Defender "Crocked"

QPR will be without Fitz Hall at home against Bristol City after the defender tore a groin muscle in the 3-1 Cardiff defeat.
The January arrival from Wigan could now be set for an extended spell on the sidelines just a matter of weeks into his R's career."Unfortunately Fitz suffered a torn groin muscle and will require a period of rehabilitation," Rangers physio Paul Hunter told the club's website."He will certainly be unavailable for Saturday's fixture, but it is too early to say how long he will be out for."However, Matthew Connolly is set to shake off a knee problem also suffered in the Bluebirds defeat.

QPR Rocked 3-1 by Cardiff

Joe Ledley's fine brace set Cardiff on the way to a comfortable 3-1 victory over shell-shocked QPR.
Ledley scored his seventh and eighth goals of a stellar season as the Bluebirds extended their unbeaten run to nine matches in all competitions.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was the principal creative force, expertly laying on the young midfielder's second of the evening and feeding Paul Parry for Cardiff's third.
The 35-year-old Dutchman produced a tireless performance as lone striker for 90 minutes until he gave way to Steven Thompson in stoppage-time.
Meanwhile 17-year-old Aaron Ramsey made his full Cardiff debut in the absence of Stephen McPhail.
Midfielder Gavin Mahon replaced Dexter Blackstock in the only change to the Rangers starting line-up.
Parry almost turned his rich vein of form into an immediate reward when he latched onto Peter Whittingham's corner, but Damion Stewart blocked the midfielder's goalbound effort.
Parry was heavily involved in Cardiff's opener, threading the ball through a static QPR defence for Ledley to tap home from six yards out.
Glenn Loovens was a whisker away from doubling the Bluebirds' lead midway through the half, but the Dutchman's header from Whittingham's free-kick missed the upright.
Lee Camp was forced to parry Loovens and Whittingham efforts, and the QPR goalkeeper was fortunate to see Roger Johnson's drilled shot miss his right post on 33 minutes.
Ledley's fine evening continued when Hasselbaink was afforded too much space and set up Ledley for another close-range finish five minutes before the interval.
Johnson should have made it three on the brink of half-time but his header fell just wide.
Rangers manager Luigi De Canio had little choice but to gamble, throwing on Blackstock for defender Matthew Connolly in first-half stoppage-time.
But the Italian must have banished all hopes of a comeback by the hour-mark.
Hasselbaink eluded the Rangers defence on the left once more and crossed for Parry to fire home from just inside the area.
Parry was only denied a second when Camp tipped his rasping shot around the post 10 minutes later.
With a three-goal lead established Cardiff took their foot off the gas, and substitute Hogan Ephraim capitalised with a smart close-range finish after 76 minutes.
Dave Jones' side were further inconvenienced when keeper Michael Oakes had to be withdrawn in the closing stages, to be replaced by on-loan Peter Enckelman.
But Patrick Agyemang could not force Enckelman into a save as Kevin McNaughton charged down the big striker's goalbound effort.

Cardiff vs. QPR Preview

Cardiff manager Dave Jones has fitness doubts over a number of his players for Tuesday's visit of QPR to Ninian Park.
Full-back Kevin McNaughton suffered a dead leg in Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round victory at Hereford, while Roger Johnson is also struggling with a leg injury.
Midfielder Stephen McPhail took a knock to his hip against the Bulls and centre-back Glenn Loovens was playing with a neck problem at Edgar Street.
Jones could call on club captain Darren Purse should any of his defenders fail to recover in time for what will be the Bluebirds' second game in three days.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink will hope for a recall to the starting line-up after Steven Thompson was given the nod for the weekend tie.
Robbie Fowler (hip) definitely misses out while long-term absentees Trevor Sinclair and Riccardo Scimeca are closing on a return but are not expected to feature against the Hoops.
Chris Barker has used QPR's 10-day break to recover from his hernia operation and could start.
The defender missed Rangers' 2-0 win against Barnsley but has returned from treatment in Germany and will compete with his replacement Damien Delaney to start at right-back.
Goalkeeper Jake Cole is boss Luigi De Canio's only absentee with a bruised thumb.
Gavin Mahon returns from illness and Adam Bolder is back after missing the Barnsley game for personal reasons.
Damion Stewart is fine despite being stretchered off with a knock to the pelvis.

Ricketts For QPR

Queens Park Rangers have agreed to sign Donovan Ricketts, with Bradford City bringing Scott Loach in on loan from Watford.
Jamaican goalkeeper Ricketts' contract at Bradford expires at the end of the season and the League Two club have accepted an undisclosed bid.
Ricketts is now undergoing a medical at Loftus Road, with Luigi De Canio moving for the shot-stopper after a deal for Stefan Postma fell through.
With Bradford set to lose Ricketts, Valley Parade boss Stuart McCall has moved quickly to snap up a replacement in the guise of Loach.
The youngster has yet to make his debut for Watford, but he has been on loan at Stafford Rangers and Morecambe this season.
He has now accepted a move to the Bantams and will spend the rest of the campaign with McCall's side.
Meanwhile, QPR have cancelled the contract of Danish striker Marc Nygaard by mutual consent.
Nygaard scored 14 goals in 72 appearances for the R's and is expected to sign a deal with Randers FC in his homeland.

QPR - Heading in the right direction!

Midfielder Mikele Leigertwood has told the rest of the Championship that QPR mean business in the final 18 games of the season.
Rangers have been by far the busiest club during the January transfer window, drafting in the likes of Rowan Vine, Patrick Agyemang and Gavin Mahon, while a host of youngsters and fringe players have moved on.And Leigertwood, a summer signing from Sheffield United, is hopeful of a steady rise up the table over the coming weeks and months.He told the club's website: "With the squad we've got now, I don't think we should fear anyone A few weeks ago, people were probably looking at the fixtures and thinking, 'QPR will lose that one,' but now I think they can see that there's a bit more quality with the way we're setting ourselves up and approaching games."Everything has changed really quickly, but hopefully for the better."

QPR 2 vs. Barnsley 0

First-half strikes from Patrick Agyemang and Rowan Vine secured all three points for big-spending QPR in their Coca-Cola Championship clash against Barnsley at Loftus Road.
Agyemang latched on to Dexter Blackstock's cross to head home from six yards early on, before Vine netted from close range in the closing stages of the half to put the hosts into a commanding position at the break.
And despite the best efforts of a resilient Tykes after the restart, Rangers, who have spent in the region of £5million in the transfer window, held on for victory to put some breathing space between themselves and those in the drop zone.
Resurgent Rangers went into the clash looking for their third win in four league games while Barnsley, in contrast, had not tasted victory in their last seven.
And the encounter was merely five minutes old when Agyemang handed the hosts a dream start, converting Blackstock's left-wing cross to register his second goal for the club since his move from Preston.
Rangers nearly doubled their advantage eight minutes later when Fitz Hall headed Akos Buzsaky's corner narrowly wide from 12 yards.
But Barnsley weathered the early storm and Brian Howard came close to his 11th goal of the season when he drilled a 35-yard free-kick the wrong side of keeper Lee Camp's post after 18 minutes.
Yet it was Michael Coulson who wasted the best chance to draw the visitors level when he headed wide from six yards shortly after.
Howard again tried his luck from distance midway through the half but the Tykes could not find their way past a bullish home defence.
And they were made to pay when former Birmingham marksman Vine converted Agyemang's inviting cross in injury time to hand Rangers a comfortable half-time lead.
But the visitors showed their determination to get back into the game almost immediately after the restart as Jamal Campbell-Ryce saw his drilled effort superbly tipped around a post by Camp.
Barnsley boss Simon Davey decided a new approach was also needed and introduced strikers Istvan Ferenczi and Kayode Odejayi for Diego Leon and Coulson.
Yet it was Mikele Leigertwood who almost put the game beyond their reach with a great shot from the edge of the penalty area that Tykes keeper Heinz Muller did well to push away to safety.
Odejayi almost made the desired impact for the visitors shortly after his introduction, but he could only watch as his close-range header drifted narrowly wide of a post.
Both sides looked capable of adding to the scoreline as the game entered the closing stages and it was Rangers midfielder Martin Rowlands who almost added a third for the hosts with a long-range effort that flew just wide.
