Cardiff won 3-2 on penalties

Rangers started unchanged from Saturday and started well with Kiwomya missing two great chances. Cardiff rallied and got the goal they deserved after Miklosko flapped a cross.

Instead of getting down and fighting Rangers played without a care in the world and the rest of this report may as well be left blank. It was the same as much of last season absolutely rubbish.

Peacock ran his bollocks off as did Gallen but for some reason Gallen was being booed whilst Kiwomya stood around missing sitters and trying to fight the number six. He was terrible. Gallen made one stray pass and the crowd got on his back and he was taken off during extra time.

Scully came on for Breaker and was very poor. Rangers did have several chances to win it though but Kiwomya and Breacker were guilty of missing great chances whilst Langley and peacock were unlucky with two long-range shots. Miklosko still had more to do making some good saves from Brazier but we got a goal in extra time.

Kiwomya was brought down and Peacock converted the penalty to become the only QPR player to score in the first five games of a season. Instead of going for it, Rangers sat back and paid the price when Cardiff scored again from another Ludo fumble.

So it went to Penalties at the Loft end, which I think, is a first. Peacock had his saved low bottom left, , then they scored top right, Rowland scored top right, then they scored, Baraclough was saved very well then Ludo made a save to bottom left onto the bar.

Langley then did one of the coolest pens I have seen to score in the bottom right corner, before they scored again to put it all down to Kiwomya. For anyone who saw his penalty against Palace then lets just say it was just as bad. Rangers lost 3-2 on pens and deserved to go out of the cup.

Man of the Match: Gavin Peacock
