It was another gutting defeat for QPR as the Championship strugglers were beaten by Watford at Loftus Road on Sunday afternoon.
Just as they did against Bournemouth in the FA Cup last weekend, Marti Cifuentes' side dominated in the first half but two Jake Livermore goals from outside the box in the second half proved too much to overturn for QPR despite late pressure and a Lyndon Dykes goal. The side now sit five points adrift of safety in the second tier ahead of meetings with Millwall and Huddersfield this month.
Here's how the QPR stars got on against the Hornets on Sunday.
9. Lyndon Dykes - 6
Was in the right place at the right time for his goal and was a necessary physical presence in the QPR side. Frustratingly wasted two moves with long shots. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
10. Chris Willock - 4
Some nice flicks and moment of dynamism but caught in possession multiple times and frustrated his manager for not getting his head up. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
11. Sinclair Armstrong - 7
The danger man for QPR again. If the survival fight is going to happen, Armstrong will spearhead it. Had a role to play in the goal and will be an impressive player with more work on finishing. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
12. SUB - Paul Smyth - 8
Brilliant looping assist for Dykes' goal. Added quality after he came on from the bench. | Getty Images
