At the Very, Very, Very End...QPR Lose to Plymouth - Reports and Managerial Comments

-
QPR travelled to Plymouth...QPR took the lead through Ainsworth and that was the half-time score. Plymouth equalized near the start of the second half with a penalty...and then, at the end; the very end...Plymouth got that second goal. Plymouth 2 QPR 1. This is not exactly the first time this season that QPR have conceded that vital goal in the last few minutes of a game. QPR had seven bookings (Walton, Rowlands, Bolder, leighterwood, Buzsaky, Ainsworth, Nygaard, ...Then post-whistle, Leighterwood was sent off for a second yellow.

QPR OFFICIAL - POST-MATCH MANAGERIAL COMMENTS REF RAGE
Luigi De Canio was unable to hide his frustration after the final whistle at Plymouth.
A late goal gave the hosts all three points as the R's went down 2-1, and De Canio told www.qpr.co.uk: "We didn't take into consideration the standard of the referee when we prepared for this match.
"His performance offended me and every sportsman. He was bad throughout the whole match."
Trying to focus on the positives, De Canio was pleased with the effort and commitment of his players. He said: "From day one the lads have given me 100 per cent.
"They have been fantastic in that respect, but that only makes us even more disappointed about the whole thing.
"This is the most disappointed I have been as QPR's First Team Coach. When we lost at Stoke we lost because of our own mistakes, but today the referee was mainly responsible for our defeat.
"But we will lift ourselves for this weekend's match against Watford. We will go there to do the best we can and hopefully come away with a positive result." QPR

TWO MANAGERS COMMENTS - SPORTING LIFE
ARGYLE BOSS KEEN TO START BETTER
Plymouth manager Paul Sturrock is urging his high-flying Championship side to start matches at a better pace.
After seeing recalled top scorer Sylvan Ebanks-Blake score two second-half goals to turn around a 1-0 half-time deficit and beat QPR, Sturrock admitted there are improvements to be made.
"One disappointing feature is obviously first-half starts," said the Scot.
"We did not start well again today and we did not start well against West Brom, Norwich, even Scunthorpe and, obviously, at Crystal Palace last Saturday.
"We just don't seem to start the game properly, at the right tempo, and we were the home side today and we would expect to put them on the back foot but we allowed them to slow the game down and we played at whatever pace they wanted to play at.
"In the second half we came out and played at a pace we wanted to play at, and not which they wanted and we got our rewards because of it."
Argyle fell behind to a 20th-minute goal steered home by Gareth Ainsworth, with Rowan Vine claiming the last touch after the home side failed to clear Martin Rowlands' cross from the left.
Rowlands' cross beat Argyle keeper Romain Larrieu at the near post and rolled across the face of goal before Ainsworth returned the ball with power from the right.
Argyle responded by taking the game to their visitors in the second half and Hungary winger Peter Halmosi won a 49th-minute penalty after his shot was handled by Rowlands in full view of referee Steve Bratt.
Ebanks-Blake powered home his 10th goal of the season from the spot and then took his tally to 11 with the Greens' last-gasp winner after they swept forward in stoppage time.
Halmosi's corner was headed on to the crossbar by compatriot Krisztian Timar and in the goalmouth scramble Ebanks-Blake was quickest to react as the ball dropped, smsshing the ball into the top of the net.
QPR boss Luigi De Canio was obviously disappointed at the close and pointed to a decision going against substitute Dexter Blackstock, and in favour of Timar as the game's significant turning point.
De Canio said: "When you lose a game right at the death it is always going to be disappointing.
"I thought we deserved at least a point. We controlled the game well in the first half and got a goal, it did not seem too difficult. We needed another goal and if we carried on doing what we were doing we might have got it.
"We will think about the January sales when January comes.
"We will look at it from the point of view of what the team needs. Right now we have got difficult games coming up for this squad of players to face and that's what we are focusing on." Sporting Life

SPORTING LIFE - Match Report

Sylvain Ebanks-Blake swept in the winner in the fourth minute of stoppage time as Plymouth held off the challenge of QPR.

The 21-year-old striker's left-footed strike from close range converted Peter Halmosi's corner and sent Rangers back into the Coca-Cola Championship relegation zone.

Plymouth dominated throughout but Gareth Ainsworth converted Martin Rowlands' clinical pass in from the left to give the visitors a half-time advantage at Home Park.

But the home side finally got the reward their first-half dominance deserved with a leveller three minutes into the second half when Ebanks-Blake converted from the penalty spot after referee Steve Bratt had penalised Rowlands for handball.

And the 21-year-old finally made Argyle's dominance tell with his 10th of the season to send Plymouth to seventh place in the table, while Rangers fell to 22nd.

Akos Buzsaky began the match against his parent club after his double lifted the west Londoners off the foot of the Coca-Cola Championship in last Saturday's 2-1 win over Colchester.

The 25-year-old Hungarian midfielder will join Rangers in a £500,000 deal next month; the transfer is anticipated to be the first of many after the investment of Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal.

Mittal's input combined with the wealth of Formula One moguls Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore means manager Luigi De Canio is expected to be given substantial funds.

Plymouth boss Paul Sturrock made three changes with midfielder Nalis returning to the starting line-up, but on-loan Manchester United youngster Lee Martin was only fit enough for a place on the bench following a hamstring injury. Ebanks-Blake and defender Paul Connolly also started.

French midfielder Nalis had the first opportunity with the game less than two minutes old but could not find the target from six yards after latching onto Halmosi's corner.

Midfielder Norris, who has been linked with a big-money move away from Devon, shot wide and Ebanks-Blake's acrobatic effort was later off target before Rangers took the lead.

Norris shot straight at Lee Camp before Nalis forced the visiting goalkeeper to parry the ball away as Argyle tried to find an equaliser.

Zesh Rehman shot over for Rangers before Ebanks-Blake again shot wide.

Krisztian Timar headed wide before Camp saved comfortably from Ebanks-Blake to keep Rangers on course for a third away win of the season.

The hosts levelled with the first attack of the second half when Rowlands was adjudged to have handled in the box and Ebanks-Blake converted coolly from the penalty spot.

Barry Hayles headed wide from Halmosi's cross before substitute Dexter Blackstock headed straight at Argyle goalkeeper Romain Larrieu from Ainsworth's corner.

Mikele Leigertwood shot over from 20 yards before Ebanks-Blake's late winner left De Canio to ponder making wholesale reinforcements at Loftus Road when the transfer window opens in seven days.

QPR midfielder Leigertwood was sent off after the final whistle for showing dissent.

QPR OFFICIAL SITE - MATCH REPORT
The Rangers revival faltered at Plymouth on Boxing Day as Luigi De Canio's men fought hard but conceded a late, late goal to lose 2-1 at Plymouth.
The R's took the lead at Home Park on 19 minutes when Gareth Ainsworth slotted home at the far post following good work by Akos Buzsaky and Martin Rowlands.
But right at the start of the second half Argyle drew level with a Sylvan Ebanks-Blake spot-kick after Simon Walton was adjudged to have handled in the box.
And the R's had to swallow a bitter pill of defeat when Ebanks-Blake netted in the fourth minute of injury time following a Peter Halmosi corner.
The visitors were left devastated at the final whistle after fighting so hard but, in the end, having nothing to show for their efforts.
De Canio made two changes to the side that started against Colchester on Saturday, with Rowlands and Walton coming in at the expense of Dexter Blackstock and Damion Stewart.
Stewart was forced to sit this one out owing to the red card he picked up against the U's, allowing Walton the opportunity to make his first competitive start since his summer switch from Charlton.
Meanwhile Rowlands overcame illness to feature, with Blackstock dropping to the bench.
Plymouth made three changes in the wake of their defeat at Crystal Palace, with Paul Connolly, Lilian Nalis and Ebanks-Blake replacing Dan Gosling, Gary Sawyer and Jermaine Easter respectively.
The R's came into this match on the back of a good run of form but it was the hosts who had the first chance after four minutes.
Connolly won the ball from Rowlands and found David Norris just inside the Rangers half. The Argyle winger was allowed to race 30 yards before firing a low shot inches wide of Lee Camp's right-hand post.
On ten minutes, Argyle again went close to unlocking the R's defence. Peter Halmosi's ball from the left was excellently dummied by Ebanks-Blake for the on-rushing Barry Hayles, but Camp was able to snuff out the chance.
But it was the visitors who took the lead in the 19th minute with their first real chance of the game.
Buzsaky - playing against his parent Club - found Rowlands down the left with a fantastic half-volley pass, and the R's wide man got to the by-line before pulling it back across the face of goal.
The chance looked to have gone when no-one was able to get a touch, but Ainsworth popped up at the far post to slide the ball home, to the delight of the travelling R's supporters.
Plymouth had the chance to restore parity on 26 minutes when Halmosi's deep cross from the left found David Norris but his looping header was easily gathered by Camp.
The hosts were having the majority of possession but Rangers - governed by the inspirational Walton - looked comfortable with whatever Paul Sturrock's men could throw at them.
Argyle had a great chance to draw level on the half-hour mark, however, when Halmosi's delightful free-kick from just outside the Rangers box was met by the sliding Nalis, but Camp was equal to it, saving from six yards with his feet.
For all their possession, the hosts couldn't find a way through in the opening half and the sides went in at the break with Rangers leading 1-0.
Three minutes after the interval, Argyle were given the perfect opportunity to draw level when Walton was adjudged to have handled in the area. Halmosi cut in from the left before firing goalwards. His effort hit the R's defender on the arm from close range and, after a long think, referee Steve Bratt pointed to the spot.
Ebanks-Blake made no mistake from 12 yards, firing low to Camp's right to score his tenth goal of the season.
The game went through a scrappy spell following the equaliser with three yellow cards being brandished by the referee in a matter of minutes as the match threatened to boil over.
With a little over 20 minutes remaining, De Canio replaced Rowlands with Marc Nygaard, putting Vine wide left. And shortly after, Buzsaky's return to his 'current' Club came to an end when he made way for Blackstock as the R's looked to hit Argyle on the break as the hosts searched for a winner.
And Blackstock, who previously enjoyed a loan spell at Home Park, was soon into the thick of the action as he won a corner for the visitors.
From Ainsworth's delivery, it was Blackstock who rose highest to power a header goalwards from eight yards, only for Romain Larrieu to deny him with a decent save.
At the other end Lee Hodges went close with a deft header from a Halmosi corner, and as the game seemed to be drawing to a close, the hosts had one final chance.
Halmosi's delivery caused panic in the R's six-yard box and, after initially hitting the bar, Ebanks-Blake was on hand to smash home a late, late winner.
To add insult to injury, Adam Bolder was shown his second yellow card for dissent after the final whistle. EDIT: THIS WAS CHANGED TO LEIGERTWOOD SENT OFF, NOT Bolder"To add insult to injury, Mikele Leigertwood was sent off for dissent after the final whistle.

PLYMOUTH OFFICIAL SITE - REPORT
PÉTER Halmosi outshone compatriot Ákos Buzsáky on the latter's return to Home Park, helping Argyle come from behind to earn a Boxing Day victory that keeps the Pilgrims just where their manager wants them to be, on the coat-tails of the play-offs.

A late injury-time goal by Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, who had earlier netted the Pilgrims' leveller shortly after the interval , sent Argyle back into the top seven and a huge Christmas crowd home happy - but it was close.

The opening goals were the result of some perspicacious approach play by the two Hungarians.

Rangers took the lead when Buzsáky began the move that saw Gareth Ainsworth give the visitors the lead midway through the first half.

However, Argyle levelled soon after the interval when Halmosi's incisive running brought about the penalty from which Ebanks-Blake netted his tenth goal of the season.

Argyle manager Paul Sturrock had jettisoned the 4-4-3 starting line-up that had served him to mixed effect on the road at Watford and Crystal Palace.

Luggy recalled right-back Paul Connolly and central midfielder Lilian Nalis after losing them both to suspension a fortnight ago. Victory at Watford meant they were not brought back at the Palace, where a 2-1 defeat last week necessitated the changes.

Connolly was a straight swap with young Dan Gosling, while Nalis's recall allowed Lee Hodges to drop to left-back in place of Gary Sawyer.

A further change was made in the attack, where Jermaine Easter, the Pilgrims' goalscorer at Selhurst Park, was omitted in favour of Ebanks-Blake.

Fit-again Lee Martin and Rory Fallon were among those recalled to sit alongside Easter on the substitutes' bench.

Rangers Italian manager Luigi De Canio had made two changes to the 11 that started Saturday's 2-1 victory over Colchester at Loftus Road, one enforced, one from choice.

Defender Damion Stewart missed the trip to the Westcountry, having been dismissed at the weekend, while striker Dexter Blackstock, who had a successful loan spell at Home Park three seasons ago, was relegated to the substitutes' bench.

Simon Walton was called from the bench to fulfil defensive duties, while Martin Rowlands returned after illness to replace the sacrificed Blackstock as De Canio opted for a five-man midfield, with former Pilgrim Ákos Buzsáky playing in the hole behind lone loan striker Rowan Vine.

If home supporters had half an eye on Buzsáky, his ex-team mate David Norris quickly diverted their attention with a storming run from halfway that went on, and on, and on, until it ended with a low shot across goalkeeper Lee Camp that drifted just wide.

Buzsáky had enjoyed a generous welcome from Home Park's largest crowd of the season which was not as hot as the zeal with which Krisztián Timár nailed his compatriot on a couple of occasions.

Argyle looked lively, with quick, precise and ambitious passing, and some neat little moves that promised more than they ultimately delivered.

Without having looked remotely troubled for a second, Argyle then found themselves a goal down. Buzsáky's ball to Martin Rowlands on the left was hooked out more in hope than expectation but Connolly's slip allowed the Rangers' winger all the time in the world to make the byeline and measure his cross.

The ball went all the way across the face of the goal, barely a yard out, missing players right, left and centre, and Argyle appeared to be the recipients of a monumental let-off until Ainsworth applied a devastating finishing touch.

It took a while - and a yellow-card indiscretion from Buzáky - for the Pilgrims to regain the momentum. After the Rangers' man left his foot in on tackle on Paul Connolly, Nalis helped on Halmosi's free-kick, only for Camp to keep the ball out with his feet.

As the first half ticked away, Argyle raised the tempo and came close to equalising with successive corners.

First, Nalis got his head to Halmosi's right-wing inswinger, with Rangers' defender Chris Barker helping the ball out. Then, Timár rose to nod Norris's delivery from the opposite flank wide.

As they had done at Selhurst Park, Argyle emerged strong and purposeful, and Halmosi had already caused ripples down the QPR right when he won the penalty from which Argyle equalised.

Skipping in between Bolder and Ainsworth, Halmosi tried his luck from just inside the penalty area only for the ball to strike Rowlands. It seemed a clear case of handball, but referee Steve Bratt took an age to give the decision, going right against the old cliché of pointing to the spot without hesitation.

Ebanks-Blake dispatched the opportunity with his customary finish from 12 yards, low and to the goalkeeper's right.

A feisty few minutes followed in which the Argyle goalscorer was booked after a running battle with Walton that went on as play continued around them.

The Green machine was not exactly firing on all cylinders, but still looked capable of getting there when it went through the gears, and Marcel Seip was close to applying a decisive final headed touch to a Halmosi corner played to the far post.

Luggy sent on Lee Martin and Jermaine Easter with 20 minutes remaining, an offensive move and one which offered more width, before Buzsáky gave way to Blackstock for the visitors.

It was QPR who finished the game stronger and looking the team more likely to sneak away with the three points, not least of all when Blackstock headed a corner straight at the previously underemployed Romain Larrieu.

When Argyle did ping the ball out wide, they threatened. Halmosi found Easter in the centre of goal without a marker but the Welshman's header did not match the cross.

Argyle should have been awarded a second penalty when Barker miskicked a clearance. Bratt decided the ball struck chest, which suggests they teach anatomy rather differently in the West Midlands.

Another Halmosi corner, just before the 90 minutes elapsed, went all the way across the goal without receiving more than a feather touch from Hodges' head.

Then chance for victory appeared to have gone, until Ebanks-Blake popped up to slam the ball home from close range following another dangerous Halmosi corner.

The understandable frustration was too much for QPR midfielder Mikele Leigertwood, who earned himself a belated red card for berating a haggard looking referee after the final whistle.
