QPR and Bristol City Play Out Goalless Draw

The two teams played to a stalemate, with QPR now unbeaten in five matches and Bristol City not having lost since Roy Hodgson took over as interim manager. The Robins had the better chances in the first half, with Scott Twine and Mark Sykes both testing QPR goalkeeper Joe Walsh. At the other end, Kieran Morgan and Richard Kone had efforts for QPR, but neither team could find the breakthrough. In the second half, Walsh made another good save to deny Twine, while Paul Smyth sliced a shot wide for QPR. QPR head coach Julien Stephan brought on Rumarn Burrell and Daniel Bennie in an attempt to change the game, but despite Burrell's impressive return from injury, the home team couldn't create any clear-cut chances. Bristol City have now kept back-to-back clean sheets under Hodgson, who has improved the team's solidity and organization. The match ended with both teams working hard but unable to create any meaningful opportunities, with QPR's Tomi Horvat over-hitting a pass in stoppage time that would have put Delano Burgzorg through on goal. QPR head coach Julien Stephan praised his team's effort, saying "the season is not finished" and that his players had shown they still have the mindset to compete. Bristol City's Roy Hodgson thought the teams had cancelled each other out, but was pleased with his team's adventurous approach in the second half.
