Two
points lost rather than a point gained in a dull game at Loftus
Road. The first half was a total non event. Gallen and Peacock went
close for Rangers whilst Wayne Allison went close for Huddersfield.
Matthew Rose
was looking assured in defence but a clash of heads with Breacker
saw him taken off for Karl Ready. Ready did OK but the team lacked
composure at the back.
The second half
began the same as the first, very dull but that changed when Peacock
was brought down under a terrible tackle by the number six. (No
idea of his name) Peacock was taken off and Baraclough curled an
excellent free kick around the wall into the top corner for his
first goal for the club.
Murray was unlucky
not to add to that goal with Nico Vaesen making several good saves
from long range efforts. Kevin Gallen was then replaced by Iain
Dowie but this move backfired as Rangers sat back trying to hold
onto to the one goal advantage.
Huddersfield
then equalised after confusion at the back left Lawson free to tap
home an equaliser Leon Jeanne was then brought on and Peacock went
close from a Jeanne cross but another good save denied Rangers.
Rangers threw
men forward but couldn't get the win they deserved despite a poor
performance by many of the players.
Man of the
Match: Kevin Gallen
