QPR must start midfielder against Bristol City after performance against Rotherham United.
After being named manager last week, this will be Marti Cifuentes’ first home game in command of the Rs.
After a disastrous start to the season that saw them spend the majority of it in the relegation zone, the Spaniard has been tasked with maintaining the West London team in the second division.
Cifuentes’s first game in command has given him a platform to work on, but all eyes will be on him as he adjusts to his new team.
How did Marti Cifuentes perform in the QPR manager’s debut?
A team that had only won two of their previous nine league games under Cifuentes’ leadership managed to earn just two of a potential 27 points.
In order to secure a draw in his first game as manager, QPR traveled to play Rotherham United, who are also suffering around the bottom of the table.
The new manager of the Rs made some changes, and they appeared to be paying off as Ilias Chair gave QPR the lead in the 50th minute.
They had a clear opportunity to extend their lead, but Georgie Kelly’s goal in the 70th minute allowed the Millers to rally.
Cifuentes was able to snap his losing run in his first game even if the game ended all square.
With nine points and six points from safety, his team is now in second place from the bottom after the point.
