QPR will really start to see the best of them.
A trip to Swansea City awaits and Wells and Hemed can do themselves no harm at all if they can breach the second-tightest defence in the league.
