QPR 0 Reading 0

A draw was a fair result in a competitive and reasonably enjoyable, if not exciting, game. Both sides had their best chances in the early stages ; Heidar Helguson headed wide from Damien Delaney's inswinging cross, and Khalifa Cisse's deflected shot bounced off a post for Reading. Defences were pretty much on top after that, but there was no lack of effort from either side. Stewart and Gorkss were oustanding for Rangers, Routledge did manage to evade some very tight marking to cause problems on a couple of occasions, and Miller had an encouraging debut in midfield.

Nice to see Loftus Road full, although not so good to have to fight your way to the bar before the game and the toilets at half time. Just goes to show we should count our blessings even when the ground isn't full and the opposition aren't great !
