Queens Park Rangers have lost four in a row and are desperately struggling in front of goal.

Queens Park Rangers fans have taken to Twitter to desperately urge Ian Holloway to sign a new striker during the January transfer window after their woes in front of goal continued on Wednesday night.

The Hoops hosted Derby County at Loftus Road knowing that they faced an uphill task trying to end their poor run of form of three consecutive defeats as they faced a team that had won their last six.

However, Holloway’s men put up a very good fight against the Rams, and ultimately edged the possession statistics while also having more shots and more shots on target.

Nevertheless, they lost out on the most crucial statistic of all as Tom Ince’s neat finish four minutes from time left Holloway to ponder his fourth defeat in five games since his return.

After such a promising performance, most supporters were left in absolutely no doubt about what their main problem is.

QPR have scored just 20 times in their 21 Championship games this term, but perhaps more worryingly heading into the Christmas period, they have scored just once in their last four.

Therefore, it is hardly a surprise that many of the fans who took to social media following the game have urged the club to get a new goalscorer in next month.
