Good evening and welcome to our coverage of QPR v Newcastle at Loftus Road

Best is back on the field now, but he isn't getting much service at all so far, QPR continue to create the majority of the chances and it is just a surprise they haven't taken the lead yet.

CLEARED OFF THE LINE AGAIN!!! For what seems like the hundredth time Taarabt does well to make space and plays in Wright-Phillips on the right. Coloccini makes a well timed challenge but Wright-Phillips is up quickly and Krul is rushing out of his goal, the winger gets his chip just right but Steven Taylor is back to head it off the line, great defending.

Ryan Taylor sends the free-kick long, but Kenny is out quickly and claims it comfortably.

Best is hobbling off now, he hasn't been substituted as yet but he looks in a fair amount of pain.

Bit of a pause here as Best receives some treatment, the crowd by the dugouts are entertained though as a cat runs around there, not sure where that football fan of a feline came from.

Bit of a wild lunge from Derry there on Best, he catches him late with his studs on his right knee. It wasn't intentional but he gets a booking for the result nontheless.

Taarabt and Wright-Phillips continue to develop their blossoming relationship as the Moroccan plays a diagonal ball from deep looking for the run from the England man down the right, it evades the head of Stephen Taylor but also just skips away from SWP.

Taarabt is disposessed on the edge of the area but it bobbled up nicely for Wright-Phillips to strike on the volley, he gets it all wrong though and it flies over the bar.

Tiote does really well out on the right, playing a one-two to get behind Traore. He gets a dangerous cross in looking for Best but Gabbidon does well at the near post to get a clearance in.

Good delivery from Taylor but it is well defended again in the air by Rangers and they break with Bothroyd but he can't find the run of Taarabt, throw-in to Newcastle.

The visitors win a free-kick as Simpson is felled as he advances down the right, Ryan Taylor is over it.

It really is all QPR here, Newcastle trying to play on the counter attack but Rangers are well organised at the back and are mopping everything up very easily.

The resulting corner finds Bothroyd and his header is kept out on the goal line by Simpson!! QPR getting closer and closer here and it looks like a matter of time before they score.

ANOTHER GREAT CHANCE FOR QPR!!! Yet again Taarabt finds Wright-Phillips and he drills it in towards Bothroyd. He has his back to goal and can't get a shot off so lays it off to an advancing Faurlin, he strikes it from eight yards out and Taylor does brilliantly to make a block.

Ferdinand sprays the ball out from centre-back to an advancing Luke Young, he tries a first time header down the line to Wright-Phillips, but the winger hadn't read his intentions and it runs out for a goal-kick

It doesn't get them anywhere in the end though as Simpson's throw is wayward, QPR continue to be on top here.

Cabaye working very hard high up the pitch putting pressure on the QPR back line and it pays off as he wins his side a throw-in deep inside the home side's half.

QPR are certainly creating enough chances here, Wright-Phillips is proving extremely dangerous on his debut, the more they miss the less comfortable they will become you would think though.

Bothroyd a whisker away again!!! More brilliance from Taarabt in the centre of midfield, again he finds Wright-Phillips and this time he fires it in across the six-yard box low, Bothroyd stretches for it but can't quite reach the cross, so close to the opener again.

Barton has been pretty quiet so far, he puts an end to a promising move there by giving the ball away when looking for Taarabt. Surely he can't go a whole 90 minutes without some kind of controversy?

The pace of the game has settled down a bit now, it was some what frantic before, this is more manageable.
