QPR and Bristol City Play Out Goalless Draw

The match between QPR and Bristol City ended in a stalemate, with both teams preserving their recent unbeaten runs. QPR are now five matches without a loss, while Bristol City remain undefeated under interim manager Roy Hodgson. The visitors had the best chances in the first half, with Scott Twine and Mark Sykes testing QPR goalkeeper Joe Walsh. At the other end, Kieran Morgan and Richard Kone had opportunities for QPR, but were unable to find the back of the net. After the interval, Walsh made another important save to deny Twine, while Paul Smyth sliced a shot wide for QPR. QPR head coach Julien Stephan made changes to his forward line in the second half, introducing Rumarn Burrell and Daniel Bennie, but the hosts were unable to break down the Bristol City defense. The loss of Burrell to injury in January was a significant blow to QPR, but his return was met with a warm reception from the home fans. Bristol City have now kept back-to-back clean sheets under Hodgson, who has brought a sense of solidity and organization to the team. The match ended with both teams working hard, but neither able to create any clear-cut chances. QPR's Julien Stephan praised the effort of his players, saying, 'The season is not finished and I think, when you see the effort of the players today, they showed that it's not finished for us in their mindset.' Bristol City's Roy Hodgson felt that the teams had cancelled each other out, but was pleased with his team's performance in the second half.
