QPR OFFICIAL SITE REPORT

The reserve team drew 2-2 with Wycombe Wanderers in an entertaining encounter at the Causeway Stadium.
Rangers looked to be crusing to a 2-1 victory before a controversial late penalty made the game all square.
Rangers lined up with Jake Cole in goal, a back four of Hislop, Evatt, Ukah and Yelland. Steve Lomas started in the centre of midfield with Marcus Bean. Adam Miller was on the right and Andrew Howell moved from his familiar left back spot to left midfield. Luke Townsend started up front with Stefan Moore.
Rangers started brightly on a pitch that was still suffering from the rugby match played on it at the weekend. The visitors went close when Sfefan Moore met with a cross from Adam Miller but saw his header hit the bar. Much to everyones surprise the referee awarded a penalty for a push on Moore.
The ex-Aston Villa man dusted himself down to take the penalty which was saved by Alloway in the Wycombe goal - the referee though, ordered the kick to be retaken. This time Moore blasted it home and the Superhoops were 1-0 up.
Midway through the first half Rangers made an enforced substiution when Jake Cole turned his ankle. He was replaced in goal by Sean Thomas - it is still uncertain how long Cole will face on the sidelines.
Rangers went in at the break leading 1-0 and it took Wycombe until midway through the second half to equalise. Jonny Dixon hit a low shot across the goal that nestled in the far corner.
Stefan Moore picked up his second goal of the game when picked up a through ball from Adam Miller. The striker slid in to knock the ball past the advancing Alloway.
It looked as if Rangers were heading for a win until a harsh last minute penalty. Ian Evatt was penalised for an innocuous challenge and Dixon converted the spot kick.
It was a dissapointing end for Rangers, but Steve Lomas came through the full 90 minutes. The midfielder did receive a knock on the ankle in the first half but he managed to run it off and complete the game.
Team: Cole (Thomas), Yelland, Hislop, Lomas, Ukah, Evatt, Miller, Bean (Ngongou), Townsend, Moore, Howell
Subs: Ngongou, Thomas, Bernard, Johnson

Wycombe Official Site Report: QPR PAY THE PENALTY
Wanderers' Reserves came back to salvage a 2-2 draw with QPR in a game of penalties at the Causeway Stadium.
Opposing strikers Jonny Dixon and Stefan Moore both notched doubles in the evenly contested clash but it was referee Mr Creighton who stole the limelight with a last minute decision which earned Wycombe a draw.
Despite not giving what appeared to be a stonewall penalty when Ugo Ukah dragged Dixon down with five minutes remaining he made amends for that decision by awarding Wanderers a dubious spot kick in injury time which the striker cooly slotted home.
Earlier in the game the visitors had gone ahead in the first half when Moore's retaken spot kick beat trialist keeper Sean Alloway at the second time of asking but even that decision was questionable.
Sergio Torres was adjudged to have barged Moore in the back just before his header crashed the crossbar from Adam Miller's centre and although no player appealed a penalty was given.
Alloway, currently with Staines Town, did ever so well to save the first effort but when the linesman claimed he'd encroached from his goal line too early Moore made no mistake with his second chance.
Wanderers were fiedling two other trialists in the game in Jason Rose and striker Eric Obinna and it was the latter who could have snatched an equaliser on 23 minutes. However, after Dixon had flicked him through, the 24 year old Reading frontman fired into the side netting.
Another chance came his way on the half hour mark but with onrushing stopper Jake Cole forcing him to think on his feet, the Nigerian delayed his shot and his heavy touch went off for a goal kick.
At the other end Miller sliced wide following a neat pass from former Man City and West Ham midfielder and the same man was inches off target with a free kick as half time approached.
The second period took a while to get going and when it did Miller was again the man who nearly extended the visitor's lead had it not been for a strong challenge from Alloway.
With half an hour left, QPR introduced ex-Blues youngster Tamba N'gongou as his old friend Rashid Kamara came on for the home side and it was his graft that supplied the equaliser for Dixon.
Following Obbina's thunderous shot from inside the area that rocked the woodwork, Kamara fended off three Rangers players to slip Dixon in who finished with some aplomb.
Luke Townsend flashed a cross come shot along the face of the Blues six yard box five minutes later and Miller rose highest to send Moore on his way to restore Rangers' lead soon after.
But as the floodlights came on at a gloomy Causeway Stadium it was Wycombe who had the last laugh as Dixon buried his penalty and claimed his seventh Pontins Holday Combination strike in eight games for the second string.
