I don't think many fans were expecting anything out of the game today and that was exactly what we got. In fact we were lucky to only concede two.

Wallace made his debut and didn't appear to be match fit but he should be sharper against Boro next week.

Chair has been playing on fumes since the Hull game and needs a rest. He has been poor against Reading, Brentford and today.

Manning's defending isnt great and he struggled today and looked as though he also needs to be rested. If Barbet is fit next week then I expect to see Wallace playing in the left back position.

Leistner went off with an injury that hopefully isn't too serious.

Roll on Boro who are as out of form as we are and an opportunity for us to get back to winning ways.

I think a lot of teams are now exploiting our weak areas
Warburton needs to stop our predictable game style and get our defence to stop conceding and rather than trying to openly play and score more goals than the opponent does,maybe concentrate on tightening up and nicking a goal here and there
Swansea absorbed all of Wigan pressure yesterday and then won at the end,they were awful and lucky to win but they managed to get 3 points,Leeds are very good at the back and they will go up probably

Post Leeds Stats:

The defeat against Leeds sees us drop 1 place to 9th

Despite only picking up only 1 point from the last 3 games we are still just 2 points outside the play off places

However we are now only 2 points above 15th place as the table remains incredibly bunched up

We have only won 2 of the last 7 games overall

As has been well publicised we now have an identical record to last season with our record of 23 points from 15 games

We still haven't kept a clean sheet in 17 league and cup games

We have lost 6 games, each in 3 batches of 2 defeats. Each time we have lost 2 games we have won the next game so that hopefully bodes well for next week!

Lee Wallace finally made his QPR debut in the 15th game of the season

After winning each of his first 4 league games for QPR, Dominic Ball has last his last 3 games.

Ebere Eze and Ryan Manning have kept up their 100% appearance records in the first third of the season.

The much hyped Matt Smith has now only appeared in 1 of the last 10 games

You are right about the score - most of us predicted a loss, so we should not be too down on the team. I also agree that Chair, in particular, looks jaded and needs a rest. Think how Eze was last year in terms of his physical development and there you have players like BOS & Chair. Losing Leistner was a blow for the team and also for Warburton (who probably could not bring on Amos because of that); but on that performance we were never going to win against them. A draw would have been a result!
I also agree about Wallace not being match fit, and I have to add that I thought Grant Hall at times was just going through the motions. As captain I expect Hall to be running back to cover (not ambling) and shouting! Two other ones to watch out for - Eze (had tape on his hamstring) and Hugill (spent last 15 minutes with a hamstring niggle).

Proudly supporting QPR

The big worry is that the Leistner injury is serious and that he could be out for a period of time. It appears that Warburton doesn't rate Masterson or else he would have been in the team previously.

If Barbet and Cameron are also unfit then we will be relying on Hall and Wallace to play in the centre of defence.

We concede at least 2 every game anyway so it's worth a shot. Masterson will be keen to impress.

Is there no youngsters in our squad that can defend
It seems to me we are constantly short at the back
I think Wallace will be fantastic when fit that last minute tackle against bamford on Saturday was superb it really was
