Queens Park Rangers endured their sixth successive loss on Tuesday.
Steve McClaren has admitted that Queens Park Rangers are not getting the rub of the green at the moment, after going down 3-2 to West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday night.
The QPR boss saw his side concede a 94th-minute winner to Jake Livermore, condemning the west Londoners to their sixth consecutive Championship loss.
“Football can be a cruel game and has been for us in the last few games – 94th minutes have not been good for us,” QPR manager McClaren told West London Sport.
“We missed a penalty to equalise 4-4, 94 minutes at Bristol where it should never have been a penalty, and tonight 94 minutes. I thought we were going to hold on and deservedly hold on.”
Whatever is going on at the moment at Loftus Road, McClaren needs to oversee an upturn in results sooner rather than later but it is apparent luck is favouring the opponent currently.
Rangers are not far off getting back on track but the Championship is a ruthless league, and the R’s lowly league position of 18th doesn’t make for good reading.
The Hoops travel to Middlesbrough on Saturday and, although it will be another tough game, McClaren must start getting points on the board before a relegation battle ensues.
QPR are a comfortable ten points off the drop zone but, if the run continues, McClaren will need to have a reshuffle of personnel and tactics, before it’s too late.
