New signing Sampsa Timoska featured at the heart of the Hoops defence, but he was powerless to prevent Chelsea from scoring three late goals at Cobham.
Dominic Shimmin also featured for the R's, in a match which saw both sides field a host of trialists.

John Terry did not play in the reserve team training ground friendly today, but continued his rehabilitation, working with rehabilitation physio Thierry Laurent.
The reserves and youth team players had Christmas and New Year off, and returned to training yesterday. The friendly game against QPR was set up some time ago to get legs and hearts working again.
Terry was mooted as playing in some of today's newspapers, but was never scheduled to.
Instead he watched with brother Paul who had called in to Cobham once John's work was finished. He also chatted to QPR manager John Gregory.

Chelsea's starting line-up was: Hamann; Triallist, Worley, Morais, Bertrand; Triallist, Cork (c), Younghusband; Simmonds, Sahar, Hurrell. The score was 0-0 at half-time.
The basic second-half team was: Hamann; Cummings, Hutchinson, Bridcutt, Elmer; Woods, Triallist, Triallist; F Ferreira, Nielsen, Sinclair.
Woods opened the scoring after good work by Nielsen getting round the back of QPR's defence. Woods then stole the ball in Rangers' half to set up Sinclair on the edge of the area. And when Ferreira's cross was handled, referee Dermot Gallacher awarded a penalty which Sinclair converted.
Chelsea thus won 3-0.
Amongst the spectators at different times in the game were Arjen Robben, another player in for rehabilitation, and Bournemouth manager Kevin Bond who had Cork and Bertrand on loan earlier in the season.
Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini were also in for treatment today, but the rest of the side had the day off. Khalid Boulahrouz will have a scan tomorrow. Joe Cole had his foot operation on Monday and is at home recovering.
The youth team is at home to Crystal Palace this Saturday and away to Liverpool in the FA Youth Cup the following Saturday. The reserves are away to Tottenham the Monday after that.
