Queens Park Rangers suffered their worst defeat for 31 years after being trounced 7-1 by West Brom on Saturday.
Queens Park Rangers bad start to the season hit a worrying new low on Saturday afternoon after they were thrashed 7-1 away from home by West Bromwich Albion.
The west Londoners completely capitulated at the Hawthorns after goals from Kieran Gibbs, Jay Rodriguez (2), Matty Phillips (2), Dwight Gayle and Hal Robson-Kanu saw them suffer their worst defeat in 31 years.
The West Midlands mauling highlights just how bad things have gone for QPR so far this season, with the result likely putting pressure on boss Steve McClaren. The R’s faithful endured a torrid afternoon and they’ll want to see a vastly improved performance against Bristol City on Tuesday.
Queens Park Rangers have hit their lowest ebb for some time, and it’ll take a monumental effort to get the side back on track. But for McClaren, his questionable appointment could quickly come to an end. The board will surely have to act unless there is a dramatic shift in performances soon.
It’s hard to believe that Rangers actually went in level with Darren Moore’s side at the interval, but Hoops fans will not have bargained for what they witnessed over the next 45 minutes. A lacklustre and unprofessional display was blasted by supporters and rightly so.
Granted, The Baggies are serious promotion contenders this season, but it can’t excuse Queens Park Rangers’ second-half showing. It would be unfair to criticise the younger players, as they’re still developing, but seasoned pros just didn’t turn up.
