Queens Park Rangers go into the international break in 10th-place, after a disappointing 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough at the weekend.

It was a chance for Rangers to return to winning ways. Jonathan Woodgate’s side would’ve expected a long afternoon at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium but they put in one of their best performances of the season against a lax QPR side.

Still in the relegation zone, Boro were good value for a point on Saturday. For QPR though it was a missed chance to put themselves back in play-off contention for the international break, and more frustration for Mark Warburton.

The QPR boss will be wondering if his side will keep a clean sheet at all this season. They’re the only side in the Championship yet to keep one and after Britt Assombalonga put two past them on Saturday, it means they’ve now conceded 30 in 16 league games.

His team selection raised some eyebrows before kick-off. Ilias Chair started the game up-front with Jordan Hugill starting from the bench - Chair, yet to get off the mark in the Championship this season, had little to no effect in a higher position, and Hugill would’ve been hugely disappointed not to start against the side he spent last season on-loan at.

Joe Lumley also made a first appearance since September. Liam Kelly dismantled Lumley as QPR’s number one earlier in the season and looked to be making good progress. But Kelly wasn’t even named on the bench on Saturday, suggesting a slight injury to the Scot.

Another face that returned to the fold on Saturday was Luke Amos. The midfielder on-loan from Spurs hadn’t started a game since August, but he like his team’s performance looked rather uninspired in the middle of the park.

The team was imbalanced against Boro, and arguably the biggest miss for QPR was captain Toni Leistner. Leistner limped off in his side’s 2-0 loss at Leeds United earlier this month, and joins central defender Yoann Barbet on the sidelines in what’s quickly snowballed into a mini injury crisis for QPR.

It was a make-shift team put out by Warburton at the weekend, and they looked far off the standards that they’ve set themselves so far this season.

Warburton though is still in his first season and has still done a fine job to date - the Boro game was a missed chance, and Warburton will have to take the lessons from that game on board over the international break.
