It's Christmas so it must mean a new manager at QPR. I had hoped for a Play station 3 for Christmas but instead got Paul Hart and a chest infection which meant the new mans first game in charge was played out whilst I lay in bed coughing my guts up.

Hart kept things the same for the visit of Sheffield United with Simpson continuing out wide and 13,000 QPR fans screaming he's a centre forward. Not a great start for the new man who seems to be a very easy scapegoat for all the problems at QPR.

Hart got off to a dream start when Leigterwood smashed in a shot from a Watson corner and the ball was deflected past the keeper to give us a second minute lead. All the players joined in the celebrations in a show of unity and team spirit which is sadly lacking all too often when it's needed.

Sheffield United hit back pretty quickly after poor play by Watson saw him blindly pass into his own box to a United player and the ball across saw Cresswell tap in from close range.

The rest of the game proved to be a dull affair with Sheffield United battling for everything but seeming happy with a point despite having a great chance to win it when Ward shot wide before half time.

Rangers huffed and puffed but couldn't find a way through as Agyemang and Simpson had half chances before Watson's header hit the bar during injury time.

A frustrating draw then at QPR as another new manager quickly realises the team is not quite as good as it looked on paper.
